  An attempt to free up storage space, I exported all my photos and then deleted within the app (Image-> remove all). However the Finder shows that pictures library takes up the same amount of space as before I deleted my pictures.

• Is it safe to delete all files from "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp' __evry time I do and then try to use MS Office it asks me the install files. I'm reinstalling MS Office 2007 in its original DVD.

  I deleted all files in the TEMP folder. So when I try to open any MS Office 2007 program, it has me reinstall the suite complete from the original DVD, because the msi file is not the correct version. Is this normal?

  No problem as an administrator. Seems that the problem has nothing to do with the TEMP folder.

• Cannot open Firefox even after deleting all files and profiles of school boards.

  My computer auto-installé the new Firefox version 40.0.2 (and later 40.0.3) and the browser does not open. It worked and I have not received any error message. I tried every fix I can find here, and even manually, I deleted all of my profiles, folders, program files, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my computer, and it still not open. I click on the Firefox button in my bar tasks, the charging symbol goes for a few seconds, then more nothing. Firefox opens and runs without any problems on other computer on computer accounts. I even copied the files of Firefox to the another computer account on which it runs and replaced all files on the computer account that Firefox does not on, rebooted and still nothing. I've been dealing with this issue for over 2 weeks now and am very frustrated because I spent hours trying everything I can find.

  This fix does not work either... tried previously and tried again. However I FINALLY got my Firefox to work on mine. I ended up finding a virus free online (ESET online scanner) scanner and do a full scan on my computer in order to remove anything that could cause a problem. I also went through all my computer programs and documents and cookies and temporary internet files and deleted everything which is not necessary or if it is no longer used. I thought it must be something else because Firefox has no problems with other users of the computer, and my original profile worked very well under other computer users when transferred manually. I think something was interfering with Firefox, which is why none of the fixes here worked because they targeted Firefox itself when it seems that it wasn't the problem.

  Thank you all for your comments!

• How can I delete all files stored on my computer quickly without dumping my base and paid for programs?

  I recently inherited a laptop Acer TravelMate 4220 age of 5 year from my mother, who bought his boss. The problem is that the computer is slow. I mean slow. I suspect that there are 1 million files that need to go bye-bye, and shows that I lack or use. Now I'm not what you call a computer expert; actually, I'm far from it. I tried to delete I know to be sure to delete the files, but there are still one bunch of others that I'm afraid to touch. I suspect that either the disk is too full of *, or somehow a virus or two got (I have a Norton Safe Search program installed MOM). Is it possible to safely and quickly clear the files in the computer without sending the programs installed in purgatory? More impotantly, a dummy like me he can do without damage? I thank will accept any I can get help and thanks in advance...

  The best thing for you to do is to completely reinstall Windows.  Really.

  Acer Travelmate laptops came with a hidden partition which will restore the computer to its state of factory costs, including software applications that were shipped with the computer.

  Because this computer was first held by the 'boss', however, it is possible that a COMPUTER service company everything on the hard drive replaced with a picture of the custom business that does not include the Acer erestore.  You'll just have to watch.  Also, of course, all applications that are added by the company will not be restored using the Acer application.

• Windows backup: if I delete a file on my computer, it deletes the file on my backup too?

  I recently discovered that the feature of automatic backup of windows on my computer and I'm thrilled about it (I think...). So far, my method of backup was just copy and paste all my files on an external hard drive. This method works very well, but it of a lot of time because I have to open each file and include the files or documents are new since my last backup and then drag them over my external hard drive. Very labor intensive.

  Thus, windows backup will do that for me automatically? It will recognize the new files and save them to each backup of the future that I create? And what would you say if the already-saved files are renamed or reorganized on my computer? The backup file will recognize these changes? Or he will treat them as if they are new files (and then let me with duplicates on the backup file)?

  Also, after I backed up my files on my external hard drive, I want to be able to remove some of these files on my computer (in order to free up space on my computer). But these files will then always be on my backup file?   In other words, let's say I finished my initial backup and then delete some files on my computer... on my next backup, windows will see that I have deleted some files from my computer and think I also want these deleted my backup files? Or he'll just leave these files on the backup?

  Hello

  Yes, the Windows 7 backup allows you to create the backup schedule. If you have deleted files after the backup is created, the files must be available in the Windows 7 backup. In your new scheduled backup files are added incremental basis if they available even if you delete them from your computer. All you have to do is to restore them. You can restore individual files or folder tree.

  Some useful tips on Windows backup:

  • Make sure that you create the full backup or an Image of the computer before trying to scheduled backup
  • Create a daily backup schedule, using the Panel\Backup command and restoration centre
  • Verify that your scheduled backups are created every now and then
  • Run a test backup first, just to become familiar with the Windows backup
  • Try to use an external HARD drive that is bootable for backup and create a system restore disk. Just in case you need to restore your Windows 7 full

• HD is full, but there is no files on the computer

  Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for quite a while now. I can't seem to find anything online that actually works, I hope someone can help.

  I have an iMac 27-inch retina display, 1 TB HD. I look on the storage and the other section of the computer takes more than 850 GB, how is this possible? I have next to no file on the disk hard because I'm always working from the external hard drive, I emptied the trash so I know it's clean, I tried "erasing free space" in the utility application disc, but towards the end it always come with the disc full boot, then when the process is complete I get the error message "cannot create the temporary file.

  I am a Publisher so I use photoshop and Premiere Pro a lot, would it something to do with these programs?

  Thank you

  Dan

  For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.

  Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

  ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

  In pictures:

  ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

  Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

  According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

  See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

  You can, if you wish, use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that the ODS only works with OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions.

  IMPORTANT: This comment is neither a recommendation nor an endorsement of any third party software. You should always do your own research to determine if the unknown software is safe and useful. Don't take the word of anyone, including mine.

  Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

  Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

  ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

  Back up all the data now.

  Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

  Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

  The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

  I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

  When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

  Hello

  I'm looking at a friends by Satellite C50D-B-120. It does not start. There OpenOffice files on it, but I don't know exactly where. If I try the "Refresh your PC" option troubleshooting it will delete all files?

  Hi Matt

  I found very interesting Toshiba technical support document in the Knowledge Base, and I think it might be useful to you.

  Windows Recovery 8 & repair
  APS2. Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm

  The 'Refresh' option is primarily a repair technique. It is a good method to return your PC to a known good state while preserving your files and a large part of your configuration. With the option "Refresh your PC", accounts of users, data files and some settings are retained on your PC without the need to create a backup or make choices about what to keep or delete.

  This means that the data should not be affected by using the update your PC option.

• Why a search in the Finder displays the files on the computer of my set?

  Spotlight is a little better, but when I do a search in the finder window I get a list of all the files in my computer.  It's horrible.

  I did a search for a name starting with the letter S and my entire iMac comes with #1 hit in side of Memphis.

  When is Apple going to solve research? Or I do something wrong? Even using Spotlight to search all files on my computer appear in the results.  Why even do a search then.

  In the Finder, there are two things that controls the research:
