  • Cannot remove folder AppData in the closed user - administrator account is not enough - owner is "HomeUsers' - OS Win7 Home Premium

    Because it is not possible in Home Premium Win7 for access to the control administrator privileges, I can't understand how to erase all files from the folder of the deleted user.  The user, Jake, had somehow "HomeUsers" as long as the owner of the folder for some reason any.  I checked in another location and Jake folder has been shared with the residential group which is listed as the owner?

    Can I download a utility that will allow me to have the equivalent of control of folders and groups in professional Win7 and Optimum of operation systems.  All I want to do is remove AppData folder hidden from Jake and all of its subfolders.  I tried to change the owner of HomeUsers to the administrator which I already activated.  But the administrator does not sufficient privileges to delete the folder and subfolders, one at a time or all at once. Or from the bottom up (first of all the latest files and folders).

    From what I see in Google ads there are a lot of hit us this security risk... The folder has been shared and accessible for a reason even if we used Page sharing to enable sharing and direct access to the records is used to disable sharing. That's why I pulled off the system Jake account.  We need assistance.  It's not a glitch in nice.  Something had access to our system and that access to create a more powerful than the administrator user.

    Try to delete the file when logged in as an administrator in Mode safe account. If failure repeated, follow these steps:

    1. Use F8 during startup to start the machine in Repair Mode.
    2. Open a command prompt.
    3. Type this command:
      RD /s /q C:\Users\Jake

    Deleting a folder of this profile is permanent. You will not be able to restore it from the Recycle Bin.

  • Satellite Pro U400: How to remove folder HDD Recovery Vista running Win 8

    Hello!

    I have updated my Windows Vista to Windows 8 via the Microsoft upgrade offer. Toshiba does not support the upgrade of the Satellite PRO U400 of Win8, but it works so far, only a few features are missing...

    In this HARD drive recovery process, Vista folder remained on my partition E: (containing about 5 GB of files dated 2008...).

    I HAVE (even 2 sets of) recovery DVD for Vista.
    The infrastructure of original HDDRecory for Vista on the laptop ran defective, already long ago for some reason any.

    There is therefore no reason to keep the old HDD Recory on E: folder.
    It is completely unnecessary and I would like to remove this folder without formatting E:.
    However, although I work with admin rights, this is strictly rejected by the system of Windows 8.

    Is there any idea how to get the access rights to delete the HDDRecory folder?

    Best regards and thanks for the help!
    Gernot

    So far I didn't test these actions, but if you have administrative rights, maybe it's possible to delete certain partition and without changing the ability to create a new.
    Try to do this, use the option of disk management in computer management.

    Of course before trying to do this backup all other important data stored on that partition.

    Please let me know if it will work.

  • How set/remove folder phantom

    I moved my music folder of 25 GB on a hard drive external and internal space available on my hard drive has not decreased at all.  It seems that despite having moved the folder, the folder still exists in some form of ghost and is still consuming 25 GB of space on my internal hard drive.  How to identify and remove the ghost of my file copy music from my hard drive internal?

    Too bad; I solved the problem.  I had installed Google Music and it has created its own repository in the music folder.  I uninstalled Google Music and won the expected 25 GB of free space on my internal hard drive.

  • How can I remove folder rip of monitored files of Windows Media Player 11?

    RIP my CD to wav files on an external drive that I can use to make compilations of disc or mp3, but if I put this drive to be Windows Media Player rip folder, it includes it in the library of almost anything. As much as I have a separate player for mp3 (Yes, I don't keep my music in My Documents, Microsoft; I really don't like my music down from the ship), it includes the files wav and mp3 s, causing duplicates in my library. I only want to listen to mp3 because I use a computer as a network hub to my mp3.

    How can I delete the folder rip as a watched folder, and why Microsoft does not insist on what actually monitored? I don't see the point. I now do a temp folder just for tears and move the wav files on before turning back to my library. Pain.

    Hi dhinged,

    Ripped files are automatically added to the Windows Media Player library. On the computer, the files are in the folder specified on the tab extract music from the Options dialog box. You can change the folder at any time, but it can not be removed from monitored by Windows Media Player.
    Ref: where can I find the files that I ripped?

