Quick deletion of multiple files?

I have an iMac and spin El Capitan.  My hard drive is not defragind or strippers. I'm trying to clean up my iCloud Phot files.  I have tens of thousands of files I want to delete.  For some, it has been more than a year stuck with the files that I don't want.  Most of them are of thumbnails or symbols.  I want to set up separate Liberals for the various subjects.   Of course you can not move them from one library to another.  And they got rid of Cup. Pretty much the removel of any file is an important Apple production. I know that the standard methods to remove. I don't know about the D option or the DELETE option.  Yes I know I can drag something to the Recycle Bin.   There is no mystery to highlight, click the menu mouse then send to the Recycle Bin. First I have to highlight the files and my mac goes in all its States.  Then, after what seems like the computer never accepts that the files have been highlighted.  Then when I tell to send files to the Recycle Bin it must prepare and examines files evey and debates of its value.  Then after that it's over, he spent through the process again.   It seems debating the removel of each files many times.  All of these methods take hours and hours and grinds my computer to a hault. If they work at all.   Normally I nettoieriez this with msWord, but no text.  Mac is still recovering from switch to deleate the tens of thousands of files.  CCleaner won't work or will I have to use the Mac of my own.  Still, I'm not talking about defragin or cleaning my hard drive I need a quick way to delete several files.

Don't even think to put fraudulent rubbish that is CleanMyMac on your computer.  If you want to see it became an expensive paperweight, by all means, install it.  If you want to continue to use it, take a pass.  CCleaner is also unnecessary.  Mac is needless, cleaners, refreshing products, organizers, optimizers, or any other program "maintenance".  They do a great job of taking care of themselves.  Allowing a third party program to remove anything from your computer, that it is an image file or an application is inherently dangerous because they suppress also many other files you don't know anything.  They could be essential system files, they could be trash.  You don't know, and they won't tell you.

Go to http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck , download and run EtreCheck, copy paste here the status report.  The process you describe slow, the computer is to simply delete the files tells me something is wrong, and I hope that something will go up in your EtreCheck report that will shed light on it.

  • Is there a simple and quick way of deleting these temporary files?

    To clear my comp. congestion and help speed up my PC, my ISP told me to put temp5 Prefetch and % and Temp in start-run to delete the temporary files.

    Delete the contents of the prefetch folder will not help speed things up.  In fact, it will probably slow things down.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/can-i-delete-the-data-in-the-prefetch-folder/c54a8e56-c8cf-451d-a88f-07f06a2f2d54
    I guess temp5% is a typo and you really wanted to say %Temp%.  Percent signs indicate that it is an "environment variable" with the usual value of C:\Documents and Settings\, yourusername\Local Settings\Temp

    The directory specified by %Temp% is, in fact, the directory cleaned by the cleaning of record under the name "temporary files".  Why do you think that disk cleanup is not delete files?  Note that disk cleanup does not remove the files in this directory which came in the last 7 days (this period may be changed by changing a registry value).

    What disk cleanup does NOT, however, is to clean temporary files, files for the Internet browser cache and other files in places of profile-specific to the user of different profiles that you are currently using.  Disk Cleanup also does not delete the contents of C:\Windows\Temp (although it doesn't fill up with very much).  C:\Windows\Temp is the directory that appears when you type Temp in start > run (without the percent sign).  And, of course, disk cleanup will not empty the cache of the browser by non-Microsoft browsers, e.g. Firefox.

    There are third-party applications that make a "deep" cleaning  Some of them clean files of all users without having to login to each profile separately.  Most understand the characteristics that you should not use.

    Here are 2 - there are others, but I haven't used.

    ATF-Cleaner  (do not delete prefetch)

  • Error 13008 - deleting the .itdb files does not help. :(

    I tried to move my directory iTunes of my homedir on the SD card where I keep all my assets and, despite having (as far as I can remember anyway) set up iTunes to stop the analysis of the file homedir first, now, whenever he's trying to start I get the fearsome "unknown error 13008. All threads I've seen on how to solve this say to save and delete the .itdb files in your iTunes folder and then restart iTunes. However, when I do this, iTune recreates (on the SD card, so at least I know that he uses the right place, and that it can write to the card), then crashes with the error 13008. Same thing if I rename the folder iTunes together.

