It is easy to accidentally delete a file in Windows 7 parent

original title: WARNING - it is easy to accidentally delete a file in Windows 7 parent

Hello

WARNING!

There is a minor problem with the GUI Windows 7 that can have catastrophic consequences.

If you use Windows Explorer and you click on a subfolder name in the left pane (view of folders), then the name of the folder is highlighted in blue. If you click then on the name of the folder parent in the same pane, the name of the parent folder is highlighted in blue, and the name of the subfolder in this pane is is more highlighted. However, the name of the subfolder in the right pane is highlighted in blue.

From there, it is easy to think that you have selected in the right pane subfolder. But if you select this option to delete (and do not read carefully the confirmation message) you will delete all of the parent folder.

In Windows 2003, this was not the case - the currently selected folder has always only stressed.

Can it be corrected as soon as possible?

Hi, Kim.

Thanks for the quick response.

  • Accidentally deleted Notes file iPhone 6s. Where deleted Notes are stored?

    Accidentally deleted the file 'Notes '. a message appears indicating that the deleted note is permanently deleted within 30 days.

    Where the file is stored?

    Hello Diana-Desiree,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you have accidentally deleted a note stored in iCloud.  Whenever you remove a note in iCloud, it is moved to a notes section recently deleted.  To help recover the deleted note, please follow the steps below.

    Recover deleted notes using the Notes Update application

    If you use the Update Notes , you can retrieve and modify notes iCloud you deleted in the last 30 days on iCloud.com or your iOS devices 9 or OS X v10.11. However, you can retrieve notes you permanently deleted (as described in "Notes of Remove deleted immediately using the application update Notes," below).

    1. Go to Notes on iCloud.com, then recently deleted, click on the left.

      If you don't see recently deleted in the list of folders on the left, you have not all recoverable notes.

      If you do not see a list of folders to the left of the list of notes, you use the original Notes and can not recover the deleted notes. See "Delete a note by using the original Notes application," above.

    2. Click on a note on the right, then click on back in the top of the window. The note moves to the Notes folder.

      To recover directly in one folder other than Notes, drag a note of the folder recently removed to another folder.

    Hi people,

    Hi JoeSRV,

    Unfortunately, there is no such thing on these devices. We always recommend to have at least two locations to backup your data, just in case. You will need data recovery or file.

  • Cannot delete a file in windows 7. Indicates the specified file name is not valid or too long.

    Hello everyone, I'm pretty stuck here. I can't delete a file in windows 7 or any other do with it besides. Says "the specified file name is not valid or too long. It has a funny name [~ t] and no extension. The file type, say "file". The properties are all screwed looking with a mistake on the Security tab, a size of 0 k, is a Windows (c) \Windows\en-US.The other files in this folder appear normal. The computer seems to work very well without any obvious problems. The only problem is my anti-virus reports with a kind of syntax for the file error and indicates it cannot parse this file. I do not. I can't do a thing with it either. Cannot open, rename, move, delete, change passwords, properties, permissions, nothing. It may be necessary for a good part with 0kb. According to me, I want to just delete the thing. Please, anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Hey bud, I figured out how fix it earlier. I am so happy. I came to remember a command called chkdsk which worked very well for various issues, that I had since the construction of my old 2000 Professional machine. I think that one was my first NTFS system. I always liked how well he error correction. Seemed a lot better than the old scandisk. Low and behold, I tried and star ANISE, it is went through it, found this file almost from the beginning of the analysis and a few lines later, he said has been removed. Says something about the file being orphaned some time ago. It was a very bad child, that I tell you. I ran it in safe mode command prompt. I guess he would have done the same thing in the normal windows well, but I happened to be in safemode, when it came to me. I used the switch /f with her. Since the C:\ command prompt or any drive letter your operating system is selected, type CHKDSK/F if I remember although the f was to have it automatically CORRECT errors. I hope this info helps others with their file or disk problems. It seems that many people say they get mistakes and cannot delete various files here in these forums. Thanks Sandeep for answering me and try to help. It does not matter whether or not it was the fix, it takes time to post and your helping people learn to be it. The only thing that remains unanswered for me is actually the thing of the answer. I mean I can't say someone at - it really answered my question and do not count me? Maybe I should mark so that people will bother to read it and get the fix. HMMMM... I come back here some time later and see whats up.  SeeYou, EWOO

  • delete the file in windows 8.1

    I can't delete pdf files in Windows Explorer 8.1.  It keeps telling me that it is used in another program that is not.  I tried to go to the Task Manager and stop all the Adobe programs running, but then return to Explorer and get the same result.  Very frustrating.  I guess when you click on the name of the file to delete, the Adobe viewer comes down automatically on the right side and begins to get a glimpse of this file in Explorer.  It is a gap specific Adobe and very frustrating.  Does anyone have a solution?  Be more appreciated.

    Hi Godhelpus,

    Try turning off the preview pane and try to delete this file again.

    If this does not work, restart the process explorer.exe from the Task Manager and try to delete this file.

    Please come back if the problem persists.

    Kind regards

  • Vista cannot start because of accidentally deleted system files

    Hello

    my laptop was working very well until some files were accidentally deleted and now Vista cannot start.
    There is a message saying that I need to contact the system administrator or the manufacturer of the pc.

    Is there anything you could recommend?
    I would appreciate if you could help me find a way to record all of the information contained in hard drives.

    see you soon

    If you are not able to boot up the laptop and refuse it to Vista to start then take recovery in hand, insert it and start on this CD from Toshiba.

    Then the cell phone should boot from the recovery CD and reinstall the whole OS again.
    This should help, but the HARD drive will be formatted.

  • Accidentally deleted the file from Lightroom. Can't re - import and catalog is still full?

    So I may have to learn something of the hard, but hope that there may be a solution. I was storing my folder structure when I went to remove a folder empty and accidentally deleted my pictures of main root folder. I do not support upward as as much as I should and are now afraid I lost all those images of the catalouge. However, as you can see on the photo my catalouge said still there 22033 photographs in, and if I click on the catalouge all my photos are indeed there with the changes attached to them they are just not in a folder structure. In addition, when I go to re-import the root folder all images are grayed out and I can't select them, even if I uncheck the import suspected duplicates box. How can I get my file structure back or I'm in trouble?

    Thank you

    Immediately stop using your computer for something else. Download and run a program like Recuva file recovery.  It might be able to help.
