  I understand that you want to remove unnecessary files. What is considered as unwanted files varies from one person to another.

  However, Windows XP includes a utility that identifies and allows the removal of the files that are widely considered to be useless files.

  To access the utility:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. click on run

  3 type "cleanmgr" (without the quotes)

  4. click on OK

  After running the utility, a list of unwanted files is returned. In general, unless there are special reasons, it is safe to leave checked the following:

  -Temporary Internet Files

  -The Office installation files (the files needed are on the installation CD)

  Hope this helps

• 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?

• What are the unnecessary files and is at - it issues removing them?

  I need to free up some space because I ran. But I'm afraid if I delete some unnecessary files, it will have an impact on my PC.

  What type of files 'undesirables '?

  Please be more explicit. In general, Yes, because they are "undesirable".

  You can clean everything in the folder % TEMP except files currently locked. Is better to clean temp folder immediately after restarting Windows.

  What do you mean that you have run out of free space. A tool like CCleaner will identify the "junk" files that can be deleted.

• 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.

  Help, please! What can I do to get rid of these pesky files?

  Hello

  This is a known issue with OS X 10.11, that has never been set.

  FC.

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

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7409456

  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.

  This seems to be a serious regression within XNU. I wonder if it is fixed in OS X 10,12 or not.

  Good luck

• 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.

• Cannot delete the file on my Mac

  I feel so frustrated at the moment. It's my computer and my files and sometimes it says I don't have permission to delete or it is used when it is not because it is the first time I have connected the player via an ethernet cable.

  I don't know if he connection via ethernet cable makes a difference. I searched the net and cannot see messages about how to empty the things you cannot delete from the trash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  Sorry, I'll try and be a little more specific. The I'm trying to delete files are video files and projects related to the soft of Adobe. When I try to delete the file, it indicates a specific folder with videos is in service. I did not open this file or folder for more than a year.

• transfer the software mp3 sony = error-overdrive overdrive audiobook suggests deleting internet files in firefox partition does not work

Overdrive suggest the updated media player which I did and then delete the files temporary Internet in firefox, not sure how and the library could not do that either. Thanks for any help

  Hi malcolm_henry,

  From what you describe, you receive an error message when you run OverDrive and attempt to transfer the music files on your SONY reader, are - this correct?

  If so, the issue is probably with OverDrive, and you should contact their support of clarification on what means the error message:

  Please let us know if this is not the case.
