Deleting files from the downloads folder

Deleting files from my downloads folder delete them will form my laptop?

The downloads folder is mainly a temporary store. What happens after the download depends entirely what they are and what you were doing after download.

Program installers will almost always unpack and create directories elsewhere on the disc in order to remove them from downloads does not remove the actual program.

By default, zip files will create a folder extracted in downloads and will be deleted if the folder is empty.

Photos, documents, music, etc. be elsewhere on your drive if you moved them. As the default drag and drop function within the same drive is move not copy if they are still there, there is a strong possibility that they are the only copy.

  • Cannot delete files from the Recycle Bin

    Hello

    I'm unable to access my trash, everythime I click on the folder, it says windows Explorer has a problem, then said restarting windows.

    And the window just closes, it is there anyway to delete the files from the trash bin other than to go to the folder it self.

    See you soon

    Here is an article on how to repair a trash corrupted in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/131294-recycle-bin-corrupted-cannot-delete-file-folder.html.

    It restarts if you left or do a right-click on the icon or both?  Here are a few ways to empty it by using two methods:

    1. On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin.
    2. Then click the Empty trash to empty its contents.
    3. You will be asked if you are sure that before it permanently deletes the files.
    4. If you're absolutely sure, then click Yes to clear the contents of the Recycle Bin.
    5. Alternatively, you can double-click the Recycle Bin to open and examine its contents.
    6. And then on the file menu, click empty the Recycle Bin.
    7. After confirmation, Windows Vista will be empty all files from the Recycle Bin.

    Go to control panel / customization / Desktop Icons and remove the trash, click OK and close.  Then go back and add the trash.  See if the new basket has the same problem.

    Here is a program that you download that adds a command to empty the trash to the command line if all that you need to do is type of the command in the box search now and it will happen. http://itsvista.com/2007/01/itsvista-tip-23-empty-vistas-recycle-bin-from-the-command-line/.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • SUSPICIOUS. DOWNLOAD SAFARI FILE IN THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER

    HELLO, FOR SOME TIME I FOUND SEVERAL. DOWNLOAD FILES IN MY DOWNLOAD FOLDER: ILS WEIGHT RANGING FROM 20 TO 100 KB AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN AN ERROR WINDOW DISPLAYS, EVEN THE INFORMATION THEREON ARE USELESS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY CAME FROM... IS IT A VIRUS OR WHAT? ANY CLUE?

    Thank you

    Well, if there are some suspicious files "downloaded" in box you then you must NEVER open them because if they are a virus then it's not on your computer. not the reason why I said 'download' with the ' ' is because hackers have a way of putting false downloads in your box, then when you open them they give you the virus. in other words, they could get them you now is if you have opened a strange e-mail that you didn't know who it was, since, they could put a simple hack on your computer to download the fake files which contain the actual virus. So what I would do, is go to apple and ask them to look at and make sure that everything is ok.

  • Deleting files from the Digital Image Starter Edition 2006

    I'm having a lot of trouble trying to remove files from the Digital Image, Library 2006 Starter Edition.  It is in such a mess with files for all my music files, Readme files and many other files that have no photos or videos.  I tried everything to remove these including uninstalling and reinstalling without the time, but it keeps always pick up these files and is therefore very difficult to find the image or video file that you need.  I want to delete all the files in the library and implement only the image and video files, which I need.  Can anyone help please?

    Hi volunteer J - I found the POD PD3 file, but when I go to change the type of file to the FORMER, he said that changing a file extension can render the file unusable.  I have copied all the Microsoft file along with the POD file, but wonder whether he should actually do this.  Advice please. -Thank you

    ===============================================================
    It's just a standard message warning... If you renamed the file back to Pictures.pd3 all
    would be as it was before you it renamed to Pictures.OLD.

    Of course rename will make it unusable, but it's what you need to do if you want to delete the library.

    Renaming or deleting the file Pictures.pd3 will force the Digital Image to create a new Pictures.pd3 file.

    If the warning message affects you... try to rename this OLD_Pictures.pd3 way

    I guess that you know, that the Starter Edition is only a 60 day trial version?

