I can't answer, but the reason why Apple removed the ability of many empty trash is that it does not work with modern and SSD; There is no way to guarantee you're replaces any element as data locations are moved dynamically. Because it is impossible to well to empty the trash that apple decides to not fall asleep in a false sense of security.

    Hello

    Download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.

    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php

    Run revo and use it to uninstall the software.  Make a right click on the program icon you want to remove and select uninstall. Initially, this will launch the applications own routine that will probably still fail, but simply to continue Uninstall.  During the process, that you may be asked to remove the registry entries, simply select all and then click on remove.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the PC.

  • In the trash folder will not delete

    I followed the instructions using Terminal Server in this post, but I have a folder in the trash that will not clear.

    Any other suggestions? I think the record was something I deleted under the statement, when I was unable to install and update a few months ago. The folder was automatically replaced by Mac OS X then is no longer necessary, but was obviously once a system file it does not permanently delete.

    It's driving me crazy having to jump whenever I just quickly want to empty the trash... How can I get rid of the * thing?

    Check if the installation folder is still mount in the Finder. If it is to click on the little pointing up arrow to disassemble to see which releases it should be deleted.

  • I keep trying to change my cookies setting, but as soon as I close out, he return to the previous settings. How can I fix this so that making the changes will stay?

    I followed the instructions to change my settings of cookies, but whenever I click on OK and close out he returns to previous setting recall the story. How can I fix this so that the parameters iI choose will stay?

    That's ok.

    Firefox shows that the 'use the settings customized for history' if at least a history and cookie setting is not the default to make you aware that the changes have been made.

    If all the history settings are the defaults, the custom settings are hidden and see you "conservation rules: (never) don't forget history."

    "Never remember history" means that private browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" Gets a check mark.

    The default cookie settings mean that all cookies are enabled.

    Have you checked exceptions to make sure you aren't blocking cookies?

    Generator 10.1.2.2.0
    ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.5.0
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64 bit Production

    Hi all

    I want to add a footer frame in the main section of a report that will not get pushed off the page by an extensible framework above it, which can develop vertically, but will still allow the extensible framework continue on the next page (and print another foot on this page as well. I paint a blank on how to do it with anchor or frameworks encompassing etc points.

    Extend the extensible framework until the footer frame. Change the elasticity vertical expandable framework to contract or fixed. In this case, pull-out frame will be printed until the foot of the page and will then continue on the next page.

    I hope this helps.
