  1. On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin.
  2. Then click the Empty trash to empty its contents.
  3. You will be asked if you are sure that before it permanently deletes the files.
  4. If you're absolutely sure, then click Yes to clear the contents of the Recycle Bin.
  5. Alternatively, you can double-click the Recycle Bin to open and examine its contents.
  6. And then on the file menu, click empty the Recycle Bin.
  7. After confirmation, Windows Vista will be empty all files from the Recycle Bin.

  Go to control panel / customization / Desktop Icons and remove the trash, click OK and close.  Then go back and add the trash.  See if the new basket has the same problem.

• Cannot delete files windows Messaging.

  I have a laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. In the program files (x 86) files and the file of the folder for windows mail program. It seems that these records are just a waste of hard drive space after searching the net, Windows mail is not supposed to be bundled with windows 7. Windows mail is not in the start menu. It is not in the menu programs and features so I can't uninstall it. I can't launch the programs manually because they have an extension .mui on the edge of the name of the file, so it's a total waste of hard drive space. Problem is that I can't do anything with the files. When I try to remove the .mui winmail.exe.mui I get an error message "You need permission from trustedinstaller to make changes to this file" when I try to delete the folders I get the same error message. What the * is trusted Installer? Can someone tell me please how to get permission from trustedinstaller to remove these folders? They are of no use to me. Of course a bit of * left the system by acer.

  For anyone still interested to remove these files, there are several steps missing.

  On my installation, I need both to take ownership and change permissions for each file and folder before I could remove them.

  1. in Windows Explorer, select Tools-> Folder Options-> view tab-> uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)".
  2. right click on each file or folder and select Properties-> Security tab
  3. click on advanced-> owner tab
  4. click on edit-> UAC prompt approval
  5. Select your user profile and click OK to take ownership
  6. This will return you to the Security tab-> select Edit to modify permissions
  7. Select your user name and fill in the box to allow full control
  8 OK-> OK

  Now that you have taken possession and you have full control, you will be allowed to delete files.

  I'm surprised that it take so much effort to give me permission to delete a single record, but at least it would be embarrassing for a hacker, too.

• Cannot delete files and music always there but not display upward when I connect to the computer?

  Hi all

  Recently, I had a lot of problems with the music does not or don't play not I decided to delete all my e260 music and start again.  That's where the real problem started.

  For some reason I can't delete three of the albums on my player.  Each of the albums have what appear to be corrupted in them files. My computer does not recognize the file type and file extension is given so I don't know what they are.  Each file "appears" to 4 GB in size but that may not be appropriate for my e260 is obviously only 4 GB in size!

  Whenever I try to delete them I get an error message reading "cannot delete file: cannot read the source file or disc»

  I tried to update the firmware, reset e260 to factory default settings and made 'restore' thingy (where you hold registration and plug it into the computer, etc.) and these files are still there.

  After reading this thing of disk checking on this forum, I did this.  I was then able to remove two of the albums, but when I tried to delete the third album renamed 'a' and the damaged file shows 0 bytes in size, but I still can not remove.  However, I can move it to the folder music to any other folder.  I just can not remove!  When I do, I get an error message saying "cannot delete f: cannot find the file specified. '.  Be sure to only specify the path and the correct name.

  After all that I started my e260, and now I find that 2 other albums are always on it, even if they do not display any where when I connect it to the computer.  I can see and read these albums on the drive, and they seem well, they do not appear to be there when I plug it into the computer and look for them in windows Explorer.  The music folder is not hidden also.  These two albums are not part 3 albums that I could not remove, they are actually part of the new substance started sort of all these problems with the music does not and is not only now that they are the display upwards and play but are not appear when connected to the computer!

  I know it's probably not a lot of information but can someone tell me how to fix this?  If not, can I just format the * bleep * thing or I'll then have an e260 dead?

  See you soon,.

  PS: Sorry for the long windedness of this post.

  Format will not remove the firmware, which is the operating system of the Sansa. It removes only the content that you have added. It will go back to what it was when it was new out of the box.

  MTP does not matter if you have never used it. The ghost album can be just a list remains in your database file. Nevertheless, we must get rid of this corrupt file, so Format is probably your best option.

