How to delete files orphans on the equallogic virtual volume

It is in reference to article kb of VMware to the address following:

https://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2108332

So what commands or GUI options are available to remove volume virtual orphaned objects?

vSphere indicates the virtual volume in a vacuum but a space used 53 GB to 1 TB. The equallogic gui shows several virtual machines with 0 Mb in size associated with the storage container. Any attempt to remove gui and ssh results in the following error 'storage container must be empty to be deleted. The storage container is also showing that it incorporates snapshots and related clones that I can't access.

  • How to delete files on the recovery disk?

    I'm running out of space on my recovery disk.  I noticed that the compress and the index of the boxes are both checked.
    I would like to know what to do and how to delete files on the recovery drive.

    Thank you for your help.

    It is very unwise to delete these files, because it is your ONLY way to recover your PC in the event of catastrophic problem with the operating system that cannot be repaired by returning your PC to set up "out of the box.  In fact, most of the PC with a recovery partition you cannot save data on that partition.  If you are still determined to do the easiest to remove these data is boot safe mode with command prompt.  Set up the focus on the recovery partition and delete everything form the command line.  I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be remove your data from the recovery Partition because without falling back on you should have to be pretty savvy to reload Vista and install all the drivers on your own.  Locutys of Borg

    Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

    rfitzpa877

    , This does not resolve the (ARRRG!) system volume information files, but their size is reduced to nothing...  If someone does not know how to remove these files, I would like to know how.  I formatted one of the disks and apparently not one of these folders have yet.  In fact, I bluff on that partition and formatted & that seems to have managed to get rid of these pesky files on this drive.  Am I the only one who thinks I should have control over my own system?  What is the point of having administrator rights?  Maybe it's time we give administrator rights.  I am not at all impressed by it.  From the looks of the number of points of view on this thread, I'm not the only one with this problem.  If I want to disable the protection and to get rid of the files, why I can't?

    You just started to fall on this real guilty about "kits of infected roots.  Lets imagine that a crime is committed in a House.  who is instantly a suspect?  for example, wife disappears > husband is the first to be questioned.

    In the case of a MS OS Microsoft has really strengthened WAY out of bounds. For half a year that I traced the issue to them anyone who or what that monitor my progress erased my data and sent me to a goose chase 6 months have no opportunity to even connect online for days or weeks I was left down my school because I was not able to turn on a computer to write an assignment or a test with any reliability.
    Who got this abuse power?  They think we did by agreeing to there life private terms or agreeing to use icons 'newer and better '.  They rely solely on the low bar of duty of good faith to steal data, record and claim it as their webcam or any ones and zeros, they feel that theirs with an omniscient power of Microsoft update.  Why is Microsoft blameless when a blue screens after a system command to reboot to make effective change OS
    ? Read the comments around KB976902 and the "fix" KB25533552.  They have simply to virtualize all XP sp3 or later PC.  Using video to measure the ability of the PC performance and disk space querying Microsoft then begins to do what they darn well for as long as they wanted regardless of evil as being spent in graduate school.
    This virtual virus haunts me, but he gave up because I happened to scan hundreds of pages of documents trying to burn DVDs or whatever it is to preserve the legal evidence (paralegals).
    I had scanned drive my license to and many other pages that I think someone out there shows some mercy, at least for a little while.  Behaviour cruel and unusual of sadistic implementation of the 'virtual' virus left me broke and homeless.
    Be aware, WBEM, Panther, winsxs and scoring system they say is in our interest or as these naïve technicians say blindly which is just one possible use of the 'virtual' Virus  Visual Basic and root or environment variables allows them to alter the remote registry or to set a timer to attack even when unplugged on the net.  They have no interest in the individual retail customer or small business owner.   Whenever you read "recommended", it is recommended to allow them to invade and infect their own way.
    What virtual "features" are active I really don't know, when there is literally no control over any aspect of the PC.  They could using Adobe Flash network of peer-to-peer "characteristic" of the network or activate Bluetooth to create a network almost undetectable, replacement of NICs with NDIS based pilots allows them to use USB drivers to emulate any hardware driver, even turn off the LEDS of different.  Only because of the vibration of a drive external hard started to peel the onion.
    I can bet my next "update" will be what I call and copyright 'virtual Virus '.
    It is my opinion based on my experience real and even documenting months and months of troubleshooting the data I recorded full time has of course changed or deleted.   These facts showed me that Microsoft et al. will do anything even my personal destruction for nothing more than try to get control of my own personal private property.
    By diligent and hundreds of thousands of hours, I am convinced all my personal files are monitored without legal or judicial supervision.
    So yes, deleting these files is not only the best of the options, it leaves the possibility of attacking or anything be it launch at will and, therefore, it IS THE ONLY OPTION.
    Hidden in the desktop.ini, fonts and all files are really seeds of the worst violations of privacy, not yet imagined by most computer experts or instructions.  Our worst enemy is so once more one inside not the perception of the public of the hacker tracking.
    I submit, piracy of Microsoft operating systems is now a 2nd Amendment RIGHT because they used their OS as a weapon as damaging as any gun could be data that they killed.
    By doing so and by my expert opinion and the notation of the inalienable right of the privacy of the citizens of CA. Microsoft has eliminated any claim of a right to valid author or license because they use EULA another company in they create and manage folders.
    The 'virtual' Virus is clever that, as long as it is insidious.  If they deny then I ask the State of the art and my invention.  I can then request the return in court.  My remedy supposed today
    ?  I am only allowed the cost of the operating system regardless of the magnitude of the fraud and damage that they did to me
    It is clearly stated in the EULA that they believe is valid.
    Until one day I hope to be able to have my day in court before a jury educated I'm destined to become outcast among our society.
    What a difference a year and this little compassion to tears shed my life dissolves around me.
    My confidence they would eventually do the right thing has turned out to be my worst enemy
    .

