Delete the contents of a folder named downloadhist.xml?

I want to be able to remove the contents of a folder named "downloadhist.xml".  The folder is located in local disk C:/users/user name/appdata/Roaming/MSN6/a bunch of letters and numbers/downloadhist.xml.

The record appears to contain information about the Web sites that I have visited, but not all.  If I can delete content it will make anything wrong?

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Hello V6.

You can delete temporary Internet files from your computer by using the disk Cleanup utility.

You can also try to delete the files in this folder and check if you have any questions. If it's a system file it would not allows you to delete the file.

Thank you

  • What happens if I delete the contents of the my SubscriptionPlayCache folder in iTunes?

    Hello world

    I'm on a MacBook Pro (El Capitan 10.11.2, 2.4 GHz/4 GB), with 121 GB of Flash storage and I'm running out of hard drive space.

    I got a new time Capsule recently and more backups were transfer files to this (pictures, videos, etc.), but I just noticed the iTunes cache - specifically "SubscriptionPlayCache" has 9.1 GB of data in it. I regularly listen to music while I work, then, of course, that this has been over time.

    Will be the rumble of coming world down if I delete the contents of this file, leaving the folder itself in place (to begin its inexorable March upward the Hill of filling of storage)?

    Thank you!

    Music files Apple cache: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2015/09/new-flush-apple-music-cache-files/ - ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/ file, which is a bit like a "iTunes Media" folder for music from Apple

    You might find yourself with a bunch of broken links in iTunes for tracks pointing to these files. You could always delete those that many find that painful and unsightly to have them even.

  • Can someone tell me how I can copy the contents of a folder in e-mail on a usb key, please?

    Can someone tell me how I can copy the contents of a folder in e-mail on a usb key, please.  I use Outlook Express.  Thank you very much.  Eve

    Very easy.

    Create a folder on your desktop or elsewhere as My Documents, and then in Outlook Express open the folder with the messages you want to save. Highlight a message, and then Ctrl + A will highlight all (or Ctrl-button down while you select only messages you want), now, drag and drop them into the folder on your desktop. Now you can copy this folder to Flash.

  • How to delete the contents of a Datagrid?

    Hi all

    I want to delete the contents of a datagrid and be able to display the content again as needed.

    I have two selectors datefield, two buttons. A button to view the log of the datagrid. Another button to delete the data grid.

    < mx:HBox width = '100 percent"height ="100% ">
    < mx:Label text = "From" / >
    < mx:DateField id = showToday "dateFrom" = "true" enabled = "true".
    formatString = "MM/DD/YYYY".
    disabledRanges = "{[new Date(), {rangeStart: new Date()}]}" / >
    < mx:Label text = 'To' / >
    < mx:DateField id = showToday "dateTo" = "true" enabled = "true".
    formatString = "MM/DD/YYYY".
    disabledRanges = "{[new Date(), {rangeStart: new Date()}]}" / >

    < mx:Button id = "btn1" label = "see the error log" click = "getErrorLog ()" / >

    < mx:Button id = "btn2" label = "clear all" click = "clear ()" / >
    < / mx:HBox >

    But once I have delete the contents of the DataGrid, I'm not able to load the data again. I delete the content by using the following function:

    private void clear (): void {}

    dateFrom.text = "";
    dateTo.text = "";
    CDL of the var: Array = errorLogTable.columns;
    var size: int = errorLogTable.columnCount;
    cols.splice(0,Size);
    errorLogTable.columns = cols;

    }

    errorLogTable is the id of my datagrid.

    Remove all your columns is required?   in your code you not delete content, you delete all the columns.so, next time you have some columns to display the data. If you want to see empty DG, then use the following syntax.   errorLogTable.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection();

  • Windows Mail reset / delete the contents of the folder when you restart

    After more than a year of use of Windows Mail - all my messages and account information is missing.  I have rebuilt them, only to see them disappear after restarting my computer.

    Contacts and mail rules are still there, but my files and mail is gone.  Show rules with a red X because the destination folder is gone.

    It seems that the content of the: Mail C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows

    are deleted and rebuilt at some point during the restart process.  I tried to change the location of storage in Windows mail, but that setting gets also brought back on reboot.

    I don't know if this is normal, but the folder where messages are supposed to be appear in blue.

    Thanks a lot for all ideas.

    Search for antivirus interference.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
     
    You can also consider trying to create a different user account and see if Winmail works very well under that user.

    Thank you Sandra,.

    These steps have not solved the problem.

    On other experiences - it looks like all the content of the

    C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\Microsoft

    are getting deleted on reboot - that includes information from Windows Mail.  If I change the storage location of e-mail to something outside this directory, it records everything.  But is not really solve my problem because I think there are other things stored in this folder that should stay around.

    Any ideas on this issue?

  • CC has deleted the contents of a file on the hard drive of my iMac

    I've updated CC Thursday, 2/11 at 14:37.  At approximately 16:00, I went in Lightroom and advised that he could not find files containing all my photos (330 + GB).  I checked the hard drive, and the folder containing these files was empty.  I went back to Time Machine and copied the files in the folder-which took more than two hours.  I checked my HDD before retiring for the night, and the record was intact.  However, when I checked again the next day, the folder was empty once more.  I was informed by others on Facebook there are people facing a similar problem with the latest version of CC.  The contents of the first file on the hard disk is deleted.  Today, I restored my drive Time machine back to 2/9 - until the question is asked.  But it's something that you--and all CC users--should be aware.  This is a SERIOUS issue!  Luckily for me I had a backup (several safeguards, in fact).  But I am now 'GUN-SHY' on the use of the CC.  Any comments?

  • Delete the content of new tabs

    When you click to add a new tab, I get yahoo home page... I want to search (Google) or a cache...

    Here's how you can change your new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page, for example, https://www.google.com/

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown.

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder).

    Hello

    Please also try a new profile. If it's good, you can later copy the necessary personal data of the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings to another separate location of the files/folder. A new profile would default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and topic: config ) and usually also would be vacuum of Extensions and themes (appearance) in tools > Add-ons) and their parameters. In addition, a new profile would have no previous website stored data/settings etc, (Tools > clear recent history).

    Profiles Howto

    Files & profile folder

    Subject: config entries

    You can try to prevent the temporary storage by setting override automatic cache management to 0 (zero) in Tools ("Alt + T") > Options > Advanced > network. Please note that certain data such as streaming video... always can be stored in the temporary folder of Windows.

  • Delete the DCIM subfolders 100APPLE folder

    The DCIM folder subfolders contain additional data for photos, allowing you to organize them. There is no need to delete. If you delete the pictures of the iPad in the Photos app, it will be enough. In the future, you can use the camera wizard to import the photos instead of using the file Explorer, and you won't even see the folders.
