• 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.

• Cannot delete the folder windows.old with explore or disk cleanup

  Hello

  I'm trying to remove my windows.old folder in my system disk and I tried following http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder but Disk Cleanup doesn't show "Previous Windows installations" as an option to remove.

  Explorer doesn't let me delete the files either. It keeps prompting by saying that I must have administrative permissions, even if I am logged in as a user who is a member of the Admin group! I tried to take possession of the file with no luck either.

• Deleting the folder Windows.old in Windows 7 to 8 afterupgrading

  I've recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and then again to 8.1. A copy of my old windows has been kept on the C drive as old windows, then again in the form of old windows 001. When I tried to delete the first, I made a mistake and changed the permissions of the user: Pauls PC in the folder 'properties '. But then I made a mistake again when I got bored with waiting so that he finishes and you press "Cancel". Yet once, I stuffed up - when I was warned by the pop-up that I can cause some serious trouble if I do not change the permissions back immediately, I ignored it, and now I have 15 GB hard drive that I can't access. The other windows 001 old that I got rid of listening on online forums and creating an administrator account. Can you help me with advice, or I always this hard disk space?

  The built-in system cleaning app allows to safely remove the files, rather than delete directly from the file Explorer.  Here's how:

  1. Press +R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK
  2. Select all types of cleanups to perform, and then click OK to clean the drive.  If you care only cleaning of the update, go to step 4 instead.
  3. When you are finished, press on +R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK once more.
  4. This time, choose "clean up system files" at the bottom of the box first and then recheck all types of cleaning.  He is one who will have the opportunity to "Cleaning Windows Update". The first pass (step 2 above) won't do.

• I can't delete a more than 10 bookmarks at once, I can't delete the folder of bookmarks

  25, 10.8 Mac Firefox
  If I try to remove more than 10 bookmarks at one point or a folder with bookmarks in it, FF hangs, then says that there is a script that is not running correctly & do I want to continue or to stop the script - I tried to continue but it just crashes again and I tried to stop the script but it still hangs...
  I restarted FF, turned off sync, enabled synchronization.
  I tried to export my favorites to HTML, change in a file then the re - import, but the file is incomplete - it contains all the folder in my favorites.
  Deletion of bookmarks is a pain since Sync was introduced and Firefox isn't an app official iOS and the 3rd party does not always work, so I don't get a lot of use of sync

  This also happens if you temporarily disable the synchronization?

  Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

  You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

• How can I recover the modules and their data from a failed HARD drive (the lost BONE areas, but data files are readable)?

  The HARD drive that was my OS (Windows XP Pro SP3) failed and lost quite a few areas which are essential for the operating system running. Other data is still readable. A got another HARD drive and installed Windows XP SP2, Firefox and other programs. I was able to retrieve the bookmarks, security certificates, and other profile information using the information found in bandages.

  None of them addressed how do to recover the modules or their data. Specifically, there are several large, elegant scripts that took months to develop and customize.

  Articles related to migration and other do not work for me because they require the old copy of FF is functional, that is not because the OS on this HARD drive is damaged. Is it possible to recover these data, similar (or not) about how I could get the other profile info?

  Have you copied the entire folder C:\Documents and Settings\username \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\ on the old drive?
  If this is not the case, can you?
  If so, make a copy and save this folder just in case.

  If so, you could replace this folder on the new facility by \Profiles\ [with your profiles inside] folder and the profiles.ini file [delete all other files / folders that may also be in the folder "Firefox"] -and then replace with the same folder named from the old failed drive. Note that you will lose what you already have with the new installation / profile!
  Your profile folder contains all your personal data and customizations, including looking for plugins, themes, extensions and their data / customizations - but no plugins.
  But if the user logon name is different on the new facility that the former, any extension that uses an absolute path to the file in its prefs will be problems. Easily rectified, by changing the path to the file in the file prefs, js - keep the brake line formatting intact. The extensions created after the era of Firefox 2.0 or 3.0, due to changes in the 'rules' for creating extensions usually are not a problem, but some real old extensions that need only "minor" since that time can still use absolute paths - even though I have not seen myself since Firefox Firefox 3.6 or 4.0.

  View instead of 'Modules' I mentioned the 4 types of 'Modules' separately - Plugins are seen as 'Add-ons', but they are not installed in the profile [except those mislabelled as a "plugin", when they are installed via an XPI file], but rather in the operating system where Firefox 'find' through the registry.

  Note: Migration articles can tell you do not re - use the prefs.js file, due to an issue that I feel is easily fixed with a little inspection and editing. I think you can manage that my perception is that you have a small shovel in your tool box, if you encounter a problem you are able to do a little digging and fixing problems with the paths to files - once you have been warned.

  Overall, if you go Firefox 35 35 or even Firefox 34 to 35, I don't think you will run in all the problems that you can not handle [that I cross my fingers and "hope" that I'm not on what it is obvious].

