How to remove unnecessary files from the hard drive using Lightroom.

Hello

I use Lr 5.7 on Win7 64-bit. I would remove completely some old files and their contents that were part of my previous, very messy organization. I still have parents and masters images files, so I have no need extra junk on my hard drive.

I tried to do a right click on the file, but the only option is to delete the catalog. I saw posted solutions that say click on icon less. I don't see an icon less anywhere. As far as I know, Lightroom really doesn't want "delete me" anything.

Thank you!

Dave

  • Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

    Hello

    Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
    "Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
    Press F2 to assume. »

    I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

    Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

    I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

    Help, please

    Pete

    Hello

    This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
    This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
    It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
    It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

    I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
    I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

    Good luck

  • How to install Win7 on new hard drive and still access all the files from the hard drives of previous Vista?

    I currently have a Windows Vista PC. It has two SATA drives, one with the operating system, the one I use for storage.

    I want to buy a new SATA hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 7 top.

    I want to know the steps to follow to do this. My plan is this:

    1. turn the pc power off and open the case.

    2. remove the old hard disks

    3. plug the new empty hard drive

    4. turn on the pc and the insertion of the disc to install to Win7 for DVD-ROM drive

    5. enter in the bios and put the DVD-ROM as first boot device

    6. install win 7 on new hard drive.

    Is this correct?

    Because my next question is important:

    7. Turning off the computer.

    8 reconnect the two old hard drives. New total number of SATA drives connected = three.

    Now when I restart the PC and login to Win 7, it lists two other drives as, for example, D:\ and E:\ readers?

    How can I make this work?

    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to dual boot. I just want to have the hard drive as the master drive Windows7 and the old two drives as slaves, where I can access files as the pictures and letters.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Well, I would disconnect all drives hard current interns, then connect the new hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, re - attach the old readers as slaves and copy all the data you need to on the disc of Windows 7.

  • Remove stranded files from the hard disk to the VM package

    I have a virtual merger machine that is now 96 GB in size (database development) and it contains several virtual hard drives.  Now, I have cleared one of the drives on and outsourced (he placed on an external Firewire based drive).  Removing the abandoned drive does not reduce the size of the virtual machine.  Research in the VM package, I see that the hard disk file (vmdk) is always inside the package and using 54 GB.

    The question is so I can delete these files from the VM package or it will damage the VM?  I tried to make a backup of the VM, but right at the end that it maintains the production of an error so I would like to know if anyone has experience with this before making the jump.

    Removing a virtual drive simply deletes the references, it does not delete the virtual disk. If you do not have a snapshot (for example), it is safe to delete. Make sure get you the right one, well - I recommend you all first move somewhere else and then try to start the virtual machine. If it is used at the moment (but maybe not if it is only used by a snapshot), merge will complain.

  • Can't access the files from the HARD drive of any account on the windows computer 7

    Hello

    When I tried to connect my Western digital external hard drive to a 32-bit desktop P 3 with a Windows XP SP1, then this HARD drive is not detected. Then I tried to copy his WD driver ITS a USB Flash drive, then isntalled all the WD HARD drive was always plugged into my computer. After that, the HARD drive was identified by computer and appear in my computer. As I thought that this folder has been created by the installation of the driver, did not exist on my HARD drive before connected to the desktop computer.

    When I plugged my WD HDDagain to my laptop HP with Windows 7 SP1 64 bit and I tried open this folder, and then the main folder only opened without facing access denied, however, access to all of its subfolders, and the files inside it has been declined.

    In addition, althoguh the username admin Curernet "Mohammad" can open the folder of human "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50", as shown in the screenshot above, it can not access all of the subfolders, files in the main folder, and to access, I will need to use the scecurity tab. Thus, it would be absolute nonsense, if I want to have access to all of the subfolders, I will need to use the security for each tab.

    How do I gain access to all of the subfolders with use of the Security tab once the time (i.e. as long as all subfolders are inside the main folder, then simply use the main folder security tab?

