• Cannot delete the file/folder even in Administrator Mode or Mode safe

  I. hate. Vista. Windows XP has NEVER been this difficult to work with!

  I recently installed MagicISO. Didn't like it, so I deleted it. He left behind a small dll file and the folder. I wanted to remove both, couldn't.

  Tried safe mode. FAILED

  Administrator account I tried. FAILED

  Tried both together. FAILED

  Help me please? How could I not have permission to delete a file in administrator mode? Seriously, Windows Vista is just messed up all unrecognizable... * rant rant rant *.

  In fact, I thought that the answer.

  Went to safe mode.

  Used ShellExViewer (RUN AS ADMIN) and disabled MagicISO.

  Walked over to the directory and delete the .dll and the folder that it is.

  Restarted my computer in normal mode.

  Problem solved.

  Thank you all for helping me. I appreciate it a lot! I don't know what I'd do without you people. : D

• How can I delete a file named [Torrentreactor.to]

  000000

  We could use more information on the way in which the file came to be on your system and what program to assign you it.  In addition, it would be useful to know why you want to delete this file and where it is located (to see if we can learn more about it and its function and perhaps why, you find it difficult to do).  But I'll give a few suggestions based on certain assumptions that I'm going to do about the situation.  If you get error messages or the program starts to him alone without want you to do it, then please tell us that (and are exactly what that error messages and when the program starts).

  If it is part of a program that you no longer want, you need to uninstall the entire program rather than deleting its files (as suggested above by Bruce)- otherwise the pieces of the program will remain in your system files and in the register (and perhaps elsewhere) without good service (and be VERY difficult to find and safely remove later if you want to clean your machine).  If Vista uninstall does not work, try Revo to: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html , who sometimes works when Vista standard uninstall programs does not work.

  Maybe you do not have permissions or ownership to delete the file (you should receive error messages - if yes, what are they).  Here's how to fix that:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  If it is an unknown file that you do not know how it got on your system and you are unable to delete in the normal way (which is I guess the case since you posted the question here), can carry by using one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Can I delete individual files in a backup of Windows 7?

  Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to delete individual files from a backup. I like to keep my backups tidy and get rid of files that I would need is more if I need to restore.

  Thank you
  Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  First of all, it can normally be done, but it's not simple (and much more complicated/difficult {to the point where some people will say "no, it cannot be done"} if it is an image backup full rather than a full backup; and even with a full, more complicated backup but just more effort if differential backups indivdual also play a role, since you may need to check each of them also).

  That said, the answer will also depend on what you used as backup destination.  If it was and external HARD disk or a separate internal HDD or a network location, then you will probably be OK.  If you used a set of DVD or CD, it of extraordinarily difficult or, if the drives are not the RW types (but guys R), impossible (since you cannot make changes to them once they are written).

  See this thread to see if it helps: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/delete-individual-files-from-a-backup/5dbbe219-e062-4a11-9d87-a8ec26d97174.  Don't forget to use Browse for the files, as you see not individual files with browse for folders.

  If this does not help, then I recommend research and/or validation of help in the TechNet Forum dedicated specifically to the problems of backup here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/.

  In my case, since I the backups periodicals full image as well as weekly full backups (with daily differential backups) AND maintain multiple copies as "backup backups' so to speak, it would be even more complicated.  If I felt the need to do (but I don't see a good reason, it would be NECESSARY that desperately and leave just the time to cure the problem), I would probably remove the file from the system and just launch a new series of backups that although a lot of time, maybe more simple in the end.

  Good luck!

• Unexplained random deletion of files

  I put the finger on how and when it happens. But why this happens, I have no idea. I know that it is this computer, but I would like to know the correlation here.

  But every morning alone, when I open the Dreamweaver. It always removes the files that I recently worked on as well as a specific set of files it removes always. Woke up this morning to the entire deleted folder.

  Yes, I know it's Dreamweaver. But also associated with this computer, somehow. I didn't need to hear about viruses and all that. We scanned, checked, re-scanned lived reformat as the older version of Dreamweaver? Actually deleted my files the. So, I'm a little tad frustrated to Dreamweaver. But I know also is THAT this computer also, so it is difficult to what to be angry against, lol.

  But of all ways, how to get Dreamweaver even connect to the server even when not connected and remove the files?

  Today I've been open Dreamweaver, then bam! Our site goes down.

  I really envy this computer just office space.

  Use a dedicated 3rd party FTP Client like Filezilla to transfer files.  If the problem persists with Filezilla, you have a big problem with your computer.

  A self-replicating Trojan that pretends to be essential system files can cause all sorts of mayhem. I know because I had one.  Normal goods anti-virus detect not it.

  Remove Pandemiya Trojan permanently from your PC-

  I finally had to buy SpyHunter to quarantine files guilty he could find.  But the horse of Troy kept auto-répliquant and as such was never completely removed from my system.   Very frustrating.

