    How can I delete a file on my iOS device that I downloaded from my iCloud? I just want to keep the Preview on my iOS device without using my storage iOS for the entire file. This means that the file is still in the iCloud and available to be downloaded to any device.

    Thank you in advance to the community!

    You are welcome.

    Before considering the upgrade to Windows 7, there are a lot of things to consider.

    See if Dell has Windows 7 drivers for your model computer.

    http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriversHome/NeedProductSelection

    Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=20

    And also to use the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    To your original problem, you can try this scan:

    "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    The only problem is that it do not work if you have serious problems of file system.

    That's when you need Installion repair to fix things with a Microsoft DVD as above or replace the files, but you still need this DVD. Catch 22!

    Try it and see how you go with it.
