• Is it safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore?

  I would like to know if it is safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore. I did two restorations system in a year or two, and I have two files labeled "Windows.old" and "Windows.old.000" which are just take a lot of space on my computer. I heard that it is safe to remove them, but only if some files are copied correctly. How do you know if those files are copied on?

  Thank you!

• Can I safely delete these old files related to Firefox?

  While addressing a problem last week, I came across the following files in my computer:

  nsSessionStore.js C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\components\ 72 KB 2007-08-16 04:07: 44
  C:\Program Files\PortFirefox\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\components\ 72 KB 2007-07-26 12:09 nsSessionStore.js: 20

  I did find out a little more and found that Netscape Navigator is still installed on this system! Should I uninstall it? I don't remember using it for centuries and I doubt it's something special that Firefox can not do now.

  There is no installed program called Port Firefox, just a big file (about 32 Meg) - of the date of creation (8 September 2007) and the date of last change (October 23, 2010), I'm pretty sure that this record has been left by the computer technician who brought my system. Can I go ahead and just delete the folder?

  Finally, there is another folder in Program Files, which looks like it has the same dates, and even once, does not seem to be related to any installed program. -This one is called Radio@NetscapePlus.
  Yet once, just delete the folder?

  I'm a bit of a mission to get all the stuff obsolete and unused out of my system so I would really like to know what to do about these files.

  Thank you, KK.

  None of these 'files' are associated with your installation of Firefox 32 at all!

  Yes, uninstall Netscape 9 - there has been a lot more features that Firefox has, it was a 'Suite' of internet programs much like SeaMonkey is now. You won't miss what you have not used for many years.
  Make sure that you remove all files that could be left behind, too. Delete the Radio@NetscapePlus file, also.

  PortableFirefox is not actually 'install', there is no registry key as with the official version of Firefox. If you delete all the folder Program Files Portable will be gone and will not be an official impact your Firefox installation.

• I can't delete a corrupted file which keeps causing execution errors

  During a simple renaming of files, the file became corrupted somehow and the file is on my desk. Whenever I start it, a message error window pop up and States:

  "This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact support team of enforcement for more information".

  The name at the top of the error message window is Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

  Then if I click OK or close this window it says that windows Explorer has stopped working and you have to restart.

  I think that if I can delete the damaged from the computer I will not continue to receive this error message but I tried everything I know and I am unable to remove it. I even ran a program called "FileASSASSIN" but it was impossible to remove.

  I also ran my anti-virus software to remove the damaged files, but was unable to remove it. I can not move the file to another folder or even rename it again.

  I really don't want to have to re - install windows, if there still around him.

  Thank you

  Jerry...

  You can use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

  http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

  Good luck.

• You press on delete all selected items by browsing the data store and accidentally deleted a vmdk file which has the OS on it

  I accidentally deleted the vmdk file that has my OS on it by pressing the "Delete selected items" button in the window of browser data store. Is there anyway to recover? I have a snapshot that doesn't seem to work. There is still the VMDK file in there, but it has now 'delta' be added at the end. Now I get an error message when I try to turn on my VM saying that he doesn't get the vmdk file, of course.

  

  

  From the screen shots looks you have deleted only the descriptor hard files that can be recreated. To ensure this is the case, please provide a complete list of the files in the folder of the virtual machine and attach the last file.log of vmware(from the virtual work computer) to a post response to view required details.

• Deletion of old files and assets

  Hello. I have tons of graphics files and also some HTML files, which are no longer in use. In other words, they are not linked to any page. Is there a way to clean these? For example, there is a designation on file in files mode icons, that tells me what are 'active' files and are not?
  
  I've looked in the help files and did a search, but nothing came.
  
  Thanks in advance!

  First, make a backup copy of this file of Site Local

  Then, check menu dw-> Site-> link at the site level
  fixed broken links.

  Then, change the drop down menu in the results panel to "view the orphaned files.
  The files listed are those who have no links to them that dw includes.
  You can use the Remove button to send them to the trash.
  Re-create the site cache, then do it again.

