How to remove the trash on my computer dell laptop latitude who has windows xp?

I am an elderly person not at savvy, computer then pls forgive me for asking what may seem like a stupid question. I need to know how to clear the trash on my laptop. It's a Dell latitude Windows xp. And I thank you all in advance for any help rendered on this!

There are several possibilities.

If the file is on a network resource or a removable device like a USB key, just delete Deletes without going through the trash.  It sounds like what is happening in your situation (which is your "DVR photo/video plug and play" device?).

Look carefully at the message when you press the delete key - he probably said, "Are you sure that you want to delete 'Filename'?" rather than "Are you sure that you want to send 'filename' in the trash?

Another, less likely, causes:

If the file is too large, you should get a message saying that the file will not fit in the trash and delete will delete everything without moving to the trash.  I don't think that I've never seen a 'too big' file is to be deleted without the warning message.

What is "too big"?  By default, the Recycle Bin is set at 10% of the size of your disk (partition).  If you go into my computer, you will see different drives displayed.  In general, you will use 'drive Local (c) '.  If you right-click on this icon and select Properties, you will see the used space, free space and capacity.  Your trash for this default player is 10% of the 'capacity' - but with a catch: he will not exceed 3.99 GB no matter how great the drive.

You can see the actual amount of the space allocated to the trash by clicking right on it and then select Properties.  Depending on the number of drives in your computer, you can see several tabs here, including a 'Global' tab and one for each individual unit.

A more even less likely cause:

In addition to size, the Recycle Bin properties tabs also have a box that says "do not move files to the Recycle Bin.  Delete the files when they are deleted immediately.  I doubt that you have this box checked, because then the behavior you describe should occur for all files, not just some of them.

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Of the System Volume Information folder cannot be deleted. It is a system folder and user operations cannot be performed on him (as the name change, deletion, movement, access/change properties).
    You can delete the folder Trash-1000. It is created if the player is connected to a Linux system. It's where the deleted files/folders, so SHIFT + DELETE are stored is not used or completely deleted from the Recycle Bin. The 1000 is the UDI of the user account that created the file.

    Display HP HDX X 16-1370US Premium Notebook PC goes black but will come back by changing the angle of the screen. An external monitor works.  I think that it is a loose connection or frayed wire and the desire to remove the back casing of the screen.  I can lift the bottom but the sides and the top seem to be bound more than just a snap tight fit.

    I took a screwdriver blade thin and directed to the rear of the screen and applied pressure of lifting.  The back is free and come off that way.

  • Cannot figure out how to remove the recipient's e-mail address when sending mail with Windows 10.

    Cannot remove the e-mail address of the entity to which I address email. I have read the tutorials and instructions and tried all the options of Thunderbird, but I can't find the key to the repression in any Options or advanced settings with the latest version of Windows 10. The illustration of Thunderbird Support for this function does not match my choice of Tools/Options/Advanced/Composition in address book. I'm obviously on something, but I also tried settings/Composition & addressing / Global dial in account preferences.

    You must use the e-mail address of the recipients to send mail. There is no option to use something else that the receiving server will have no idea who 'mother' is only [email protected].

    Hi DeannaKing,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand from the description of the problem you are getting pop-ups on the Windows 7 computer access Manager.

    Please provide more information on this issue.

    1 have you ever had the password?

    2. you are the administrator of the computer?

    3. what browser you use on the computer?

    If you use Internet Explorer see the steps.

    Access Manager is a tool that blocks or allows websites specific, based on the ranking of the site content.

    You can disable content advisor by following these steps.

    (a) open Internet Explorer. Go to tools and click on Internet Options.

    (b) select the tab content and here if your Content Advisor is enabled, you will find a button to turn it off.

    (c) click on disable.

    I need to know how to remove the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded tonight and my computer does not have this edit bar little to work with, so I can download the reader good Adobe and my internet was screwed up, since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I want just the old version of this back because I can't download the Adobe stuff which is necessary to protect my computer against hackers apparently not. It would have been nice to know he had a problem with the new update of Firefox BEFORE I downloaded it. I have Vista, which is usually a problem with Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run a lot of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
