Ghost files - cannot delete Trash: error 50

Hello

I have trouble to delete some files from Ghost that appeared in my garbage can:

By emptying the Recycle Bin, 50 pops up an error: "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."

I looked at lots of different topics already, nothing works. I place them in a folder and because of the different actions on the file (because the files always come with an error (cannot rename (focus error), too long to be moved, etc. file name)):

I have so far:

  • Tried to delete the files with
    • iTrash
    • DaisyDisk
  • Repaired "Macintosh HD" with my account disk utility.
  • Fixed "Macintosh HD" using disk utility from the recovery partition (Cmd - R to start)
  • Check the file permissions in the file properties
  • Because disk utility is not the "Fix permissions" button (in El Capitan), I fixed the permissions with DiskWarrior.
  • Tried to move the file to a disk and then format the drive, but OS X Copy the folder instead of moving.
  • By using all the methods of the command prompt, I found on other messages of the forum (I don't want to navigate through my history to list them).

Yet the 50 error is still popping! Currently the thought of another workaround solution...

I know that the following would allow to settle, but I'd rather not have to do:

  • Reinstall from backup Time Machine prior
  • Create a new account and delete my old account.

Someone at - it a technique to solve this problem?

Thank you

James

OK, I found a nice workaround with iCloud drive and an iOS device.

Here's what I did:

  1. Move the folder containing Ghost files to my iCloud Drive in the Finder and wait 30 seconds to display in the player to iCloud on my iOS device application 9.
  2. Remove my iCloud drive to iCloud preferences window in Mac system preferences
  3. Delete the iCloud drive folder using the iOS app
  4. Reconnect to iCloud Drive on my Mac.

Good riddance!

  • Ghost objects / cannot delete in AE

    What adobe hell made it to the last version of the AE? I had this problem a lot since the last update.

    I quite often CTRL-Z to go back to something I did I don't like, quite a few times actually, and I saw two things.  ((1) things appear in the preview, it was not IN MY TIMELINE (see screenshot), and 2) the effect that I applied is shown in the preview, but does not show when it is rendered our.

    I suspect this is a preview-bug, something that has changed since he is no longer a "RAM Preview', and I hate the fact that he wears on the preview, while it has not before. From any way to change?  But above all, I would like to know why the things I undid stay on screen, when they are not in my time line...

    (Screenshot: I have everything OF, then, WHERE is this text generated by on the right tuba?) Yes I put in it, but then "undid" it.  except AE still think it's there!)

  • Cannot install itunes. Older version of apple software update is a ghost file.

    I had itunes on our laptop a few years ago and uninstalled through the normal route of the program uninstall Windows 7 a few years back.  Now I am trying to reinstall itunes and it comes up with the error "failed to remove the older version of Apple software update Contact your technical support group. "When I go in uninstall programs it shows"Apple Software Update"but when I click on uninstall, it says:"the configuration data for this product are damaged. Please contact the support staff. "When I search the file it's no-do. It is a ghost file.  Deleted, but still think it's there.  I tried to run "from the mistakes of audit" on the disc. I tried using Unlocker that does not show the program, says it removed and it is in the trash but still the same error. I contacted Microsoft and she ran at a command prompt to check for problems, (I do not remember the guest, she used) but also, it does not work.  How can I get rid of this ghost file?

    There are two former programs that show in uninstall program - one is called Apple Application Support and the other is updated to Apple, both installed software on 31/03/2012.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Try the tool MS difficulty under the second box to see if that can see and remove ASU. Otherwise, delete all other components and install everything except ASU proceeding to install missing components. iTunes didn't need ASU to work.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

    Thank you Ganesh and Hetti.  I just finally deleted my ghost file.  I used the safe mode and cmd.

    I went into the directory of downloads in the BACK, the used command DIR / X to find out the name of the file.

    He was ~ 1 at the end of the file name.   I used DEL filename ~ 1 and the file disappeared.  I checked the

    trash and he wasn't there either.  I rebooted the computer and found no trace of the file.

    The controls were as follows,

    CD C:\users\my name\downloads

    dir / x (to find the full file name,)

    del (to remove the file)

    I could probably use alternative command

    del *. *.

    Thank you again and maybe it helps someone else.  I ran the control with the repair disc, but that did not remove the ghost file.  I could also not delete the downloads folder.  Create the same named file with 0 bytes not working anymore.  I tried the latest version of Mandrake then.

