OK to delete the files that are: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express

Good afternoon:

Have recently been spotted by Windows XP Pro disk space on my C drive is low.  I reinstalled all the obvious large files (e.g., photos) on an external hard drive.  I have drilled down into individual files on the C drive to ensure other potential consumers of space. Found the folder that can be the source.

Last year, I converted from Outlook Express (OE) for Outlook.  At this point, I rode on my e-mail and the e-mail folders in Outlook.

I found a file in the following location that seems to contain the OE files.  I would like to know if the removal of these files of OE (~8.5 GB) impact my Outlook folder/mail e-mail before I remove them.

The location is: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express.

The folder contains about 8.5 GB of e-mail to OE folders more of them are dated July/August 2010.

It is safe to assume that when I converted originally these OE e-mail/folders over to Outlook - that Outlook has caught up - and it's OK to delete these files?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

Rick

If you do not use OE, then Yes. It will not affect Outlook at all. Open the database messages OE, the folder that you have described, and remove all the dbx files. If you need OE once again, when you open OE, it creates new files dbx for all default folders such as Inbox, sent, etc. items.

  • Why filtering by "unused" shows the files that are used in the project?

    Above the list of clips, I choose 'unused '.  I thought that this would be a practical way to show me the files I can delete the library because they are not used.  The thing is, I select this option, I see it shows me files that are certainly in use on the timeline, then what's the point of this?  How can I show actually files that are not used and as long as I can safely remove?

    It shows the unused portions of clips. If you want to remove a clip that has any items used in a project, you're better activation of the clipping indicator used. Any clip with an orange bar has been used.

    My dell PC crashed then I followed the news online & tried to reinstall windows XP from my original CD. However, the keyboard & mouse stop working when the installation gets to the 33 minute section which requires me to a box on the screen. I saw tips online who says lets you check the setupapi log & delete the file question (s) that prevents the installation but it required that use you SHIFT & F10 to enter the command prompt screen, but my keyboard is isolated at this time. So I went in the recovery console (I think it's the command prompt)?  but I don't know which of the listed commands to use to perform the advice. I would be very grateful for help.

  • How to remove the files that are most referenced in the catalogue

    Over the years, we have a number of files (raw files ~ 650) who withdrew from the catalog but not my hard drive. This happens mainly because I used the wrong combination. But now I am stuck how can I find and delete these files?

    Best strategy so far:

    -Use Synchronize folders to search for the missing files from the catalog

    -The re-importation of a keyword - deleteme.

    I'd really rather avoid this because I really don't want to take the risk of any chance to have these files. Any other ideas?

    See you soon

    In each of your folders in Lightroom, create a new folder and call it temp. In Lightroom, move the images that are located in the folders to temporary folders. Go to your finder and delete these images that were not moved to the temp folder. (ie. those that Lightroom was not aware of) Move images back in Lightroom, and then delete the temp folder.

    Personally, I'd go with import via synchronization of the top-level folder and then delete the images as you watch the "previous import" and get rid of all 650 photos at once. No necessary but useful keyword as a security measure.

  • can you get back from the videos that are live foods and does not store on anywhere they would always hard disk drive somewhere not

    Sorry, but the live feeds are not saved and cannot not even be found using recovery software because they have not been saved as files.

    I wish I had better news, but they are simply not on the system (unless you have chosen to save them).

    I hope this helps.

  • Duplicate files: I have a large number of directories and files dublicate in "C:\Documents and Settings".

    I have a large number of dublicate files and directories in 'C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\' and 'C:\Users\Jim\' after the upgrade of Windows Vistat Ultimate 64 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Why?

    The documents are really in the second folder, Documents and Settings is
    a junction point.
     
    In Vista and Windows 7, "Documents and Settings" is not a folder.
    Vista/Win7 uses a different file structure than XP/don't. Those who don't know
    the names of folders you can be used for, such as "My Documents", "Documents &.
    Settings', etc. are not folders in Vista/Win7. They are the points of junction,
    and are used for legacy programs that have been written to use the XP file
    structure.
    They will redirect the programs to use the Vista/Win7 equivalents records.
    If you keep hidden protected operating system files, you will not see them.
     
    In Vista/Win7...
    The documents & settings-> \Users
    My Documents-> \Users\youraccount\Documents
    My music-> \Users\youraccount\Music
    Application-> \Users\youraccount\AppData data
    etc.

  • Cannot delete the file - paths are too long

    Trying to delete a folder.  He complains that the folder contains items whose names are too long for the Recycle Bin.

    The problem I think is that this folder is a backup copy of an old folder AppData, in which it seems to be an almost infinite folder "Application Data" series - I am sure that these are in fact the links as opposed to records, but there is a huge tree full of them.  At the end of some branches, there are some 'real' files, but then several sub-branches of Application Data files.

    So I guess that when I try to remove the top-level folder, the full path to the way in which the files down is just too long.

    When I shift-DELETE, nothing happens, and I tried to remove it from the command prompt, nothing helps.

    Don't know what to do next.  I want to just get rid of the folder tree.

    Mike

    OK, well, irritating as it is that there is no apparent way to force Vista to do, I just crossed the entire folder structure and renamed each 'Application Data' folder to 'a', to shorten the overall paths, and this then allowed me to remove the top-level folder.