• How to bring back an old file from local folders into the present Thunderbird folders

  Years ago, I deleted a file called oldmail (with all its subfolders) of Thunderbird and save it in the default profiles for later retrieval. Now, I renamed the file oldmail.sbd and paste into local folders directory. However Thunderbird does not recognize. What is going on?
  Thank you

  Go to the menu Tools (alt + T)... There is a new entry at the bottom called export-import. These menu entries allows you to import your old MBOX files. It's in the car. This isn't a Microsoft fixit to the automatic address file.

  I'm willing to be that this is not a bug. Your antivirus can be hyperactive if.

• Why KB2538242 etc. must require the old files vcredist.msi (to uninstall the old stuff)?

  First of all, some "background story":
  The old facilities must be uninstalled with their files vcredist.msi of origin before the end of the new facility. Is he missing the old files, .msi, Microsoft Update still believes that the update is successful, which in fact is unfinished, but simply "cancelled successfully. This is the real cause of constantly repeated same updates KB2538242 etc., appear. I had this problem and manually downloaded several vcredist package old version and uninstalled those corresponding to my system, but there is still the KB2467175 one which the download link was dead. In the end, I can't yet to complete installation of the update.

  Now the questions: why updates must rely on old packages in installation? Why can they not do the job on their own? (That is anyway to work around this problem and more) a reinstallation of the system, or b) hide this update?

  Try this if you are using Win XP.  Install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x 86) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3387.  Then run the run the KB2538242 update.

  I found all the other 'remedies' MS and others do not work.  The problem is the original distribution is damaged or missing and needs to be reinstalled before the update will take.  At least, that was my problem and how to solve it.

• Cleanup of old files of e-mail after the importation of the accounts in the new computer.

  I have a new MacPro with El Capitan.  In the implementation of the new computer, I installed my email accounts, one in particular (a gmail account) had 7 GB of files.  I went into the settings Gmail and disabled Protocol IMAP AllMail, Archive, and several others that I didn't need on the Mac Mail.  It seems that there is a residue of all these emails stored on computer and I would like to remove them because they consume a lot of space on the hard disk.    Y at - it a particular cache that can be cleaned?  A special way to remove hidden files?

  You must remove the Gmail account in Mail in Preferences > accounts. This will bring you to system preferences > Internet accounts. Uncheck the Gmail box in system preferences.

  It seems to remove all the data, but it's actually still in the Mail. Go to the library (see below) Mail to the user folder. In v3, you will see several folders named like that.

  C7AA1753-CDA7-4C5D-9505-05B73B565A50 /.

  C9A984AA-A145-4988-8279-B93445951DAB /.

  MailData

  Check in the files with the alphanumeric naming. You should be able to identify what your Gmail account. If you have only one account other file would be for messages "on my Mac" premises. Delete the folder with your Gmail data.

  Then in email given, delete files that the envelope in the name.

  Sign out under the Apple in the menu bar.

  Connect and empty the trash.

  In system preferences > Internet accounts, check the Mail to your Gmail account. When you open Mail it will reindex messages that have not been deleted, then your Gmail messages will download from the server according to the ones you marked for synchronization.

  Note: You may find that the Mail does not well with the unsynchronized all mail folder.

• . DNG files not showing thumbnails in the Mac Finder

  Hello.

  I'm trying to convert to Lightroom for my photos on my Mac and when I downloaded the example for tutorials .dng files, I noticed that they do not appear in my files to the Mac Finder thumbnails. Clearly it is somewhat a disadvantage when there are file photos.

  .Dng files I downloaded all appear identical graphic icons that resemble an opening of the camera.

  Is it possible to get these files will appear as thumbnails on my Mac please?

  I'm running OS X on a MacBook Pro 10.9.4.

  AHA, this is what is happening. I downloaded the practice files. They are the new format dng compressed and scaled-down (like smart Lightroom previews) that Adobe just introduced with LR 5. Raw Apple libraries like also all non-Adobe software can not read those, unfortunately, so you will not be able to preview.

• Running opensuse 12.3 and FF 19.0.2. What is the name of the file, which contains all of THE bookmarks?

  I need to erase all bookmarks on my FF in opensuse 12.3

  The places.sqlite file contains your bookmarks and history. If this file is missing or damaged, Firefox will restore the last backup of bookmark.

  The bookmarkbackups folder bookmark backups that Firefox creates automatically.

  Both are in your profile folder. Do not delete either so that Firefox is running.
