  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 some files failed to click, right click or see their location.

  I found two files but I can't do anything with them. The files are named:

  1 relevantknowledge (www.relevantknowledge.com)

  2 RelevantKnowledge

  All I can do is highlight. Can't not double click, right click, copy or move them and there is no way to tell where the files are located. The first file does not all messages at all and the second file (when it is copied) %3 NULL says: OpText.

  Go safe mode does not help.

  Is there anyway to delete these files please?

  Thank you.

  Oh, yes I used use AdwCleaner. Chrome was closed 3 times while typing this should have left on the 3rd time.

  I found and deleted the files now. These programs did not help. But, they helped to find and remove other files and keys of reg I knew, I had.

  Thanks for the help.

  After searching for ages, I found the files in \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History C:\Users\ (username)

  As usual deleted history files. I did a search in the full hd. All files have disappeared.

• Impossible to delete some files on windows vista (read-only cannot be deselected, either)

  Right... excuse me for grammar mistakes, I'm Dutch. So there you go.

  I am a user of Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. I uninstalled World of Warcraft yesterday, and there are two files that I can't remove, no matter what I try. If I want to delete them, I first get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/483/eerstdit.PNG

  Can I get something I can't print screen for a reason, telling me to give my permission as an administrator of the laptop. What I'm doing. Then, I get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1054/endandit.PNG

  Remains and stays and stays (you get the picture), no matter how many times I click on 'Retry '. Of course, when I press cancel, it stops completely, and the files are still there.

  == Fun facts (or something like that) =.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7725/mapwb.PNG

  None of the files are marked as "read-only":

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6421/FileProperties.PNG

  But the plan is amrked as such... However, the name of the map can be changed. (As seen when I changed it to 'h' instead of 'World of Warcraft' to see if it would somehow effect). The names of the files, however, cannot.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9439/mapproperties.PNG

  When I try to change the map to 'no read-only', simply unchecking the box and try 'apply' or 'ok', I get the same response from the computer I get when I try to delete the files: no way I'll do .

  I tried to do since the mode without failure of the laptop with the same exact results. I am the only admin on the computer (in fact, I'm the only account outside the 'guest' one) and Yes, I am enrolled in the two-person-list, who is an administrator (which is strange in itself, because, as I said, the other account should not exist even) have the files.

  Of course I can't open the files, because the programs they were running with disappeared with uninstalling WoW.

  And this is my story. If nobody here knows, suggestions to other places that they might know are also welcome.

  Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  If this does not work, it may be a permissions problem.  Try to give permission in their own right and also appropriate.  Here is information on how to do these two things:

  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 resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (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.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  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/.

  If this does not work, try to reinstall WOW and then uninstall it with Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html instead of using the option to uninstall Vista (Revo does a better job and can cope with these two files during the process).

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• Windows live mail 2012. Impossible to delete some messages from the Inbox.

• I can't delete a folder. In addition, in some cases, I can't delete some files.

  Using Windows Explorer (Windows XP) I can't delete a folder. (The data are not a program).

  File attributes are set to "hidden files" and the folder is empty (0-byte and no files are in the folder).

  In addition, the folder properties (and file) / attributes are 'read only '. When I uncheck "read only" and click OK, then look again at this, the box comes back to "read only with a check mark. (???)

  When I try to delete the folder, the message says "no empty folder", and it won't delete.

  Also, when I try to delete some files (in other cases) some people will not remove.

  Help, please.

  The 'read only' box on issues is not what he says. ignore it.

  A folder will not delete if it contains a locked file.  You will need to unlock and remove the file first.

  "Some files" will not delete because they are locked - that is to say, they are in use by an application.  There is a utility called "unlocker" used to be recommended to correct this situation, but the download now includes adware that may be reported by your antivirus/antimalware dangerous application.

  An 'empty' file that will not delete can be fixed if you run chkdisk.  Click Start > run and type the following command, and then click OK

  chkdisk/f

  A window will open to inform you that chkdisk /f cannot be run while Windows is active and proposed to schedule a chkdisk for the next reboot.  Answer Yes and restart.  When chkdisk is complete, delete the folder.

