Can I delete my folder structure and put all my files in a main folder

Hello

I would like to remove a complicated production structure and pull it all in a single folder for now.  So instead of going to the folder documents/file/1 has / folder I etc... I just simply go to the documents.

It would take too long to do it by going into each folder and move the files, all the shortcuts would be much appreciated!

Thank you

I just tried with the document library. Using the Details view andinclude subfolders... selected in tools > Folder Options > search in the search box type
 
* type:(NOT folder)
 
This should lead to a list of all the files in the Documents. Then press Ctrl + A to select all to where you want to cut or copy. I copy into a new empty folder under My Documents before deleting anything. If you have the Type column is visible, you can see certain types of file - shortcuts, for example - that you're not particularly interested in cluttering your new simplified with folder. When you are quite sure this is what you want to do, you can delete everything in My Documents , save the new file, and then move that content to a higher level.

    5 pages is located in your Applications folder.

    Pages ' 08 is located in your Applications/iWork ' 08 folder.

    If you open your old documents Pages ' 08 with 5 Pages it will convert and if not damage, remove a large number of useful features.

  • I can't delete a folder. In addition, in some cases, I can't delete some files.

    Using Windows Explorer (Windows XP) I can't delete a folder. (The data are not a program).

    File attributes are set to "hidden files" and the folder is empty (0-byte and no files are in the folder).

    In addition, the folder properties (and file) / attributes are 'read only '. When I uncheck "read only" and click OK, then look again at this, the box comes back to "read only with a check mark. (???)

    When I try to delete the folder, the message says "no empty folder", and it won't delete.

    Also, when I try to delete some files (in other cases) some people will not remove.

    Help, please.

    The 'read only' box on issues is not what he says. ignore it.

    A folder will not delete if it contains a locked file.  You will need to unlock and remove the file first.

    "Some files" will not delete because they are locked - that is to say, they are in use by an application.  There is a utility called "unlocker" used to be recommended to correct this situation, but the download now includes adware that may be reported by your antivirus/antimalware dangerous application.

    An 'empty' file that will not delete can be fixed if you run chkdisk.  Click Start > run and type the following command, and then click OK

    chkdisk/f

    A window will open to inform you that chkdisk /f cannot be run while Windows is active and proposed to schedule a chkdisk for the next reboot.  Answer Yes and restart.  When chkdisk is complete, delete the folder.

    The files that appear to be in use can be deleted by one or more of the following techniques:

    A. deleting a command prompt window.  You need to know the name of full of the file path.  For example, if you try to delete a file named test.txt that is located in a folder named Non empty folder on your desktop and your user name is NR16020, the full path name is C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non empty Folder\\test.txt

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Use the del for the files command and the command rd for folders.  If the full path name includes spaces, include it with double spaces.  Using the example:
      del "C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder\\test.txt empty"
      'C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder Empty' RD

    B. remove in safe mode.  To access Safe Mode, restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 immediately after that the power on sequence is complete.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and need to try again.

    C. remove from a command prompt with closed Windows Explorer.  If the procedure fails because the file is locked, follow these steps:

    • Close all running applications
    • Open the Task Manager
    • Open a command prompt window
    • In the Task Manager process tab, right-click on explorer.exe, and then select end process
    • Open the command prompt window and follow the steps listed in point A above
    • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK
  • I can't delete a folder of my trash.

    I can't delete a folder of my trash. When I right click on it, it permanently deletes all the files and the folders that I have here, however it is still there. It is not a big problem, it's all just annoying. Please let me know if you have a solution. Thank you!

    Try to use Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml this programs often works when the normal functions of remove Vista not work correctly.

    If this does not work, you need to change the permissions and ownership on the file in order to have all the rights and the property (even on the inherited rights).  Then try Unlocker.  Here's the information to help you do.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  • If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files?

    If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files? drive C whereas the partition that has the operating system and drive D is the lenovo drive that has all the drivers lenovo and all those. Did I lose my files?

    Yes, the collection clears all of the C drive and you will lose your files. The solution would be to backup regularly to an external HARD drive and after the key one to also restore the files from the external hard drive.

    This has been answered before, if you do a search for "key recovery" it appears among the first results.

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk

  • burn mp3 to CD audio files, can not put all the files in the 1 disc,

    I am trying to burn mp3 to CD audio, if I choose audio CD, some how when I drag the file in the burn list, it's auto show 1 file in a single disc, how can I put all files on 1 disc? If I choose the data disk, so I put all the files in the 1 disc

    In fact, when you copy MP3 files as such, it is written as such, in digital format. In other words, the size of the file is important here. Depending on the size of CD, 650 MB to 800 MB, you can add files only up to the storage capacity of the CD.

    In the case of the audio CD, the data is written in analog format (as a cassette tape or gramophone record). In other words, in the present case, the duration of the file audio issues. The capacity varies between approximately 74 minutes to 90 minutes, respectively.
    Because each file is 50 + minutes, as stated in your post, it is normal to restrict a file per CD, such as the capacity is 74 minutes to 90 minutes. If you use the MP3/WMA format instead, you can put all the files in a single CD.
    Answer if your problem is not solved.

    They probably had the IE icon because Windows automatically associate with IE html files.

  • Can I delete my folder "music" once that my music has been added to iTunes?

    I just make the switch from a PC to a Mac and I'm currently putting all upward. As someone who has never used iTunes before that I have a simple question:

    I had a music collection of reasonable size on my PC in a folder called "music". I copied this entire folder on a hard drive external and then pasted on my new iMac tab music in the finder. Then I started iTunes and added the majority (but not all) of the music in the folder "music" from my iTunes library. Am I right in thinking that iTunes actually another copy of all my music in the iTunes folder, which means that I now duplicated a lot of music? If he made a copy, can I now delete the folder "music" original? I took care until I copied it all from my PC that all of my pieces is in MP3 format only, not WMA at all.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Am I right in thinking that iTunes actually another copy of all my music in the iTunes folder, which means that I now duplicated a lot of music?

    If you have the default settings, the answer is probably yes.  To be sure, right-click any track in iTunes, choose 'Show in Finder', and you will see what copy of a song file iTunes uses.

    If you have another copy of the song file, iTunes didn't need, and you can remove at your discretion.
