  This isn't for Vista - after each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files. With Vista, is a differential backup, rather than a full backup and uninstalling files in Windows XP.  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

• How can I stop Windows Vista Search Results including files that have already been deleted?

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium Version 6.0.  When I use the windows search feature (navigate from the 'new' start icon) search results include files that have been deleted.  This is quite annoying because it dilutes the value of the search result.

• Impossible to delete files that have already been deleted?

  There are about a dozen files on my computer that I can't get rid of.  They are all 0 bytes long.  I think I tried to remove them and their data has been deleted, but the filenames themselves could not be removed because they contain illegal characters.

  Here is the set of characters used for file names.

  a to z

  A to Z

  0 to 9

  _

  ()

  []

  '

  Here's the message I don't understand why I try to delete them, open them, rename them, edit them, move them or do something with them.

  This item was not found.

  It is no longer in C:\Users\ShadeSwan\Downloads. Check the location of the item and try again.

  Name (text) file type: file size: 0 bytes updated the: 01/01/2014 12:01 AM

  Then try to Cancel

  I tried to recreate the files by doing a new text file and save under the same name of the files with no data. It seems to work at first (one of the two files will disappear), but when I remove the file or rename it or change it in any way originally undeletable reappears.  I can't delete, open them, rename them, edit them or move them by starting a different OS on Virtualbox and access the folder they are in.

  I'm about to leave Windows for Linux.  I never had no problem doing something as simple as deleting a freaking Linux file.

  1. Go to start, search cmd, right click and click "Run as Administrator".
  2. Type "chkdsk /f" and press enter
  3. Answer 'Y' to the question and press to enter.
  4. Restart when you have to run the error checking.

  Note: you can also check the hard drive for bad sectors, but this may take several hours. You can use chkdsk/r.

• If I delete files that have already been uploaded on my Time Capsule for more storage in my Mac, will I still be able to have access to them, while I am connected with the TC?

  I'm in desperate need of storage so I need to know before you start deleting all the files.

  You copied the files on the TC directly... you don't mean in TM backups?

  What files are you talking about because some applications are NOT supposed to work network... for example APA iphoto and photo storage.

  You must also remember to backup... TM can back up files to a TC.

  You may end up losing your files, so be very careful... It is better to use a fast USB... plugged into your computer and then add it to your TM backups.

• Removal of the old update files

  I moved from Vista to Windows 7 (downloaded myself).  I am concerned about all the old backup files I have on my computer.  How can I determine what I have and how to remove them.  I did a deletion of hotfix files Backup on my XP, such as recommended by someone in this forum, and it worked.  Should I delete the old files of backup for Vista and Windows 7?

• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

• How to remove the old compressed files? I have over 200,000.

  After being run-up disk cleanup, I show more than 200,000 old compressed files.  How can I remove them?

  You delete a file compressed just the way that you remove any other file, BUT...

  You can't really delete these 'compressed old files.  By default, in Windows XP Disk Cleanup tool will compress files that have not been used for 50 days.  Well, you can keep the files to which you have not accessed in the past two months.

  You can change the disk cleanup period is used to determine if a file is 'old'--> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/make-disk-cleanup-compress-olderor-newer-files-on-xp/

  However, many people (including me) just disable the analysis of "old files" because it is run much faster disk cleanup: see, for example,--> http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?49060-Disable-Compress-Old-Files-in-Disk-cleanup or http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm straight line 48 (notice that there are two links, one to turn off "compress old files" and the other for him re - allow to) those reg files also change how Disk Cleanup deals by default temporary files - temporary files accessed during the 7 days are not deleted; the first files reg Kelly happening in 0 days and the file "undo" restores the default value of 7 days).

  Hi PJG_918,
   
  To resolve this problem, you must turn off Simple file sharing and then take over the folder.

• The 11g using uninstall tool to remove the old binary files?

  Hi all
  
  I know that with 11g, the preferred method for deleting old binary files is to use the uninstall tool (in/deinstall/of-install $11G_HOME). However, is it possible for me to remove the old binary files using this tool?
  
  For example, my 11g ORACLE_HOME (that is to say that I want to keep and use) is /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db
  
  And I have the following binary files on a particular database server:
  
  Oracle@myserver:/opt/Oracle/product > ls
  
  10.2 11.1 8.1.6.2 8.1.7.1 8.1.7.4 9.0.1.0 9.2.0.2 9.2.0.5 agent
  10.2.0.3 11.2.0.3 8.1.7.0 8.1.7.3 8.1.7.4.32 9.0.1.1 9.2.0.4 9.2.0.6
  
  As you can see, I have binary files dating back to before the beginning of time (8.1.6, nice) and I wish I could clean it carefully.
  
  I tried to uninstall (just under the checkonly, to ensure that it "sees" the old house) 10.2 binaries using the 11 g uninstall tool and got the following error:
  
  /opt/Oracle/product/11.2.0.3/DB/deinstall/deinstall-Accueil /opt/oracle/product/10.2/db - checkonly
  Verification of the required files must be treated and...
  Please wait...
  
  ERROR:-House does not have to be defined for a deinstall linking in an ORACLE_HOME.
  Uninstalling the current House is supposed to.
  
  Any thoughts? I absolutely don't want to uninstall the current home!
  
  Mark

  If you want to get rid of the old the ORACLE_HOME, then you must use the corresponding version of uninstall and must be run from the ORACLE_HOME.

  The best way to remove the ORACLE_HOME is to deattaching the old ORACLE_HOME with inventroy and remove this old House.
