can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.

  • How can I delete a file from my backup/archiving?

    I am new to computers and I'm still trying to understand a lot of what happens, I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with OS Vista Home Premium on a 64-bit platform. I downloaded a program to open an attachment, I received in an email, only to find out that I had to pay for it so I uninstalled when I did that he left behind a pop up that starts with the startup program, it tells me that there is a problem with the installation and to reorganize. I went to the boot file on all programs at the start of the menu found and deleted, but the next time I start the computer the pop showed once again. I went back to the file and there are still and removed the more I found it in other programs, including my C drive, I deleted all the and the next time I start the computer of pop showed once again. I went to the boot again file and this is once again so I removed it, while he was in the trash, I clkd on the properties and I found a box saying archives with a mark of chk in the box. Guess the file itself is the reproduction in the archives and the archives are backup is I? So, how in my backup file to find the file for the pop up and remove? If I can, I went through several books I have on computers but there is no explanation and I tried the computer but I can't find any specific information that will help. I sent several different security screens through the computer and it did not pop up (called cure pilot) (using Norton, Superantispyware, and Microsoft Security Essentials) so I don't think it is malware and my computer is not having more or less problems than what she normally. If I can't dig the file and delete any other ideas on what to do with it? I'll download CC Cleaner and try it. Thanks for any help.

  • Can I delete individual files in a backup of Windows 7?

    Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to delete individual files from a backup. I like to keep my backups tidy and get rid of files that I would need is more if I need to restore.

    Thank you
    Mike

    Hi Mike,.

    First of all, it can normally be done, but it's not simple (and much more complicated/difficult {to the point where some people will say "no, it cannot be done"} if it is an image backup full rather than a full backup; and even with a full, more complicated backup but just more effort if differential backups indivdual also play a role, since you may need to check each of them also).

    That said, the answer will also depend on what you used as backup destination.  If it was and external HARD disk or a separate internal HDD or a network location, then you will probably be OK.  If you used a set of DVD or CD, it of extraordinarily difficult or, if the drives are not the RW types (but guys R), impossible (since you cannot make changes to them once they are written).

    See this thread to see if it helps: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/delete-individual-files-from-a-backup/5dbbe219-e062-4a11-9d87-a8ec26d97174.  Don't forget to use Browse for the files, as you see not individual files with browse for folders.

    If this does not help, then I recommend research and/or validation of help in the TechNet Forum dedicated specifically to the problems of backup here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/.

    In my case, since I the backups periodicals full image as well as weekly full backups (with daily differential backups) AND maintain multiple copies as "backup backups' so to speak, it would be even more complicated.  If I felt the need to do (but I don't see a good reason, it would be NECESSARY that desperately and leave just the time to cure the problem), I would probably remove the file from the system and just launch a new series of backups that although a lot of time, maybe more simple in the end.

    Good luck!

  • can I delete old files from the version of the download folder?

    Original title: Deleting files from the download folder"

    I have improved my bit in Windows Vista, there are a large number of files downloaded into my download folder, can I delete the old version files?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly you want to delete the content in the folder downloads.

    Things that you download are actually Setup. Beams compressed files that are checked in the folder programs.

    If after installing the program these installation files have no real use because all the content has been extracted and copied.

    So you can delete them. But I suggest you keep a backup, because in case you want to reinstall them they will be very practical.

    Hope this information helps. Response to help you further. We are happy to help you.

  • I can't delete some files from Windows Media Library

    I emptied on all downloads of music from my computer, but I am unable to get rid of titles and generic icons for in Windows Media Player (5000 of them). I tried all the remedies published without success.

    Is it possible to remove and reinstall Windows Media Player?

    Can anyone give me more information?

    Thank you

    Hi Trifolium Verde,

    Follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem with Windows Media Player.

    Method 1

    You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears thetitles and generic icons

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Step 1

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player , and then click OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

     

    Step 2

     

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

    3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

    Method 2

    If the steps above do not resolve the problem, you can try to disable Windows Media player and then enable the feature that is as good as the uninstall and put it back. Follow the steps below to do the same.

    To enable or disable the window Media Player 12, follow these steps:

    1. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programs and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. expand Media features clear the check box next to the feature of Media Player, to remove media player. Click OK and restart the computer.

    3. turn on the media player again by selecting the check box next to the feature of Media Player.

  • Can I recover individual files from a backup drive

    I just did a system restore and have reloaded my applications.  Before proceeding with the recovery of the system, I did a backup of my data files on DVD individual using the HP Wizard.  I would now like to restore SOME of these data files, but not all.  Is this possible?  My OS is Windows7.

    Thanks for the reply Dokie, I called HP for the following tips but you cannot see the individual files to cut and paste just to display the contents of the DVD (or USB stick).

    You must restore each drive but save it on the desktop under a new directory name.  The path will be saved so you can then see which ones you want to cut and past to their location within your individual applications.  Thanks again.  Dcubed
