Impossible to delete/uninstall program program file in the downloaded folder

How can I remove / uninstall a program in the folder downloaded program file?

Vista 32 bit

When I open the folder and right click on the program file that I want to remove/uninstall the Properties menu appears, but there is no facility to remove or uninstall the file.

I tried disk cleanup, and this does not remove the file either.

Help please, thank you. Peter

When you uninstall a program, you go to the application of programs and features.

Start > Control Panel > Classic view > programs and features > scroll down to find the program, right click, click on uninstall.

  • Deleting files from the downloads folder

    Deleting files from my downloads folder delete them will form my laptop?

    The downloads folder is mainly a temporary store. What happens after the download depends entirely what they are and what you were doing after download.

    Program installers will almost always unpack and create directories elsewhere on the disc in order to remove them from downloads does not remove the actual program.

    By default, zip files will create a folder extracted in downloads and will be deleted if the folder is empty.

    Photos, documents, music, etc. be elsewhere on your drive if you moved them. As the default drag and drop function within the same drive is move not copy if they are still there, there is a strong possibility that they are the only copy.

  • SUSPICIOUS. DOWNLOAD SAFARI FILE IN THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER

    HELLO, FOR SOME TIME I FOUND SEVERAL. DOWNLOAD FILES IN MY DOWNLOAD FOLDER: ILS WEIGHT RANGING FROM 20 TO 100 KB AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN AN ERROR WINDOW DISPLAYS, EVEN THE INFORMATION THEREON ARE USELESS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY CAME FROM... IS IT A VIRUS OR WHAT? ANY CLUE?

    Thank you

    Well, if there are some suspicious files "downloaded" in box you then you must NEVER open them because if they are a virus then it's not on your computer. not the reason why I said 'download' with the ' ' is because hackers have a way of putting false downloads in your box, then when you open them they give you the virus. in other words, they could get them you now is if you have opened a strange e-mail that you didn't know who it was, since, they could put a simple hack on your computer to download the fake files which contain the actual virus. So what I would do, is go to apple and ask them to look at and make sure that everything is ok.

  • Vista folder Program Files and the folder Program Files (86)

    What is the significance of the differences, if any, between the Program Files folder and the folder C:\Program Files (86)?  When you install the software, is it better to let the software decide what Program Files folder to use?

    Hello Pit Bull Junkyard,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    The Program Files (x 86) folder is the default folder for 32-bit programs, Program Files is the default folder for 64-bit programs.  I suggest you leave all programs you install go to the default to avoid any problems.

    Both of these files have very strict default permissions that are difficult to ignore, unless you want to create a new folder, and then save it there.

    Hope this helps, please let us know status.  Thank you!

  • 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.

    This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

  • Download a file should implement an option to open the file or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

    Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.

    Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.

    For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .

  • How can I move files to the system folder?

    Hi all

    I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Steve

    In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

    This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

    What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.