  The files that appear to be in use can be deleted by one or more of the following techniques:

  A. deleting a command prompt window.  You need to know the name of full of the file path.  For example, if you try to delete a file named test.txt that is located in a folder named Non empty folder on your desktop and your user name is NR16020, the full path name is C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non empty Folder\\test.txt

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Use the del for the files command and the command rd for folders.  If the full path name includes spaces, include it with double spaces.  Using the example:
    del "C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder\\test.txt empty"
    'C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder Empty' RD

  B. remove in safe mode.  To access Safe Mode, restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 immediately after that the power on sequence is complete.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and need to try again.

  C. remove from a command prompt with closed Windows Explorer.  If the procedure fails because the file is locked, follow these steps:

  • Close all running applications
  • Open the Task Manager
  • Open a command prompt window
  • In the Task Manager process tab, right-click on explorer.exe, and then select end process
  • Open the command prompt window and follow the steps listed in point A above
  • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK

  This error indicates that an application is using this file at this point here. If you are unable to remove it, restart your computer and then try to delete it.

  IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH THE above METHOD, THEN TRY to USE UNLOCKER, a free application that disables the application using the file that you want to delete.
  Download unlocker from here-http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
  Click on the above link and click on download the newer version on the right side of the screen.
  Download UNLOCKER from the link given above and install it. (you may need to restart the computer)
  Right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click unlocker.
  A new window opens showing all applications using this file.
  Select all files, and then click on unblock.
  Now right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click on remove.
  YOUR FILE WILL BE DELETED SUCCESSFULLY.
  If you are still unable to delete that file and unlocker shows no application, then follow these steps-
  Right-click on the file you want to delete and click unlocker.
  A small window will appear.
  In the drop-down list, choose delete, and then click ok.
  Your file will be deleted on the next reboot of the system.

• Deleted some files in the windows directory a few reasons, after restarting the system. showing a victim of COUNTERFEIT windows. How to reactivate my windows?

  Hi all

  I bought Lenovo laptop 10 months before staple. Today in my system, a malicious program "Progressive Protection system" is automatically installed. As a result, I searched the Internet and deleted some files in windows directory in C drive. Now after restarting the system, it's popping up a message stating "you are a victim of counterfeit windows. Even I have validated my window in internet with options available always is saying that my window is not genuine. Don't know how to turn it back on. If someone can help with this problem?

  I suspect that the problem is that the malware is still present - a repair installation will not get rid of it.

  @Prad_121

  Please follow the directions for the RDO and run the analysis offline so you can - at least, so we can be reasonably sure that the machine is free of malware.

  Once completed, please post a new report MGADiag.

• I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. What should I do?

  I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. I get a notice: FTP an error occurred - cannot delete the PDF download server folder. Operation failed. The directory is not empty, or there may be a permission problem.

  What should I do?

  Try to delete the files in your folder first.

  If there is a permissions problem on the server that you cannot delete files, you need to contact your Site Administrator (if you have one) or your Web hosting provider.

• Impossible to delete legacy files, character there is NO guilty?

  I was browsing some legacy files in my archive DVD containing old projects of the time 7 OS and now I am unable to remove my trash of 2 of them. There are two pesky files that contains a "NULL" character at the beginning of their file name. I can't move or rename, so the folder hierarchy that contains rest too.

  

  I can't rename the files. When I move or empty the trash, this error message is displayed:

  

  I have tried everything I can think, renamed, all UNIX commands in the terminal I could google to the top. Moving them in a temporary account and then delete the account does not work. After you remove the user remainder file, containing only rogue files and folders.

  Help, please! What can I do to get rid of these pesky files?

  Hello

  This is a known issue with OS X 10.11, that has never been set.

  FC.

  Cannot delete/rename/move a file of Windows with a special character

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7409456

  Workarounds include:

  (a) start the machine problem in OS X 10.10 or an earlier version and delete the file from there. or

  (b) connect the machine problem started in disc Mode target of another machine booted to OS X 10.10 or an earlier version and delete the file from there. or

  (c) to initialize the volume where the file problem.

  This seems to be a serious regression within XNU. I wonder if it is fixed in OS X 10,12 or not.

  Good luck
