Is it safe to delete the log file in/private/var/log/vnetlib?

[Fusion 4.1.2 / Lion 10.7.4]

My vnetlib log file is greater than 22 MB in size and has > K 250 lines of entries dating back to September 2011. Is it safe to delete this log file? A planning at startup, remove the file and then do a restart immediately after to restart VMWare network components - and we hope to recreate a new empty file. I tried erasing the contents of the file via the Terminal but do not have sufficient permissions, even with sudo - guess it was because the VMWare networking processes running at the time.

Thank you

John

If you do not experience network problems, then it is safe to delete.

I had no problem to remove in a Terminal (while VMware Fusion is running) by using the following command in (although I would recommend VMware Fusion of closing first and it doesn't have to be done in safe mode).

sudo rm -f /var/log/vnetlib

Just curious, what the big problem is why you want to delete, 22 MB is not that big a deal.

  • is it safe to delete the temporary files?

    a game on MSN games froze the screen. The solution I got was to remove & reinstall Java, delete cookies, temp internet files.  I will lose any important data if I delete temporary files?

    Temporary files because they are are temporary and can be deleted safely. Of course, when you remove cookies from Web sites that you visit often preventing login/password information and then you will have to re-enter.

    The only time where it is not recommended to delete the temporary files is when you install a program, and if this program always needs to restart to complete the installation.

    It is rare that any who save their important data in temporary since the temp files folders are always flushed when the user run CCleaner or all files temporary cleaner.

    Yes.  In fact, if you are using disk cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK) it will delete all files in this directory that have been consulted at least 7 days ago.

    You can go directly to this folder by typing the folder in the start menu > run box and click OK.

    Thank you

    Nothing in the Windows or Program Files and files their subfolders should be left alone.  You won't earn a significant amount of disk space, and you may cause to yourself untold trouble sleeping herein.  Use instead the provided Windows Disk Cleanup.  You can get to it by clicking on start-> computer, then click on the C: drive and click Properties.  On the general tab, you will see disk cleanup.  Use it and you will be safe (and not sorry).  Everything you personally placed on the computer can always be removed of course as long as you do not try to remove installed manually the software (use the programs and features in the control panel for this).

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Is it safe to delete the original score after successful cloning?

    I have a Mac mini mid2010. I swapped his optical drive to an SSD. Then I cloned the operating system partition and everything works perfectly. My question is whether it is safe to delete the original "Macintosh HD" that I cloned, or if there is a way to keep its files being accessible if I don't get them mixed up.

    Thank you

    Delete the old folder on the internal drive home page only. I should leave everything alone in case you need to boot from this drive. However, in general, it is safe to reformat the hard drive. But it depends on what you plan to do with it.

  • Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED? because it is still there after the installation of windows 10

    I recently got a MacBook Pro 15 "2015 model retina running MacOSX 10.11.5 El Capitan.

    My steps for installing Windows 8.1:

    Create a. ISO file from DVD installation disc and save it. ISO on a USB Flash drive.

    run bootcamp and run the. Location of the ISO on the usb flash drive.

    The SSD partition

    and then it reboot and the windows installer is on and I finish installing Windows 8.1

    then the program to install bootcamp drivers intervenes and installs the drivers

    then it restarts and I upgraded towing 10 Windows later and update the bootcamp drivers

    Then I start to Mac OS X, but the OSXRESERVED partition is still there.

    And when I restart by pressing the option key, I see 1 Macintosh HD but 2 displayed Windows disks

    Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED?  I read online that deleting it will cause 10 Windows do not to start over.

    Or should I leave it alone?

  • Cannot delete the plist file system.

    My Time Machine is not automatically back up my drive. He worked for some time (don't know why) and then stops working automatically. I tried to implement the procedure laid down by Linc Davis, delete the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but make the message: 'com.apple.TimeMachine.plist' cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.  I tried to change the permissions in the file information window to include Administrator Read and Write (only has this permission system. Which translates the message: "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization."

    Using the terminal window and sudo rm command produces the same message.

    I do a backup manually through the system preferences window, but it shows immediately that a backup disk has not been selected. Next time, I select the backup disk, perform a manual backup. Repeat the next time, I have run a manual backup.

    10.11.1 on new iMac, retina 5 K with 16 GB of memory running. Has made a migration to this previous computer Mac Pro 10.7.5.

    Also the Time Machine backup drive icon backup weather icon to see the Machine. Relaunch the Finder does not fix issue.

    Question: How can I delete the plist file?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

    Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

    If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

    Restart the computer and test.

  • Destination folder access denied when deleting the .mp4 files

    HI its as says, I can't delete the .mp4 files, I followed ALL (and I say all possible solutions, I can find online) solutions step by step and still it is messed up, I can not delete a single .mp4 files, I am the administrator, .mp4 files are all created by I, me and me and no one Since I'm the only user of this computer and I have to activate all possible permissions. What should I do next? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Then without being able to see your computer, I am of ideas. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help you. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hi, its ok if you ran out of ideas, but I still have to thank you for your help because I learned some new things myself. The only solution I've found to remove my video files .mp4 without having to reboot in safe mode is to use unlocker software to help remove my .mp4 files, so far it has been helpful and has not posed no problem to my computer.  I changed to windows 7 since then, and there have not been problems with the far .mp4 files. Thank you again once, appreciate the help you gave. ^ ^
