Cannot remove orphaned files

• Cannot remove orphaned snapshots

  One of the servers ESXi 4.1 in my care ran out of disk space today.  This problem has been resolved.  One of the causes is some old shots that take up to 70G (000002,000003,000006 files).  I don't see that they are used.  It seems that the virtual machine has been removed and readded by using the same VMDK. because it's using 2 different directories.  I don't think that this is part of the problem.  The user interface shows no snapshots.

  I tried flushing of invisible snapshots by taking a snapshot and deleting everything in the UI.  Snapshots are still there.  When he creates a snapshot, it uses 000001 and 000004.  The old clichés have not been affected at least 4-5 months, looking at the dates.  I tried to delete them in the user interface, but she came back with an error.

  I watched the vmx file.  He referred 000006 as reader of scsi0:1, but it is not enabled.  SCSI0:0 is the only player.  I thought that if I emptied the 000006 in the vmx file, I might be able to remove it.  So, I created a scsi0:1 disk and then deleted.  000006 is not referenced in the file any more, but it did not help.

  I looked at the latest vmware.log, I don't see reference to files, 2,3,6.

  How can I make sure that they are not used?  And how do I get rid of these files?

  This particular server account local storage, vmotion is not an option.

  I have attached the logs and vmx files.

  Thank you

  Wayne

  If you are sure that the snapshots are no longer needed, but do not want to delete the files immediately, I recommend you properly stop the virtual machine, and then create a new subdirectory in the folder of the VM data store and move the "orphans" files in this folder. Then turn on the virtual machine again, and once you can confirm that everything works as expected, you can delete the subdirectory.

• DW * query - remove orphaned files

  Is it possible to get DW8 to search for orphaned files in a site (IE, PDF files and image files that are no longer tied to any of the pages)? I have a couple of big files on a site that I inherited, and I want to make some fairly significant storage upward.
  
  TIA

  at the level of the site link check under the Site menu.

  Difficulty of broken links, and then change the drop-down menu in the results for "orphaned files" window

  Note-dw only checks the links for the types it understands. links established with js or
  SWF or other methods will show as orphan files even if it is in service.

• Cannot remove security file Carbon Copy Cloner in El Capitan

  OS X on Macbook Pro 10.11.2.  I dragged Net Carbon Copy Cloner file to the trash and tried to empty the trash.  I get a series of error messages indicating that the various files may not be emptied because they are currently in use.  I tried to empty the Recycle Bin by using Terminal Server and freeware, Trash it! but receive the error messages that the action is not allowed.  I've never had such a problem before.  This represents nearly 5 GB of files that I can't remove.  Help, please.

• Cannot remove illustrates file listed in the file Explorer Vista - does not exist?

  I managed to create a zero-byte file "bomadvice11.cycs" from a coded application that appears in the Explorer of files, but when you try to remove it receives the message "unable to find this article. It is not located in... Check the location of the item and try again. Also can not delete it from the command prompt. File is also crashing the synchronization software. Have you tried a check disk to reboot to clear it but no luck. File is not in a folder protected etc.

  SystemsEng,
  Try the following to try to remove the directory that the file is in.  If this does not work, I recommend looking into a third-party file removal tool.

  Open a command prompt
  * Go to the drive where the file undeletable. For example, C:
  * If you are type c:
  * Go to the folder where, in my case it was located in C:\_cache\delete\ folder problem
  * The folder I could not remove called him "happy tree friends" (friend of tree C:\_cache\delete\happy) then I typed:

  C:
  _cache CD
  removal of CD (as you can see I do not open the folder problem itself)
  * Type: dir /x. Directory listing is displayed containing the 8.3 names of folders and files, in my case it showed: happyt ~ 1
  * And then type: rd happyt ~ 1 (replace happyt ~ 1 with the name of the folder see you)
  * The folder is deleted.

• Cannot remove/change files after upgrade to Windows7

  After the upgrade from Vista to Windows7 due download my files to Carbonite. Now, impossible to remove or change anything on these files & had to copy them all to have control.  When I try to change information about the files, I received a "must be an administrator to change the files' - who I am.  Because I had duplicate files it also reproduces the space used and am running out of space.  Help, please.

  Your post raises a number of questions.  What is your hard drive?  How big are your downloads?  You have the download in a folder marked read-only?  Are some of the downloads in read-only or system?  You always have the Vista files in something like Windows.old?  Do you receive messages of UAC?  You have a laptop or desktop?

  On the problem of disk space, you can buy 1 TB disks, for desktop computers inside or outside for $50, and you can buy a 16 GB FlashDrive for less than $20.  You can also do a disk management, since you have two copies of downloaded files and possibly the old Vista files.  With very large hard drives as cheap that they lost, it's pretty easy to solve the problems of disk with a new disk space.

  Good luck.

• Windows 8 recycle bin cannot remove blocked file or restore.

  Computer, only a few days now live have this corrupted video file into recycle bin 800 + MB that I can't move cannot empty the bin or restore this file. If I delete for bin of other files, I can delete those of Recycle Bin or restore.

  I tried windows own ABC file ccleaner and various utilities to vacuum bin but nothing doesn't work - I would delete bin itself and restore windows but can't find it again (XP was easy this new computer with Win 8 not sure Win 7 was OK too)
  Help someone
  And its Windows 8 pre release as forum won't let me put it in Windows 8

  Scott, I had this nightmare. Same Win8 restored to an earlier time without success. Right-click on the Recycle Bin icon. The properties will tell you the size is fixed to to your c: / drive. Take note of this. and set it to 1 MB (there is no place for your file in question). When you see that the tray is clear, again no matter what size it was. Check again. Clear them all to go? Boos! D

• Cannot remove baggage file named 'none '.