  With regard to the recovery of the 'data' for individual extensions - there are many ways that extension developers used to store their data and pref. The original way should save in prefs.js or their own file RDF in the profile folder. While Firefox has been developed more, developers started using their own files in the profile folder. And because Mozilla has started using sqlite database files in Firefox 3.0, Mozilla extended their own use of sqlite, as have extension developers.
  Elegant uses the file stylish.sqlite to store 'styles', but something in the back of my mine tells me that 'the index' maybe not in this file with the data. But then again, I can be confusing myself a question I had with GreaseMonkey awhile back where I copied the gm_scripts folder in a new profile and with already installed GreaseMonkey but with no script. These GM scripts worked, but I could not see them or modify them - they do not appear in the user GM extension interface window in Firefox.

• How to restore old data from Firefox on Windows 8?

  I just got a new pc that runs Windows 8. I had saved my old Firefox data so that I can restore my favorites and Add ons. However, once I had installed firefox on the new pc, it wouldn't show a new folder in which I could copy my old data. Refreshing, did not help because, when I re - open Firefox, it does not give me the option of using the old data. Help, please!

  I actually managed to fix it myself by going to the Profile Manager and create a profile. If anyone has the same problem, happy to help.

• How can I disable the warning "this connection is not approved", which appears almost each time I try to go to a Web page via Firefox? I use 10 64-bit Windows.

  I just upgraded to 10 64-bit Windows. The version of Firefox that works now on this OS regularly displays a blocking window that told me that "this connection is not approved" when I try to connect to a third-party site. A screenshot of the window copy is attached. How to disable this warning? I can't continue to use Firefox if I can't find the 'off' switch, which so far has escaped me.

  Yes, this is the feature, and it is lit.

  How it works, is that ESET intercepts all your browser connections to filter the content. If it is an HTTP connection, it is transparent. For an HTTPS connection, ESET must present a certificate of 'false' for Firefox site so it can be the "man in the middle" and decipher and read the answer (otherwise, it's gibberish, of course).

  ESET is supposed to insert his signature certificate in both the Windows certificate store (used by IE and Chrome) separated from Firefox AND the browser certificate store accepts the false certificates. But it does not always work. In this case, you can import the certificate manually in Firefox. If all goes well, which has been covered in the manual, but otherwise it's basically along these lines:

  (1) search or save a copy of the ESET signature certificate (it is a file in DER format that usually has the .cer extension). Is your second screen shot what appears when you click View Certificate? Try this:

  • Click the Details tab, click the button "Copy to File. This will start the Export Wizard.
  • In the wizard, choose the DER format and save in a suitable location (for example, your Documents folder).

  (2) import the file into Firefox as follows:

  • In Firefox, open the Certificate Manager to:
    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > mini-onglet Certificates > "view certificates" button.
  • Click on mini - the References tab, then on the 'Import' button and find the DER file. Note: I suggest allowing the certificate for websites only.

  I have attached a few screenshots of reference sample.

  Old post I know but I had this problem on several of my removable HDs, and finally I managed to remove the 'System Volume Information' folder:

  DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR C: DRIVE OR YOUR WINDOWS HARD DRIVE!

  Right click on desktop, and then click [New-> shortcut]
  Write: cmd.exe

  Click [next] and then click [finish]

  Right click on cmd.exe icon, and then click 'run as administrator'
  Now select the external hard drive (f: in my case)

  C:\>f:

  Yes now the following (you can copy paste):
  F:\>attrib s h/s/d
  F:\>attrib - r/s/d
  F:\>Rd "System Volume Information" / s
  Are System Volume Information, you sure (Y/N)? There

  And you're DONE ;-)

• Cannot delete the folder com4

  A folder are created automatically in my external hard drive.

  I can't delete the folder... whenever I try to delete an error that says "cannot find com4.
  the name of the folder has been "Recycle" I even changed the name it of "Seven", but still the same error occurs.
  I already have the permissions using the... tried Security tab the 'icacls'... also tried 'Take Ownership' method method...
  But nothing helped...
  When I tried to copy the folder on the desktop the below error appears 4 times
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  It is no longer in

  tried it on windows 7 & 8.

  help... it just irritates...

  "Com4" is a name reserved under Windows. You can solve the problem as follows:

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     RD /s /q \\.\H:\Seven\S-1-5-21-842925246-2025429265-682008880-1013\com4

• Cannot delete the folder / tried various diets of 'ownership '.

  There is a kind of corrupted file chrome left Google in program files after that I uninstalled chrome via "Win 7 programs and features. This file won't let me reinstall chrome. This has happened after cleaning by CCleaner. Size of the file is listed as 0 bytes.

  Chrome is currently uninstalled. I can't delete the folder "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Google ' use one of the following plans:

  1. 'Ownership' context menu hack registration (works but no difference in deletability)
  2. Hidden administrator account (said again: access is denied when trying to remove it)
  3. Uncheck the 'read only' box in the properties of the folder (access denied)
  4. Properties-> Security-> Edit-> any changes to permissions (access denied)
  5. Properties-> Security-> Advanced-> Change the owner myself (supposedly it worked, but still can't remove)

  There must be some deeper meaning to delete stuff than simplistic solutions, I can find online.

  Thank you.

  If you need to delete the files or folders in a system directory, then you must first turn off UAC.

  Alternatively, if you are familiar with the controls of the console, you can remove them under an elevated command prompt.