  • Cannot delete the file/directory/app in Finder

    I tried to update WhatRoute but something went wrong. I rebooted the update and that worked well, app works.

    However, since that time I have a file in my trash, called 'WhatRoute.app' which cannot be deleted. Finder said "cannot be deleted because it is currently in use". Activity monitor shows nothing. Restarted several times, also I tried mode secure but nothing helped.

    Tried to use Terminal using the "sudo rm... / WhatRoute.app", but get an error message indicating that it was a directory that cannot be deleted.

    While it is now? an application in use or directory? And how do I get rid of him?

    Help, please!

    Make sure that Whatroute isn't in the login items, then restart the mac and try to empty the trash again.

  • Can't empty trash - error that the file is in use

    I noticed a recent bug that seems to be the case with PDFs, I opened in preview. When I close the file (cmd + w), but not to leave the program overview and then remove the file, when I go to empty the trash, I get an error message that the operation cannot be completed because the file is always used. I am only able to empty the trash immediately after a restart. I wonder if there is a way to fix this error!

    Thank you!

  • Cannot delete files and music always there but not display upward when I connect to the computer?

    Hi all

    Recently, I had a lot of problems with the music does not or don't play not I decided to delete all my e260 music and start again.  That's where the real problem started.

    For some reason I can't delete three of the albums on my player.  Each of the albums have what appear to be corrupted in them files. My computer does not recognize the file type and file extension is given so I don't know what they are.  Each file "appears" to 4 GB in size but that may not be appropriate for my e260 is obviously only 4 GB in size!

    Whenever I try to delete them I get an error message reading "cannot delete file: cannot read the source file or disc»

    I tried to update the firmware, reset e260 to factory default settings and made 'restore' thingy (where you hold registration and plug it into the computer, etc.) and these files are still there.

    After reading this thing of disk checking on this forum, I did this.  I was then able to remove two of the albums, but when I tried to delete the third album renamed 'a' and the damaged file shows 0 bytes in size, but I still can not remove.  However, I can move it to the folder music to any other folder.  I just can not remove!  When I do, I get an error message saying "cannot delete f: cannot find the file specified. '.  Be sure to only specify the path and the correct name.

    After all that I started my e260, and now I find that 2 other albums are always on it, even if they do not display any where when I connect it to the computer.  I can see and read these albums on the drive, and they seem well, they do not appear to be there when I plug it into the computer and look for them in windows Explorer.  The music folder is not hidden also.  These two albums are not part 3 albums that I could not remove, they are actually part of the new substance started sort of all these problems with the music does not and is not only now that they are the display upwards and play but are not appear when connected to the computer!

    I know it's probably not a lot of information but can someone tell me how to fix this?  If not, can I just format the * bleep * thing or I'll then have an e260 dead?

    See you soon,.

    PKFFW

    PS: Sorry for the long windedness of this post.

    Format will not remove the firmware, which is the operating system of the Sansa. It removes only the content that you have added. It will go back to what it was when it was new out of the box.

    MTP does not matter if you have never used it. The ghost album can be just a list remains in your database file. Nevertheless, we must get rid of this corrupt file, so Format is probably your best option.

    For what it's worth, to connect with the PSG, your computer needs Windows Media Player 10 or 11 is installed. XP comes with WMP 9, so he will not see the Sansa in MTP mode. unless you have updated.

  • Cannot delete folders under MY FILES in Organizer-

    Running Windows 8.1 and items 12.1.

    I tried the solution that I found in this forum about delete or rename the psa.prf file (Organizer folder cannot be deleted).  I have the same situation as this person with 2 folders. These folders do not exist on my computer. I have remove the folders elements but put them in the trash. I uninstalled items several times and reinstalled but 2 files always appear in the Organizer.

    Apparently items cannot cope with their loss.  I created new folders and name them even with the same content, but I can remove them yet. (Although the type appears in black now).  I get an error message that the files cannot be deleted.

    I do not have a file named psa.prf on my HD. I have a file called psa.  I tried to delete and rename. No luck. There was another preferences file in the folder called APDPeferences Organizer.  I removed that but not luck

    I tried to reset the default preferences in the Organizer... but these two folders are still there.

    I tried to establish several scenarios of organizing items 12/12.1 to try to reproduce your situation, but strikes me a problem or another.