  • Cannot delete files locked in the temp folder

    I emptied regularly delete all files in the temp via the function folder in the Tools menu of IE9 and also by searching on folder and deleting the contents of the temporary Local AppData file in the users folder.

    Ten days ago, I found there are some files in the folder temporary AppData that were locked and could not be removed. This only happens in a user account, and this isn't an administrator account. Opening of properties on any of the files by checking the Security tab, I find I am wierdly the sole owner of the file, but have limited permissions. I tried to change the permissions to get total control and then remove the file, but that did not work, nor has anything else I could think of. This included the stop of all open applications and disconnects all users.

    Other file properties:

    -Open with "Windows Shell Commo" - little matter that is.

    -Similar names to ~ DF38C18158B32C1039. TMP

    -Attributes: ATI

    -The size is small (512 bytes, for example)

    -No previous versions

    Normally the files in this folder have names like this except without the ~.

    After having in vain tried everything I could think of to delete these files, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller, who managed to remove all the files locked in the record at the time.  However, the problem resurfaced shortly after and this time Revo Uninstaller did not work.

    I spent a few days of research on the net and try different options without success until I stumbled on a recommendation to go into Control Panel, search for Java, open its settings menu and refuse authorisation for Java to back up the data on my computer.  It worked - I went back in the folder, the files were no longer locked, I was able to remove them as I usually do and I had no other problems with the locked files. Until yesterday.

    I double-checked the settings of Java to ensure that authorization still denied to save data on my computer. I don't remember now if I set permission to refuse when I checked again. I tried then to Revo Uninstaller again, but he failed again to remove these files locked. I noticed today that the date for all files is last July 15.  It seems (so far) no new files have been generated, but I still cannot delete locked files 51 of my computer.  My biggest concern, obviously, is security.  I don't want to locked files including origins, functions and activities that I do nothing on my computer, especially if I'm unable to remove them.

    I want to know how to remove these files, what caused do them appear in the first place and how to prevent them from happening again.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for this suggestion, Oberwald. It came a little too late, however.  Finally, it occurred to me to try my anti-virus software file shredder function and he managed to remove the locked files.

    I believe now these locked files were likely due to some kind of malware - after shredding, my desktop Recycle bin flashed repeatedly icon when I shut down the computer. Also, after have logged you in today, I find everything runs much faster and no sign of keylogging.  Seem to be back to normal.

    I was able to save the link and it will try in the future if necessary.

    Thanks again!
