It is not possible to have the files duplicate in a folder.
 
Perhaps mean you that you have duplicated files in * two * folders.
 
What can or should delete them depends entirely on what files
are and what they are in folders. If these are files of Windows, no doubt
No, but please be specific on the file names and folder.

  • How can I delete the folder "Creative Cloud Files" from my PC?

    I never used Creative Cloud storage and probably never will be. I have no files in the folder, and it is therefore irrelevant.

    It appeared in the file Explorer, 2 days ago under/c:/users/ME... and it added a shortcut to itself in the Favorites section in the file Explorer.

    I deleted the favorite and the folder, but the next day, when I turned on my laptop, both were appeared again.

    Same thing again today.

    Is there a way to permanently delete the folder, or at least stop the favorite shortcut to reappear?

    The simple solution was presented above by Oskari Oksanen, just change the location of the file of CC users files / your name to another folder.

    It is not the perfect solution, but it's fast and easy.

  • I can't delete the post of WinRar on my files that were downloaded and now I can't get anything to open

    I can't delete the post of WinRar on my files that were downloaded and now I can't get anything to open

    Please describe your problem in more detail. Tell us that that "cannot delete" means. Exactly how do you try? What happens when you try? If you get an error message, please quote verbatim.

    Or do you mean 'change' expansion, rather than "delete." Have you tried?

    And one last point: If the files have the rar extension, what are rar files. The file format does not remove or change the extension.  If you remove or change the extension, they will always be rar files. A rar file can only be successfully opened by Winrar or a compatible program.

    The error after I try to open a WMV file in an email shows the above that "the parameter is incorrect" and I can't open the wmv file.

    Check the suggestions in discussions below:

    You can also check what type of file has .wmv files.
    Go to the control panel. Click default programs.
    Click associate a file or Protocol with a specific program type.
    Highlight .wmv and see what kind of program is to open these types of files.
    By default, there are Windows Media Player.

    If it's another program, change to Windows Media Player and then try again to open the .wmv files.

    You can try this program:

    Use the deep Scan option. It may take some time.

    The System File Checker can repair some of the files in there, but probably not all.

    It's probably at least some of the files that have been overwritten. so I would say the the more safe thing to do is to reinstall Windows.

  • Can I delete the Office Setup files?

    I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat DC .exe file. After the launch, he unpacked a bunch of files on my desktop (currently using Windows 10). The installation process creates a folder in my program disk. Everything works very well. My question: can I now delete all files that have been copied to my desktop? It occupies about 650 MB. Can I delete the .exe file in my download folder. Once again, big file too much room.

    Hi Jimmy5W,

    The Acrobat folder saved on your desktop includes the extracted files once you have installed Acrobat.

    You can delete this folder on the desktop as the main installation file is saved in the folder Program Files of Windows.

    Kind regards

  • In Lightroom, after that I turned my RAW files to DNG can I delete the original files?

    In Lightroom 5, after that I turned my RAW files to DNG can I delete the original files? I am fill hard drives at time (or so it seems) and I remember someone once telling me that after I converted my dng files RAW versions, I could delete my original RAW files.

    Is this true?

    Ideas?

    Entry?

    Thank you!

    Yes, you can remove the original RAW files once convert you them to DNG. The only downside is that if you want to use the software from the manufacturer of the camera for a reason, so key information that can be used by the software manufacturer is deleted in the conversion from RAW to DNG.

  • I can't delete a duplicate named folders created in error by Thunderbird while moving messages with drag and drop

    I had created a folder with a long as name "Deborah Brown - HP laptop acting, very slow, etc." this file was created to contain messages that have been received in a top-level folder, and then moved to this to the appropriate ranking related emails many. I had done many times before without a problem. But this time, when I slipped and fell on a message in the folder a double was created, but accompanied by an annex of '2547417' at the end of the name. IIRC, the message was in the records at the time of the original and a copy. IIRC, I did not notice this at first and when I dragged/left down another message he created another folder in double, but this time with the suffix "211613d". At any given time more far in the process (I don't remember quite well how) both of these files got duplicated again but this time were with the same name with added suffixes as noted... something I wouldn't have imagined. Given that the messages I was moving were safely (?) stored in the original folder, I deleted the message content duplicated records duplicated without any problem and without any effect on the content of the original file.

    Then I tried to delete the duplicate folders... not allowed. Then I noticed that if I tried to remove the second instance of each duplicate name, which was a success... at least as much as to move it to the trash. If I then returned and tried to delete the first instance it is, once again, not the law. I then tried to rename the files by adding a prefix a single character. Once more, if I worked on the second instance of the name I could rename it but would be foiled again if the first instance. Then, * I think * (extra large grains of salt here) is that I renamed the second instance and removed from the trash that I could then work on the others and rename and empty the trash.

    But everything for nothing. If I closed Thunderbird and restarted the duplicate folder names reappearing. Then I tried the fix given for not being able to delete messages because of a corrupt trash folder. That did not help either. Even if I use a POP account and could remove the files from the two basket my account information, whenever I would restart Thunderbird trash will reappear by himself and the so-called deleted duplicate files right with her and in the hierarchy of their original folder.

    I'm mystified and have given up trying to remove these things. Fortunately, the removal of messages from other folders and empty the trash of these messages seem to work normally. I have not yet tried to delete another folder and hesitate to do.

    Thank you very much. Exactly, that solved the problem. There was almost no delay in starting. I'm still very curious as to how it happened, but it may never be known.

  • How can I reinstall the RTL 120 BPL file?

    Original title: rtl 120 bpl

    How can I reinstall the RTL 120 BPL file

    Rtl120.bpl file has Nothing to do with Microsoft Windows.

    It's just a B orland Precompiled Llibrary file with a third party software provider.

    File rtl120.bpl Embarcadero Technologies and is installed on your system to third party such as software packages:

    AVG (their component PC Analyzer)
    TuneUp Utilities
    Advanced System Care (ASC)
    IOBit Malware Fighter Pro

    For example, if you have installed Advanced System Care and rtl120.bpl file that is installed with it goes missing, the message may look like this:

    ASC.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because rtl120.bpl not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    There may be other third-party applications that installs the file, but if you do not provide the exact error message in its entirety person aren't going to be able to help.  And given that the file has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft Windows, maybe nobody in the Microsoft community will be able to help you without more complete information - like the error message and that if one of these third-party applications (or those like him) you have installed.

    If the system has worked very well and now the file seems to be missing for some reason, it was probably quarantined (effectively deleted) your antivirus/antimalware unspecified software applications.  Perhaps you can also find an updated file in quarantine and he unquarantine.

    With too little information provided, you can expect only theories and speculation about what the problem is and how to fix it.

    If you have one of these types of third party applications or where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:

    cleaner, mechanic, stop at the stand, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, Inspector, clean, tune up, speed up, fix up, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. Click fix, instant fix, new, intuitive, errors, stops freezes, stops crashing, stop crashes, stops errors, improves, saving you money, risk free, guaranteed or any third-party program that has an icon that looks like a gear, pinion, belt holders, key, key, screwdriver or plunging arrows?

    You may need to uninstall and reinstall these applications (do what the error message).

    If you have this error and none of these products have been installed and reinstall does not help, then you must go to the support page help because the file has nothing to do with Microsoft Windows.

    You might be able to solve the problem to simply uninstall and then reinstall the distressed product (do says what that error message).
