How can I delete a file that is no longer associated with a page?
I have an obstacle that prevents me from completing a task.
I am trying to build an asset spry - specifically a vertical menu. When I built at the beginning of the page, I have built the menu. However, the look was rejected and asked me to re - create. I went back, deleted all references to the spry assets and stripped from the page menu. But when I open the page that I want to build the menu again, it always shows a .css and .js file associated with that event, even if they are not. And when I try to restore the assets, it will not add the file .css and .js appropriate because he thinks that the files are already created. See the screenshot below to see what I mean.
If anyone has any idea how to tell Dreamweaver that these two files are more associated with the page, I would appreciate the help. It is the last major obstacle before I can complete a project.
Thank you
Ken
Hello
Provide you deleted all references to js/css files, (have you removed the code at the bottom of the page?), use the spry updater to insert your new js/css.
You can get the spry update extension form the area of downloads here - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/.

Two points:
1. If you want to delete some installed programs, do not make
deletion of the folder they are in. That doesn't remove them only partially and
can cause problems. Remove programs by in control
Configuration/program Panel and features.2. a drive of 74 GB is a tiny disk these days. There are a number of
things you can do to save space, but they are all basically
temporary and you will soon find yourself in the same situation.
The only real solution is to buy and install a larger capacity drive.
Fortunately, they are very cheap these days; You can buy a 500GB
drive for about US $65.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

I hope I am posting this on the forum,
I want to delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.
I went into computer management console & know that the primary partition - drive C system, boot, pagefile, active lists, dump incident & main partition in brackets but I don't know about the virtual memory paging file. No, there is some data on it. I've been saving the other partition - C drive on an external hard drive.
I know that I have to back up this data but where I should come back to? And why is it called (Primary Partition) when it is used only as a return to the top by car?
I'm only wanting to do because I'm running out of space on my drive C & D drive are the same size! 143 GB & 139.5 GB

Hello
D: is not a partition backup of your machine.
Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:
They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)
You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

Once that a file is uploaded to iCloud drive remove it from my hard drive to free up space?
I want to free up space on the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. Once I have download on iCloud can I delete from my hard drive and still maintain a file of cloud? Another way to put it: once a file is uploaded to iCloud by car, if I remove my hard drive it will remove automatically iCloud drive?
Thank you

iCloud Drive is a synchronization service. If you delete a file from iCloud, it is removed from iCloud drive and vice versa.
It is not an effective way to free up space on your MacBook.

I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.
My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.
My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.
I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.
There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!
Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!
I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
You just continue to make attempts, using a tutorial after another.
As long as you have these unchanged copies of backup of your DBX files, you should survive it - other than frustration. Email PC remains a mess. -

I move a file from a hard drive to a usb port and now I lost the USB I get the hard drive

"Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
the unrecoverable file.So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
be very poor now.But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)

How to recover files from my hard drive?
I tried to upgrade windows 8.1 to 10, but something was wrong and I can't boot my laptop more. I have Samsung i5. Samsung has it s own recovery program, but impossible to locate all personal files from my hard drive (C:\user) s.
The problem is - my accont is protected by word (with the microsoft account) how can I recover my files? They are also protected by Word? Can I access simply by making the copy of disc or I´ll to decrypt?
It depends on if you have encryption enabled or not. If you have the encryption on, then you will need a copy of your encryption key or the files will be locked forever.
If you encrypt your files, you can recover the files simply by putting the hard drive on another computer and navigate on it as if it were a USB key (it's just a reader), you can even appropriating and re - set the permissions on the folder.
Another option is to start by using any Windows install CD or USB. At the prompt to install, skip it and press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt. So to reach this player (the letter can be no C: in this mode) and use the command copy to copy the file to another disk or USB stick.