• can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

  I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

  Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.

• Impossible to delete legacy files, character there is NO guilty?

  I was browsing some legacy files in my archive DVD containing old projects of the time 7 OS and now I am unable to remove my trash of 2 of them. There are two pesky files that contains a "NULL" character at the beginning of their file name. I can't move or rename, so the folder hierarchy that contains rest too.

  

  I can't rename the files. When I move or empty the trash, this error message is displayed:

  

  I have tried everything I can think, renamed, all UNIX commands in the terminal I could google to the top. Moving them in a temporary account and then delete the account does not work. After you remove the user remainder file, containing only rogue files and folders.

  Help, please! What can I do to get rid of these pesky files?

  Hello

  Cannot delete/rename/move a file of Windows with a special character

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7409456

  Workarounds include:

  (a) start the machine problem in OS X 10.10 or an earlier version and delete the file from there. or

  (b) connect the machine problem started in disc Mode target of another machine booted to OS X 10.10 or an earlier version and delete the file from there. or

  (c) to initialize the volume where the file problem.

  This seems to be a serious regression within XNU. I wonder if it is fixed in OS X 10,12 or not.

• All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile.

  All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile. Any ideas, anyone?

  So it's not a logins.json file?

  I see a signons3.txt file and a file signons.sqlite older, if you can try to see if you can import passwords stored in this file.

  You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the file logins.json with the following steps:

  • reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
  • Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder

  When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true.
  You have passwords that are imported in the password manager, unless there were errors or signons.sqlite signons3.txt.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• Cannot delete the file on my Mac

  I feel so frustrated at the moment. It's my computer and my files and sometimes it says I don't have permission to delete or it is used when it is not because it is the first time I have connected the player via an ethernet cable.

  I don't know if he connection via ethernet cable makes a difference. I searched the net and cannot see messages about how to empty the things you cannot delete from the trash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  Sorry, I'll try and be a little more specific. The I'm trying to delete files are video files and projects related to the soft of Adobe. When I try to delete the file, it indicates a specific folder with videos is in service. I did not open this file or folder for more than a year.

• transfer the software mp3 sony = error-overdrive overdrive audiobook suggests deleting internet files in firefox partition does not work

Overdrive suggest the updated media player which I did and then delete the files temporary Internet in firefox, not sure how and the library could not do that either. Thanks for any help

  Hi malcolm_henry,

  From what you describe, you receive an error message when you run OverDrive and attempt to transfer the music files on your SONY reader, are - this correct?

  If so, the issue is probably with OverDrive, and you should contact their support of clarification on what means the error message:

  • https://www.overdrive.com/

  Please let us know if this is not the case.

• Despite compact records later, I can't delete imported files

  Trying to consolidate email accounts in thunderbird for winxpsp3. With the import feature, I tried to import
  emails to outlook express and choose "all." Well, it has imported everything on my logical disk as a record of e-mail and now I can't delete them. They reappear once I deleted some of them on the next boot or install,
  Java will not erase of it at all. Why it has imported no records email and or in any case can I get rid of these file directories once anmd for all. I even uninstall on 4 different and same versions messed up the folder tree appears always. I would really like to keep usng thunderbird, but it's maddening.

  I stumbled upon the answer... somehow the program had used my drive D:\ logical for local folders "nobody," rather than looking in the D drive for mail folders. It is under this directive wide she added each file D that I got under local folders and couldn't delete all files in the local folders. It wasn't until I have change D to something more specific than ubiquitous inapplicable records finally went and could stay deleted.

• What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I'll be very grateful for any help in this matter. Thanks to Chris

  Hello

  What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I had a lapse of attention and I deleted a folder containing most of my music files. It is for the most part, the mp3 but there was regular audio files and some wav files in there also. I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I have another PPC machine to help the recovery, if I need, but at the moment, he is not appearing on my network (3 computers). I'm trying to change this soon. I'll be really grateful for any help in this matter.

  Thanks to Chris

  If you emptied the Recycle Bin after you move the folder to the trash, and you don't have a time Machine or another backup, then it is lost, sorry.

• I can't close or delete the file, the button disappeared

  Since I updated to Firefox, at the top of the page where it says FILE, EDIT, VIEW, HISTORY, etc. under the button FILE, the close button is gone & in order to close or delete a file, I have to LEAVE my computer. His TERRIBLE...

  Use Alt + F to open the file menu if you want to see the entry to close the tab.
  
  You can also close a tab with a middle-click on this tab or via the context menu of a tab.

  Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you are using the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
  
  You can see the difference if you use Alt + F to open the file menu and other menus such as the Edit (Alt + E) menu and the menu bookmark (Alt + B) and compare that to what you see, if you use the mouse to open the menu after the bar of menus visible by typing Alt or by pressing F10.