    I suggest you to create folders separated external hard disk (wav) files ripped to mp3 so that you can monitor folders separately.
    Ref: To change the files are controlled by the player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-items-to-the-Windows-Media-Player-library

  • Win 7: access denied to remove folder

    I just moved a folder from one drive to another.  The move was not serious, but the original folder was still there!  Then I tried to remove it manually, but I got the message "access denied."  I tried to change the property, but the system indicated "Unable to set new owner" on the record.  I have full administrator privileges, of course.

    What can I do next?

    Normally you can change the property on a folder using the account of the admin group... your. Sometimes, however, Windows are reluctant. At this stage, it is usually time to bring out the heavy artillery... the hidden administrator account.

    You activate this account via the command prompt.

    Click on the round of windows and type cmd in the search block
    Make a right click the cmd.exe above the search block and run as administrator
    in the command window, type net user administrator / Active: Yes
    Change user
    Log on to the administrator account
    Make your changes to property... If you want to change the property to this account, fill out your deletion here as well.
    Log off from the administrator account and switch to your regular account
    If you do not close, the command window is still active (if you did disconnect, reopen the administrator command prompt)
    in the command window, type net user administrator / active: No. *
    Leave the command prompt

    * If you want to keep the active administrator account (not recommended, but your choice) you don't need to disabe, but you must include a strong password. This can be done in the command line or through the control panel user accounts section. If you forgot the password you can always change it with your regular admin account.

  • [3.0.04] defined by the user to remove folder report

    Hello Forum,
    A few days ago I got a new computer and exported my reports defined by the user of the old installation. After you import these into the new facility, all reports have been put in an additional subfolder. Since I was on the German location, the reports have been made in "Berichte Berichte/user of custom. I could move a folder to the top by cut and paste, but now I want to remove the empty subfolder, but I don't have the menu options to do.
    Is it possible to get rid of that subfolder?

    Many thanks in advance,
    dhalek

    Hello dhalek,

    It is a bug. Add to the file...-sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf line AddVMOption - Duser.language = in, start new SQLDeveloper (in English), and then they have the desired menu. Then you can reset the parameter to return.

    (Sorry for my bad English. The answer in German:
    Das ist noch ein Fehler. Fügen Sie in der Datei... line die \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf AddVMOption - Duser.language = in portals, starten Sie SQLDeveloper neu (English) dann haben Sie die required Menus. Danach können Sie den parameter auf of zuruckstellen.)

  • [CS3] How to remove folder on Windows?

    Hi all

    Y at - it a function or utility that will help in the removal of windows folder?

    IFileUtility DeleteFile() will remove an empty folder on mac, but I want to know how to delete the folder on windows?

    Thank you

    Aman

    Good morning Aman Alam:

    If you want an OS solution, try one of these three commands:

    remove the link

    delete

    _rmdir

    In the documentation, the last is the one who is explicitly supported for the deletion of records.

    If you want to stay in the SDK, try creating an IdFichier with the path of the file, and then using the delete command.  It should look like this:

    PMString MyFolderPath ("C:\\abc\\def\\ghi");

    IdFichier MyFile (MyFolderPath);

    MyFile.Delete ();

    The comments in the header to say that if you want to delete a folder this way, it must be empty, and if the folder is not empty to use CoreFileUtils::DeleteDirectory ().

    HTH!

    Hello

    If these files are located in the Program files (x 86), then they are probably associated with installed programs. You must ensure that all associated programs are uninstalled before you delete this file.

    You can check with Dell directly for more information about what is contained in this folder.

  • OEM 12 c - remove folder system library software full & manual

    Good afternoon

    Had a problem with the file system on the filling OEM12c library the library itself is a NFS store on a second server. Noticed that an import a virtual machine model attempt failed because of a full file system in the software library. Of course, it's packed solid.

    Navigated to the software Center, highlighted a few large models VM and deleted. When I checked the NFS file system associated with the software Center, it was always packed. Should not the mechanism of suppression in the software Center remove the data from the NFS file system? Or is it just to remove the entry from the database for the purpose of software library?

    Is it possible to manually remove VM templates? I understand that I can go to the directory structure and launch rm - fR'ing data directories, but because of the file naming convention I'm having a time hard ID'ing what components are in the directories of 60 + in the software library.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    When you delete an entity from the software library, it is marked as deleted, but not actually deleted. To remove it completely, you must purge the software library. The action menu on the administration page of software library should show this option.
