Can't delete the sidebar folder in El Capitan

I added a folder to the sidebar to use as a temporary shortcut, so I could collect, rename and save a bunch of files.  Now, when I click on the folder and do slip out of the Finder window, he refuses to leave the sidebar.  All the patches?  I could not find.

Try right click (control click) on the file in the sidebar in the Finder, and then click 'remove Sidebar '.

  • Had to install XP Pro in one folder other than the Windows folder. Can I delete the new folder without causing problems?

    I was cleaning some ad/bad/spyware on the computer of a friend. It runs XP Media Center 2005. When I restarted it, it wanted a password. He put never, ever. The only work around was to reinstall XP without deleting any of his files (more than 8000 music files) because it is not anything save. I put the new XP in a different folder, I named. After searching around, all of his stuff is there and I can access, but this new folder is take a LOT of resources/mem. There is almost nothing in this record, I can delete the new folder without compromising each other, installation? I think I would need to get rid of mode safe mode with command prompt. I did it so many times, but it's never happened to me. Help!

    Once you get the drive installed, simply use xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files, with a fairly large music 8000 drop these command-line utility will be faster than to try to copy them through the Windows Explorer GUI.  Xcopy is integrated with Windows XP, Robocopy is available for download from Microsoft.

  • How can I delete the e-mail addresses of complete automatically stored in Thunderbird, without any clear?

    In the AutoComplete e-mail addresses, old invalid addresses keep in this list that are not in any address book (not more).
    How can I remove one from the list, or maybe all?

    (Thunderbird v31, Dutch)

    The only place for Thunderbird to get the suggested addresses comes from your address books. I've seen some appear not not in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact has been saved.
    Sometimes, you can start a new message and when bad contact appears select. Create the message, and drafts. Then you can go to the project folder, open the message of project by right-clicking and select open the Message in the tab. Then click on the star to the right of the contact and it will open the button Edit contact. From there, you can delete the contact.
    This does not always work well.

    what I try to do is to remove the old windows folder on my previous hard drive, I have upgraded to a ssd, and she eats 30gigs all space

    so I have a C: drive with the current installation of windows,

    and an E: drive for programs and others,

    what I tried

    * "takeown /f E:/r" in an elevated command prompt

    but still, I can't delete the folder, it will start to panic

    change permissions to the (not to do the right thing)

    I'm not particularly to wipe the hard disk, because then I have to re - download to almost 500 GB of games steam/origin

    One thing you can do if you can not do the work for something like this in Windows is to download a Linux Live CD and boot from that. When you start in the Live CD, you can delete the folder.

    If you follow this way you won't have to reinstall your right boot OS into something else for a moment.

    Check out Knoppix is one of the most popular Linux Live CD for those starting with Linux and Live CD here is a link to their download page:

    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.

  • Cannot delete the user folder?

    I can't delete the folder \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2 I tried to use regedit, but just ended up with a new \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2.JONESP folder

    This problem occurred when I tried to change the username to my main account I could do successfully by using the mode without fail & regedit
    But in the process, I created a new account I wanted to delete it later
    I went through the normal process via Add or remove user accounts & then click on delete the user account & then remove all files
    But this folder Jack2 remains!

    Then try:

    1. Safe boot mode.
    2. Log in as Jack.
    3. Property to enter the profile folders that bothers you - see here.
    4. Rename the folders unwanted profile by adding the suffix .junk.
    5. Wait a week.
    6. If all goes well, remove the folders of .junk.
  • 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
