There are about 10 subfolders on the computer. None can be deleted, moved, or renamed without one appearing in the message. I tried UNLOCKER ASSISTANT & DELINVFILE get rid of this file.

Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion and you have to force the deletion in this case: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/).

  • __File names are larger than is supported by the file system

    I tried to upgrade from Vista to 7, but the upgrade attempted to restore Vista.  To exit a loop of reboot, I started from the drive of W7 upgrade went to the command prompt and found a folder with subfolders 25.  After moving them to another directory, I was able to get the roll to Vista is complete.  I tried to delete the record with 25 subfolders.  But I get the error message "the folder contains items whose names are too long for the trash.  and "the names of source files are larger than is supported by the file system.  Try to move to a location that has a shorter path name, or try renaming to shorter name (s) before launching the operation".  I tried shift-delete to bypass the Recycle Bin, but it does not work.  I tried moving and able to copy to a different folder after what I was able to remove the old records but could not delete the new folder.  Now, for some reason any I can rename the subfolder name (they were all named "Downloads"), but when I did it it would create several subfolders named "downloads".  So now I have 60-70 subfolders, rather than the original 25.

    Does anyone has a suggestion or a program to help me remove the offending folder?  Should I go on my recovery drive and recover Vista of the D: drive on the C: drive?  If this does not work, will it reformat the hard drive?  If I reformat, how to move to Windows 7?  Thanks for any help.

    HII secoch ,

    Thanks for posting your queries.

    I hope you have this problems, but this forum is to help everyone, I want something here too, I did too and it really helped.

    First thing is you do not need to download all programs for this.

    Like, Windows has problems dealing with extra long path/filenames. If the
    combination of the names of access road and closer to 255 characters (127 for
    Windows 95/98/me) Windows probably not manage it well, if you try to remove or
    Rename it (you can create it, but not change it). The first
    thing is trying to rename some of the files which lead to the queue
    himself. The directory displayed a level of return, and then select Rename the
    folder the file is located in. Try a single letter (of course, to keep a record of what
    folder you called that so you can reverse the process!). Then, return to the
    file and see if Windows then you can rename or remove. Otherwise, go back
    yet another folder and rename this one and so on. At some point, you should be
    be able to find a series of folder names of reduced length which you can then
    Rename the file to a name that is short enough to allow you to recreate then
    the original directory tree and still work with the file in question.  In fact, the main goal is to try to make the shortest path of length instead of only the file name and the folder name.

    I also hope that this help option.  If this isn't the case, please after return or PIN me.

  • The names of the source files are larger than is supported by the file system. Try to move to a location that has a shorter path name, or try renaming to name more short (s) before performing this operation.

    OK, so I don't know how it happened, but for some reason I have this folder on my external hard drive, that whenever I try to delete it, I get this error: http://i45.tinypic.com/1h6o7b.jpg
    Now, after receiving this error, I tried the obvious thing to do, rename the folder and try to delete it again, only to have the opposite effect on me. For some reason whenever I have any rename the folder it automatically creates another folder in the newly renamed folder. As you can tell by the small bar of directory at the top of the screen shot I tried to rename the folder repeatedly. So now I'm stuck with a bunch of files without value with nothing in it at all without being able to delete them. If I rename the folders, then when I get to the end it is what seems to be a folder but when I right click on it I have virtually no options as http://i46.tinypic.com/34xlzf9.jpg seen. This is really driving me crazy that I want to keep my files organized, so does anyone have any ideas what I could do? This is someone who has exactly the same problem I have the link at the bottom here. I tried to shift + delete to bypass the trash can and the last file on a network drive mapping.

    Right click on the desktop and click on views and there should be three options for selecting the size of the icons.  If they are too big, choose one of the smaller options and see if it suits you better.

  • Updated data are larger than the buffer cache

    Hi Experts,

    I have a small request. I have a table called CONTENT to have 12 GB of data. Here, I pulled a single update statement that updates to 8 GB of CONTENTS table of data using 1 GB of database buffer cache?

    How 1 GB of the Database Buffer Cache will be used to update the 8 GB of data? Level architectural any additional changes will happen (than usual) when executing "Updated data is larger than the buffer cache"?

    Could someone of you please response. Thank you

    Database: 10.2.0.5

    OS: Power 5-64 bit AIX system

    Hello

    the basic mechanism is the following:

    needed to update data blocks are read from the data files and cached in memory (buffer cache), the update is made to the buffer cache and the front of the (UNDO) image is stored in the segments of cancellation, operation (update here) is re-encoded to redo buffer until it goes again files If the buffer is samll or we need more space in the buffer cache, or we have a control point or... Oracle writes back the block modified data files to free the memory buffer for the more blocks.