  For what it's worth, to connect with the PSG, your computer needs Windows Media Player 10 or 11 is installed. XP comes with WMP 9, so he will not see the Sansa in MTP mode. unless you have updated.

• Cannot delete files .ai

  I can't delete .ai files in Adobe Illustrator v.10 running on Vista.

  error that says "... cannot delete file is used beginning."

  I tried everything the web has to offer including: start-up, different removal software, changing aiicon.dll, shit, chsdsk, etc.

  I sure there are a lot of people who have this problem, I scan the web, however, no solution have seems to be found.

  Help, please!

  I had this problem frequently both. HAVE and. Files EPS on Windows XP, different versions of Illustrator, including 7 and 10. You can try this program:

  http://cleansofts.org/unlocker.html

  It runs quietly in the background until there is a sharing violation (for example, you can not delete a file, etc.). Then it pops up a window showing what process has the file locked. With Illustrator files, the culprit is usually Windows Explorer... my guess is that it tries to generate a thumbnail preview, but somehow never quite finished and leave the open file. You will be able to kill the offending process (which is kind of how dirty to do things, but drastic times... you know). Then you should be able to delete the files without problem.

• Windows 7 tells me I need permission from remove me a file

  I'm trying to remove the Program Files folder and the Windows folder from a hard disk which I have not started.  I do this from a Windows 7 machine.  The I'm trying to delete files come from the hdd to boot a Vista where I want to delete all the folders and copy backup it from a I have before inserting the disc newly restored in the Vista machine.  Win7 denies my request to delete these files.  I took possession of containers under folders and files.  I changed the permissions so that I have total control.  I even changed owner to anyone and has kept everyone full control.  Even after doing all this Win7 still tells me:

  You need permission to perform this action
  You need permission to everyone to make changes to this file
  Program Files
  Creation date: 11/02/2006-11:18

  And gives me the option to retry or cancel

  It is extremely frustrating and probably a huge bug in Windows.  If I try again I get just repeated the same message.

  I am an administrator still this OS will not let me run!

  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I need to keep intact boot sector - everything that I want to do is to copy a backup of my system files on this drive so that I can start my computer Vista again.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Here you mentioned the hard drive and if you think it's the hard drive, then my first suggestion would be to show the hidden files and folders.

  Here's how to display the hidden files and folders.

  a. open the Options folder by clicking on the button start the picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.

  b. click on the view tab.

  c. under Advanced settings, click Show files, folders and drives, and then click OK.

  See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Show-hidden-files

  Now, perform the following steps:

  Step 1:

  Delete files using Disk Cleanup

  Step 2:

  a. click windows orb
  b. type cmd in the search box
  c. right-click on cmd in the results menu and click on run as administrator
  d. command windows opens, must be in the directory c:\windows\system32
  e. go to c:\ do what type cd... until you reach c:\
  f. navigate to the directory where the file to be deleted. example c:\windows.old\users
  g. type rd/s (directory name)
  h. will get quickly delete y/n type y and press enter

  After successful removal, you can check the windows Explorer and see that the file is missing.

  Example, I have a directory on my c drive named windows.old, under windows.old that I have a user directory and then several subdirectories, 1 directory happens to be named bill. For some reason any windows can not find this place and will not delete the folder. I then who follow the previous steps and remove this directory.

• Cannot delete files from sharing

  I have a ReadyNas Duo performer 5.3.11 v2

  I have a folder that I use for saved documents. Now I am unable to delete all the files and folders in this directory. I spent in actions and reset the permissions. This has not fixed the problem. I have no user or security on the NAS.

  I noticed that there is a Beta from 2013. That would solve this problem? Or y at - it another way to fix this?

  Short answer: I had to go out for a few hours and now it works. I don't know why it broke, and now I don't know why it started working. I did reset on sharing permissions and restarted the NAS server. Maybe he had to make a pass to reset each queue (?).

  But you're just StephenB, good fishing. HTTP has been activated as a service, but not for sharing.

• How to give permission to my host that they cannot delete files but can create and modify files?

  assuming that I have 5 pc as my host, I want that they cannot delete all files, but can create a file or a folder and can change?

  Any version of Windows supports this type of file access and logging.  You may be able to find a third-party program that can but I highly doubt it.
