Hi paulboca,

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

Description number, I want to know if can delete files as Setup.ini, install.log, etc.

I suggest you not to remove all the files in the root of the drive because they are system files and they are necessary for windows works properly.

If he wants to free up space, you can delete the temporary files.

Follow these steps.

a. press the Windows key + R.

b. now enter hit and type temp

c. now delete all the temporary files.

d. Similiarly, you can delete the prefetch and %Temp% files by repeating the steps above.

  • How to delete files in the folder of information system volume on replacement disks?

    How can I delete files that were up on another system (XP), after that I inserted the disc into my new Win 7 system.  The files seem to be impossible to remove.  This is not a progress :)  What can I do to remove these files?  They take a significant amount of space, and I want to be able to put what I want on these drives.  What I have to get out my old XP discs just to do this?  Please tell me I don't have to (: I remember to clean my machine win 98 with the commmands BACK a file and directory at a time.)  I hope were not there...

    rfitzpa877

    , This does not resolve the (ARRRG!) system volume information files, but their size is reduced to nothing...  If someone does not know how to remove these files, I would like to know how.  I formatted one of the disks and apparently not one of these folders have yet.  In fact, I bluff on that partition and formatted & that seems to have managed to get rid of these pesky files on this drive.  Am I the only one who thinks I should have control over my own system?  What is the point of having administrator rights?  Maybe it's time we give administrator rights.  I am not at all impressed by it.  From the looks of the number of points of view on this thread, I'm not the only one with this problem.  If I want to disable the protection and to get rid of the files, why I can't?

    You just started to fall on this real guilty about "kits of infected roots.  Lets imagine that a crime is committed in a House.  who is instantly a suspect?  for example, wife disappears > husband is the first to be questioned.

    In the case of a MS OS Microsoft has really strengthened WAY out of bounds. For half a year that I traced the issue to them anyone who or what that monitor my progress erased my data and sent me to a goose chase 6 months have no opportunity to even connect online for days or weeks I was left down my school because I was not able to turn on a computer to write an assignment or a test with any reliability.

    This virtual virus haunts me, but he gave up because I happened to scan hundreds of pages of documents trying to burn DVDs or whatever it is to preserve the legal evidence (paralegals).

    I can bet my next "update" will be what I call and copyright 'virtual Virus '.
    It is my opinion based on my experience real and even documenting months and months of troubleshooting the data I recorded full time has of course changed or deleted.   These facts showed me that Microsoft et al. will do anything even my personal destruction for nothing more than try to get control of my own personal private property.
    By diligent and hundreds of thousands of hours, I am convinced all my personal files are monitored without legal or judicial supervision.
    So yes, deleting these files is not only the best of the options, it leaves the possibility of attacking or anything be it launch at will and, therefore, it IS THE ONLY OPTION.

  • Thousands of PES files in the root folder of drive D?

    I'm under PSE 13 on a Windows 7 system. I was shocked and horrified to discover, after use of PSE 13 days that the root folder of my D: drive where I have installed PSE13 has nearly SEVEN THOUSAND files! These are for the most part of the xml, bmp, jpg, psd, mp4 and .gif files. It is an absolute no no prospects of a good Windows file system management. Applications should NEVER store hundreds or thousands of files in the folder root of the drive, one. That is why the sous-sous-sous-dossiers/sous-sous-sous-repertoires.  Can you imagine the chaos if every application developer did it?

    More surely there be a way to specify where these organizing files can be stored and place them in the folder of my hard disk where they are absolutely not?

    mxgordon wrote:

    ... Unless it started in PES 11 I had installed before the upgrade to 13, however, when 11 was installed, it's all on the C: drive. I pass the process of conversion of the catalogue of 11 to 13.

    The files usually have names like 'B0000000.pref', 'B0000002', 'B0000005.dat', B0000006.xml, 'B0003495.xml', 'B0003496.bmp', ' "B0006834."» "JPG", "B0006816.psd" and a huge 2 GB of files "Photoshop Temp2287141416368".

    What you show, it is the content of a backup folder. It's a pretty common problem to find all the files in a folder root of a drive when the destination of the backup folder was not specified, the drive letter.

    A backup folder contains files renamed image as "". B000000 ". "JPG", where the suffix is maintained. All the other files and subfolders are renamed in the original catalog file. More important still, the backup folder contains the two most important files, "catalog.buc"(a copy renamed your database "catalog.pse11db" and a "backup.tly" file that contains all the information to rename the files and store them in their structure of tree of file origin of the command of the "restoration" of the Organizer. Catalog backup file is usually created on an external EHD. The restoration process normally allows you to set the location of the main folder on the backup drive. Users don't often specify a folder to create for this purpose; I always recommend to create the backup folder before the restore process.