    Any suggestions? I'm on Yosemite. I'd say what version of iTunes, I'm running, but...

    I make little feeling that this has not been done in the best way initially.

    Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/ALT key to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

  • Treat multiple files does not?

    I'm if worried, I have a customer photo to deal with and when I use the "treat multiple files" and I click on the folder that I need all images are grayed out.  I'm short on quick time, anyone have any ideas?

    Your using photoshop elements 13 on a mac?

    What you describe is the expected behavior when you select a folder of images to process, because you just want to select the folder with the images, not to select the images inside.

    In other words, for the Source folder, you just select the folder, not the images inside.

    The pictures inside will always be gray.

    Just to give it a try to see if it works.

    Thank you!

    Simple and powerful: use the ACR (Camera raw).

    Depending on the power and the amount of RAM on your computer, you can now open and edit multiple files at the same time in the ACR module.
    Use the menu file/open in camera raw.

    Select a batch of files (say 20 to begin by)

    Select all the files in the camera roll on the left.

    When they are highlighted, you will notice that the ACR module shows its AutoCorrect settings. Generally the brightness of your images will already be improved.

    The changes you apply to the sliders will change all the images highlighted.

    Take advantage of the opportunity to refine all the other sliders made highlights/shadows, clarity, vibrance, sharpening or noise reduction...

    Tip:

    What you do in the ACR module do not alter the original jpeg pixels. Only the parameters are saved, which is called parametric edition. So after this editing session, when you save the changes ('Done' button), you are able to reopen the jpeg (it will open automatically in ACR, even from the Organizer). You will be able to start editing with either:

    1 - the values of the original jpeg (turn all the sliders to zero, auto or custom in the right panel).

    2 - the AutoCorrect default CAB
    3 - your latest changes (settings file)
    4 - the session settings of most recent edition (which is useful to apply to several image consecutively).

    These settings are saved in the jpeg metadata section. No need to create a version set at this stage.

    Important: even if you are happy with the automatic settings default to ACR, apply a little change of your choice so that the settings are saved in the metadata section when you click on 'Done '.

    You have now edited your first batch. If you use the orgnizer, you might want to "update thumbnails', which show the improvement of brightness in thumbnails. You are ready to make the necessary changes to individual files, such as cropping or sharpening in ACR. Instead of clicking "Done", you can click on 'Open' to open the file in the Editor (you can change in 8 or 16-bit). You must go into the editor to apply other changes as layers, local adjustments. you use the editor to register in any other format file or print.

    For the next batch, the mounting parameters are available in the dropdown to the right (previous conversion). Open files, highlight all, select previous conversion, click 'Done '. Wait for the settings to be saved in jpeg files.

    In a situation where you have 100 files JPEG, the workflow that the above is by far the fastest and most flexible you can use. Imagine you have a white balance bad setting of your camera, you can imagine the time you need by editing individual files in the editor?

  • ACR will not synchronize multiple files

    ACR will only synchronize intermittently and apparently randomly in CS5 and CS6. It worked great for a long time before. When there was still chat and or telephone support from Adobe, the technician took my screen and was told everything was working fine-it just happened to be the only time he's done it! I thought him and shortly after synchronization of multiple files still worked on and off the power, but not in a predictable way:

    Sometimes, all the synchronization files, sometimes nothing, sometimes the next folder down will be. It's extremely frustrating. Please help quickly!

    Awesome! Please check back... Hope it continues to go well. No, the reset does nothing to Photoshop. If you use the same keys on start up of Photoshop, then it will reset.

    If everything still works as it should, don't forget to mark the correct answer for other users with the same problem can see the solution.

