• Cannot remove sunbelt software program Files.It is deleted from the registry and ADD and remove the windows xp program

  Windows xp sp 3 home

  I tried everything to fix this. Even Microsoft Fix It can not remove this file. In Program Files, I right-click a message and Sunbelt Software (SBAMSvc.exe - VIPRE antivirus) wrote:

  Cannot delete: the directory is not empty.

  When I removed my PC Vipre I fallow the steps of the company. It is a business that needs to protect us, but for greed, it becomes a VIRUS.

  Hello

  I suggest you to download Microsoft Safety Scanner, scan your computer for viruses and malware then check how it works.

  You can download Microsoft Safety Scanner from the link "scan to Microsoft Security.

• Cannot remove the Canon CR2 file (xp)

  I'm not "allowed" to delete files Canon Camera Raw (CR2) on my computer, even though I am the only user and I am officially the 'administrator', always, somehow I have not sufficient permissions!

  I have windows xp, files are downloaded through the utility supplied with my 5 d Canon.  They are saved in a folder on an external hard drive, which is now complete.  These files are HUGE, and I have many, many concerts to empty.

  The official error from the Explorer, tells me that I can't delete because the file is 'used by another person or program ".  Not true.  I'm the only one here.

  I restart, open the Explorer ONLY and still cannot delete.

  I also tried to remove thanks to Adobe Bridge, this error message says that I don't have "sufficient" to remove.

  I checked the properties of folders, they are not locked or read-only.

  (Not only can I not delete it, but I can't move or change the name of the file.)
  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

• Cannot remove a zero byte file

  Sometimes, when I download the torrent data a new folder are created(ex:-0f09aee8590e20ae90ad0d46f157e328) which contains an exe and a few other files of 0 bytes.

  When I try to delete... I can't not.

  What should I do?

  Try to use Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml which is sometimes able to delete the files and folders that cannot be deleted using the normal Vista removal feature.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot remove tags of multiple files

  I can't believe I can't get this to work.

  I have 15 images with the same 10 tags in each file. One of the keywords is 'banana' and I want to remove all files of 15.

  I select all the files of 15. When I do that it becomes 'active' (he gets a lighter than the other 14 images grey highlight).

  I then go in the Keywording Panel and manually remove "banana" in the list.

  When I look through files to see the change all but one that was active STILL has the word "banana" applied.

  I also tried selecting the 15 files and the file without the keyword active banana does and run "Synchronization metadata" and removed "banana" the "Keywords" field in the dialog box. Same thing is happening. No change to the files that are not active.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thanks in advance,

  Unicorn

  Simple. Don't take pictures of bananas!

  In fact, I think that you must select photos in the grid, and not in the film. Remove keywords should work as expected, and then when you try to remove the keyword, the keyword will be removed from all the selected photos.

• Is it safe to delete the log file in/private/var/log/vnetlib?

  [Fusion 4.1.2 / Lion 10.7.4]

  My vnetlib log file is greater than 22 MB in size and has > K 250 lines of entries dating back to September 2011. Is it safe to delete this log file? A planning at startup, remove the file and then do a restart immediately after to restart VMWare network components - and we hope to recreate a new empty file. I tried erasing the contents of the file via the Terminal but do not have sufficient permissions, even with sudo - guess it was because the VMWare networking processes running at the time.

  Thank you

  John

  If you do not experience network problems, then it is safe to delete.

  I had no problem to remove in a Terminal (while VMware Fusion is running) by using the following command in (although I would recommend VMware Fusion of closing first and it doesn't have to be done in safe mode).

  sudo rm -f /var/log/vnetlib
  

  Just curious, what the big problem is why you want to delete, 22 MB is not that big a deal.

• Try to remove a CD image file, get the error message "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

  I am trying to remove a file from CD image (.img) of my office

  When I try to put it in the bin I get the message

  "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program close the file, and then try again"

  First, I checked the obvious things like if the .img file was mounted in a virtual drive - it isn't so I then used LockHunter to find which application is using the file so I can close by the Task Manager.

  Unfortunately LockHunter told me that the file is used by 'System' - which cannot be closed through the TM.

  Any help?

  The problem is that the program that allows you to mount the image always uses the image.  In my case I used the magical disc. Go to the start menu find the magic disk or folder folder, there should be an option to uninstall the magic disc. I tried UN-installing conrtol add and remove programs but it wouldn't let me. You can also click on computer in Start menu and see if the file you want to remove is always mounted (appears as a CD image). In this case that you can click the eject disc hit.

  Hi Unpreghini,

  1. What is the problem you are having with playlists?

  Start the computer in safe mode and then try to recreate the database of Windows Media Player. To do this, try this step.
  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode
  a. see start your computer in safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
  b. connection to the problem user account.

  Step 2: Rebuild the media player database
  a. Click Start, type run, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
  b. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
  c. restart Windows Media Player.
  d. check if the problem persists.

  Note: Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.

• Windows 7, cannot remove the burn files after back to the top

  I have a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. A year ago I started a return upwards to put on a disc. The backup failed at the time because I ran out of records to put on (had no idea that it would take as much!).

  Since then I tried to delete these temporary burn files from the F drive, but every time I click on the option, it breaks down and wrote files are used by another program. I went through and individually deleted most of them, but I still have a few huge to get the judgment and cannot remove the program (86), or on the desktop to the top, mean that they are used by another program.

  I burned a CD of all these left during the backup of files and that worked, but the files are still sitting in my drive F, I still can't delete the temporary versions... its taking a lot of space and I got the bsod a couple of times.

  I also tried folder in the start menu and delete the temporary files in this way, but it did not result in the F drive.

  I tried to rename the temporary files so that I could remove them too, but not to chance it.

  I have disc clean up all the time, this doesn't always help with the F drive.

  Your opinion would be appreciated!

  See you soon

• All the pdf I downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared" and I can open and view, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a messge saying my trial has expired and he wants me to have

  All of the pdf files I've downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared."  I can open and view them, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a message saying my trial has expired and he wants me to buy which I can't do because I don't have a serial number to put in. What happened to the "free" Adobe Reader I thought I had?  How can I get these PDF files to become mobile?

  You (or someone) downloaded the free demo of Acrobat Pro, a little more than a month. If you use this software $20 / free months instead of drive for a month. If you don't want to buy it, now you must uninstall it and go back to the use of Acrobat Reader.

  -rw - 1 root root 133711265792 Jul 31 13:55 2010-10A - s001.vmdk

  I tried a rm without success:

  The virtual machine is more listed in VCentre (I tried to delete data store manager), I believe that files can be locked for a reason, but I don't know enough to determine whether it is safe to kill the s pid which seem to use the folder:

  [MS root@ESX1 server demo disk] # lsof | grep 'Disc of demo of MS Server'
  disc of demo server lsof 1317 root cwd DIR 0,18 560/vmfs/volumes/4fb703b6-bb64840f-e817-02215eccbdbb/MS 21592

  No results appear if I lsof files themselves.

  I can kill these processes? I have not the option to restart the server.

  I've also seen mention of restart /sbin/servicesservices. SH , but I'm hesitant because I don't know what this will do - how does affect other virtual machines running?

  You can restart the services... There will be no impact to the VMS running... also try to restart VMware vCenter services (services.msc)

  If the above does not work, then restart the host seems to be the fastest and the most secure option.
