What are thousands of empty folders in \AppData\Local C:\Users\ (user) for?

Hello

I have noticed, in the \AppData\Local C:\Users\ (user), there are over 3000 records with weird names but nothing in it, well the few I checked.

Example {0EC54162-684A-4BDE-ABF8-C39A4DE499C0}

What is?

Would it not be prudent to get rid of them?

Yes, you can remove them.

You are probably using Windows Live Mail or other program Windows Live Essentials.

These folders are created when you start one of the programs essential.

They must be created in a temporary folder and delete, but unfortunately they are not.

  • There are 2 strange empty folders in my local files that refuse to be removed; How can I get rid of them?

    I'm trying to clean up the years of records that are no longer required, but two folders in the attached image will not go away. Can I delete one of them, but not both, but then the next time I use Thunderbird, both are there. I went to the profile folder, trash removed, but when I open Thunderbird, a junk folder is there and a second will be added soon.

    goto the menu help and select troubleshooting, and then click on show profile folder.

  • What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

    Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

    Hello

    I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

    I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

    What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

    Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

    AstoriaBoro

    You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

    Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

    Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

  • What are the benefits (if any) of transcoding to an intermediate editing for post production format?

    I have searched for an answer final to this day and impossible to get something useful.

    My recordings to the AVCHD format that is 24mbps H.264 video and audio camera (I record audio separately so audio is not a cause for concern). I use the following Adobe CC on Windows. I do a lot of green screen work.

    I read on many intermediate codecs designed for video editing. Include DNxHD of Avid, Apple ProRes, Cineform of GoPro, MXF OP1a, among others. As I understand it, these formats offer excellent features help video publishers to do their work.

    I was able to edit files directly AVCHD with Premiere Pro and after affects.

    My question is, what are the benefits, if any, I'd get if I converted my content from AVCHD to one of the intermediate formats before as I have start to change? It would speed up Adobe software? It would provide the best quality in the end? It would make various effects function better?

    Ultimately, all the videos I do will be encoded in the format h.264 for web distribution.

    Please note: I am not asking the workflow easier or more obvious (which is just to work with AVCHD files directly). I want to know if I can gain advantages in transcoding in another format before I in post-production and that these benefits are specifically for each of the different intermediate codecs.

    Thank you.

    Well, every format has its own advantages and disadvantages. Higher end codecs tend to be very large and take much more space, but behave better when apply effects or greenscreen work.

    However, you cannot really improve the quality that comes from your camera, it is an indispensable part of the workflow. You CAN transcode to, say, ProRes HQ and get better results with your fx work, but it will be as good as something turned on a higher end camera.

    Maybe do some tests on a small piece of video. Transcode into several codecs and do exactly the same treatment to all clips, including your original. Then compare them and see if the improvement is worth your time and additional hard drive space.

  • Cannot install some programs-can't create the output file in the AppData\Local\Temp user account

    When I try to install a program (.exe) it works winzip Self-extractor, which attempts to create a file in the directory Users\ (myusername) \AppData\Local\Temp\setup.exe

    I just installed windows 7 and had to happen one or two times before that, I think, but I re-uploaded the file and I tried again and it ended up working. Now when I try to install this program (Hava), he says that it is unable to create the output file.

    When I try to go to this place it doesn't even have the AppData folder I have to first create this path or is it a problem with the program? Any help is appreciated. Touch Pro

    Well, that's possible. As WinZip SFX has a small option to overwrite without confirmation box.

    You can move forward with delete the file setup.exe from the Temp folder in the sound is no longer used by any program (where its in the Temp folder)

    You can also try now is, since its opening a WinZIP Self Extracting Archive, you can try manually, and manually specify where to extract the files before you click ok.

    Once you do this, just run setup.exe from the specified location.

  • What are the implications of the definition of the db_4k_cache_size and db_16k_cache_size for other schemas?

    Hi all

    I have a node Oracle RAC 5 system. It's pretty tough, RAM, cpu, etc. Running on RHEL5 64 bit. I have a block size of 8K.

    I have a COTS application that is wanting to pay 128 M for 4K and 16K cache sizes...

    I have never before worked with databases of the combination block size... setting of these parameters, are there any impacts or implications on I need to study, especially considering that there are a number of other schemes for many other applications that already use this system of database?

    Links for reading and suggestions would be helpful.

    I found this: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B12037_01/server.101/b10755/initparams035.htm but it is hardly useful to know what impact this could have other applications that use the database.

    Thank you in advance,

    .

    My understanding is that objects of tablespaces with different block sizes will succeed only if you have already configured the db_cache_size and at least one

    DB_nK_CACHE_SIZEinitialization parameter.  As jgarry says there would be performance-related.  Oracle documentation "large cache sizes usually reduces the number of disk reads and writes. However, a large cache can take too much memory and induce memory paging or Exchange"

  • What are all the default iOS image (homescreen) files names and directions for all devices?

    There is no conflicting information. What I do is the correct orientation of my splash screen for landscape modes.

    I would like to know the names of files and their respective directions. For example by default - LandscapeRight.png must be an upside? Retorical because it certainly does not work right.

    Haha never mind. 2 problems, I assumed that the image by default - LandscapeRight.png must be returned and I had by default - Landscape.png which is probably not necessary.

  • What are the limits of the resolution of Photoshop Mix?

    I generated a .psd 2 layer on my Windows desktop that was size 8 x 10 to 300 ppi. Size about 23 MB of the file.

    I opened in Photoshop Mix on the iPad and made a montage.

    When I open the file on my desktop, it was resized to less than 50% of the resolution (from 3300 x 2474 to 1518 x 1138, about 10 MB).

    Is there a limit of resolution? I can't find any documentation on it.

    -If the limit of resolution is in fact this low, then the app is designed only for online vs print jobs and should be clarified.

    Thanks for any help!

    My apologies for the cross-validation:Photoshop mix on ipad - what are the limits of resolution?

    Hello

    Thank you for your interest and support on our application. We apologize for all the inconvenience. In order to correctly answer your question, could you be more specific on how you saved your file, it saves to PSD or recording on film?

    If you save the file in PSD, mixture of photoshop will try to find the best resolution in limit of 4096 x 4096. Otherwise, there is a limit of 2048 x 2048, such as savings for camera roll or publish on behance.

    In both cases, registered lower resolution image may result in zooming in two layers, since the zoomed region has a much lower resolution.

    Hope that answers your question. If this isn't the case, you can post your question here and we will be happy to answer you. In addition, we will provide full resolution recording on film very soon. Please bear with us. Thank you for your patience.

    too many of them?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    The folder is empty, but in fact, it contains the hidden files and folders. Files and folders are created and used by various applications. But, if you are sure that there are no file or folder even if you enable the display of the hidden files and folders, with the files and system files, (it's very unlikely, but it is likely), you can delete the folder, but pointed out that the folder will be created again.
    Folder names you mentioned are created by various applications. As mentioned above, their removal will prevent dependent applications to work properly.
