• CANNOT DELETE the LARGE FILE - Windows Explorer hangs

  Windows 8

  I made a very large pdf by mistake (14 GB) and now I can't do anything with it. Can not open, delete, move...

  I tried to delete the entire folder where it is located, but also that Windows Explorer crashes.
  I checked the disk for errors, and everything is OK.
  I tried to permanently delete without moving to the trash, as I understand it the trash can sometimes accept very large files. I can highlight the file, but as soon as I click the button remove Ribbon, or right-click, or try to do something with it, Windows Explorer crashes again.
  I have rather a small disc on this machine SSD, and I need this space to the rear...
  Can't think of anything else to try...

  Try to remove the file from a command prompt. You can shift right click a folder to see an option "open command window here", which will automatically open the command prompt in the appropriate folder. There is also an "open command prompt here" option on the file menu. If necessary, you can simply open a command prompt and use the cd command to go to the appropriate folder. (.. leave a folder, / to go to the root). Note that the led, remove and erase commands don't send files to trash either.

  Another thing you can try is crushing the PDF file. Type something in a program that is able to save to PDF and try to save it on this PDF. Please tell me if you receive errors overwhelming, because they can help to find out what is the problem. If you have any program capable of PDF, simply typing things into Notepad and overwrite the PDF file with it. (in the Save in drop-down menu, you can select "all files")

  The entry in NTFS, indicating the presence of this 14 GB file is maybe damaged. The disc may have recorded the location of the bad file, or the 14 GB file may not even be there. You can plan to run the chkdsk utility. It flows better in an administrator command prompt. If you are prompted to do so, you should probably run chkdsk /f. I don't know what the side effects might arise from running chkdsk on an SSD, so proceed at your own risk. (I tried to do a search, and all that I could find is that nothing else than / f should not be run on an SSD)

• What happens if you delete a large file over the encryption process

  I understand that Bitlocker creates a file large placeholder during the initial encryption process, leaving about 6 GB free. So I was wondering, what happens if during this process, you remove one or more of your files and empty trash, in turn leaving for example tens of gigabytes of free space "new"? Bitlocker placeholders file will not automatically increase after that. This little 'will become' what Bitlocker is trying to accomplish?

  I know not if interrupt you the process and continue another day, a large placeholder file will be recreated then also fill the space you released they sleep (which is not the case in the same session when you remove some of your files).

  Hi thxfour,

  Got your problem about sending large files by e-mail.
  If I'm just guessing you use a such as MS Outlook or Outlook Express e-mail client!
  If Yes, then,.
  I inform you that the as soon as you click on the button to send your e-mail client. The content of this particular mail sending process begins. The process continues until the last byte of data is transferred. Now, email clients (almost all) are designed to send the contents of a mail only once and not resumeable parts. Now, each time while you send mail with the content inside, it must go in one piece. However, if there is some sort of interruption in the internet connection, the content is not completely transferred. The remains of mail in the Outbox and automatically transfer begins as soon as the internet connection resumes. When the mail is deleted from the Outbox send is stopped because the source is no longer available.

  This thing happens generally when sending large files on a slow speed or internet medium given that the execution time is more emails compared to normal.
  Run time means more chances to get an interruption in internet connectivity.

  * It is advisable to use an application to transfer files to transfer large files over the internet instead of emails. File transfer can transfer large files (in GB), and if there is no interruption in the internet connection, you can resume the download.

• TDMS-2503 error recovery - delete the index file does not

  My team worked an acquisition of data on some test machines, and I went today to begin the analysis of the data.  It turns out that two of the TDMS files that we generated cannot be opened in Diadem, Excel or use the controls file TDMS Opend in LabVIEW.  I also tried the repair of PDM tool, with the same result.  The test machine has since been demolished, so there is no way to re - run tests.  Is it possible to have the files was looking to see if all the data can be recovered?

  The files were generated with LabVIEW 2013 SP1.  Attemtped to open them in the same version of LabVIEW, and Diadem 2015, and the importer of excel (excel 2010).

  TDMS files are rather large (> 1 GB), but the tdms_index files that were generated with them were 0kB.  Delete the tdms_index files and re - open the TDMS files had no effect.

  A first look into files (using the primitives to open the binary in LabVIEW), the initial section of the appearance of correct files (readable metadata that matches from a work file in a non-working file).

  He seems to have no notable connection between the two files that will not open, nor the differences in the situation of these files for work files.

  Any help would be greaty appreciated.

  TDMS files are written in chuncks.  At the beginning of each chunck belongs to the human readable semi which is data such as channel names and groups, but contains no actual data.  Then follows the binary data.  The index is intended for all semi human readable file and any data.  This should make the reading of the file easier because the file offset and such are in the index file smaller.

  This being said if you have some sections corrupted in your DDHN file you can always get the data out of it.  There is a code floating around that pull each of the segments and find out what is the problem, then all allows you to get all the data before the wrong section.  This thread talking about it, and a short code displayed around page 3.

• Outlook Express to receive e-mail large file for 3 days of work

  Someone sent me an email with a very large file (about 20 MB) and OE tried to receive this message for 3 days with no progress.  I can't send or receive any other emails until it has been received, or better still, deleted.  Help!

  Just to add to the good advice of Brian, there is another thing you can do.

  Create a Message rule:

  Where the message size is size
  Delete server
  Click on size and place it for about 10 MB, and then click: Apply Now.

  Return to the Inbox, and then click send/receive. This should get rid of the message.

  Don't forget to go back to the rules of Message and either delete the rule, or uncheck it if you use it in the future.

• transfer large files

  I'm trying to transfer a large file video AVCHD 7.3 GB of my portable hp7 to a flash drive or drive hard usb. Despite trying various devices and have more than enough detached 450 GB of memory! When I try to move the file, I get an error message saying that the file is too large to move. I can move the file internally on the pc. I am using windows 7 and have been moved successfully to 4 GB files on USB.

  Thank you John d

  Hi John,.

  Maybe it's because your USB and external HARD disk are formatted in FAT32 - try the following.

  First of all, make sure that there are no important file on the USB as the next process will delete the.

  Insert the USB stick into your PC, cancel no matter what Autorun window, click on the Menu start, open the computer, left click on the USB key once to highlight and then right-click and select Format.  Under file system, select NTFS from the drop-down list, and then click Start.

  Once this done, see if you can now copy 7.3 GB file on the USB.

  Kind regards

  Read through the info on the link above.

  And your ISP (Internet ServiceProvider) probably has limits on the size of files that you can send.

  See you soon.

• How to make a deletion of all files ending with a specific character?

  Somehow a large number of duplicate files have been created in my directory tree. I have hundreds of files with names like this:

  Bill.exe
  bill1.exe
  Ted.exe
  ted1.exe

  I need to scan the entire tree and delete all the files as "bill1.
  I tried to use the old generic MS-DOS "? ', but it does not quite work.

  If I use '? 1."as my search criteria, I also get the files which contain '1', but not as the last character. For example: "Phil1Fred" will match this search.

  So that search works, there is enough other files in order to make the very painful process.

  Is there a better way to manage this type of research?

  Unfortunately, which corresponds to unwanted files, such as "Phil1Fred".

  I recommend that you add the "/ p" option, at least initially, when you remove files using a wildcard character.  This makes prompt for confirmation before deleting each file. Owner, Boulder computer Maven
