• Deleting the file Windows 7 games

  Greetings;

  For my part, a great multitude, would be hale anyone who can devise a way to PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE FILE from any WINDOWS 7 MORE GAMES.

  I have a NETBOOK computer and covet the rather limited memory storage. I know for a fact that there are many others like me in my college

  who are trying their best to ELIMINATE THE GAMES FOLDER.

  It's almost become a scenerio over GREAT RACE. I really believe that if MICROSOFT wanted to perform a PUBLIC RELATIONS BIG ACT that

  It would create and offer a GAMES WINDOWS 7 FILE UPDATE that would allow the removal of the FILE GAMES only.

  Why not trust your customers to make a simple decision to NOT HAVE a file as banal and unimportant as the GAMES FILE under WINDOWS 7?

• Cannot delete the file. Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

  When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

  I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

  Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

  What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

  ex file problem: word.doc

  new file: word.doc

  as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.

• FILE cannot BE DELETED, the file size of the file type 'file' "0 bytes"

  I downloaded a music file of myfreemp3.eu, he wasn't .mp3.  He was able to play a couple of times, but now does not open.  Now, I can't move or delete it from the downloads folder, system do not see.  its properties are of TYPE 'file' and SIZE '0 bytes. "  Error message is "unable to find this article. It is no longer in xxx, etc.

  I tried many suggestions to remove it without success.

  I have Vista 2007 service pack 2.  I tried in safe mode, tried to move to another folder, tried to run without windows, search, folder to never display thumbnails, tried Mandrake Move, but it was outdated, orders back cmd has tried to delete. Also tried to delete with disabled explorer.exe.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you Ganesh and Hetti.  I just finally deleted my ghost file.  I used the safe mode and cmd.

  I went into the directory of downloads in the BACK, the used command DIR / X to find out the name of the file.

  He was ~ 1 at the end of the file name.   I used DEL filename ~ 1 and the file disappeared.  I checked the

  trash and he wasn't there either.  I rebooted the computer and found no trace of the file.

  The controls were as follows,

  CD C:\users\my name\downloads

  dir / x (to find the full file name,)

  del (to remove the file)

  I could probably use alternative command

  del *. *.

  Thank you again and maybe it helps someone else.  I ran the control with the repair disc, but that did not remove the ghost file.  I could also not delete the downloads folder.  Create the same named file with 0 bytes not working anymore.  I tried the latest version of Mandrake then.

• Cannot delete the file because the file is in use

  So when I'm in a file Explorer window and I want to delete a PDF (for example) I have a "File in use" message.
  I realized that this is caused by the preview pane. No pane preview any message and deletes the file.
  I want to know how I can remove a file with the active preview pane because I want to check the contents to make sure it's the right file, I want to delete?

  Hi Guys - I was reading just return and am surprised that this problem has been dates back to February 2013 with no solutions being provided by MS - it's a real shame to MS support staff and a shame to have a support system that is unable to provide support.

  the solution is use shift + delete which gives you an option to permanently delete, so no need to cut an excerpt or find new no programs etc. installed. Just a SIMPLE SOLUTION.

• Error Msg: cannot open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk.

  The hard drive on my iMac crashed while my virtual machine is running.  When I try to open the virtual machine 'suspended', I get the following error message: could not open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk"; The system cannot find the specified file.  This file is listed in the contents of the packaging of the XP machine, but it notes the date, the iMac has crashed, which is the last day of work of the virtual machine.  I have read through discussions and tried a few things from the knowledge base, but I can't go past the error msg for the virtual machine to run.  Any suggestions?

  After selecting OK, I then received the second attached message, "Current Message.png", which reads... "your virtual machine has not returned because of an error.  If you believe that the error is correctable and you want to keep the suspended state, so you can correct the mistake, after that the virtual machine is turned off, select Preserve.  To ignore the waking state, select reject. »

  I didn't do anything since getting this second message because I do not know which to choose.

  In this case I'd throw away them.

  If after following your excellent detailed instructions & explanation (thank you!), here is what happened...

  As the machine has begun to resume in a suspended state, that asked me if I moved or copied and I selected, copied.

  In cases like this (restore a Machine virtual sauvegardΘ) the correct answer to this question is "I moved it" even thought "I copied it" seams more logical, it is not the right answer but with the advent of the second error message, not caused by the answer to the first question, no answer would have mattered.

  (if I can just get my prospects for work with this virtual machine files, your help would be invaluable!)

  This Virtual Machine is always recoverable, however if you are only interested in the recovery of data from the user then after reading the following quit VMware Fusion and try to mount the virtual disk to the Virtual Machine using the information below.

  Take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > Search > type VMDKMounter, and then select use VMDKMounter to mount a virtual drive as a Mac Volume

  Notice, ignore the parts on "to add support for reading / writing to NTFS volumes, you need to install NTFS - 3G separately." as it is not necessary for recovering files within the VM using VMDKMounter, because you only need read access to retrieve data from the user.

  After obtaining your user data disassemble the virtual hard disk on the desktop and then after that you want to retrieve the VM using methods from another just let know us and additional directions can be given.

• Cannot delete the folder windows.old with explore or disk cleanup

  Hello

  I'm trying to remove my windows.old folder in my system disk and I tried following http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder but Disk Cleanup doesn't show "Previous Windows installations" as an option to remove.

  Explorer doesn't let me delete the files either. It keeps prompting by saying that I must have administrative permissions, even if I am logged in as a user who is a member of the Admin group! I tried to take possession of the file with no luck either.

  How can I remove this folder?
