  • Should I (and can I) delete Program Files (x86) folder in Windows 7?

    I installed Windows 7 32 bit over a Windows Vista 64 bit computer. I had to reinstall all applications (Office, etc.) and they were installed in the new folder 'Program files'. Can I just delete the old 'Program Files (X86)' folder? Should I do that? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is impossible to upgrade a 64-bit operating system to a 32-bit operating system, no matter it is an OEM disk or not.
    Windows 7 32-bit does not include the “Program Files (x86)” folder. Only the 64-bit operating systems have it. In this case, the 64-bie operating system is Windows Vista 64-bit.
    In addition, if you performed a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on the old system (Windows Vista 64-bit) partition, the old system files should be saved in C:\Windows.old folder.
    So, Folk70, did you perform a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on another hard disk drive? After logging into Windows 7 32-bit, then you found the “Program Files (x86)” folder in the Windows Vista 64-bit system partition?
    If not, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?

  • I download confidential info & save to a secured flash drive; how can I delete the file from "downloads" after that?

    I am a mental health professional. My supervisor emails me confidential information as Word documents, which I download using Firefox. When the download is complete, I open the document and save it to my secured flash drive. I would like to then delete the file from my computer, so the flash drive has the only copy, to protect my clients' privacy. The only directions I can find are for deleting the entry from the downloads list, but not the file itself.

    There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

  • How can I delete the files .DS_store in Mac OS Yosemite?

    How can I delete the files .DS_store in Mac OS Yosemite?

    The .DS_Store file is normal. It holds certain settings related to the folder it is found in. Removing these files is futile, as they will come back, as you have observed.
    If you are seeing them on your Mac, that means you have changed settings so that your Mac is showing invisible files in the Finder. To reverse that, run the following command in the Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
    This will hide them, and any other invisible files, from view.
    If you are seeing them on a Windows machine, just ignore them. They're not doing any harm.
    If you found a Terminal command that is supposed to stop them from being created, I would be extremely skeptical as to the wisdom of running it.

  • Can i delete ALL files in directory ?

    i create a upload test using FileReference & PHP.
    In this scenario user upload files to http server.
    Now how can i delete all files in /files/uploads folder in AS3
    AS3 Code:
    req = new URLRequest();
    req.url = ( stage.loaderInfo.parameters.f )? stage.loaderInfo.parameters.f : "http://www.website.com/test/upload.php";
    uploadFile = new FileReference();
    select_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, browse );
    uploadFile.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, complete_func );
    uploadFile.addEventListener( DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, show_message );
    function browse( e:MouseEvent )
              filefilters = [new FileFilter('Images',"*.jpg;*.png;*.gif")];
              uploadFile.browse( filefilters );
    function complete_func( e:Event )
              trace( 'complete !' );
    function show_message(e:DataEvent)
    if (e.data == 'ok')
              label_txt.text = 'The file has been uploaded.';
    else if ( e.data == 'error')
              label_txt.text = 'The file could not be uploaded.';
    PHP Code:
    <?php
    $uploads_dir = './files/uploads';
    if( $_FILES['Filedata']['error'] == 0 ){
              if( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploads_dir.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] ) ){
                        echo 'ok';
                        exit();
    echo 'error';
    exit();
    ?>

    You need call another PHP file
    <?php
       $directory = './files/uploads';
       getDirectoryList ($directory);  
       //This function find all the files in the directory
       function getDirectoryList ($directory)
         // create an array to hold directory list
         $results = array();
         // create a handler for the directory
         $handler = opendir($directory);
         // open directory and walk through the filenames
         while ($file = readdir($handler)) {
           // if file isn't this directory or its parent, add it to the results
           if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        //$results[] = $file;
         // Delete Files
        $filename = $file;
      unlink($filename); //this delete a file
         // tidy up: close the handler
         closedir($handler);
    ?>

  • I can't delete a file in the Content-Management

    Hello,
    I can't delete a file in the Content-Management, altough I have full control.
    I get the following error message:
    System error (com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException): null
    Many thanks for the help.

    Dear SAPMuffel ,
    As far as we can see the error "com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException" is telling that the resource you are trying to delete could not be found, that is also to say, it might not exist any more.
    So please let me know exactly how you can reproduc this issue?
    and what kind of file it is? under what kind of KM repository? 
    Is there any other file under the same KM folder?
    Also you can reproduce the issue and then check the lastest defaulttrace file under this folder:
    ../j2ee/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.*.trc
    here you can find the detailed exception.
    Best Regards,
    Thunder

  • Can i delete a file on my external disk?

    I have a toshiba external hard disk. When i plug it into my macbook air, i can only see my documents and copy them to the macbook or copy files from macbook to hard disk. But i can't delete any file on my external disk. How can i can do it?

    It sounds like you originally used this drive with a Windows PC. Drives formatted as Windows NTFS can be read by a Mac but not written to (files cannot be deleted). If you want to keep the files that are on the drive, you can use Paragon NTFS (it's about $20) to install a driver allowing your Mac to write to the drive and delete files. This will allow you to continue to use the drive with both Mac and PC.
    Or, if you have copied off all the files you need, you can use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder to wipe and reformat the drive to Mac format. You will no longer be able to use the drive with a PC.

