• Deleting the files from unwanted program

  I uninstalled a program, but I can't delete the files. When I "think" I deleted (recycle emptied) they reappear later. How can I get these on my computer? Oh, and it still shows on my installed programs (w/34.5 MG program sometimes stays, but no msg is used) and when I click on uninstall, it says there is no such file or directory. But there are?

• Postponement of deletion of files.

  When you delete files, I see a delay on my system.  When I drag the items on my desktop to the trash, it does not immediately remove.  If I click on the desktop, I'll at least get the icon of circulates rotating 'busy', then about 10seconds the file is finally placed in the trash.

  I also noticed a similar problem when you try to delete favorites in Internet Explorer.  In the window 'Organize Favorites', when select a bookmark and click on the button Delete, there is still a delay.  If I click on my desktop then back on the window of the Favorites organize, I finally get a prompt asking if I want to delete the file.

  Any ideas?

• How to remove unwanted files from the local root folder of the site?

  Hello

  I work with Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I have finished my site but I have a lot of files in my local root folder that I don't want to upload to the server. These unwanted files are for most of the photos that I should not be used in my site. I do not understand how to download the site on the server using ftp and remote folder in Dreamweaver. I suppose that if I move the page html files to the remote folder that my photos will not be associated with these html files automatically. I used a Dreamweaver template during the construction of the site. I wish I had a folder with only the necessary files for the site (all html pages and a folder of images) to upload to the server. Is there an easy way to move all my pages and images associated with a folder or remove all unwanted files in the local root folder? As I see it now, I'll have to go through all my pages and write down each title of the photo and then go back and delete each unwanted file. This seems a lot of your time, so I thought that there must be an easier way, I hope.

  Any help or ideas will be of course very appreciated, thanks, dluthier

  I guess you mean 'work' files, not the images that you use in your Web site.

  If they are not related to all pages of your site, you are free to move by using your computer's file management tools. I can give you specific instructions, if you wish, but the short of it is that you do not keep them in the folder root of your site at all.

  In my way of working, I have a folder for each client that includes:

  • The correspondence of this client folder
  • Folder to 'Work'... the PNG images, etc., or of the images from the client
  • Record the site root

  When I get e-mail, I save the message in the appropriate folder of correspondence, I save the images etc in the folder of 'Work' to the customer and I only save images and other who have already been optimized in the Site folder, keep it as intact as possible.

  Even if the general warning must always use the files Panel to move files around, that applies to files which are linked and form part of the structure of your Site. Moving your files 'work' outside of the structure can be carried out safely in windows explore your PC.

  That said, if you need to download and there are files you want to download, or to move, you can 'hide' the in the files Panel by right-clicking on the file name and choosing 'Cloaking '.... "in the context menu that appears.

  To the point that the image files that are downloaded to the remote site will not 'automatically' be associated with your html files. That is right. Unless you have configured explicitly links or associations between files, images will not associate themselves!

  On the subject of 'automatic' way to do this, you can make a link to check on all of your local site. Window > results > Link Checker will bring up the appropriate window, which will give you the choice: broken links, external links and orphan files (this is the one you want). Use the green triangle tower at the left end of the Link Checker to set your auditor... Current Local Document or a set current site.

  If you want to make a checklist to ensure that you move them all, you can save the report by clicking on the small icon "Floppy" under the Green turn the triangle. Who will be on a file text and make up a dialog that you save the report, which will show the broken links, external links and orphaned files. After you move the files to your heart's content, rerun the link check and confirm that you moved the files you want to move. Make sure that you DON'T move files consciously... do not move the .htaccess files or .cgi files, etc.

  Who will save you from actually having to 'write' file names!

• 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.

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

  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.

• delete difficult files?

  I have my MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end 2013) I can't delete files.  They were created in the form of archive Machine local time when the regular destination was not available.

  When I discovered them I tried to move to the trash and empty.  The files have been copied to the trash can, not moved, so I have to find a different way.  I could get all together in a single folder, "TrashMe", in my userspace at home.  I don't know much about UNIX, but I tried sudo rm, rmdir, etc..  I have deleted enough that is not longer archives of Time Machine, but much remains.  I looked down through the folder structure and found files Crashplan downstairs.  CrashPlan support helped me to get rid of people, but there's more that I can't remove.  I get error messages, some of which I'll show you.

  In the Finder, I select TrashMe, and read the information shows "You can read and write" and these users have these permissions

  everyone reading & writing

  Ritch (me) reading & writing

  everyone reading & writing

  I changed the permissions as shown, then chose to apply to the included items.  However, this does not work.  In TrashMe are files like this

  

  I have no access to these files in the Finder.  In the Terminal I can ls and cd my way through the file structure.  I find structures like

  Trash me/MobileBackups_2015-10-11-203305/Computer/2015-10-10-041640/Volume/System/Lib rary/Core Services / file: / / / users/ritch/TrashMe/MobileBackups_2015-10-11-032838/computer/2 015-10-09-080851/Volume/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/

  I think what happened is Time Machine, maybe interact somehow confused with Crashplan, created from the archives of my system files and system files have special protection so that users can't accidentally erase them.  Time Machine could recognize it as an archive, so there probably way to remove the files, but I mutilated the file structure is no longer resembles a archive.

  I think there must be a way to do this in the Terminal.  Can someone please suggest lines of command that I should type to delete these files?  There is I think of the tens of thousands of files, so please give me recursive forms

  You can connect as the root Administrator and delete the theme probably.

  Good luck.

• 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.
