Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
d. restart Windows Media Player.

a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

Impossible to delete the files from the Windows Media Player library
Cannot delete files from library
There are files in my library that I deleted the files, but the items still appear in my library. An example would be the items stored in the folder 'Public '. When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens. Any suggestions on how to get these files is no library WMP? I tried already to 'Restore the library' and I also tried "sfc/scannow", which did not find any problem.
It seems to be a corrupt library file. In any case of the deletion and re-creation of who?
Thanks in advance for any given input. If any other detail is necessary, please do not hesitate to ask.

Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.
Original title: deleting files problem
I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.
You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.
To do this, follow these steps:
Method 1:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.
3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Method 2:
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

Hi zztopzztop,
Instead of a new user account, you can move the public folder of music, and from there the two accounts are accessible and played.
Check out the link:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/sharing-files-with-the-public-folder
If you want to continue copying, then you can copy if the default location for the new user account.
Sign in with the user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.
a. open the Explorer, click on organize, and select folder and Search Options
b. click the display and check the option Show hidden files and folders box and click OK to save the settings.
Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).
Hope this information is useful.

How to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after download / print?
Can someone tell me how to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after that I downloaded and printed. Thank you
jmsandkds,
I apologize for the confusion. Options you speak of "photos, web and file" are located on the phone somewhere, lets say you click files. When you click on files, it will search the phone for available files that are able to print the ePrint app. To the extent where they are on the phone, you will need to search for them via the search screen, connection to the computer, or some files are program specific and only available in this program to be read, edited, or deleted.
I hope this helps.

I was do a cleaning on my system and find files and temporary folders in all directions. I was wondering if it is safe to delete the files from the System 32 > DriverStore > Temp folder.
Thank you

Nothing in the Windows or Program Files and files their subfolders should be left alone. You won't earn a significant amount of disk space, and you may cause to yourself untold trouble sleeping herein. Use instead the provided Windows Disk Cleanup. You can get to it by clicking on start-> computer, then click on the C: drive and click Properties. On the general tab, you will see disk cleanup. Use it and you will be safe (and not sorry). Everything you personally placed on the computer can always be removed of course as long as you do not try to remove installed manually the software (use the programs and features in the control panel for this).
I hope this helps. Good luck.