    While the other runs the update of transactions can read before you change the image of CANCEL if validation, at the end of the transaction done change is confirmed and validation is recorded in the redo. If the cancellation is made at the end of the transaction before the image is "restored" and rollback is saved in do it again.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • Migration of Time Machine to the new drive, backups are larger than the Original drive

    I am currently migrating my Time Machine backups from a 2 TB WD My Passport for Mac to a new WD 6 to my book for Mac. I have 63 backups on the old disk, and Finder says that the reader has TB filled 1.96.

    However, each individual backup is about 350 GB, which certainly does not. I think normally it was something weird with the Finder listing the wrong sizes, except that when I copy the backups to the new disk, they copy effectively to 350GB a piece. I initially tried to copy everything the ~ 2 TB Backups.backupdb at once, but it was so great, she didn't, then I copy on each both a backup in a folder that I had planned to rename "Backups.backupdb" at the end. At this rate, I will fill new TB cases 6 drive long before copying all backups on.

    How is that possible?

    Just to be complete, I'm using a Macbook Pro of the retina 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 graphics card Intel HD 4000 1536 MB, 512 GB of storage, under OS X 10.11.3.

    Time Machine saves the previous backups for the continuous backup size to become more wider until there is no more space on the backup drive. It is quite normal because Time Machine is an archive backup utility.

    There are a few things you can try:

    Change the resolution of the screen;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    Then try to change the screen resolution.

    Or do a system restore to before that happened.

  • CAN´t, I sell electronic products that are larger than 100 MB?

    Hello

    I can´t find all the information on that and I can´t see how I can download a file bigger than the size of 100 MB as e-product. It seems odd that 100 MB is not so good.

    Thank you very much

    Nicolai.

    Hi Nicolai,

    Unfortunately, the maximum limit is set to 100 MB and can not be updated at this point.

    To work around the problem if you need extra storage, you can use an external storage (dropbox, etc.).  Then, for electronic products file download instructions (doc, pdf, txt) for the client on how to access the product, once they buy.

    I hope this helps!

  • The User Interface is larger than it should be, how can we solve this problem?

    Our marketing director is an issues with its user of Acrobat interface.  His vision of the overall UI is twice as big as it should.  We uninstalled and checked preferences but nothing has changed, everything up in the toolbar and stickies are larger than it should be, anyone have any suggestions or fix for this issue?

    Thank you

    Billy

    Hi Billy,

    I suspect that the size of the text in the control panel of the system is 150%?

    It can simply go in Acrobat preferences-> General-> then change the 'screen resolution grid' at 100%. This will force the user interface to operate at 100% as it did before.

    Please let me know if it works.

    Thank you

  • < Unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore '< indeterminate datastore >.

    I know that this issue has much spoken in the forums, but the answers are always to make sure that your block sizes are set to 8 MB - mine are already. Let me explain:

    I have a virtual machine with a large amount of connected storage - something along the lines of discs 10 x 1.99 to. Sit all VMDK on partitions of the VMFS of 8 MB of size block, including the configuration of the VM (location of the pagefile).

    Every time I try and snapshot of the virtual machine, I see the "< unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < unspecified datastore >. All other virtual machines instant fine, but any other VM has a similar amount of storage as the VM problem.

    I have now moved the configuration files of the virtual machine to a new partition VMFS 5 of 1.91 TB, but the instant error persists. Most of the readers is sitting on VMFS 3.33 or 3.46. It will take me a while to move all VMFS 5 to see if that solves the problem.

    VMware.log for VM reports:

  • Kind for groups under construction according to the Source file name property

    Hello

    I use a script to load the 4 files in th data portals and later graphic some selected channels. The problem is that when I choose the files via a dialog box, the order mixes in the data portal. I wish the files to be sorted according to the name of the source file. Here's the script of loading:

    Dim i, intLoop, group b
    Call Data.Root.Clear)
    If FileDlgShow (DataReadPath, "TDMS files, *.tdms", "DataSelection", True) = "IDOk" then
    For i = 0 to UBound (FileDlgNameList)
    Call the DataFileLoad (FileDlgNameList (i), "TDMS", "Load") DataFilename, FileImportFilter, ImportAction
    Next
    End If

    Is there a way I can do?

    Thank you!

    Hi Saloutios,

    You can sort the table of FileDlgNameList using the BubbleSort algorithm, for example:

    Void BubbleSort (arr)
    Dim value, numEls
    Dim index
    Dim firstItem
    Dim indexLimit, lastSwap
    "take into account the optional arguments.
    numEls = UBound (arr)
    firstItem = LBound (arr)
    lastSwap = numEls
    Do
    indexLimit = lastSwap - 1
    lastSwap = 0
    For index = firstItem to indexLimit
    value = arr (index)
    If (value > arr (index + 1)) then
    "If the elements are not in order, redeem them
    (Index) ARR = arr (index + 1)
    ARR (index + 1) = value
    lastSwap = index
    End If
    Next
    LastSwap loop while that
    End Sub

    The input array is sorted after that you called this procedure.

    Hope this helps
