The files to delete?

My C drive is full of 94%. What are the files delete to free up space? Any recommendations?

You can uninstall programs you don't want to do the maintenance to make sure that you don't have a lot of temporary and Temporary Internet Files, too much space. You can copy your data (music, movies, photos) on an external hard drive. Wipe your hard drive internal once they are safely on the outside. Or you can buy a bigger hard drive and clone the original system to it.

  • Where Firefox temporarily store user.js settings when the file is deleted after a first run?

    Hello

    Try to deploy user settings in our area via user.js, I do not want to be forced inside the GUI. So I save a user.js file temporarily in the user profile, launch Firefox now and then delete the file again. Now, all the settings have become part of Firefox' settings but I can't find them in the prefs.js or user.js. Now my question is: where Firefox stores this information? Is there a SQlite DB be somewhat different in the registry? In fact, I don't want to get rid of my script isn't that kind of lack of fault tolerance and complicated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Simon

    No worries - this isn't your Setup, it's always a problem get it right first time...

    Let's start it is super simple - put this in the file local - settings.js in/defaults/pref:

    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    

    and then in mozilla.cfg which must go in the same folder as following firefox.exe (these files should probably be ANSI encoded this way):

    //
    lockPref("lis.a.a", 2);
    

    doesn't this show preferably upwards in all: config subsequently, when you launch the browser?

  • Despite the default homepage, pref. of the file being deleted. (twice), it always opens in the window of welcome, next my homepage tab, add on audit does not end.

    everytime I open firefox. looking for flashes Add-ons add up and disappears then home page opens, my home page tab is next to her. I uninstalled firefox. delete the file. has asked my personal information protection program to ignore firefox all to nothing done. I know that I can change user.js but don't know how. I can open in Notepad by following the instructions in the help files but have no idea what to do and what to change.

    You have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder?

    Such a file is not there by default, so if it is there then you or other software or a Firefox extension created it.

  • Without going into the file to delete files

    When I delete the files in the box as they are supposed to go in the folder to be deleted, but since 04/10/13 I can't consult one of these deleted files.

    Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the DBX file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
     
     
    General precautions for Outlook Express:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program.

  • When you delete files (in Windows 7) Explorer hangs on 'calculate' the size of the files to delete. This problem also occurs in Windows Vista (out and included SP1).

    When this problem happens:
    * You try to delete files, from any folder: a folder user protected (such as your desktop), a protected windows folder (such as program files) or an unprotected folder you created yourself (for example, a folder named "test" on your C permit)
    * The problem only occurs when you try to delete files using Windows Explorer. The problem only IS NOT OCCUR when you delete the files from another system using one hand (log on to another computer, open a shared folder, for example by opening \\windows7system\c$\test and try to remove this folder).

    What's happening:
    * Explorer crashes when 'Calculating' the features of folder.

    Question:
    * Why is this happening? It seems to be a problem in Explorer, not in the delete code actually (since the problem does not occur with one hand)

    I don't know the underlying cause or how to fix it. However, something like Unlocker would work.

  • I uplaoded a shared review in a digital system and cannot see all comments after the file is deleted from the review tracker. What is going on?

    When I do not remove the review of the Scout, the comments show. I don't want to use all my memory on the conservation of the comments in the review tracker!

    I think that this is on purpose.  The review of files is deleted on the server if the author removes their "Sent" in the Adobe Tracker program review file review.  What we do is: once the review is completed, create a copy of "archives" that has the comments embedded permanently. Then you can remove it from your tracker, which removes the review and comments. Adobe sees comments shared as temporary spaces, I guess. Logic, if you look at it this way.

    If your procedure requires to keep a review will never, well, I guess you need to keep in your tracker.

    You can hide the old comments by creating a folder and moving them here (right click "sent", "create a new folder"). I don't think it's "with the help of your memory".

  • Time Machine - how to restore the files it deleted?

    I used Time Machine to restore your desktop earlier. In doing so he erased the current Office - which I had not saved. I know, I know. But is it possible to get the most recent desktop and its folders and files again?

    You cannot recover the files that you do not backup.

    NEVER start a major change to a computer without backup in progress...

    In any case... you are where you are now...

    How did you restore?

    If you have used assistant migration did you use the same usernames... If so, the old office went and wiped on... but if get it has used an audit of different username for users on the computer and the connection with the old name. Also, make sure that the name is not incremented. Recover can operate with two users with the same name... the existing and recovered... so it can rename one... for example, aickind (1) can exist with aickind (regardless of your user name on the computer).

    In the Finder, see the list of users. Open them directly from the main boot disk... not your usual list of Finder.

    If you use the wizard to configure the recovery partition... As far as I know you have wiped the computer from the recovery date... After all, it's what you asked to do.

  • exclamation point for songs matching when the file is deleted

    It doesn't stop of getting more bizarre.  When I delete the songs to get the version of iTunes, an exclamation point is carried by the song instead of the cloud with the arrow. I double-click on the song and he said: "the 'X' song could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? "Then I hit Cancel it. He then removed the exclamation point, puts the cloud with the arrow through it, as usual, ready for me to click on it and download. In addition, he can now play the song. I have thousands of them in my collection. What I have to double-click on each song and click Cancel so that it it is labeled correctly for iTunes to download game. Yes, I checked library iCloud.

    It is the latest version of iTunes 12.3.2.35.  Any suggestions on how I can select all the pieces with this problem and that iTunes is to define each song correctly?
