Delete files

In local disk C: / WINDOWS (folder), I have about 160 files inside that have titles such as $MSI31Uninstall_KB893803v2$ and $NtUninstallKB823559$ and $NtServicePackUninstall$, more a lot more like them. File icons are folders and they are faded, compared to all the other icons file in the WINDOWS folder.
My questions are:
1. can I delete all those who fainted in search folders with the $NtUninstall, there are about 160 of them.
2 are these folders faded it in case I want to uninstall an update of safety KB?
3. what happens to the old KB security updates?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

If your PC behaves properly, you can remove the hotfix Windows backup hidden files that start with $NTUninstallKB to the WINDOWS folder. Be aware that once they are removed you will not be able to uninstall the updates they represent.

There are two ways to do:

A. manually, but copy files on a CD/DVD first to enable their restoration has a fix must be removed thereafter. Now delete the folder \WINDOWS, but leaves the orphan entries to add / remove programs intact. Remove only the $NTUninstallKB files that relate to corrections, not those for applications such as Word, WMP, etc.. In addition, DO NOT DELETE THE folder$ $hf_mig.

B. my preference goes to run a script that also removes the corresponding entries in Add / Remove programs. Once they are deleted by the script, they cannot be restored. Download, extract and run this little script http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm creating a system restore point first just in case something goes wrong when the update of the register.

  • Hack and download deleted files.

    Firstly - I don't know anything about apple products, but a few years back we were at a party where my son was charged to hack an iPad to friends and download of deleted files. My son is said to have picked up his iPad and clicked the button image on his screen locked and watched a slide show.

    But they were pretty adamant that he hacked in and downloaded its deleted pictures because she removed the image that he could see. He also repeated that they could see pictures deleted! They have nothing serious, she took a few pictures of pimples on the face and apparently they made fun of her and she got very angry, being 10 or 11 years and they ended up leaving the group.

    Things kind of has taken a turn for the worse when the friend's brother went behind my son to school has grabbed by the shoulders spun around him and he was slammed into a locker and yelled to leave his sister alone. Well, my wife was quite upset and things came and went for a bit and we pretty much no more.

    So in the end - they looked like, Yes, I disagree with my son doing... but look at what your son. The mother says well enough, was his exact quote "[my son] betrayed [his] confidence to hack his iPad and download its deleted photos!

    Can someone please explain what they're talking about and how was my son able to watch a slideshow on a locked iPad? Can someone also explain how can they see Deleted Photos?

    Sorry for this long post...

    From the sounds of things, your son has no more to start the slideshow on the device function. Maybe the photos they thought had been deleted was not. I vaguely remember the feature which for my part would have stopped. See http://ipadacademy.com/ipad-tip-using-your-ipad-as-a-digital-photo-frame-even-wh en-locked /. From what I understand, it has been deleted in the iOS 7.

  • Why isn't suddenly deleted files is no longer testify in Trash like they used to do

    This morning I deleted an e-mail and then realized I needed some information from it. I naturally expect to end up in the trash, as always, but when I open the trash can none of my deleted files are there. I don't have a "blank out" together. I use Thunderbird 31.4, on Windows 7 Professional. I rebooted both Thunderbird and Windows, to no avail. I have not changed my account settings or options. This has not happened before. Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you for all your efforts. As I said, I'm afraid the first link leads to an element in Swedish (I think), which was just a single line and not recognizable as something I knew. Your second link leads to an article in English (thanks) and has shown a page of "settings". I put no parameters of "Empty on exit", or something similar, which could have been what you were suggesting that I look at.

    Since then, as announced, I did an uninstall and reinstall and now all is well. I can only assume that Thunderbird somehow became corrupted. Otherwise, it's a mystery. Still a bit of an annoyance if, as I do not do not know why things happen.

    Thank you once again.

  • Can I delete files from my drive iCloud on my MacBook?

    If you disable iCloud by car, you will be told the local copies of your files will be deleted, but will remain in iCloud.

