• How to remove unwanted files from the local root folder of the site?

  Hello

  I work with Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I have finished my site but I have a lot of files in my local root folder that I don't want to upload to the server. These unwanted files are for most of the photos that I should not be used in my site. I do not understand how to download the site on the server using ftp and remote folder in Dreamweaver. I suppose that if I move the page html files to the remote folder that my photos will not be associated with these html files automatically. I used a Dreamweaver template during the construction of the site. I wish I had a folder with only the necessary files for the site (all html pages and a folder of images) to upload to the server. Is there an easy way to move all my pages and images associated with a folder or remove all unwanted files in the local root folder? As I see it now, I'll have to go through all my pages and write down each title of the photo and then go back and delete each unwanted file. This seems a lot of your time, so I thought that there must be an easier way, I hope.

  Any help or ideas will be of course very appreciated, thanks, dluthier

  I guess you mean 'work' files, not the images that you use in your Web site.

  If they are not related to all pages of your site, you are free to move by using your computer's file management tools. I can give you specific instructions, if you wish, but the short of it is that you do not keep them in the folder root of your site at all.

  In my way of working, I have a folder for each client that includes:

  • The correspondence of this client folder
  • Folder to 'Work'... the PNG images, etc., or of the images from the client
  • Record the site root

  When I get e-mail, I save the message in the appropriate folder of correspondence, I save the images etc in the folder of 'Work' to the customer and I only save images and other who have already been optimized in the Site folder, keep it as intact as possible.

  Even if the general warning must always use the files Panel to move files around, that applies to files which are linked and form part of the structure of your Site. Moving your files 'work' outside of the structure can be carried out safely in windows explore your PC.

  That said, if you need to download and there are files you want to download, or to move, you can 'hide' the in the files Panel by right-clicking on the file name and choosing 'Cloaking '.... "in the context menu that appears.

  To the point that the image files that are downloaded to the remote site will not 'automatically' be associated with your html files. That is right. Unless you have configured explicitly links or associations between files, images will not associate themselves!

  On the subject of 'automatic' way to do this, you can make a link to check on all of your local site. Window > results > Link Checker will bring up the appropriate window, which will give you the choice: broken links, external links and orphan files (this is the one you want). Use the green triangle tower at the left end of the Link Checker to set your auditor... Current Local Document or a set current site.

  If you want to make a checklist to ensure that you move them all, you can save the report by clicking on the small icon "Floppy" under the Green turn the triangle. Who will be on a file text and make up a dialog that you save the report, which will show the broken links, external links and orphaned files. After you move the files to your heart's content, rerun the link check and confirm that you moved the files you want to move. Make sure that you DON'T move files consciously... do not move the .htaccess files or .cgi files, etc.

  Who will save you from actually having to 'write' file names!

• files and folders in the windows.old folder missing

  Recently, I updated my windows 8. (a day and a half)

  Today I was moving the content in the folder windows.old to the other locations, (4 ~ 5 h ago)

  Suddenly, after the computer has restarted, the content in the windows.old folder disappeared except for users and windows folders.

  I copy the files from windows.old/Program files and I don't know that I do not delete the folder by myself.

  I read previous posting on similar problems, but that's because they kept their too long files or their disk space was not enough.

  But I have enough space in my C drive and just refreshed 1 ~ 2 days ago.

  I did not drive or any cleaning that is.

  It is unreasonable to a system to remove the backup files after a few days without noticing.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem and to recover these files.

  There are a lot of files in the previous program files, I need to recover the precious.

  Hi Junwhan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I can understand the importance of data could be in the Windows.old folder and we regret the inconvenience.

  Yes, Windows 8 has a new timer feature which will automatically delete Windows.old files after a period of 4 weeks since the upgrade. The idea is to avoid the waste of space giving you plenty of time to get what you need out of the folder and delete those that sit for months or even years.

  Since it's just been 1-2 days of update process, you can activate the "hidden objects" to see if the Windows.old files appear.

  As you open the file Explorer, click view and check the hidden items

  In addition, if you use third-party antivirus program control the log of activities see if there is any action taken at the time where the files have disappeared.  Most of the antivirus program automatically deletes the default files. You can change these settings, however, it is not recommended.

  If you use the default, Windows Defender (WD) on Windows 8.1 then WD has real-time analysis allow by default. Refer to this link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/wiki/protect_defender-protect_start/windows-defender-on-windows-8-introduction-and/f1e00106-6687-4efe-9ec0-ed9f72fabb92

  Check the history of Windows Defender:

  1. Type of user interface modern Windows defender.

  2. Click Windows Defender.

  3. Click the history tab, and then click Details.

  4. Check Date and time if you find any virus.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• I had to install a fresh install of Win7 on a Win7 computer. Old settings are in the Windows.old folder. How can I migrate the old settings for new install?

  I tried to 'upgrade' a Win7 installation using a valid Win7 upgrade CD. Because the current version is newer than the CD, it would not be upgraded. I created an installation on the old HDD. All my old programs are still on the HARD drive. I have the Windows.old folder on the HARD disk. I backed up the My Documents folder with all my data. It is now restored. I need to get the old registry settings in the registry again so I did not reinstall all my programs. How can I do this?

  Unfortunately, you will need to reinstall all your programs from their original installation discs.

  What you should have done was to download a current copy of the edition of Windows 7, you have a license for Service Pack 1 integrated and do an upgrade of the repair.

  Unfortunately, it's too late now, since you seem to have done a custom installation.

• can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

  I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

  Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.