  • Deleting files from the Flash drive

    I have a Sandisk Cruzer Edge 16 GB Flash Drive.  I use it with two computers, an iMac and a Macbook Air, both using OS X 10.8.2.  Recently, I loaded about 10 GB of files on it.  I have now deleted these files.  However, Finder always shows the Flash drive as carrying 10.8 GB of files and having only 5,2 GB of available.  When I try to record a 10 GB file on the Flash drive, I get a message saying that there is not enough available space.

    How can I delete uploaded files from the Flash drive so that I can reuse the whole 16 GB?

    I don't use a Mac, so I'm going off the coast of the memory of what I read here before, but I think you need to empty your trash, while the disc is still connected to your Mac.

    After you delete the files from the drive 'C', the fragmenteur of disc (under Tools) does not work.  What should do?

    Ron

    In which window you find "Tools"? To run under Vista Disk Defragmenter, I would choose to start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.

    What is the exact error message when you try to run Disk Defragmenter?

    Is the hard drive, a conventional or solid state drive?

  • Webutil - deleting files from the application server

    Is there a Webutil function that will erase the files from the application server?

    I tried Webutil_file. Delete_File but it doesn't seem to work. Not quite sure if it's for customer files?

    Thank you
    Paul

    Hello
    Why don't you use HOST or WEBUTIL_HOST command to delete files of APPLICATION SERVER for example...

    HOST('DEL FILEPATH\FILENAME.EXT');
    or
    HOST('CMD /C DEL FILEPATH\FILENAME.EXT');
    
    or 
    
    WEBUTIL_HOST('DEL FILEPATH\FILENAME.EXT');
    or
    WEBUTIL_HOST('CMD /C DEL FILEPATH\FILENAME.EXT');
    

    Function Webutil_File works on the client side. See the documentation for webutil.

  • DW can download the files from the root folder defined bad?

    Can download Dreamweaver inadvertently a file from a local root folder set to the wrong URL?

    I created and uploaded a website ( has) last Monday. This afternoon, I googled a second site, I set up a few months ago (site B). I found it ranked at the top of the page of Google, but Google fourth or fifth entry included the URL of the page 'Contact' of A site.

    I clicked the link and found the 'Contact' of site A page as it should. But when I clicked on the Google cache, I discovered that at one point the site and the Web site B 'Contact' pages (seem to) briefly occupied the same Web page Monday afternoon.

    I don't understand how this could have happened. I did not file for site B last week. I am certain that I didn't wrong download its files to the wrong site. And even if I had, not would be not the whole site - not just a page - have downloaded?

    I hope this question makes sense to someone. I of course do understand.

    Thank you.

    PS I'm using CS4 on a Mac...

    First off I want to ask have you actually checked on the host site to check the structure of the folders in each site? Are the two sites on the same host? Look and see if all of the pages where they are supposed to be.

  • Deleting files from music downloads...

    I know it's kinda a stupid question, but coming from my username, you should know that the knowledge that I am the owner of these issues is very, VERY limited. So I would like to know what will happen if I delete my music downloaded from my "Downloads" section in the Finder files to free up space. Would not remove my music which is already stored in correct Itunes?

    Just a simple 'yes he would", or"So it would be no."is very good for an answer because I do not understand if you enter complicated details.

    Thank you!

    Are you sure that downloading music is also in iTunes?  If you are sure that you have added music in iTunes successfully downloads, then those downloads are safe to delete.

    The short answer, you asked is not, it would not be in normal circumstances.

  • Deleting files in the prefetch folder

    I'm having a minor problem with my antivirus that says it was deleted 3 cookies but if I run the scan again, it always comes with the same 3 cookes and then solved said.  A Norton tech support person deleted temporary files and wants to delete everything in the windows prefetch folder. I did not allow that to happen unless I get confirmation of this forum that I do not have anything at risk by doing this? Thank you.

    Two points:

    1. you can simply be to cookies again by going to a
    particular web site.

    2. using Norton anti-virus? In my opinion and that of many of
    others of us here, it's the worst available security software. I have
    strongly recommend that you replace it with something better.

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one of the
    three of the following:
     
    Avira
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    (both freeware) to install MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
    SuperAntiSpyware.
