Can I delete a profile folder if it is empty?

After update of FF 36.0.4, I did a regular maintenance; cleared the cache, history and cookies. Went to restart FF later and unfortunately it does not open. I followed the instructions to support FF to locate my profile folder, trashed the prefs.js file and restarted FF, after which he opened and worked perfectly. During this process, I discovered that I have 2 profile folders; one was completely empty, but the other has a lot of files into it.

How do you I find myself with an empty profile folder, and is it possible to remove it? I assume that this file is not necessary, but none of the bandages cover a "vacuum" profile folder If it's good to remove it, can I just he move to the trash, or y at - it a more complicated way to remove a profile folder empty? By complicated, I am referring to the support article to "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles#w_removing-a-profile" which took my head turn and now I'm scared to do something. I wonder if the empty folder is really empty, or if it seems to him just to be empty, but in reality there are hidden files that are associated with that are stored elsewhere on the computer. My god. Thank you.

If the folder is empty, you can remove it. You do not use it in any case, given that firefox doesn't work with an empty folder, and firefox uses only one profile folder.

  • I can't delete my profile photo (s) of the e-mail application Outlook in Windows8.

    I can't delete my profile photo (s) of the e-mail application Outlook in Windows8. I managed to remove from the desktop version, but there is a profile picture for both of my alias in the Mail application. One of them is at least five years, I do not even add another. How can I get rid of these? It's boring say least, since there is absolutely no logical explanation for them be there or a simple way to remove them. I tried the MS Community. I am not connected to all other accounts (Twitter, FB) with the exception of Google. I already have the option to disable the third party linking.

    Hi, Paul Zanoni2013,.

    Thanks for pointing out to us that you are unable to delete the photos profile appears in the application Mail in Windows 8. I understand that it can be annoying to not get this problem after trying the suggestions that you are looking for. We review and try to get this resolved.

    Please check if the same pictures as profile appear in your account on https://profile.live.com? If so, then delete it pressing on Remove. If a different profile picture appears, then it is possible that you are connected to another account on the Mail app. Can you please check it?

    Please also send us a screenshot of the images appearing in the Mail application, and provide your address e-mail affected for further investigation. I have provided a secure private message where you can download them. Just make sure that you are connected to this site to see the link in private message notification.

    We look forward to your response.

  • Had to install XP Pro in one folder other than the Windows folder. Can I delete the new folder without causing problems?

    I was cleaning some ad/bad/spyware on the computer of a friend. It runs XP Media Center 2005. When I restarted it, it wanted a password. He put never, ever. The only work around was to reinstall XP without deleting any of his files (more than 8000 music files) because it is not anything save. I put the new XP in a different folder, I named. After searching around, all of his stuff is there and I can access, but this new folder is take a LOT of resources/mem. There is almost nothing in this record, I can delete the new folder without compromising each other, installation? I think I would need to get rid of mode safe mode with command prompt. I did it so many times, but it's never happened to me. Help!

    Once you get the drive installed, simply use xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files, with a fairly large music 8000 drop these command-line utility will be faster than to try to copy them through the Windows Explorer GUI.  Xcopy is integrated with Windows XP, Robocopy is available for download from Microsoft.

  • How can I access the profile folder?

    IOriginal title: profile disappeared

    I had a user account under 'Pierre' (I am the only user/administrator) in which there were many folders (travel, photos, music,...). This folder/account is not accessible and visible in the Solution Explorer. Yet, when I do a search under 'C' it is still there under c/users and I can copy files and folders from there to store them in a different folder where I do not have access to the future.

    How can I do this immediately accessible account again under explore with all the data that was there without recourse to this procedure of workaround/copy of humungus? Dozen thank you!

    What you reference is not an account, but a profile folder. It's probably hidden. You now need to tell Windows Explorer to show hidden folders: Tools / Folder Options / view / show hidden files, folders and drives. When you see then it again, by that you can view it right click it and checking its properties.

    To be the only 'administrator': it is a very risky way of running things. In this forum we receive a flood of requests from people whose one and only admin account has failed for some reason any. Plan in advance and creating, testing and documenting an alternative admin account would you save a lot of trouble.
  • Reset used, bad results. ALL copied from old profile to the new file, & FF file now takes 100% of CPU. I can take off safely profile folder?

    Audio delayed or does not stop when you run a video. So I used RESET. Lost bookmarks & homepage & ADBLOCK and who knows what else. So I just copied ALL the files from the old profile on my desk in the new found under troubleshooting. Put everything back, but now FF use 100% CPU when running. I'm sure that I messed up by copying everything but little, I freaked out when I saw that I had lost so much. What can delete the current profile safely folder? (Yes, I feel like a fool and I regret just is go with my screws upward, but I really need help with this).

    I didn't know how to find your answer to what earlier. In the meantime, I used back once again, & found printed the info that I need to copy ONLY the files that I need between previous & new. (Not done yet). But this time, my favorites return. (YAY! "I have a ton of bookmarks). The CPU usage is now reasonable.

    Thank you all for your answers!

  • How can I delete windows.old folder without losing the hibernation file.

    Mr President.

    I recently refreshed my system and a unwanted windows .old file has been generated and it consumes 11 GB of my disk space. So Iwould like to delete this file but the HP support assistant gave me a warning that I should not remove hibernation and sleep file, otherwise I would lose this facility of my system. Thanks for mentioning the steps I have to do to remove the same.

    Yours faithfully,

    R_rk06

    Hello

    Folder Windows.Old has nothing to do with the Hibernate. If uou wishes, you can remove it using cleaning system, not normal to delete, to explore. The following steps see the way in which:

    1. Open Disk Cleanup by clicking on the button start . In the search box, type and then disk cleanup in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.

      If you are prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

    2. In the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click on clean up system files.

      If you are again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

    3. Select the check box Previous Windows installations and the other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

    4. In the message that appears, click on delete files.

  • How can I delete a library folder?

    I moved all my media music on a server, that I then sync with my PC to guard against a drive failure. But iTunes now has the media server and my local copy in the form of folders in the library, and therefore most of the music appears twice. Is there a way to tell iTunes to stop registering the local library folder and look at the media server?

    The PC is a feature of Windows 7, I am running iTunes 12.3.1.23. Hacks registry, if any, welcome!

    Thank you