    Your case is a little more complicated due to several factors:

    -you have converted from version 11 to 13

    -you have installed an SSD

    -you have installed software elements on D: which is something not 1% of typical users will do.

    This and your answer shows that you and only you can find what you've done to get the contents of a backup in the root folder. The answer requires you to remember all of the previous steps, you have done to convert the backup and migrate to the D: drive.

    What is not clear to me of your two different messages, is if the problem is to find files cumbersome and unnecessary in the root or folder if you have also problems with your catalogs and library of image files. If you have no problem to remove unwanted files from the root folder, you simply use Explorer to delete all files starting with "B00" over the catalog.buc and backup.tly file. Instead of delete, you can even move them to a newly created folder: this will create a valid backup folder.

    Thanks in advance for your comments, they can be very useful for other users.

  • Installation/configuration of the name of the file to the root...?

    I'm apparently the aging... I don't remember the name of the file created in the root that contains all the configuration specifications used when installing ESXi.  I forgot and I can't...

    ESXi 4.1 recently introduced automated kickstart of deployment, it is very similar to the classic ESX kickstart, but there are significant changes you so probably need convert your classic deployment a deployment of ESXi. As mentioned before, ESXi kickstart isn't the same as classic and there is no initial KS.cfg which is located in the root directory of the system, after the deployment. You will be able to display something similar under the /var/log/esxi_instal.log as mentioned in my last answer. I recommend that you take a look at the document of kendrick and maybe this stuff/trick post about ESXi 4.1 kickstart - http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2010/09/automating-esxi-41-kickstart-tips.html and him give a test to let you know what I'm referring to

  • Try to change the root directory in built-in Server

    I run the server integrated into ColdFusion 9 to test a web site that I am building. My site is located in a subfolder of the folder wwwroot directory ColdFusion9 (C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\Everett\*). I try to use links relative to the root, but I would like that they refer to this directory, not the wwwroot directory. For example, I would like the link "/ index.cfm" to open the C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\Everett\index.cfm as opposed to C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\index.cfm. It is my understanding that this is possible through the virtual mapping.

    I added this code in the jrun - Web.xml file in the WEB - INF directory:

    <>virtual-mapping

    > resource path < / * < / resource-path >

    < path system - > C:/ColdFusion9/wwwroot/Everett / < / path system >

    < / virtual mapping >

    Then I moved folders CFIDE and cfdocs in the Everett subfolder.

    Then I restarted the ColdFusion server.

    Now I get the following error message:

    404

    java.io.FileNotFoundException

    When I go to http://localhost:8500 / I can see all of the appropriate files and directories, so I can see that the root directory has been changed, I'm simply not view any document.

    Any thoughts?

    Jeremy

    HA! I don't know why it works now, but it does. Alexander, I tried your method and it did not work, but then I moved the directory WEB - INF back to wwwroot and he's fine now. For those keeping score at home, here's what I've done with:

     

        /*

        C:/Web_Sites/Everett2

     


     

        /WEB-INF

        C:/ColdFusion9/wwwroot/WEB-INF

     


     

        /CFIDE

        C:/Web_Sites/Everett2/CFIDE

     

    As I said, I don't know why it didn't work the first couple attempts, but it works now and I guess that's all that matters. Thanks for all your help!

  • Managed server starts once the root directory specified.

    Friends,

    I am facing a problem when you start the managed server. I've specified the directory root as/var/opt/bea / < DomainName > / < servername > tab to start server in the administration console. I kept running node Manager.

    My env details are as below:

    AREAS of DIRECTORY: / opt/bea/areas / < DomainName >



    Once I start the server managed from the administration console, the node Manager log becomes with the message as below:

    Thanks in advance

    In fact up to 7,0 WLS wls always used to create the domain within the BEA dir install dir only.
    but we can specify the directory of area outside the facility of dir BEA WLS 8.1.
    It's the only relevance for the different directory for a domain you can specify the domain root dir anywhere on the file system.

    Now the root directory server the only relevance to the root directory of the server is different from the root dir field is when you have your domain distributed on different machines.
    For example: If you have a domain with a server and administrator on a Machine and a server run on the B Machine.
    Then you can't have root directory of the managed server, the directory of the domain as the root directory of the domain will reside on computer A and Managed Server Root Dir will reside on the Machine B.

    And if you start the managed using the node Manager server and that you have not specified that the directory root of the Managed Server through the java_option then by default the root directory of the managed server will be created with in the nodemanager/common/WLS_HOME directory on computer B.

    And if you managed servers in different domains on the same Machine B therefore all managed servers by default their directories root within the nodemanager dir which will make it difficult to recognize what managed server belongs to what field.

    Therefore, it is always recommended to have specific server root directories if the field is distributed on several machines.

    Hopefully this will clear your queries.
    Thank you