    As long as the current username "Mohammad" can open the folder of "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50" man, "Mohammad" is so allowed system to have access to the main folder as shown in the screenshot above, then I think that the username 'Mohammad' will have to reach all subfolders as well. However, when you try to open any subfolder or file, then the current user 'Mohammad' name could not have access to all of the subfolders in the main folder and all subfolders or files opening gave me this error below (screenshots below)

    I tried to remove this main folder, however, each time, I found myself with a loop "you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.

    Original title: file access denied

    Groan.  It is so easy to fix, and you should have gotten a lot better support now.  Surprisingly, the worst suggestion came directly from the "Microsoft Support Engineer" Reda Singh, his suggestion potentially compromising the security of your computer while doing absolutely nothing to solve the problem.  Fortunately, it seems like you didn't do something quite right and so the script was not run.

    First of all, let me explain why this difficult access occurs in the first place.  Originally, you had three 'users' granted access to training, SYSTEM, Administrators, and MohammadSYSTEM allows Windows to read your disk, and retrieve things like its label.  It can also allow your antivirus software to access the drive.  Because this OPTION is enabled, Administrators is not accomplish anything, even if you are an administrator.  As long as this OPTION is enabled, this permission only works for programs, that you manually raised to run as administrator.  This leaves access to the drive depend on the last entry, Mohammad.  The problem is the SID behind Mohammad is only good on the computer, it was created, so if you connect this HARD drive on another computer, no access is allowed!  Enter the security on the other computer dialog box, you can either see something "could not read permissions" or you will see the SYSTEM, directorsand a third entry with a long series of numbers.  It's your first computer Mohammad , and it will not work on another computer.

    It is not surprising that you're facing this problem because you are using the drive on multiple computers, which is running XP that is not UAC.  Here's how to unlock a storage drive (in Windows 7) so that it can be normally accessed in any PC without any permissions problem:

    1. Press [Windows] (or click on the circles to start), and then type "user account control".
    2. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
    3. Drag the slider to "never notify".
    4. Click [OK] to confirm the changes and restart your computer.
    5. Open Windows Explorer, right-click on the affected drive, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> owner (tab)-> [change].
    6. You should be on a dialog box that asks what you want to change the owner.  Click on Administrators.
    7. Check Replace owner of subcontainers and objects, and click [OK].  Windows should start processing all the files on the disc.  This may take a few minutes.
    8. When it's done, click [OK] to close the property message and then close out of all other dialog boxes.
    9. In Windows Explorer, click the drive affected again, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> [edit permissions].
    10. Now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , click the button [delete] repeatedly to remove all permission entries.
    11. Add SYSTEM and grant full control.
      1. Click on [Add...].
      2. Type 'SYSTEM' and press [Enter].
      3. Check full control in the allow column and press [Enter].
    12. Add Administrators and grant full control.
    13. Add users and grant Full control.
    14. In the dialog box Advanced security settings , you should have three entrances of permissions: SYSTEM Administratorsand users, all granted full control.  Check "Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable from this object" and click [OK].
    15. Click [Yes] to confirm the replacement of permissions.  Again, Windows start to process all files on the disk, which may take a few minutes.
    16. When he finishes, close to all the dialog boxes and check that all records are now accessible.  You may have to refresh (or close and reopen) explore to see the changes.
    17. Assuming that it worked, we will re-enable UAC to reduce the vulnerability of temporary security, that we created earlier.  Press [Windows] and then type 'user account control '.
    18. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
    19. Drag the slider to the position below the top (position #2, by default).
    20. Click [OK] and restart your computer.  Now, the files remain accessible.

    This should straighten the permissions of your disk storage so that you can use it again.  You may need to empty the trash on this drive after changing permissions.

