• Cannot delete backup

  1.9 GB to 5 GB of my iCloud space is taken up with "backups". I followed the procedures of various threads to try to delete all backups successfully. I'll give you two examples that follow, and would be grateful if someone can give me a lead. I disabled everything that I can think of that could be written to iCloud backups.

  On iMac in Preferences > iCloud, the bar at the bottom of the screen says I have 5 GB of storage iCloud and almost all the storage I use is yellow color coded and said "Backup." When I click on the button "Manage" it shws on the left I have "backups 1.9 GB" and "Mail 5.1 MB. Aside from that there is nothing else under Storage manage. When I click on the "Backup" item on the left, on the right panel shows NOTHING. There is no backup to select and delete. Remove the button is grayed out.

  On the iPhone > settings > iCloud > storage, it is said:

  5.0 GB total storage

  3 1 GB available

  and when I click on the option "Manage storage" (iPhone > settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage), it mentions that a single element which is Mail 5.1 MB. There is nothing else that are listed.

  Backup is disabled on my iPhone and iPad (settings > iCloud > Backup). On the desktop, I see not the backup to delete, as explained above.

  I disabled player icloud, photo stream, etc.

  Any ideas how I can clear this off backup my iCloud account?

• Cannot delete backup of drive C through Classics (or all) methods.

  During a recent backup on an external hard drive, Windows backup made 2 backups at the same time, apparently - one for my outside and the other (for reasons unknown) on my C drive. It took almost all of my C drive and now save (manage the backups/space) will not change in the C drive, because there is not enough available space. And I can't delete the backup of the file Explorer, either. Any suggestions?

  Windows 7 pro 64-bit.

  16 GB of ram

  Core i7 processor

  2 hard drives of 1 TB

  Hi AG. I'm just getting back to this.

  Before proceeding, I would like to assure you of something. The big issue I talk on my C drive, which appeared when I saved on an external one that is named "System Volume Information".

  I supported once again today and there is a file on my external drive called the same thing, AND the file with this name on my C drive now has the current date. Thus, a duplicate must have been done again, or the folder has been updated, or something.

  So, I really don't think that delete this folder in my C drive will make a good long term, except for release temporarily a lot of valuable space. But I learned to understand why windows backup does.

  (After) I'm saying this out, can you tell me what you do for backups? I'm guessing that you have found a much better method.

  Once again, thank you for your help!

  Delete "System Volume Information" and similar such as "recovery" should * not * be removed, removal will result in corrupted file system!

  If you have multiple user accounts you must empty the Recycle Bin for each user through normal means, and not by the appropriation of any kind. (it is the newspaper account and empty basket and run Disk Cleanup, as explained below)

  do the same for each partition and hard disk (plug in external HARD disk while disabling the Recycle Bin)

  The best method to backup your personal data is to use at least 1 external HARD drive or USB key.

  Online storage is also good but only for non-confidential data.

  Do not encrypt your external storage, sooner or later you're going to block your stuff and there is no way to go in this case.

  Backup system is good for the system recovery (backup of the system files * only * ) and they do not take too much space.

  You can reduce or configure this space in:

  Configuration\systeme control and Security\System

  Advanced system settings

  The system protection tab

  Configure button

  And

  System Restore button

  Once you set up above do a cleaning disc for each user account.

  Control of configuration\systeme and Security\Administrative tools > disk cleanup

  I lost a lot of data during the backup on laptops (portable computers die or get stolen sooner or later)

  I lost data while trying to encrypt the stuff (you lose your decryption key sooner or later)

  I lost data using a single external storage (hard drives die to the wire or getting hit by corrosion)

  I lost data while performing backups on CD/DVD (CD/DVD backup s * uks)

  Keep confidential things on HDD/USB EXTERNAL, stuff on the external storage cannot be 'hacked' as another pluged in storage devices.

  don't use programs of any kind to transfer data to external storage, use the copy and paste * manually *.

  So currently, I use 1 drive external HARD, key 2 USB and 1 card SD + online storage.

  No more problem.

  Hope that helps :)

• Rescue and recovery cannot delete backups

  Hello

  I have problem delete old backups with Rescue and Recovery - always when I try to delete them, it seems to work, but it is not, it never ends... I tried to remove one of all backups, only the last or only the oldest or all of them together, but without effect. I have 6 backups about 45 GB together. And by the way that r & R does not well at all - also when I click on optimize backup storage space, it does not work...

  Eventually, it is normal that when deleting old backups, computer seems cold and it takes a long time, but I don't know if it never ends.

  I have the latest version of Windows XP Pro SP3, R & R 4.21.0016 R61.

  Is there a solution?

  Thank you very much!

  V.K.

  Uninstall rescue and recovery of add/remove programs. It will remove the backups in this way.

I tried several times and also with the previous backups of the same phone as well as with the same result.

• Disable backups iCloud will delete old backups and free storage?

  I need to keep my current backup in iCloud for awhile (maybe a month, maybe more, until I have find a way to download it somehow) and I'm afraid that my phone re-writing it one night if I forget and leave it with wifi at a charge.

  Can someone check and to confirm disabling backups iCloud keeps intact old backups so I have access to them in the future.

  Deactivation of the iCloud backups will prevent only future backups to take place. To delete older backups, you must remove them manually.

