    Hi templar_39,

    DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

    This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

    Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

    If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

    Step 1: A scanner online for any threat and try to correct

  • I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time.

    I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time. How can I select multiple files at the same time so I can just delete them. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Media Player, but this function seems now blocked or unavailable. The problem is this: through previous use of media player, it plays all my multimedia files several times whenever a device support has been added. He would try to save the files on my main drive, but since there is not enough room this would save the files somewhere else. This happened several times, I suppose, because when I upgraded my computer and a media scan was conducted he found duplicates of all my media various times of at least 6-8. I've consolidated since my plates on 3-disc multi to, but have now records duplicated hundreds and thousands of duplicate media files. Previous versions of Media Player would allow me to select all files and then delete them both of the reader, but also from my hard drive. So now I'm stuck with more than 300 GB of duplicate media I have to search line by line through all my hard drives to find each duplicate both, unless I can get media player to do what it can. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. is Windows media player files in double creation during playback of music files?

    To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.

    If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can use the Add to library dialog box to search computer to analyze a file on your computer the duplicate entries not valid-pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.

    Complete the steps above for files that are stored in the hard disks.

    Method 1: Use the add to Library dialog box search for computers

    (a) start Windows Media Player.

    (b) press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

    (c) click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

    If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library. Specify the folder on your computer that corresponds to the path not valid file displayed in your library.

    (d) click on the Search button.

    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.

    If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by right-clicking on the invalid entry, and then clicking Delete .

    For large double-number of entries in your library (or if all your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library and delete the files.

    Method 2:

    After you remove the duplicate entries, run the troubleshooting of Windows Media Library settings to solve this problem.

    Open the troubleshooter in Windows Media Library

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows 7, cannot remove the burn files after back to the top

    I have a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. A year ago I started a return upwards to put on a disc. The backup failed at the time because I ran out of records to put on (had no idea that it would take as much!).

    Since then I tried to delete these temporary burn files from the F drive, but every time I click on the option, it breaks down and wrote files are used by another program. I went through and individually deleted most of them, but I still have a few huge to get the judgment and cannot remove the program (86), or on the desktop to the top, mean that they are used by another program.

    I burned a CD of all these left during the backup of files and that worked, but the files are still sitting in my drive F, I still can't delete the temporary versions... its taking a lot of space and I got the bsod a couple of times.

    I also tried folder in the start menu and delete the temporary files in this way, but it did not result in the F drive.

    I tried to rename the temporary files so that I could remove them too, but not to chance it.

    I have disc clean up all the time, this doesn't always help with the F drive.

    Your opinion would be appreciated!

    See you soon

  • Cannot remove the baggage files

    So I have a file of baggage with no reference more in my project, but the "delete" button is grayed. I manually deleted the rhbag.apj file, but it still appears in my list of hatracks.

    Any ideas?

    Aaron,

    Before you take this .cpd file...

    Make a copy of the .cpd file.

    Launch of MS Access and open the .cpd file (copy).

    Click here to view the TABLES.

    Two tables are relevant: hatracks and references to files of luggage.

    The database structure is not difficult to understand.

    The baggage files table lists and assigns a number to each file of luggage (he thinks) is part of the project. If there is an entry for a file here, you believe does not exist, it is a glitch. Remove this record from the database of the .cpd (copy). (You can also follow Peter instructions on how to delete and re-create a file .cpd.)

    References to the baggage files table lists each link by luggage and heading number file number. (There is another table that lists and assigns a number to every topic that - that it believes - is part of the project). If the table of authorities entry, see who reportedly has a link. If it's a bad entry, get rid of it.

    Temporarily rename the original .cpd file and rename the copy as the original. Open the HR project.

    (Otherwise, trash and regenerate the .cpd file and open the project.)

    Good luck.
