How to remove the .cab files? Is it safe to remove?

* Original title: .cab files

My drive is almost full (137/149 Gb), I ve try to clean with different programs, but only got rid of abt 2 GB. Now the WinDirStat program shows that 52% or 70 GB is taken up by the 'Unknown' wire CAB FILES.  That means these and is - it safe to try to remove them?

It depends on what they are and where they are.  The CAB files are usually left overs from the installation of things like updates.  You can run the Disk Cleanup Wizard (which is fairly careful about what he deletes) should remove them safely.  Make sure you check "clean up system files" when you run it

BTW it is a free 3rd party app called Treesize (by Jam software) gives you much more information on the "unknown" and more detail in the larger files, etc.  Looks like this

    How to exclude the missing files or library locations that are on a network backup and restore of Windows 7 Professional drive. To give you more information, I have photos stored on a network drive to the following address: Wirelessspace\LaCie\MyPhotoGallery\Family. This folder is a location of library under the images. Because this folder is on a network drive backup backup not file Wizard.

    In addition, the following file locations is not found because they no longer exist. So why the backup wizard continues to look for and how to remove the backup set? I guess the error code following each line means simply that records cannot be found. Is this correct?

    Hello..

    Well you can do it in one of 2 ways: -.

    1 put the tablespace contains the data offline files, copy the data index files to the new location, and then change the database rename ' old/file/name/location of the file' to 'new/file/name/locatio. put storage space online. Completed successfully, remove the file data from the old location.

    2. in the hope that these two data files belongs to 1 tablespace and tablespace that contains only the index, you can create a tablespace with its data on the new mountpoint file again, then rebuild the index of aid (dynamic script)

    change owner.index_name tablespace new_tbs_name n parallel reconstruction;

    Once all the indexes have been moved to the new tablespace you can drop the previous old tablespace.

    I would prefer 1.

    Hi all

    Bad, I need your help! I'm trying to access all my text edit files, which I had saved on ICloud.

    It would be good to have your suggestion.

  • Re: How to save the video file to a DVD-R for Equium A200

    I have the Equium A200. Someone can tell me how to save the video file to a DVD-R on my computer in order to use it later, or use it in windows movie maker and must not simply copy on another DVD-R right?

    My cursor also has disappered in the suite of windows media, that makes life quite difficult.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    You mean, you want to copy the original DVD movie to HARD drive?
    Well, you can copy the contents of the entire DVD to the HARD drive. It means that you have to copy a lot of data.
    I would recommend shrinking the DVD movies using a tool called DVD shrink.
    It would decrease the data and would also copy the content to the HARD drive.

    But if you want to use these files later in windows movie maker, so you must convert these using a 3rd party tool.
    Google a bit and you should find many free applications that would help you to do this work.

  • How to move the MSWMM files and keep the data on my computer?

    I downloaded digital film from my camera to a destination on my D drive as a file MSWMM (collections), and whenever I try to move the downloaded film (collection), it does not recognize the movie more.

    How to move the MSWMM files and keep the data on my computer?

    The mswmm file is the project file, not a video.
    Think of it as a recipe for a cake, it only tells you what to do with the ingredients, but does not include the ingredients.
    The mswmm file tells the computer to look in a certain folder to use a video or audio file.
    If you move the file, then MM knows not where is the file, then you must tell it, by right clicking on a red x on the timeline and then choose search for the file.

  • How to shorten the music file to match the selected slides

    I created a slide show with windows vista movie maker.  How to shorten the music files to match both of the selected slides.  Using the fade out option did not work

    Hello

    You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    (a) open your filmmaking program and create the slide show using your photos. Choose the options you want for changes between the photos and the duration of each photo display. If you need help, then check out the help file in your theater program.

    (b) open the import file dialog box. In Windows Movie Maker, it is in the part of '"movie tasks', section"vidéo Capture." Browse your files to find the mp3 file you want to import, select and import it. Will import it into filmmaking program but it will not in the video.

    (c) search for the file in your filmmaking program and import it into the film. In Windows Movie Maker, you can drag and drop the file in the position in the window of time movie online, where you want that song to start playing.

    (d) scroll through the timeline until the end of the song. Drag the end of the song in a position to match the end of your slide show. This will be the end of the song at the same time exactly like your slide show.

    (e) read your film completely from the beginning to the end and ensure that everything is with the song the way you want that there. If you are satisfied with the finished product, then export the movie to the right format and the file will be ready to play.

  • How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

    After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

    Hope you can help in this case...

    It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

    Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.

  • How to replace the SWAP file. SYS that bulky and bulky?

    Hello

    My question is how to replace the SWAP file. SYS that is bulky and bulky?

    Is it possible to "BRING" different "restore points" as separate files and reduce in size for the management and portability?:

    The simple answer to your question is no!
