Cannot empty completely Time Machine of the items in the Recycle Bin

Because Time Machine doesn't seem to be saved compensation older to make room for the news more I get a message that the disc is full. I tried to put an older Mt recorded in the trash folder. After a long workout he finally dumped all but a bit empty folders (2016-01-02 010502 > Macintosh HD > Applications). Now whenever I try to empty the trash, I get a message that these items are in use.

I tried pressing cmd-Shift while emptying and several different Terminal commands (such as the cd ~ /.) Trash; rm - rf *) without result. It's a minor annoyance, but I would like to get these messages every time that I try to empty the trash.

BTW, this didn't help my problem of Time Machine. It is not yet back up some.

See if point # 12 will help:

  • file $rafsykh in the recycling bin seems to be store empty even when items

    Tonight I used windirstat (http://windirstat.info/) to search for large files that I could remove to make more space on my hard drive and found about 7 GB in the trash, even after it had been emptied. The files are in a folder called $rafsykh and contains music files that were there when I emptied a few days ago. If I go into this folder, I can actually play the files, while they in fact seem to be there.

    What is $rafsykh, why are the files still there and how I remove them? These files are so that they can be restored?

    It seems that your Recycle Bin is corrupted.

    You can remove it using this procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/131294-recycle-bin-corrupted-cannot-delete-file-folder.html

    The Recycle Bin on Vista, it works that the two files are created: Let's start with R$ and the other with I$ followed by a random string. The I$ file contains metadata that and rhe $R file contains the original data. Eventually the $I file has been deleted, but something stopped deleting the $R file.

    -The 1000 at the end of the SID indicates that these files belong to the first account created on the computer. If it is different from the account that you use to display the Recycle Bin you will not see them. A user only sees the content of the trash that they have created.

    2. Yes. Use disk utility to partition the drive, and then make sure that the 500 GB partition is below 1.5 CT one in the list.

  • Time machine removed the external drive without warning

    Hello

    I had an external hard drive with a time Machine to the top of my old macbook pro. Today I plugged my new mackbook pro and TIme Machine asked me if I wanted to use it as a return to the top. I said yes, and the process has begun. Then I saw that he had erased everything I had previously on the external hard drive...

    so I stopped immediately.

    Now, my external hard drive is empty with only a couple of the new backup folders... and everything disappeared. Please help, I have all my work on this hard drive and very important documents.

    Thank you very much!

    Maybe this, I used it when nothing else worked, but nothing is a bet of 100%

    the more you use that drive for now more you'll destroy what could be there so disconnect now!

  • Migration of Time Machine to the new drive, backups are larger than the Original drive

    I am currently migrating my Time Machine backups from a 2 TB WD My Passport for Mac to a new WD 6 to my book for Mac. I have 63 backups on the old disk, and Finder says that the reader has TB filled 1.96.

    However, each individual backup is about 350 GB, which certainly does not. I think normally it was something weird with the Finder listing the wrong sizes, except that when I copy the backups to the new disk, they copy effectively to 350GB a piece. I initially tried to copy everything the ~ 2 TB Backups.backupdb at once, but it was so great, she didn't, then I copy on each both a backup in a folder that I had planned to rename "Backups.backupdb" at the end. At this rate, I will fill new TB cases 6 drive long before copying all backups on.

    How is that possible?

    Just to be complete, I'm using a Macbook Pro of the retina 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 graphics card Intel HD 4000 1536 MB, 512 GB of storage, under OS X 10.11.3.

    Time Machine saves the previous backups for the continuous backup size to become more wider until there is no more space on the backup drive. It is quite normal because Time Machine is an archive backup utility.

  • Folder of documents completely empty after emptying the Recycle Bin. Running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    I uploaded several photos from a third party site yesterday. In this process, I make several files which I then recycle once the download is complete. Because I'm uploading about 6 months worth of photos, I decided it would be best to empty the trash when I finished and did. Today, I went to access a Word document, and ALL my files are missing from the Documents folder - it is completely empty.

  • What does Time Machine to the top of the address book?

    I use OS X El Capitan (10.11.5) and AddressBook application.

    I created a bunch of groups in the address book and must have one accidentally deleted because he disappeared. I use Time Machine and it seems to be compatible with the address book, so I thought I could just go back to an older version, but I can't seem to make it work.

    If I enter Time Machine from the address book application, I see the old backups to return indefinitely. I have chosen one a week ago and restored, but I don't see the old group. In fact, there are always new groups that I just created today.