    Don't do this procedure on your C:\ drive, it will seriously reduce the security of your Windows installation.  This is for the readers of storage only.  If you need access to a specific file that you created to C:\, you can safely do the steps above on this issue, but never on the C:\ drive itself.  Please note that when you perform this procedure on a folder instead of a hard drive, you will need to replace this step #10:

    10. now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , uncheck the box "Include permissions can be inherited from the parent to this object" and click [delete] to confirm.  If some permission entries remain, click [Remove] until they are all gone.

    The concept is the same in Windows Vista, even if the exact steps differ from the foregoing at least Windows 8.  In Windows 8, you must also disable UAC with a registry tweak because, unlike Windows 7, UAC remains on even when the value of "Never notify", giving rise to all sorts of problems in Explorer tries to work with file permissions.

    Oh and to answer one other question I saw you ask from the beginning: this folder of the .net Framework was created by .net Framework Installer.  He breaks all the rules and frustrating unpacks his junk everywhere where it feels like.  I got it decompress on a front SD card, making the installation would take forever.  After installing the .net Framework, you probably disconnected the drive before restarting your computer, so these files let me.  Or the installation crashed and started you again.  Meanwhile, installs the failure left its Temp files behind.  It was supposed to remove the folder when the installation is complete.  You can remove safely as the folder manually.

  • How to remove unwanted files from the local root folder of the site?

    Hello

    I work with Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I have finished my site but I have a lot of files in my local root folder that I don't want to upload to the server. These unwanted files are for most of the photos that I should not be used in my site. I do not understand how to download the site on the server using ftp and remote folder in Dreamweaver. I suppose that if I move the page html files to the remote folder that my photos will not be associated with these html files automatically. I used a Dreamweaver template during the construction of the site. I wish I had a folder with only the necessary files for the site (all html pages and a folder of images) to upload to the server. Is there an easy way to move all my pages and images associated with a folder or remove all unwanted files in the local root folder? As I see it now, I'll have to go through all my pages and write down each title of the photo and then go back and delete each unwanted file. This seems a lot of your time, so I thought that there must be an easier way, I hope.

    Any help or ideas will be of course very appreciated, thanks, dluthier

    I guess you mean 'work' files, not the images that you use in your Web site.

    If they are not related to all pages of your site, you are free to move by using your computer's file management tools. I can give you specific instructions, if you wish, but the short of it is that you do not keep them in the folder root of your site at all.

    In my way of working, I have a folder for each client that includes:

    • The correspondence of this client folder
    • Folder to 'Work'... the PNG images, etc., or of the images from the client
    • Record the site root

    When I get e-mail, I save the message in the appropriate folder of correspondence, I save the images etc in the folder of 'Work' to the customer and I only save images and other who have already been optimized in the Site folder, keep it as intact as possible.

    Even if the general warning must always use the files Panel to move files around, that applies to files which are linked and form part of the structure of your Site. Moving your files 'work' outside of the structure can be carried out safely in windows explore your PC.

    That said, if you need to download and there are files you want to download, or to move, you can 'hide' the in the files Panel by right-clicking on the file name and choosing 'Cloaking '.... "in the context menu that appears.

    To the point that the image files that are downloaded to the remote site will not 'automatically' be associated with your html files. That is right. Unless you have configured explicitly links or associations between files, images will not associate themselves!

    On the subject of 'automatic' way to do this, you can make a link to check on all of your local site. Window > results > Link Checker will bring up the appropriate window, which will give you the choice: broken links, external links and orphan files (this is the one you want). Use the green triangle tower at the left end of the Link Checker to set your auditor... Current Local Document or a set current site.

    If you want to make a checklist to ensure that you move them all, you can save the report by clicking on the small icon "Floppy" under the Green turn the triangle. Who will be on a file text and make up a dialog that you save the report, which will show the broken links, external links and orphaned files. After you move the files to your heart's content, rerun the link check and confirm that you moved the files you want to move. Make sure that you DON'T move files consciously... do not move the .htaccess files or .cgi files, etc.

    Who will save you from actually having to 'write' file names!
