• Impossible to delete file from office

  Using Vista Ultimate SP2, I have a file that I downloaded from an FTP site customers who have not completed the download.  Now I can't delete it.  If I just right click on the desktop and select Remove, or more, it gives me the "time remaining: calculating...» "window with no real results.  I can't right click to rename, I get "Windows Explorer is not responding".  Do a right click to check properties does nothing.

  I have administrator rights, I seem to have my office (but can not say on the specific folder).  I rebooted to safemode, tried to confirm if I have property, del tried the command line - nothing.

  Try to delete this file by using the software and the workarounds in my http://blogs.dotnethell.it/vincent/Tip-elimina-i-file-ineliminabili__1191.aspx Blog post (please ignore the Italian language in this post).

• Impossible to delete files that have already been deleted?

  There are about a dozen files on my computer that I can't get rid of.  They are all 0 bytes long.  I think I tried to remove them and their data has been deleted, but the filenames themselves could not be removed because they contain illegal characters.

  Here is the set of characters used for file names.

  a to z

  A to Z

  0 to 9

  _

  ()

  []

  '

  Here's the message I don't understand why I try to delete them, open them, rename them, edit them, move them or do something with them.

  This item was not found.

  It is no longer in C:\Users\ShadeSwan\Downloads. Check the location of the item and try again.

  Name (text) file type: file size: 0 bytes updated the: 01/01/2014 12:01 AM

  Then try to Cancel

  I tried to recreate the files by doing a new text file and save under the same name of the files with no data. It seems to work at first (one of the two files will disappear), but when I remove the file or rename it or change it in any way originally undeletable reappears.  I can't delete, open them, rename them, edit them or move them by starting a different OS on Virtualbox and access the folder they are in.

  I'm about to leave Windows for Linux.  I never had no problem doing something as simple as deleting a freaking Linux file.

  1. Go to start, search cmd, right click and click "Run as Administrator".
  2. Type "chkdsk /f" and press enter
  3. Answer 'Y' to the question and press to enter.
  4. Restart when you have to run the error checking.

  Note: you can also check the hard drive for bad sectors, but this may take several hours. You can use chkdsk/r.

• Impossible to delete file from LR, requires the password from the Mac OS finder

  I have an old power Mac OSX 10.5.8 running. I store all my images under the same folder on the same hard drive. For some reason any and this has never happened before, always worked normally prior to that, I don't know why the images cannot be deleted and moved to the trash in LR. At the level of the finder, these files every need I type my password (Finder requires that you type your password). This has never happened before, I tried a stop down and re - start cold, but the behavior persists. Images are not locked and everything seems normal, but not normal behavior. I realize this isn't a problem with Lightroom, but I need to delete from Lightroom, because is where I can see the images better while choosing those that can be deleted. Has anyone seen this behavior before Mac? No matter what patch you know?

  Thank you

  Ken

  His is as the files do not have the correct permissions. Because they are on an external drive, you could select the drive icon, bring up the info (Cmd + i) window and check the box "ignore ownership on this volume".

  What to do with all my internal/external additional disks by default. It is usually no problem, except if you need to prevent other users to access the files.

• Try to free up space in XP, impossible to delete some files

  Hello my name is David, I sufferd from damage of brian 12 years ago and I just want you to know maybe it's a little confussing for me. I tried to deliet the fieles and it just doesn't work!

  * original title - I need help to find out how deliet some files. I have tried everything what awmost. At this point, I'm riealy together and I was woundering if you can help me please? *

  Unfortunately, if you see messages that say you're low disk space, you will probably need to have a bigger drive installed on your computer.  This shouldn't be very expensive.

  In the meantime, you can delete files using the disk cleanup tool in Windows (click here to see a video how-to):

  1. click on start, then click my computer
  2. right click on 'disk Local (c)' and then click on properties (at the bottom of the menu that opens).
  3. click on the button that says "Disk Cleanup".
  4. When you get to the list of the types of files to remove, if one of the lines, says "Office installation files" do not check that.  Otherwise, you can check all the boxes.
  5. Once you have ticked the boxes, click on the OK button.

  The process can take a long time.

• Impossible to delete the files from the Windows Media Player library

  Cannot delete files from library

  There are files in my library that I deleted the files, but the items still appear in my library. An example would be the items stored in the folder 'Public '.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  Any suggestions on how to get these files is no library WMP?  I tried already to 'Restore the library' and I also tried "sfc/scannow", which did not find any problem.

  It seems to be a corrupt library file.  In any case of the deletion and re-creation of who?

  Thanks in advance for any given input.  If any other detail is necessary, please do not hesitate to ask.

• Best way to clean previously deleted files

  Hello

  I give my laptop a friend so I spent some time remove personal files and removing programs that I paid for. Mainly of him leaving the OS of Windows 7 Pro, free software security/anti-malware, Microsoft Works, Adobe Reader, etc., bit stripped.

