I can't delete a canceled download...

... (Ironically, it was a new version of firefox) in Firefox v4 Windows XP Professional. I have also already tried safe mode and have administrator privileges, it always says cannot delete because another program is using, even when no programs (including firefox) are open. redownloading does not either, because it is automatically renamed. Also, I deleted all temporary files and errors of my system registry using CCleaner, still no go.

  • I can't delete or cancel a print job

    I sent a photo to print on my printer HP Photosmart B209-am.  When I waited more than an hour so that he could print and nothing happens I tried to remove it.  The State said "delete" for several hours.  I ran the Task Manager to cancel, I rebooted my PC Windows 7 64 bit and restarted the printer.  Nothing will clear the print job.  What can I do next?  I can not print anything else, until it is resolved.  Thank you!

    Hello

    In Control Panel, open administrative tools and select abuse.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right-click, select Properties, and then click the stop button.  Now, go to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and remove the work inside this folder.  Restart the computer and you should be ok.

    You may need to click on a prompt to acquire the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Hope this helps,

  • Can I delete files Adobe downloaded after installation?

    I just managed to install Production Premium CS6 upgrade to my PC. I'm still all files downloaded from this facility and previous downloads (LS7.7, set up the folders, etc...). I backed up

    all of these files. Should I still them on my computer? I want to free disk space they take, I guess that they are not used as part of the program. Thank you.

    If the installation went well and you have them backed up, it is safe to remove them. Just to be safe, I'd start each program. due to license restrictions some components run only serialized and if you have already used a trial of the any products, there may be a 'post-install install' required for the activation of some of these features as for example mochaAE. In the past, that this was the case for all MPEG CoDecs, too, although this particular restriction should not apply to CS6.

  • How can I delete an episode of podcast in iTunes?

    View general podcast (I don't know what else to call it) I downloaded several of the same episode, mainly because there was nothing to indicate that the episode was downloaded or where he went to. I finally found them in the menu device in settings / podcasts. Of course, I only want one and delete the other. There is no context menu for podcasts, without deleting the commands in the Edit menu. How can I delete a podcast downloaded?

    If you are looking to podcasts via the menu devices, you watch episodes synchronized or downloaded on your iDevice, not to what's in the iTunes library.

    To remove the device, do it on the device. To remove iTunes, go to Podcasts like the kind of media, and then select in the sidebar, episodes like the display option. If you don't see the sidebar, activate it in the view menu. When you are in episodes view, you can right click to remove.

    How can I delete a file on my iOS device that I downloaded from my iCloud? I just want to keep the Preview on my iOS device without using my storage iOS for the entire file. This means that the file is still in the iCloud and available to be downloaded to any device.

    In practice, I want to be able to scan and download through my documents located in my iCloud and once I didn't need them on my iOS device I would like 'load their return to the cloud' to my storage of the iOS device is not used.

    The only way I found to do that once a file has been downloaded is to remove it and add it again through either from Finder on Mac or iCloud.com.

  • I can't delete the post of WinRar on my files that were downloaded and now I can't get anything to open

    original title: open my files

    I can't delete the post of WinRar on my files that were downloaded and now I can't get anything to open

    Please describe your problem in more detail. Tell us that that "cannot delete" means. Exactly how do you try? What happens when you try? If you get an error message, please quote verbatim.

    Or do you mean 'change' expansion, rather than "delete." Have you tried?

    And one last point: If the files have the rar extension, what are rar files. The file format does not remove or change the extension.  If you remove or change the extension, they will always be rar files. A rar file can only be successfully opened by Winrar or a compatible program.

  • Webroot security found a file that is a threat to my system. Serial.sys Can I delete this file and download a new serial.sys or is this a file I do not have?

    My malwarebites program keeps blocking a signal out to various websites... When I installed and ran the program of webroot it detected the file serial.sys as a threat similar to my system.  I'm assuming that this file is probably infected.  I guess my first question is whether or not, it is a necessary file?

    If it is can I delete and download a new serial.sys?

    Thank you very much

    Hi John Sw140,.

    Microsoft Windows serial should be located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers . This file serial.sys is safe and should not be considered a threat to the computer. The serial.sys process is part of Microsoft Windows and should not be removed or prevented from loading at each loading Windows. This could cause errors or Windows to stop working.

  • These files download can be deleted?

    I have Windows XP in my downloads folder, I have 2 unknown files, reads:

    X 12-30196 Microsoft Corp.

    the other:

    X 13-11296 self-extracting Cabinet Microsoft Corp.

    they are large files, and I want to remove them, but don't know if they are part of my system, can I delete them without harming my operating system?

    Files in your downloads folder should not be necessary for Windows run.

    I would like just to copy them to a CD or DVD, then delete them.

    Try to use Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml this programs often works when the normal functions of remove Vista not work correctly.

    If this does not work, you need to change the permissions and ownership on the file in order to have all the rights and the property (even on the inherited rights).  Then try Unlocker.  Here's the information to help you do.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  • Can I delete the download of Service Pack 2 before installing to free up disk space?

    I got a Vista Service Pack 2 downloaded a notification and is ready to install.  I have also received notification of other updates in the past which have been downloaded and ready for installation, but I chose not to install.

    • These downloads occupy disk space?
    • If so, can I delete to free up additional disk space?
    • I'm on a laptop with only 1.5 GB of free space after the disk compression.  A real problem.
    • If I can remove the updates downloaded, how can I find them?  And what is the procedure?
    Thank you

    I don't think it's a good idea to run Wista without installing SP2 and all the essential and important updates - but the decision is yours.  Here's how to delete downloads prior to installation if thay have not already installed it.

    Stop the automatic updates service

    Click Start, choose Run (or type it in the search field).
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click on stop.
    Stopping the service will take a moment.

    Delete the content of the download folder
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
    Click OK.
    Open the download folder.
    Delete all the contents of the download folder (or just update you do not want to install)
    Close the window.

    Start the automatic updates service
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click Start.
    Starting the service will take a moment.

    By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed the downloaded updates (or those you selected).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • can I delete old files from the version of the download folder?

    Original title: Deleting files from the download folder"

    I have improved my bit in Windows Vista, there are a large number of files downloaded into my download folder, can I delete the old version files?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly you want to delete the content in the folder downloads.

    Things that you download are actually Setup. Beams compressed files that are checked in the folder programs.

    If after installing the program these installation files have no real use because all the content has been extracted and copied.

    So you can delete them. But I suggest you keep a backup, because in case you want to reinstall them they will be very practical.

    Hope this information helps. Response to help you further. We are happy to help you.
