Zero byte in desktop file - cannot remove

Hello

I have a zero-byte file in my office that I can't remove. I tried dragging it to the trash, by pressing the button Delete, right click and delete, rename and move, but nothing happens. When you try to remove it, a message appears saying that the file is no longer in my office, but I see that there and he will tell me to try again.

One of these three options should work.

1: see if it will remove after you start in safe mode.

2: try to drag on the C drive and delete from there.

  • zero byte jpg 1000 files?

    I recently discovered 1000 of grayed out of jpg files in our user folder that tell all zero bytes and the claim was created in 1970 (not born then) and amended in 1984 (was in elementary school playing with Dataman.) Looking at the file name looks like that they are derived from our Photo/iPhoto library, although the file names one slightly modified. When I tried to put one in the bin I get this message

    "Some of the elements that you are moving are in use by another application. Move the items can cause problems with the application using them. Are you sure you want to move these items? ', although nothing seemed to happen when I did this and could then empty the trash.

    They don't seem to be causing no problem other than cluttering the folder of the user who is a pain.

    I wonder if it is safe to remove them and they came from?

    See you soon

    Try this:

    Quit all applications (not the Finder), even those in the menu bar if there are.

    Then sort the column 'genre', in list view Finder so that all .jpg files are together, select them all, move it to the trash.

    Restart the mac and empty the trash.

    All of the pdf files I've downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared."  I can open and view them, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a message saying my trial has expired and he wants me to buy which I can't do because I don't have a serial number to put in. What happened to the "free" Adobe Reader I thought I had?  How can I get these PDF files to become mobile?

    You (or someone) downloaded the free demo of Acrobat Pro, a little more than a month. If you use this software $20 / free months instead of drive for a month. If you don't want to buy it, now you must uninstall it and go back to the use of Acrobat Reader.

After uninstall AND restart the machine, I was still unable to delete the file, BUT I managed to rename the file (including the extension) and delete the file!

    Thanks for getting back to me. It's a strange!

  • Can I remove "zero-byte" & "there are no ready application to open the document...". » ?

    As above.

    (1) If a Cache shows "zero-byte" in the list of information, safely remove it?

    (2) in addition, safely remove it ESPECIALLY if it says "Apple" in the name?

    (3) and, if "there is no set application to open the document...". "etc, can I safely delete that also?

    I will soon migrate to another mac and see no need to take things with what I don't need.  I won't delete the above, if I need.  As long as they do not have a hidden need to exist, so I don't have need of them.

    To be honest, when I click on read the information, I see nothing that I understand anyway.

    For 1 and 2 OK to delete it.

    What do you mean for #3? Is this a real file? A zero-byte file?

    What are the names of files?

  • FILE cannot BE DELETED, the file size of the file type 'file' "0 bytes"

    I downloaded a music file of myfreemp3.eu, he wasn't .mp3.  He was able to play a couple of times, but now does not open.  Now, I can't move or delete it from the downloads folder, system do not see.  its properties are of TYPE 'file' and SIZE '0 bytes. "  Error message is "unable to find this article. It is no longer in xxx, etc.

    I tried many suggestions to remove it without success.

    I have Vista 2007 service pack 2.  I tried in safe mode, tried to move to another folder, tried to run without windows, search, folder to never display thumbnails, tried Mandrake Move, but it was outdated, orders back cmd has tried to delete. Also tried to delete with disabled explorer.exe.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you Ganesh and Hetti.  I just finally deleted my ghost file.  I used the safe mode and cmd.

    I went into the directory of downloads in the BACK, the used command DIR / X to find out the name of the file.

    He was ~ 1 at the end of the file name.   I used DEL filename ~ 1 and the file disappeared.  I checked the

    trash and he wasn't there either.  I rebooted the computer and found no trace of the file.

    The controls were as follows,

    CD C:\users\my name\downloads

    dir / x (to find the full file name,)

    del (to remove the file)

    I could probably use alternative command

    del *. *.

    Thank you again and maybe it helps someone else.  I ran the control with the repair disc, but that did not remove the ghost file.  I could also not delete the downloads folder.  Create the same named file with 0 bytes not working anymore.  I tried the latest version of Mandrake then.

  • WRT610N - file Copies Bill fine, but the result in zero-byte files

    Hello

    I have a WRT610N and player USB Western Digital 1 TB connected to it.   When I try to copy files from another PC connected wireless, or a desktop PC connected via cable, the copy of the proceedings very well, no error, but the files then appear as zero byte files, unnecessary.  I can read the files that I wrote with the drive connected directly to a PC via USB.  I have the latest firmware.

    I converted the FAT32 to NTFS file system and it seems to work fine now.

    Thank you very much!

  • Cannot remove illustrates file listed in the file Explorer Vista - does not exist?

    I managed to create a zero-byte file "bomadvice11.cycs" from a coded application that appears in the Explorer of files, but when you try to remove it receives the message "unable to find this article. It is not located in... Check the location of the item and try again. Also can not delete it from the command prompt. File is also crashing the synchronization software. Have you tried a check disk to reboot to clear it but no luck. File is not in a folder protected etc.

    SystemsEng,
    Try the following to try to remove the directory that the file is in.  If this does not work, I recommend looking into a third-party file removal tool.

    Open a command prompt
    * Go to the drive where the file undeletable. For example, C:
    * If you are type c:
    * Go to the folder where, in my case it was located in C:\_cache\delete\ folder problem
    * The folder I could not remove called him "happy tree friends" (friend of tree C:\_cache\delete\happy) then I typed:

    C:
    _cache CD
    removal of CD
    (as you can see I do not open the folder problem itself)
    * Type: dir /x. Directory listing is displayed containing the 8.3 names of folders and files, in my case it showed: happyt ~ 1
    * And then type: rd happyt ~ 1 (replace happyt ~ 1 with the name of the folder see you)
    * The folder is deleted.

  • 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