    So I did not understand what actually have backed up by Time Machine. Is this just backup contact records, but not groups?

    When I restore, it restores the entire database or just a folder that I'm looking?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestion or advice!

  • Using Time Machine or the Migration Assistant to transfer information from and old Mac to a new one

    I had to think about upgrading a Macbook Air to a Macbook Pro and have done research on how pretty much everything (files, account icloud, etc.) to move to a new computer so I know how to do it when the time comes. I didn't save my current computer at the time I got it and didn't know whether it was necessary to do it before the transfer. Also, I found two different ways to move information from one mac to another, one way being using the migration wizard, the other via the time machine. The problem is that I've never used time machine (I checked my settings and it is turned off). I was curious to know which option would be the 'best' way and if not never back up my computer would be a problem. (If its possible, could someone also please explain how to back up my computer?)

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward I hope to get a reply soon!

    I use Time Machine often (and have used since its introduction).  I also upgraded my Mac hardware quite often (about every 18 months).  Whenever I move to a new machine, I use the Migration Wizard (and not Time Machine).  I've never had a problem.

    Then I suggest that you need not Time machine specifically in order to change computers.  However, you really need to keep backups simply because the material is not, and without a backup, you are subject to lose everything you have on your computer.

  • Some accounts have the Recycle Bin instead of the trash icon. Cannot run 'Empty trash' on the record, only on an icon to the trash.

    I have four accounts open TB: mine, woman, club and spam. Only mine and spam account display the Recycle Bin icon. The other two accounts have a folder named "Trash". Deleted files go in the Trash files, is similarly in the trash icon files. However, there is a single action, I can perform on files from the Recycle Bin. When right clicking on folders, "empty trash" is not available as an option. The function is available only on folders with the Recycle Bin icon.
    Is there a way to get the appropriate folder to the trash with function 'empty trash' in all accounts?

    OK - I messed around with the settings more and came across a solution.
    1 right-click on the account name in the left pane, and then select settings.
    2. Select Server settings
    3. in the central block under deletion actions, select Advanced
    4. uncheck the "show only subscribed folders", and then click OK
    5. click OK in the parameters, and then collapse the account name in the left pane so not subfolders appear.
    6 expand the name of the account. This is - the trash is now a garbage can with the function of "empty trash".
    7. If desired, return to the advanced settings and re - select "show only subscribed folders" and click OK

    Don't ask me why this works. It's a total coincidence that I even found it.

    Can I retrieve a deleted document after emptying the Recycle Bin?

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if it still doesn't work the chances of recovery are very slim, but we invite you to try the other options to see if they work better)

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Cannot delete files from the Recycle Bin

    Hello

    I'm unable to access my trash, everythime I click on the folder, it says windows Explorer has a problem, then said restarting windows.

    And the window just closes, it is there anyway to delete the files from the trash bin other than to go to the folder it self.

    See you soon

    Here is an article on how to repair a trash corrupted in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/131294-recycle-bin-corrupted-cannot-delete-file-folder.html.

    It restarts if you left or do a right-click on the icon or both?  Here are a few ways to empty it by using two methods:

    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.

    Here is a program that you download that adds a command to empty the trash to the command line if all that you need to do is type of the command in the box search now and it will happen. http://itsvista.com/2007/01/itsvista-tip-23-empty-vistas-recycle-bin-from-the-command-line/.

  • Recycle bin icon disappears after emptying the Recycle Bin.

    When I emptied the trash, the trash disappears from my office. The 'Recycle Bin' words are still displayed on the desktop, and when I put the cursor on the location where the icon is supposed to be, the area still "hilights" as if the tray was still there.

    I do not use a custom icon. I use the default icon of bin recycle.

    I use Windows 7 Professional.

    When I restart the computer the trash comes back. I may be able to empty the trash several times before disappearing again, but eventually (usually within the first 5 times empty the trash), it disappears again.

    I realize that this isn't a huge problem, but it's more than a little embarrassing. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to delete items in the Recycle Bin on their own after 90 days?

    Original title: definition of a horizon of "age-out" (time) for the items in the Recycle Bin of Windows 7.

    I want Windows 7 Recycle Bin items be aged (to delete) once they have been there for, say, 90 days. This would result in a moving window (horizon, time) on when the items from the trash would be available for restoration. It seems a local security policy or object should be available to achieve this.

    Windows does not support such a function.