• How to delete files in the folder of information system volume on replacement disks?

  How can I delete files that were up on another system (XP), after that I inserted the disc into my new Win 7 system.  The files seem to be impossible to remove.  This is not a progress :)  What can I do to remove these files?  They take a significant amount of space, and I want to be able to put what I want on these drives.  What I have to get out my old XP discs just to do this?  Please tell me I don't have to (: I remember to clean my machine win 98 with the commmands BACK a file and directory at a time.)  I hope were not there...

  rfitzpa877

  , This does not resolve the (ARRRG!) system volume information files, but their size is reduced to nothing...  If someone does not know how to remove these files, I would like to know how.  I formatted one of the disks and apparently not one of these folders have yet.  In fact, I bluff on that partition and formatted & that seems to have managed to get rid of these pesky files on this drive.  Am I the only one who thinks I should have control over my own system?  What is the point of having administrator rights?  Maybe it's time we give administrator rights.  I am not at all impressed by it.  From the looks of the number of points of view on this thread, I'm not the only one with this problem.  If I want to disable the protection and to get rid of the files, why I can't?

  You just started to fall on this real guilty about "kits of infected roots.  Lets imagine that a crime is committed in a House.  who is instantly a suspect?  for example, wife disappears > husband is the first to be questioned.

  In the case of a MS OS Microsoft has really strengthened WAY out of bounds. For half a year that I traced the issue to them anyone who or what that monitor my progress erased my data and sent me to a goose chase 6 months have no opportunity to even connect online for days or weeks I was left down my school because I was not able to turn on a computer to write an assignment or a test with any reliability.
  Who got this abuse power?  They think we did by agreeing to there life private terms or agreeing to use icons 'newer and better '.  They rely solely on the low bar of duty of good faith to steal data, record and claim it as their webcam or any ones and zeros, they feel that theirs with an omniscient power of Microsoft update.  Why is Microsoft blameless when a blue screens after a system command to reboot to make effective change OS
  ? Read the comments around KB976902 and the "fix" KB25533552.  They have simply to virtualize all XP sp3 or later PC.  Using video to measure the ability of the PC performance and disk space querying Microsoft then begins to do what they darn well for as long as they wanted regardless of evil as being spent in graduate school.
  This virtual virus haunts me, but he gave up because I happened to scan hundreds of pages of documents trying to burn DVDs or whatever it is to preserve the legal evidence (paralegals).
  I had scanned drive my license to and many other pages that I think someone out there shows some mercy, at least for a little while.  Behaviour cruel and unusual of sadistic implementation of the 'virtual' virus left me broke and homeless.
  Be aware, WBEM, Panther, winsxs and scoring system they say is in our interest or as these naïve technicians say blindly which is just one possible use of the 'virtual' Virus  Visual Basic and root or environment variables allows them to alter the remote registry or to set a timer to attack even when unplugged on the net.  They have no interest in the individual retail customer or small business owner.   Whenever you read "recommended", it is recommended to allow them to invade and infect their own way.
  What virtual "features" are active I really don't know, when there is literally no control over any aspect of the PC.  They could using Adobe Flash network of peer-to-peer "characteristic" of the network or activate Bluetooth to create a network almost undetectable, replacement of NICs with NDIS based pilots allows them to use USB drivers to emulate any hardware driver, even turn off the LEDS of different.  Only because of the vibration of a drive external hard started to peel the onion.
  I can bet my next "update" will be what I call and copyright 'virtual Virus '.
  It is my opinion based on my experience real and even documenting months and months of troubleshooting the data I recorded full time has of course changed or deleted.   These facts showed me that Microsoft et al. will do anything even my personal destruction for nothing more than try to get control of my own personal private property.
  By diligent and hundreds of thousands of hours, I am convinced all my personal files are monitored without legal or judicial supervision.
  So yes, deleting these files is not only the best of the options, it leaves the possibility of attacking or anything be it launch at will and, therefore, it IS THE ONLY OPTION.
  Hidden in the desktop.ini, fonts and all files are really seeds of the worst violations of privacy, not yet imagined by most computer experts or instructions.  Our worst enemy is so once more one inside not the perception of the public of the hacker tracking.
  I submit, piracy of Microsoft operating systems is now a 2nd Amendment RIGHT because they used their OS as a weapon as damaging as any gun could be data that they killed.
  By doing so and by my expert opinion and the notation of the inalienable right of the privacy of the citizens of CA. Microsoft has eliminated any claim of a right to valid author or license because they use EULA another company in they create and manage folders.
  The 'virtual' Virus is clever that, as long as it is insidious.  If they deny then I ask the State of the art and my invention.  I can then request the return in court.  My remedy supposed today
  ?  I am only allowed the cost of the operating system regardless of the magnitude of the fraud and damage that they did to me
  It is clearly stated in the EULA that they believe is valid.
  Until one day I hope to be able to have my day in court before a jury educated I'm destined to become outcast among our society.
  What a difference a year and this little compassion to tears shed my life dissolves around me.
  My confidence they would eventually do the right thing has turned out to be my worst enemy

• Impossible to delete iOS apps 10-pressing/holding icon just widgets for the app.

