Cannot delete or read a file when its position is changed

Original title: delete error

When I change the location of the file, the album in windows media Player library cannot be removed or be played. How can I change the new path for the files in the library? How can I remove them (there is no reaction when I right-click and then choose delete)? Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Kyle,.

This problem occurs because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

(a) output Windows Media Player.

(b) click Start, all programs->Accessories->run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

(c), select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

(d) restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

(a) output Windows Media Player.

(b) click Start, all programs->Accessories->run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

(c) select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

(d) restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

Please post back with the State of the question.

    When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

    Hi John, at the time wherever I read your answer, the problem file had multiplied Qty 5 due to my fumbling. I downloaded unlocker and was successfully deleted 2 of 5 files. The other three are as before. After you configure the Recycle Bin to delete files directly, the msg passes "Destination folder access denied" to "the action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

    Hours to experiment with deactivating or disabling programs such as media player and media center etc and try to delete the file failed. In the process, I have managed to lose the bar at the top of the desktop computer that contains shortcuts to email, WMP, WMC, basket etc. Even a few hours, trying to figure out how to restore the tool bar and failing completely - if it wasn't a completely new computer, I now seek ways to go back to XP.

  • Cannot delete or rename a file Word via Windows Explorer

    Windows 7 - Word 2007. Modification of a file .doc (compatibility mode) where the word went into a loop where it ignored all the entries. I waited for half an hour and finally had to stop the word with the Task Manager. The file that was opened at the time cannot be deleted or renamed. Same results when the system is booted in safe mode. Message is "the action cannot be completed because the file is opened in Microsoft Office Word. Word is NOT open at this stage. Result even after a reboot and no further action other than the attempt to delete the same message.

    If the file is opened in Word and immediately closed with no action of any kind, always the same result, cannot delete the file and the same message is given.

    Surprisingly, the file can be copied but try to remove the copy gets the same message.

    How can I delete the file?

    Hello, Azam, thank you for your interest for my problem

    Re: Virus Scan - I use AVG and ran the scan with no problems found

    Re: Safe Mode, see my original post. I tried without success

    However... I found a way to remove the file. The BACK DEL cmd line feature deletes the file. We have to be careful and make sure that absolutely nothing reference file. The first time I tried to delete the file that I had Windows Explorer open and the file was clicked and the first page was displayed in the preview window and the DEL command failed, noting that the file is open in another application.

    When I closed the window of the Explorer and retried the DEL command, it worked!

    Unfortunately it took me almost two days to think about trying the DOS command line utility. I won't forget her now.

    Thanks for responding.

    You ask if I have problems and I still have another major unresolved problem. It is, however, deliver a MS Word. If this isn't your cup of tea, perhaps you can point one word on it gurus.

    I posted this a few days ago on the Office Online site in the area of the floor. There has been no response...

    Here is a copy of the message:

    -------------------------------------------

    Word 2007 and Windows 7.

    I have a file called v1.doc who was already involved in a situation where while I just changed that word went into a loop, and after waiting half an hour, I had to terminate Word by using the Task Manager.

    When I reopened it v1.doc Word seems to have recovered the file correctly, but at the top of the window where the name of the file is indicated, there is now the "(Read-Only) text '."

    When I try to save the file Word tells me that as the current file is read-only, I must give the file a new nane what I do: v2.doc and speech issues.

    When I opened v2.doc I expected the read-only attribute is missing since the new name has been provided. However, v2.doc file has the same note "read-only" at the top.

    Record (using Save as) as v3.doc v2.doc continues the same process.

    I can't get rid of the read-only attribute and therefore every change requires a new version of the file.

    If we check the file properties in Windows Explorer the read attribute alone is NOT defined.

    ---------------------------------
    I could not remove these files are older versions v1.doc, etc that I note above

    Any solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.

  • Cannot delete/rename/move a file of Windows with a special character

    Not so long ago, I used a portable hard drive to pass data between my PC and my MacBook (Running OS X 10.11.1).)

    Unfortunately, I was stupid to create an alias of my portable hard drive on the desktop of my Mac by chance, just after my hard drive mounting.

    The issue is that I can't even delete/rename/move it. Restart the system does not work, and commands (sudo rm/mv...) since the Terminal does not work either.

    When I tried to delete/move the alias file, I got what is like that, "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."

    And when you try to rename it with the name of the file 'a', I got what is, "try using a name with fewer characters, or no punctuation.". "

    I think that this probably has to do with the name of the hard disk, which has a weird character "NULL", a character. This character is possibly legal in Windows, but illegal in OS X? Or maybe there are some differences between Windows and Mac, interpreting a file name?

    Any help, thanks!

    I would like to try the list to see what is happening one:

    # display the characters hidden in the form of numbers

    LS - lb

    # If you have a lot of files in the directory

    LS - lb | more

    LS - lB

    I assumed that you released the flash player.

    usually, you can type a few characters and then press tap to get the rest of the printed characters.
