"31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_en - us_0d9ab85184576530" and amd64_ "ACPI.inf.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_en - us_0fd17a4d81427604" and each of these documents has 2 files inside... 1 file has 'acpi.sys.mui' and 'battc.sys.mui' and the 2nd file has the same files as well...

  • UNDELETABLE files or folders

    How can I delete a file or a folder that says he's NOT here, BUT I can see it?

    I guess that when I thought I had deleted the file or folder, that he was OPEN somewhere when I remove and then he got screwed up and it says is no file or folder, even when I see her.

    Hello

    ·        What is the record?

    ·        What is the exact error message you get when you try to delete the folder?

    I suggest to start in safe mode and then try to delete the folder and check if you're able to remove it or not.

    a. restart the computer and keep tapping F8 until you reach the start menu.

    b. Select SafeMode from the start menu, and press to enter.

    c. remove the folder and check if you're able to remove it or not.

    I suggest you run a virus online scan and verify.

  • 0 bytes of the file "not exist cannot be removed..." How can I delete? (SOLVED)

    I have some files on my hard drive which say that they don't exist when I try to delete them.  There are 4 files all of what sont0 bytes and say that they "do not exist" when I try to delete them. I tried "AVG Shredder" and "Deletedr", but these files will not remove... I also tried via a command prompt and manually remove... Here's a picture of me trying to delete 2 files problem: PHOTO #1

    The file is not locked there "is no"... I just need to know how to remove it. For example, if I send you the download link and you downloaded the same file of 0 bytes would be on your system by mistake. You also wouldn't be able to delete it. If no solution anyone?

    EDIT: I found a solution online here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/79699-undeletable-file-delete.html

    All I had to do was turn off explorer.exe, then delete the file using the command line. Please note that you MUST finish explorer.exe so that it works for anyone else having this problem.

  • BlackBerry Smartphone camera App missing?

    I looked through all my files and I delete it. How can I get that back?

    I found how to fix my situation. Maybe this will help.

    1. Turn off the phone.
    2. Remove the battery.
    3. Wait a few seconds.
    4. Put the battery back in.
    5. Return-turn on the phone (in some cases, it can restart itself at this stage).

    This seems to put something else in the operating system, if it is corrupt, but you do not lose your contacts, installed applications, things like that. I hope this works for you, too!

    It also got rid of my mysterious undeletable file and cannot be used at the same time.

  • How can I give administrator permission on my own computer?

    I am trying to disable or remove an unwanted executable, and I probably lost hours of fighting with my computer (my property) who keeps telling me that I have to give permission to the administrator. This includes selecting Properties/Security and editing permissions. Only Windows 7 wants me so that I can work with MY computer?

    Moreover, I gave Windows 7 a bad reference on Amazon.com for, among other things, transform a printer $ 200 in a Clipboard, to waste hundreds of dollars of other software for which I paid a lot of money (despite the Compatibility Mode selection) and wasting my time instead to save time for me. It's yet another example of having to fight with Microsoft product instead of using it for productivity.

    On your undeletable file: activate the account administrator, then Safe Mode boot, log on as administrator, and then delete the file. If repeated failure and then post the exact error message you see, including the name and location of the problem file.

    On Windows 7: If you don't like your car Ford Motor, then you by a Chevrolet instead. If Windows 7 does not satisfy your needs then you are installing an alternative operating system, for example a free Linux-based types. Alternately, you could fall back to Windows XP.

  • I have never installed SW GEAR but it's UNDELETABLE in my XP registry, although the files are not on PC.

    Hello

    I have never installed software GEAR, but:

    'C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\GEARAspiWD_3B7AACF0636A2C042EB7AD2AFF76D37B27BDD28C\GEARAspiWDM.inf '.

    is UNDELETABLE in my XP registry, although the GEARAspiWDM.inf file is not on my PC.

    I thought he had a GEAR knowledge base - so many people have had problems with this - but I'm not.

    How can I remove any mention of my recording GEAR? The INF file has at least 6 addresses:

  • Undelete to recover a file LARGER than 4 GB

    I accidentally delete a folder with many files of size greater than 4 GB.  I've tried so far the following application:

    (1) recuva
    (2) GetDataBack for NTFS v4.0
    (3) file Scavenger 3.2

    and none of them can see files greater than 4 GB.  I have a bit of luck trying to recover these files?
    Is there some custom settings I have applied?
    Or is this a limitation of Vista?

    OS: Vista Premium 64-bit
    Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz
    4 GB OF RAM

    appreciate all help.  If there is another application that will recover the files larger than 4 GB, please let me know and I'll buy it.
    So far, I've already lost some $$$.

    Best regards
    John

    It is a long shot.
    If you did no action in the case since the deletion, then try to do a [Ctrl] [Z].  This will reverse the last action.

  • 2 GB of files temporary undeletable

    Hello

    I used CCleaner and I saw that he concluded more than 2 GB of temporary files. He tried to remove them, but the files are still there. I ran the disk cleanup utility and he said that there are no temporary files. so I opened the folder %TEMP%, and I noticed the files really are inside. What can I do with the files? I'm afraid to remove manually because I saw an uninstall application, some of the visual c# source files and my user account in the folder image.

    How can I get rid of the files (without affecting the programs in my computer)?

    Thank you for your answer!

    PS: Sorry for my bad English, it is not my mother tongue.

    Well, is not uncommon for its opinion to be in disagreement with what think Windows... :-)

    If CCleaner will not delete them either, they must be important or are locked.

  • 8.1 Windows upgrade-C file undeletable

    Hello

    4 months ago, I bought a laptop HP with Windows 8 is installed. I waited 4 months to upgrade to 8.1 thinking that the system would be very different and I was right! I hoped to be able to download Microsoft Security Essentials, but couldn't, even if Microsoft promissed, it would be possible.

    My question is quite different. After the upgrade from 8 to 8.1 I was stuck with a record of old C extra 30 GB (when Microsoft boasts that the 8.1 is lighter) which I was UNABLE to erase the because I did not have permissions (I tried everything). I've missed something in the process, or is there a way to delete the old folder C?

    Thank you for the support of Paul. Did you come by the way?

  • Time Capsule removed old sparse file

    Hi, I have one capsule 2 TB which has deleted the computer of my wife up and replaced back with 2 new fragmented files (one for my old macbook and one for my new macbook... Save to my wife but is no longer there).  Can anyone help on how to restore a deleted file sparse?

    Thank you

    J

    Almost impossible.

    The time Capsule has not deleted the backup... Only from time Machine can do without you open the disk in the Finder and deleted manually. TM can delete the backups for all sorts of reasons, but the most common is corruption. The backup failed a check and were found damaged beyond the point of usefulness.

    If you have opened the disk in the Finder and the sparsebundle TM went then restore could only be made by removing disk using undelete software as rescue diskwarrior or data... because it would break and the CT also any warranty, and extremely unlikely that work as used space is probably now assigned to the new macbook sparsebundle... I would not bother.

    Start a new backup after making sure the TC has enough space for 3 computers.