  Impossible to delete iOS apps 10-pressing/holding icon just widgets for the app.

  Hi b. Bruce Brinson,.

  I understand that you are having some difficulty to remove apps on your iPhone, and instead you see additional options for these applications. I know it's important to have control over what is on your iPhone, so I'm happy to help you.

  From what you described, it seems that you use tactile 3D, instead of simply touch and hold for remove. You can see more info on tactile 3D and how it works here:

  3D Touch - iPhone
  

  Tactile 3D

  Tactile 3D gives you an additional way to interact with the iPhone. On supported devices, you can tap the screen to see the previews, access useful shortcuts and more.

  Tactile 3D is based on:

  • iPhone 7

  • iPhone 7 more

  • iPhone 6 s

  • iPhone 6 sec more

  

  For example, press a notification to the lock screen to respond. In Mail, tap a message in the list of the mailbox for a glance at the contents of the message, and then slide up to see a list of actions. Or press a little more pop the open message. In Photos, tap a picture for the look to it, and then drag upward to share or copy it; Press a little bit more far to jump the image in full screen. In this document, look for other examples of tactile 3D, which are marked with .

  You can use Touch 3D on the home screen, tap the application to see the menus of fast action. For example, you can press the icon of the camera on the home screen, then choose Selfie take. Quick action also works in the Control Center. For example, press the flashlight, then choose a light bright, medium, or low.

  Once you have an understanding of what is currently happening, try the following steps to remove apps from your iPhone:

  Delete music, movies, applications, and other content to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support
  

  Remove an application

  1. Press and hold the application until it stirs.
  2. Press on the in the upper left to remove.

  You may be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the app. If you see a pop-up that says, "[application name] remove will also remove all the data," press DELETE.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

• Hack and download deleted files.

  Firstly - I don't know anything about apple products, but a few years back we were at a party where my son was charged to hack an iPad to friends and download of deleted files. My son is said to have picked up his iPad and clicked the button image on his screen locked and watched a slide show.

  But they were pretty adamant that he hacked in and downloaded its deleted pictures because she removed the image that he could see. He also repeated that they could see pictures deleted! They have nothing serious, she took a few pictures of pimples on the face and apparently they made fun of her and she got very angry, being 10 or 11 years and they ended up leaving the group.

  Things kind of has taken a turn for the worse when the friend's brother went behind my son to school has grabbed by the shoulders spun around him and he was slammed into a locker and yelled to leave his sister alone. Well, my wife was quite upset and things came and went for a bit and we pretty much no more.

  So in the end - they looked like, Yes, I disagree with my son doing... but look at what your son. The mother says well enough, was his exact quote "[my son] betrayed [his] confidence to hack his iPad and download its deleted photos!

  Can someone please explain what they're talking about and how was my son able to watch a slideshow on a locked iPad? Can someone also explain how can they see Deleted Photos?

  Sorry for this long post...

  From the sounds of things, your son has no more to start the slideshow on the device function. Maybe the photos they thought had been deleted was not. I vaguely remember the feature which for my part would have stopped. See http://ipadacademy.com/ipad-tip-using-your-ipad-as-a-digital-photo-frame-even-wh en-locked /. From what I understand, it has been deleted in the iOS 7.

• Why isn't suddenly deleted files is no longer testify in Trash like they used to do

  This morning I deleted an e-mail and then realized I needed some information from it. I naturally expect to end up in the trash, as always, but when I open the trash can none of my deleted files are there. I don't have a "blank out" together. I use Thunderbird 31.4, on Windows 7 Professional. I rebooted both Thunderbird and Windows, to no avail. I have not changed my account settings or options. This has not happened before. Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you for all your efforts. As I said, I'm afraid the first link leads to an element in Swedish (I think), which was just a single line and not recognizable as something I knew. Your second link leads to an article in English (thanks) and has shown a page of "settings". I put no parameters of "Empty on exit", or something similar, which could have been what you were suggesting that I look at.

  Since then, as announced, I did an uninstall and reinstall and now all is well. I can only assume that Thunderbird somehow became corrupted. Otherwise, it's a mystery. Still a bit of an annoyance if, as I do not do not know why things happen.

  Thank you once again.

• Can I delete files from my drive iCloud on my MacBook?

  Can I delete files from my iCloud on my MacBook drive and make them stay on iCloud on the web? I want to clear my drive in addition to hard as much as possible.

  If you disable iCloud by car, you will be told the local copies of your files will be deleted, but will remain in iCloud.

  When you delete them from your iCloud drive, the files will be deleted to iCloud.

  iCloud is a synchronization service, not off of storage of the unit.
