Deleting files from the error log

Periodically when a software malfunction is experienced, Windows application, an error message is sent to Microsoft.  I think remember me that these error msg files are stored on the sending computer, and they can be very important. I want to find them and delete them as my HF is so that there is not enough space to defragment.  Can someone advise please where to find referenced files?

Click Start > all programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup .  Is there something for dumps memory or Windows error reporting?

CCleaner can remove memory dumps.

  • 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?

  • 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

    Serrano

    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.

  • Deleting files from the recovery disk

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • Deleting files from the store of data using vSphere SDK

    Hello

    I'm doing a backup script that is supposed to clone a machine once every day.

    The steps that I'm trying to achieve is to first delete the old copy of my clone (this because vCenter won't replace the files). So I want to clone again and he unsubscribe vcenter because we do not want it displayed in our inventory.

    I got in regards to cloning and unsubscribing, but deleting files seems to be a bit more complicated.

    I tried a few approaches, I tried to vmdkManagement.pl that is not quite what I wanted (also tried change it without the desired result).

    I tried to figure out how to write my own script to delete, but the API is out of my reach as to understand how the neccessery objects correctly.

    Can someone help me with an excerpt from script (between Util::connect and Util::disconnect) or another approach to this issue?

    I must mention the data store is a NFS share and VMware seems to lock the files that prevents me to run a scheduled task to delete or using methods of perl (rmtree or untie) to delete files.

    Best regards

  • Deleting files from the Recycle Bin

    I'm removing three trash .avi files. I get the error message: "cannot delete dgx:file is used by another program or user; Close the program and try again." The x in the dg can be 2, 4 or 5 depending on the .avi should be deleted.  First of all, the files are not called "dgx" and I do not know what program to close.

    Hello and thanks for the reply. Google and tried one solution. Right click and cut the file, the computer restarts, then deleted and removed. I forgot to mention that these files were initially removed from the external drive. If the cut function should have taken control of the external hard drive (e.g. by the user). That seems reasonable? Yes, safe mode would have been my next test. Thanks again.

  • Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

    Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

    I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

    * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

    I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

    If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

    C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
    Checks a disk and displays a status report.

    [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

    volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
    mount point or volume name.
    filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
    /F fixes errors on the disk.
    /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
    on the disk.
    On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
    /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
    (implies / f).
    L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
    of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
    size.
    /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
    All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
    (implies / f).
    /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
    /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
    structure.
    /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
    (implies / r)

    The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
    skip certain checks of the volume.

    Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.

  • Deleting files from the HARD disk without confirmation?

    My catalog has thousands of duplicates.  I began to remove them by opening each folder & select 1 or more and do a right click to remove.  Whenever I do this I wonder if I want to remove the HARD drive as well and I always say Yes.  Is it possible to remove the step that requires the conformation?

    I don't think so.

    But what you can do instead to delete each file individually: you can try to assign a keyword such as 'tobedeleted' to the selected files. You can assign the keyword for multiple files highlighted on your screen, browse another page and so on. When you're done, you select all files with that keyword and delete all at the same time with a single click to ' also delete disk.

  • Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library

    There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer.  However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!).  I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me.  How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library?   I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).