• Cannot delete the Time Machine backups

  I have a MacBook Air and a 128 GB USB key that holds my library of photos, so I always make backups. My system - and I have recently made account how flawed it was - was to create backups on a 500 GB HARD drive, but to transfer them to a 2 TB HARD drive when it is full. So, I finally discovered that when I transfer backups in small quantities to the 2 TB, it takes more space because instead of aliases of files used to represent more recent backups, care of file just copied over and over again. For this reason, I put my 2 TB as a feature of time machine and imported all the old backups in the folder backups.db, that my Mac 'cleaned' and registered 135 GB. But 135 GB is not enough, I went and delete backups that I don't have anymore. When I looked in the trash to empty, I've seen 2 things: backups I have trashed and others who are pale sort out. I can't open the files, even if I right click and select "open in a new tab. When I try to "immediately remove" these paled-out files, I always get a message that they are "on duty." It is about 300 GB, so I must get rid of him. But it does not stop there, because when I try to "delete immediately" backups I had trashed myself, I get an error message! It is a total of about 600 GB, what I absolutely need to get rid of! If anyone has some tips, it will be greatly appeciated.

  You have probably sprayed your Time Machine backup database. The best thing to do is erase the disc with Airport utility. Then start again with a new backup.

  Good day.

• Ghost files - cannot delete Trash: error 50

  Hello

  I have trouble to delete some files from Ghost that appeared in my garbage can:

  

  By emptying the Recycle Bin, 50 pops up an error: "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."

  I looked at lots of different topics already, nothing works. I place them in a folder and because of the different actions on the file (because the files always come with an error (cannot rename (focus error), too long to be moved, etc. file name)):

  I have so far:

  • Tried to delete the files with
    • iTrash
    • DaisyDisk
  • Repaired "Macintosh HD" with my account disk utility.
  • Fixed "Macintosh HD" using disk utility from the recovery partition (Cmd - R to start)
  • Check the file permissions in the file properties
  • Because disk utility is not the "Fix permissions" button (in El Capitan), I fixed the permissions with DiskWarrior.
  • Tried to move the file to a disk and then format the drive, but OS X Copy the folder instead of moving.
  • By using all the methods of the command prompt, I found on other messages of the forum (I don't want to navigate through my history to list them).

  Yet the 50 error is still popping! Currently the thought of another workaround solution...

  I know that the following would allow to settle, but I'd rather not have to do:

  • Reinstall from backup Time Machine prior
  • Create a new account and delete my old account.

  Someone at - it a technique to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  James

  OK, I found a nice workaround with iCloud drive and an iOS device.

  Here's what I did:

  1. Move the folder containing Ghost files to my iCloud Drive in the Finder and wait 30 seconds to display in the player to iCloud on my iOS device application 9.
  2. Remove my iCloud drive to iCloud preferences window in Mac system preferences
  3. Delete the iCloud drive folder using the iOS app
  4. Reconnect to iCloud Drive on my Mac.

  Good riddance!

• The Mac cannot connect to iCloud

  I get a message, the Mac cannot connect to iCloud due to a problem with *.  This is my Apple ID, and I cannot go into Apple.  This happened after I had the mini for Mac guys and the guy deleted stuff in the keychain.  This message constantly comes back again and again even after I said 'later '.  In addition, since I had the machine for the MacGuys, a "Facebook password required" notice appears again and again.  As soon as I selected 'close', he is back in a few seconds.  I can use Facebook very well.  How can I get rid of these popups?

  < personal information deleted, re-titled by host >

  First of all try to access to the keychain via Finder > Applications > utilities > Keychain Aces and connection and re-enter the passwords for problem applications.

  If this does not work, you will need to reset the keychain and re-enter all the password.

• The Mac cannot connect to iCloud extremely disturbing and annoying pop up

  I get this pop up and I can't fix it:

  The Mac cannot connect to iCloud due to a problem with "myappleid".

  Preferences iCloud open on this issue.

  Two buttons - Later and iCloud preferences...

  If I click later, he reappeared in the minute, sometimes a second later. It is a big problem because the functionality of the command does not work. He also grabs focus, no matter what I do - I watch full-screen movies, writing in a web form, play games, out of a keynote with a client presentation. Very, very frustrating. Not the kind of behavior I've seen in Windows 2000

  If I click on iCloud preferences I receive a request to enter my Apple ID password in the Panel of the iCloud system. I have enter my password and get an error not found Keychain with the message box:

  Impossible to find a keychain to store "281711789."

  Two buttons - Cancel and reset to the default values

  If I click Cancel the previous password box returns "an unknown error has occurred." The problem goes away, but I have the original pop up within minutes.

  If I click on Reset to Defaults, I get a very scary message:

  Are you sure you want to reset your

  Keychain? This will delete all your saved

  Passwords, keys and certificates. You

  It is not possible to undo this operation.

  
  

  Two buttons - Undo and Redo

  
  

  Cancel takes me to the first problem, regular and extremely annoying and disruptive noise upwards.

  
  

  Reset is not an option! I have an ecosystem whole apple, phone, office, laptop and iPad. I need to fix my keychain but don't know what's wrong with it or how to fix it. I can open Keychain Access. I don't know if it is possible to save a set of keys and to reimport?

  Any help, especially a working solution, greatly appreciated.
