  Hello

  iCloud storage said I'm using 3.71 GB as "Backup" (yellow bar), but I did not all backups (see the screenshot).  I have disabled all backups, delete photos, basically everything but it is always showing 3.71 GB is used and I have no way of knowing what is 'saved' or how to remove anything.

  How can I remove this "backup data" and recover the storage space?

  Thank you, Mark

• 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 files on Hdr-As100v through TDC

  With PlayMemories Mobile or PlayMemories host files on the Sony Cam can be deleted. All drives (partitions) are mounted read-only when Sony Cam is connected to your PC.

  However, you can remove the SD of the cam and mount/connect card with an SD adapter directly and delete individual files, and also update the AGPS data in even - as this can also be changed only when it is mounted without the cam.

  Sony recommends formatting the SD card after you import your videos and photos with PlayMemories House to clean any excess files such as metadata or exif of previous videos and photos allowing you to maximize the storage capacity of the SD card. [1]

  Formatting your SD card on your PC allows the format to exFAT - where to format the SD card on your Sony Cam perform only in format FAT32.

  After each format SD card, transfer of information AGPS on the SD card. What Sony Cam connected to the PC directly on the SD card is read-only. Follow the steps below:

  • Remove the cam Sony SD card
  • Connect the SD card directly to your PC
  • Launch PlayMemories Home on Windows or Mac OS X
  • Select Tools > tools for Support of GPS
  • Select the drive letter that corresponds to your Sony Action Cam and press the update now.

• 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!

  1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (seehttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

• 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.

  Hello

  The CD/DVD drive does work otherwise? You can read and burn discs? CD and
  DVD?

  =============================================================

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
