How to delete the folder "My pictures" in XP?

What is the fastest way to empty of 'My images' infected files after antivirus software do not work.  Delete 'my images' will affect other directories or file systems operation?

Hello Scholars65, welcome.

Remove the directory will not cause adverse effects, however, can manually delete you the content inside? You may need to activate the list of «files & hidden folders»

You can do this through:

1. click on START
2. click on "Control Panel."
3. double click on "Folder Options".
4. click on the "View" tab
5. check "Show hidden files & folders".
6. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right

Let us know what happens

Thank you!

  • If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery

    If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery

    Hi AmjadPasha,

    If you are referring to a local file, you can check the trash.

    If you are referring to a network share, then there is very little that can be done.

    You can try using recovery software/services of third parties to retrieve the file.

    You can use your favorite search engine to search for third-party software.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How can I delete the folder "Creative Cloud Files" from my PC?

    I never used Creative Cloud storage and probably never will be. I have no files in the folder, and it is therefore irrelevant.

    It appeared in the file Explorer, 2 days ago under/c:/users/ME... and it added a shortcut to itself in the Favorites section in the file Explorer.

    I deleted the favorite and the folder, but the next day, when I turned on my laptop, both were appeared again.

    Same thing again today.

    Is there a way to permanently delete the folder, or at least stop the favorite shortcut to reappear?

    The simple solution was presented above by Oskari Oksanen, just change the location of the file of CC users files / your name to another folder.

    It is not the perfect solution, but it's fast and easy.

  • How to delete photos in "My pictures" without duplication on them and more.

    My photos

    How to delete photos in "My pictures", without reproducing again and again... as hundreds of each photo?

    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Oooops... multiple copies...

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

    Now the remaining files should be your originals.

    If you delete the wrong files... recover from
    your basket now.

  • How to recover the folder of junk mail on Outlook Express 6

    I do not receive email messages sent to a group address list but I get when individually sent to my address (the same as the address of the list). It was suggested than group emails maybe is go to the "Junk e-mail" folder but my OE 6 program does not have a junk folder. I do not inadvertently delete the folder in the past. Can you advise me if Outlook Express 6 must have such a record, and if so, how can I get it back?

    The junk e-mail filter could be on the server.  Can connect to the mail via webmail server?  If so, you can adjust the server spam filters to receive these messages.  See your email provider's website and see if they have this ability.