  Hello

  I use Adobe Robohelp HTML 8.0.2.208

  I opened my WebHelp project today and noticed that I have a file missing luggage, simply titled 'none '.

  

  When I right click on it, the option delete isn't there.

  

  When I click on properties, all it tells me it is that he is named 'none', and location, size, creation and update are all (unknown). By clicking on the button 'Open file' simply takes me my source folder.

  

  My project has no connection broken of any kind. I checked that my index, table of contents, references, in the world. The project (to the best of my knowledge) is impeccable. I even went a stretch and ensured that all my pages are W3C validated.

  I searched the forums and web trying to find a person with the same or at least similar problem, and I found advice on Add/Remove the baggage files by editing the rhbag.apj file in Notepad or similar editing program.

  Then I opened the file and I see a xml tree base with only two references; one in my RoboHHRE.lng file and the other to this mysterious 'none' folder.

  

  So I deleted lines 9 to 13 and save the file...

  

  And the problem seems to be fixed (temporarily). My project leader updates immediately and file who supposedly never existed has disappeared:

  

  However, there is only missing until I close my project. The next time I open the project (whether to launch from the list of recent in RoboHelp projects or run the source folder .xpj file) file missing baggage is back in my project manager, and when I re - open the

  rhbag. APJ file, the code is for the "nothingness" of the folder:

  <file>

  <name>none</name>

  <usercreated>false</usercreated>

  <comments/>

  </file>

   

  Any other written file the rhbag.apj file is revealing in this file of baggage from the list, so ideally I need go to the source of the problem and find what file is responsible to write the file rhbag.apj and remove the reference here.

  Problem being, RoboHelp generates a large NUMBER of files, many with extensions of file owner or obscure. Opening each one, one at a time, in Notepad and try to find a reference to baggage files (what I spent the last few hours doing many) seems to be hopeless.

  Any help that anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated! As functional as the project may seem, I don't know what (if any) problems/failures this conflict could produce in the future, and I would rather get rid of it now before the webhelp project expands a lot greater.

  Thanks in advance

  UPDATE

  Well, I managed to find the place where the foregoing "data: image / gif" erorr came. I forgot that my css has been using data URLs to list styles for IE10 (if you're curious, see this article).

  It seems that RH8 dislikes the data URL because it seems to confuse the mimetype of a real image file and the location and does not read the base64 binary image representation.

  

  It is only there for IE10 support and because I develop for intranet is not critical, so I surrounded the reference with comment brackets in my css file, resaved my topic, closed HR and just for fun deleted the CPD file again and voila! No error popup more and no more mysterious 'none' file of luggage!

  I need coffee now

  Thanks for the continued support on this problem of Rick, you motivated me to find a solution, soon!

  I tried all your suggestions but not in the same order! The last thing I tried before posting here was to uninstall Captivate and I was still unable to delete the file (or rename). After uninstall AND restart the machine, I was still unable to delete the file, BUT I managed to rename the file (including the extension) and delete the file!

  Thanks for getting back to me. It's a strange!

• It cannot remove the files imported in Media Center in Windows 7 Media Center!

  Today, I created folders Win 7 Media Center of Vista Media Center in the hope of being able to watch some TV recorded in Win 7. Does not work and more than 1000 files and folders cases imported into Vista. I have the ability to delete "existing" files in the Vista Media Center. All imported records do not give me the option to right-click and delete! Help!

  Hi stur2009,

  Method 1: You can delete these folders to be monitored by Windows Media Center. To do this, follow the steps below

  (a) on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, and then click settings.

  (b) select the library configuration.

  (c) select stop watching a folder , and then select Next.

  (d) uncheck the folders you want Windows Media Center to stop watching, and select Next.

  (e) in the next screen, select Finish .

  Method 2: You can manually delete the files imported from the original location on the Windows Vista-based computer.

  You can see the article below, which deals with a similar question

  A multimedia file or its content remains in the media library after you select the option to stop to look at the record in Windows Media Center in Windows Vista

• Cannot remove orphans from hard drive

  Hello

  I reformatted a nas ISCSI box but I forgot that it was connected to one of my servers in Vspheres with a hard drive connected to a virtual server of 2003.

  The 2003 does not start because of the missing disk, and I can not remove the disc error "Invalid Configuration for the device '0'."

  The data store is grayed out in the summary page

  While do - there is no way I can return the drive.

  Thanks in advance

  If the C: disk vmdk still exists, create a new virtual machine and attach this vmdk instead of create a new virtual hard disk.

• Cannot remove orphaned templates of VI 2.5.0 inventory

  I have a few models on one of my esx hosts that, for some reason, is become grayed out in virtual center. Records were removed the vmfs volume (trying to solve the problem since I couldn't do anything with them through the VC) but I can't remove these virtual machines of the inventory. they appear only when you view the server through VC. If I find the server directly using the vi client they do not appear.

  When good click the VM options are grayed out as well.

  This is originally my backups to report failures from his tent of backup of the virtual computer that is no longer that does not exist. And I just want to clean in general (there are five).

  Thank you

  If you are running vmware-cmd - l ist the VM listed yet?

  If so try vmware-cmd - s unregister /vmfs/volume/XY/VM/VM.vmx

  If it does not help...

  Try to restart your service pass: service mgmt-vmware restart

  If it does not help either remove your host inventory and him readd