    When you delete them from your iCloud drive, the files will be deleted to iCloud.

    iCloud is a synchronization service, not off of storage of the unit.

  • Toshiba Gigastore 250 GB: problems to delete files

    Hi all

    I can't delete files from my Toshiba Gigastore more. Whenever I try, the following message appears: "unable to remove. Access denied. Source is probably always open. "

    However, the files are not in use when I try to delete. I tried to delete after a reboot and tried as admin. Nothing works.

    The problem started to occur after the Gigastore has been disconnected from the computer (hot plugout).

    My OS is W2K SP4 (with the latest security updates). The GigaStore didn't work properly from the beginning, because it is not possible to disconnect the USB when the system is running (this problem is known and described in the user manual).

    Howe can I overcome the problem without reformat the drive? Maybe it's possible to boot linux and delete files on the GigaStore? Is this desirable, that linux does not seem to get along well with NTFS?

    Many thanks in advance,
    Led

  • Worried about HARD drive recovery deleted files

    Hello

    Recently I deleted files recovery from HARD drive on the second drive hard partitioned on my laptop so I could melt in a hard drive.
    After doing so, I realized HDDRecovery can important.

    But I'm a little confused if you backed up to DVD/CD I did in any case the same utility?

    So I have nothing to fear?

    Hello

    HARD drive recovery is a nifty feature that would allow you to recovery of the laptop without the use of the Recovery DVD.
    You could simply recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.

    But now it's not possible because you have modified, deleted the partition of HARD disk and therefore, you can only use the recovery disc.

    I think it will not copy the files from HARD drive on the new partition recovery, because the previous HARD drive recovery contained some hidden signs and flags that advocates for HARD drive recovery settings

  • How to retrieve deleted files from sony cyber shot camera without having to download any software

    I accidentally deleted my pictures of sony cyber shot camera... I want to restore their back, it's my favorite holiday photos, how to get hide them without downloading any software, can help anyone

    Windows and MacOS don't come with the ability to restore deleted files. If you want to restore deleted files, you need to suppliment your computer with software that can do this. To get this kind of software on your computer, the simplest method is to download it. If you don't want to download it, perhaps you could ask a friend to download it for you and give it to you on a flash drive.

  • I get a message saying startup disk is almost full and to delete files. How can I go about it?

    I have a macbook air and a message comes up saying that my boot drive is almost full and delete files to make more space. What files and where? Thank you.

    Buy an external hard drive if you do not already have one and migrate personal files, things like documents, music, photos, videos, stuff like that.  Once they are on the external hard drive, delete them from your computer.  You would remove them the same way you would remove any other thing - click it, right-click, select "Move to trash."  Delete nothing however, until you have moved to an external drive.  If you don't save a copy somewhere, once you remove them, it's over and you can't get it back.

    To understand what that other things that can be deleted are go up --> about this Mac--> storage.  This will tell you how many you have on your hard drive right now.  Post here a screenshot of it.

  • Satellite U - How to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    Hello

    Does anyone know how to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the data in this folder will not be deleted to bin recycled initially, but they will be removed immediately.
    How recovery them? Good question?

    Try to find some third party applications that can scan the HARD disk for deleted files. The point is that it will work if the FAT (File allocation table) is deleted only. This means that the file is on the HARD disk, but the disk HARD doesn t know where exactly.
    Hmmm... It is not so easy.

  • Cannot delete files from sharing

    I have a ReadyNas Duo performer 5.3.11 v2

    I have a folder that I use for saved documents. Now I am unable to delete all the files and folders in this directory. I spent in actions and reset the permissions. This has not fixed the problem. I have no user or security on the NAS.

    I noticed that there is a Beta from 2013. That would solve this problem? Or y at - it another way to fix this?

    Short answer: I had to go out for a few hours and now it works. I don't know why it broke, and now I don't know why it started working. I did reset on sharing permissions and restarted the NAS server. Maybe he had to make a pass to reset each queue (?).

    But you're just StephenB, good fishing. HTTP has been activated as a service, but not for sharing.
