A multitude of what seems unnessesary files in "search results."

Check to see why my laptop becomes so sensitive over slow although I have 4 GB of RAM, I kept looking everywere and when I clicked then open and RECENT LOCATIONS 'SEARCH RESULTS', I found 3677 elements here, but when I tried to remove them. I stopped when deleted files reached 20700 and 2000 files. Does anyone know how this rubbish gets there in the first place and it is safe to remove it completely. Any help is very appreciated.     John

Hello

I suggest you to check once more and confirm if there was an increase in consumption of space of hard drive because of these duplicate files.

If there is an increase in consumption of hard because of these duplicate files disk space, then the computer may have a virus infection. You can run a scan of MSS in safe mode with network.

Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

In addition, if there is no infection of viruses on the computer so as mentioned previously, you could probably be referring to the recent lists is just shortcuts that will not cause a slowdown. If you open one of these saved searches, and delete the results, then you are probably trying to remove real files, no shortcuts.

You can provide a screenshot so that we can better guide you.

Please post the screenshot of the issue you're talking about. Follow the steps in this link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-do-i-post-a-screen-shot-on-this-forum/c86de820-c620-401c-a804-9f6337cd3053

  • Could not open the file of search results

    I can't find my file in foder, but it is visible in the search results. When I try to open it is showing an error indicating the name of the file can be renamed or deleted.

    Help, please. I use windows 7

    It seems that the file you are trying to open is a shortcut file and the original file is deleted or moved to another location. When you open the shortcut file, it locates the file to the path where it is saved. If the file is moved or deleted, then you will not be able to open the file using the shortcut.

  • When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

    I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

    If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
    (To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

    There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
    One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
    When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

    The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

    Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
    How can I fix?
    Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

    I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
    (I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

    Imane:

    I thank very you much for that answer.
    But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

    Strangely, this worked:

    (Maybe you know why).

    I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
     
    When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
     
    When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
     
    I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

    I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

    You have probably installed a 64 bit version of Flash for Firefox plugin.

    Firefox is a 332-bit application, so you need 32-bit versions of a plugin to make it work.

  • What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it?

    What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

    This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

  • What kind of file is this: 46fa66248075f8afb16aa495b4e95d

    I am trying to learn how to clean my pc as much as possible without doing damage LOL.  Can someone tell me what kind of file it is on the c: drive: (46fa66248075f8afb16aa495b4e95d), I searched the internet but nothing.  I guess this is something that the pc uses to retrieve information.  Thanks in advance.

    See if this sounds like your situation and react accordingly:

    When some programs (including Microsoft programs) install things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.

    This explains why sometimes files are on your C drive or some may be on a different drive - the most space?

    For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:

    C:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5
    or
    D:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5

    There may be other folders and files in this main temporary folder such as amd64 and i386 platforms.

    They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails.  They are harmless but annoying.  You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary.  To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.

    If your installation failed or installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it is finished running and you run again the installation, the installation again will another folder to the random name.  Sometimes, you will see several folder like this and they can all be deleted.

    You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders.  If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.

    Records are sometimes tough to remove.  Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders.  Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.

    There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.

    Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is one good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.

    If you are running XP Home Edition, the following section on turn off "Simple file sharing" does not apply to you since in XP Home, Simple file sharing is always turned on.

    If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK.  This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.

    Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab.  Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.

    With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, sharing, customize

    With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, security, customize

    Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.

    It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.

    I used to suggest Unlocker if the above methods fail, but Unlocker installs now so junk I'm going to suggest he not more and looking for something else...  If anyone has any ideas for an alternative to Unlocker I hope they will tell us!
