Remove stranded files from the hard disk to the VM package
I have a virtual merger machine that is now 96 GB in size (database development) and it contains several virtual hard drives. Now, I have cleared one of the drives on and outsourced (he placed on an external Firewire based drive). Removing the abandoned drive does not reduce the size of the virtual machine. Research in the VM package, I see that the hard disk file (vmdk) is always inside the package and using 54 GB.
The question is so I can delete these files from the VM package or it will damage the VM? I tried to make a backup of the VM, but right at the end that it maintains the production of an error so I would like to know if anyone has experience with this before making the jump.
Removing a virtual drive simply deletes the references, it does not delete the virtual disk. If you do not have a snapshot (for example), it is safe to delete. Make sure get you the right one, well - I recommend you all first move somewhere else and then try to start the virtual machine. If it is used at the moment (but maybe not if it is only used by a snapshot), merge will complain.

Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name
By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need. If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities. However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.
I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

How to remove unnecessary files from the hard drive using Lightroom.
Hello
I use Lr 5.7 on Win7 64-bit. I would remove completely some old files and their contents that were part of my previous, very messy organization. I still have parents and masters images files, so I have no need extra junk on my hard drive.
I tried to do a right click on the file, but the only option is to delete the catalog. I saw posted solutions that say click on icon less. I don't see an icon less anywhere. As far as I know, Lightroom really doesn't want "delete me" anything.
Thank you!

How to remove unwanted files from the local root folder of the site?
Hello
I work with Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I have finished my site but I have a lot of files in my local root folder that I don't want to upload to the server. These unwanted files are for most of the photos that I should not be used in my site. I do not understand how to download the site on the server using ftp and remote folder in Dreamweaver. I suppose that if I move the page html files to the remote folder that my photos will not be associated with these html files automatically. I used a Dreamweaver template during the construction of the site. I wish I had a folder with only the necessary files for the site (all html pages and a folder of images) to upload to the server. Is there an easy way to move all my pages and images associated with a folder or remove all unwanted files in the local root folder? As I see it now, I'll have to go through all my pages and write down each title of the photo and then go back and delete each unwanted file. This seems a lot of your time, so I thought that there must be an easier way, I hope.
Any help or ideas will be of course very appreciated, thanks, dluthier
I guess you mean 'work' files, not the images that you use in your Web site.
If they are not related to all pages of your site, you are free to move by using your computer's file management tools. I can give you specific instructions, if you wish, but the short of it is that you do not keep them in the folder root of your site at all.
In my way of working, I have a folder for each client that includes:
- The correspondence of this client folder
- Folder to 'Work'... the PNG images, etc., or of the images from the client
- Record the site root
When I get e-mail, I save the message in the appropriate folder of correspondence, I save the images etc in the folder of 'Work' to the customer and I only save images and other who have already been optimized in the Site folder, keep it as intact as possible.
Even if the general warning must always use the files Panel to move files around, that applies to files which are linked and form part of the structure of your Site. Moving your files 'work' outside of the structure can be carried out safely in windows explore your PC.
That said, if you need to download and there are files you want to download, or to move, you can 'hide' the in the files Panel by right-clicking on the file name and choosing 'Cloaking '.... "in the context menu that appears.
To the point that the image files that are downloaded to the remote site will not 'automatically' be associated with your html files. That is right. Unless you have configured explicitly links or associations between files, images will not associate themselves!
On the subject of 'automatic' way to do this, you can make a link to check on all of your local site. Window > results > Link Checker will bring up the appropriate window, which will give you the choice: broken links, external links and orphan files (this is the one you want). Use the green triangle tower at the left end of the Link Checker to set your auditor... Current Local Document or a set current site.
If you want to make a checklist to ensure that you move them all, you can save the report by clicking on the small icon "Floppy" under the Green turn the triangle. Who will be on a file text and make up a dialog that you save the report, which will show the broken links, external links and orphaned files. After you move the files to your heart's content, rerun the link check and confirm that you moved the files you want to move. Make sure that you DON'T move files consciously... do not move the .htaccess files or .cgi files, etc.
Who will save you from actually having to 'write' file names!

Remove a file from the system32/drivers folder, keyboard does not
After receiving warnings from Kaspersky on the activity of type keylogging I foolishly deleted the file in the Windows\system32\drivers folder and after a disconnection cannot return the keyboard no longer works. Can't remember which file it was, but obviously, it must have been a keyboard driver. Tried in safe mode back to last good configuration and safe mode to identify you with no success. Tried a keyboard ps2 without success. Anyway around this or could it be fixed easily if I took it for repair?

Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library
There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library. When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens. The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer. However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!). I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me. How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library? I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).

Cannot remove CPTL file from the desktop using Vista
Hi all
I can't file CPTL remove office by using Vista. Explorer crashes. It is a Captivate 2 file.
I tried (with no luck):
-logging in as a different user and delete the file.
-l' Explorer running as administrator
-uninstall of Captivate.
Anyone got any ideas?
See you soon,.
GarnettHi Aaron,
I tried all your suggestions but not in the same order! The last thing I tried before posting here was to uninstall Captivate and I was still unable to delete the file (or rename). After uninstall AND restart the machine, I was still unable to delete the file, BUT I managed to rename the file (including the extension) and delete the file!
Thanks for getting back to me. It's a strange!
See you soon,.

ASP remove a file from the server
I did an application file sharing, and the description and filename are stored in my Access db, when I delete the recordset for the file I also want to delete the actual file. I am able to delete the file with the full path and name of the file as a variable,
with this code:
< %
Dim filepath
FilePath = Session("file_del")
Set filedel = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filedel. DeleteFile ("C:\localhost\CallCenter\EMPLOYEE_FILES\" & filepath), True
Set filedel = nothing
% >
I put the file name in the session variable file_del on the page that deletes the Recordset.
But I want to make it work on my hosted site without having to modify the path to my sites, I did this code:
< %
Dim filepath
FilePath = Session("file_del")
strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath (filepath)
Set filedel = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filedel. DeleteFile strPhysicalPath, True ' line causing the ERROR
Set filedel = nothing
% >
But the error just file not found.
If I just display the variable strPhysicalPath on the page without the delete action, it displays the correct path.
How can I get the strPhysicalPath to read, I tried every way I can think
filedel. DeleteFile strPhysicalPath, True
filedel. DeleteFile strPhysicalPath &, True
filedel. DeleteFile (strPhysicalPath), True
filedel. DeleteFile ("" & strPhysicalPath & "'"), it's true
filedel. DeleteFile (& strPhysicalPath), True
But none of them does not work?
Any help would be great
After a rest and a closer, I realized the mistake was in the line of mappath, was not including the folder as the files. strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath (filepath) was wrong, so, I added the name of the folder: strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath ("EMPLOYEE_FILES /" & filepath) then the file is deleted. so the complete code is:
< %="">< br="">Dim filepath, strPhysicalPath < br=""> filepath = Session("file_del") < br=""> strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath ("EMPLOYEE_FILES /" & filepath) < br="" >="" set="" filedel="CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")"> < br=""> filedel. DeleteFile (strPhysicalPath), True < br="" >="" set="" filedel="nothing"> < br=""> %>

I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.
The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.
