It cannot remove the files imported in Media Center in Windows 7 Media Center!

Today, I created folders Win 7 Media Center of Vista Media Center in the hope of being able to watch some TV recorded in Win 7. Does not work and more than 1000 files and folders cases imported into Vista. I have the ability to delete "existing" files in the Vista Media Center. All imported records do not give me the option to right-click and delete! Help!

Hi stur2009,

Method 1: You can delete these folders to be monitored by Windows Media Center. To do this, follow the steps below

(a) on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, and then click settings.

(b) select the library configuration.

(c) select stop watching a folder , and then select Next.

(d) uncheck the folders you want Windows Media Center to stop watching, and select Next.

(e) in the next screen, select Finish .

Method 2: You can manually delete the files imported from the original location on the Windows Vista-based computer.

You can see the article below, which deals with a similar question

A multimedia file or its content remains in the media library after you select the option to stop to look at the record in Windows Media Center in Windows Vista

  • Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

    I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

    If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  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.

    Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    (Even once - keep the * first conversation * going.)  Written on it.  Show how this conversation continues spreading around.)

    BTW - my suggestion has not changed.  I still think that you get just around issues that still exist, probably, by fixing the little things you need at a given time.

    Backup important files/folders (for you) (including documents, photos, music, Favorites, Internet favorites, files installable application, serial numbers, product keys, spreadsheets, you saved to the desktop email, etc.) and wipe the disc completely - I'd even a zero writing on the disc (formatting) before installing the operating system from the original installation media.  Then install your applications and restore your files.

    As to what they were asked to do... Always seems that you saved the file as a *. TXT file and not a *. REG or there is much more wrong with your machine (see my suggestion above.)

    Visit this web page to look at the photo on the left (a first) to see the screenshot of the possible is the desktop icons and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."

    To check if you saved incorrectly or if there is something wrong with your system (or two) - right click on the file you saved and choose 'Properties' from the menu you get.  Under the 'Général' tab, she said, "file Type: registration entries (.reg)" and "opens with: Registry Editor" or something similar?  Visit this web page to look at the picture on the right (second) to see the screenshot of the possible look at the windows of the property and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."