  • Deleting the same files of many virtual machines remotely

    Hi all

    I tried to delete the same file several virtual machines remotely using the following script PowerCLI:

    $a = Get - VM | %{

    foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
    Write-output $nic. IPAddress
    }
    }
    foreach ($i in $a)
    {$b = get-WmiOBJECT-query "SELECT * from CIM_DataFile where Name='C:\\test\\deleteme.exe'"-computername $i}
    $b.delete)

    }

    It works perfectly when I run the script on the host virtual machines while I am running the script PowerCLI. When I Connect-viserver to another host however and try to run the script, I get the dreaded "RPC server is unavailable error (HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" for Get-WmiObject.  Virtual machines don't have Windows Firewall and have all TCP/IP, RPC and WMI services started, so who could eliminate any possibility.

    I am also able to run other scripts that use the Get-wmiobject across all virtual machines such as scripts to change the DNS or Netbios name across many machines on different hosts.

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways which can delete files on multiple virtual machines in any other way.  Installation PowerCLI to run the script locally on each host would be a laborious process to do.

    Thank you very much!

    Best regards

    To solve the problem with the quotes, you can use double quotes inside the string. Like this:

    «del "«c:\documents and settings\text.exe»»»

    Or you can use for the string single quotes and double quotes inside:

    "del"c:\documents and settings\text.exe"

  • Rename and change the date of the file on multiple files

    How to rename multiple files in pictures in a single operation like I did in iPhoto? The same question arises to change the filedate?

    I looked in the manual very rudimentary, and it seems to have disappeared. I think that pictures is a gradient iPhoto (I don't want to use a program with no future updates) and I'm not happy to trust pictures/iPhoto to archive all 18100 photos and videos in a single file which from time to time a photo or two disappears (will not help to repair the database file)

    I started using Adobe elements 14 Organizer to keep track of my files in a folder of my choice where my photos is located a file for each photo a week (feel safe) and Adobe Photoshop elements 14 to change files. He has a solution for my answers mentioned here, I have not found better (I tried AcdSee pro for mac but it is pretty unstable and limited in options)

    Come on Apple we give a new Photos with option not reinforced this low quality low option software

    You can't and you couldn't have in iPhoto, either - no change is possible for file names or file dates in a program

    Given that you want to not use pictures you have made the right choice - do not use in it, use a software you like - the software you use is your choice and you can change at will - but it is crazy to expect that Apple or someone else will change the software used and loved by millions just to meet your personal wishes

    And clearly, you have no idea how works same Photos - but because you don't like it don't is really no reason for you or for someone to try to explain it to you - just for a simple example - Photos put everything into one large file - it stores each photo in its own file using the same exact file used by each program Amc system including organizing Adobe

    You have made the right choice for you to use and enjoy - don't know why you even bother to post here

  • iCloud Installation hangs on deleting of backup files

    If I go crazy.  Tried to install a new version of iCloud in many different ways and it keeps hanging on 'delete backup files '.  I searched on the Internet and each suggestion appears to be for a few years, not always on Windows 10. But my problem is happening in 2016 and is still ongoing.

    I am running windows 10.  I completely uninstalled all the programs Apple. I'll try to reinstall iCloud and every time it stops on deleting of backup files. I did it in airplane mode and when you are connected to the Internet.

    Any help / thoughts?

    Hi ManowarNYC,

    Thanks for your question.  I'm not sure what you mean by

    Tried to install a new version of iCloud in different ways

    So, I'll start by suggesting the implementation of the instructions below:

    Set up and use iCloud for Windows

    Confirm that you have uninstalled the previous version to iCloud for Windows, and you install the 64 bit to iCloud for Windows version for your operating system Windows 10.

    Take care.

    Can I delete the backups Time Machine of old MacAir and make room on my time Machine 2 TB for Macbook?

    Yes you can.  Your next question may be 'how' to do it.

    Use the Finder to open the disc Time Capsule, named "Data", except if you have renamed the reader

    Here, you will see two files sparsebundle, each bearing the name of Mac, who has been the object of a backup

    Click on the name of the sparsebundle file on behalf of the Mac to highlight the file

    Click the gear just above the window, and then click place in the trash

    He is not coming back, so make sure that you delete the correct file.

    Once the deletion over... it should only take a few minutes... Turn off and restart the time Capsule and you should be all set.
