How to get rid a widget that is stuck on the desktop?

As you can see, in the case of dashboard, widget highlighted is the right and the X only works on that one.

I don't know how it got stuck on the desktop, restarting does not help, and I can't get rid of it.

I've read other old threads here, but being old, old solutions do not work in El Capitan.

Someone has an idea? Thank you!

Solved.

Went into system preferences > Mission Control > Dashboard (overlay, space, off) - OFF - overlay and then again.

The additional widget was inside the dashboard and I managed to close it with the X.

    Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

    You can also remove the adware manually by following the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    After that, make sure that your default search provider is set to the one you always use. To do this, open Safari - Preferences - research.

    Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'

    Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.

    Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.

    Also, I think it would be a good idea to install AdBlock.

  • Restore the problem - how to get rid of the corrupt database?

    People,

    Some dumb developers managed to trash on our Oracle database by making a mistake in SQLDev.

    This database has been / is using the "autobackup" such as proposed in the installation wizard.

    For some reason, it seems that the restoration is not complete and robust.

    I get an error when mounting the database

    ORA-01248: 5 file has been created in the future of incomplete recovery
    ORA-01110: file of data 5: < path to file >

    not sure I understand what happened but I can't live without this specific database assuming that others are ok.

    An Advisor from how to get rid of this specific database and enjoy the rest of the server?

    The nest step will be to understand why, AutoSave does not what it is supposed to do...

    This is Oracle 11 g standard on Oracle Linux.

    Hello
    Before you start can you confirm that you have a backup somewhere to be able to do a new restore?
    (please do one now)
    If so, you can try to delete datafile 5 of the database.

    Startup mount
    change the drop offline database datafile 5;
    ALTER database open resetlogs;

    If you are not sure that the corruption/inconsistency in the schema sys (or controlfile) went please do an export of relevant patterns and re - create the database (as indicated by damorgan).
    Let us know your results.
    Kind regards

  • How to get rid of a popup offering to remember my password that appears in the upper left corner?

    Yes, this popup is annoys me no end! It appears each time I fill in a password anywhere! It is more or less said: "Do you remember this password?". first of all I didn't know what program did this, but now I know that it is Mozilla Firefox. Why so many of (and undesirable too) want to pop-up windows to 'help' when in fact what they do is irritate the person and not even identify the program. It is a parody of the worst kind! You do not?

    If anyone knows how to get rid of it forever, please let me know? Thank you very much! Adelaa

    If you want to just disable this for a specific domain, you can click the drop-down list and click "never for this site". Otherwise, you can go to the Security section of the firefox preferences (enter ' subject: preferences #security ' in the address bar) and uncheck "remember passwords for sites".