  • Creative Zen 8GB - Can't delete certain files (Write Protected it sa

    I have added a bunch of mp3s, images and videos to my player, but now when I try to delete some of these files I get a "you can't delete this file because it's write protected", if I check the properties of such files they are infact write protected but there's no way for me to uncheck the box and make them deletable.
    Anyone with the same problem or with a handy solution?
    P.S. I updated already to the latest firmware.

    Yes; I got my Zen this week and had the same problem when I copied over some MP3 files from a CD-ROM, which are write protected when the CD-ROM is created. I thought that the Zen was defecti've but now feel this is either a programmers misunderstanding of Windows Read Only functionality in the Zen -or- when you protect a file from deletion within the Zen, this is what the firmware sets to flag the file as 'Protected (I have not researched this yet).
    My Fix: For some of you this will not be the answer you are looking for but it works and will kept your Zen music file structure and library intact.
    You may need to switch to MTP mode in the creative software before you are allowed to use this technique. Search the forum where to find this checkbox. Otherwise your XP may be able to nati'vely open Explorer windows to the Zen.
    Setup: Open two Windows Explorer windows on your desktop. In one, create a new folder on a hard dri've that has enough space to handle all the music files on your Zen. In another Explorer window, navigate to the Zen music folder.
    1. Use Windows Explorer to copy ALL of your music files From the Zen to a new folder on your computer's hard dri've. If you don't have enough room on your hard dri've (and if not, why don't you? ) move files in stages.
    2. When the files are in your hard dri've's folder, right-click on the new folder and select Properties. Deselect (Uncheck) the Read Only attribute checkbox. If another dialog is displayed, select "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" and click 'OK'. This will make all your files deletable on the Zen.
    3. Copy (drag) all the files back to your Zen, overwriting the original files.
    That's it. In the future perform step two before copying any files to the Zen.

  • Can't Delete Some Files on Media Vault

     I have hundreds of files on my Media Vault, and I often delete old files I
    no longer need. But once in a while I can't delete a file, and get this error
    message:"You require permission from Unix User\nobody to make changes to this
    file." Does anyone know how I can get in touch with User\nobody so I can ask for
    permission?
    Thanks
    Michael Trombetta

    No, I tried that before I posted. I am the administrator of my systemS.
    Actually I'm trying to move the files and directories from a permanent directory (HP defined) to a user defined directory. I was able to move 90% of the data with using the context entry "Move to Folder". I was trying to move the remainder, but I keep getting messages from UNIX that I don't have the authority. I'm running Win 7 Pro on an HP 6250. I have tried to change the permissions to no avail, see attached. Should I try an XP system?
    I did check and the files are marked as N (not indexed). I had 3 screen prints but I see no way to include them.

  • I can't delete photo files to make room for iOS 8.

    I can't delete photo files to make room for iOS 8.

    Ive had this and solved it an entirely different way very quickly.
    Connect the ipad to the imac (i assume its an imac);
    Fire up itunes;
    while thats happening create a new folder called EMPTY in your Pictures folder on the imac;
    go back to itunes;
    select the ipad;
    go to photos on the ipad;
    select SYNC FROM SELECTED FOLDER;
    select your EMPTY folder;
    then hit SYNC and the photos / videos in photo albums / the albums will all instantly disappear.
    We had 7.98 Gb of syncd fotos and videos on the ipad and tried all the more lengthy [and unsuccessful] ways suggested elsewhere.
    There was so little space we couldnt u/d the IOS !
    OK, so we werent bothered about keeping the fotos that were on the ipad (they'd all been filed in iphot on the imac so not 'lost').
    Nice to find a solution for yourself when you're a silver surfer in your mid '60's

  • Can I delete the files/folders in 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup'?

    Hi!
    I have just tried to backup and update my iphone to iOS 5.1. The backup seems to have worked but when it came to restoring the iphone, I think the hard disk ran out of space and so it failed. I saw this and so I freed up around 3Gb of disk space and I tried it again. It again failed. Again I noticed that there was no space left on the hard disk. I assumed that to continue the restore it probably won't need that much more space (as it had already done most of the work) so I freed up a few more Gb.
    Again it failed. When it fails, itunes leaves the partially restored elements on my hard disk meaning that my 'Apple Computer' folder is now 28Gb!! I cannot afford to delete anything else from the hard disk. I am using a PC by the way. I have noticed that in the folder 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup' has 5 folders in it which is the same amount that I tried to restore the iphone (before the last restore attempt there were 4 folders). These folders amount to 20Gb. From this I am assuming that the actual backup that I made is infact in 'Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Backups'.
    Can I delete the folders in 'MobileSync\Backup'? This would free up 20Gb of disk space giving me enough to properly restore (in theory!).
    Thanks for your time!!
    Nick

    your advice worked for me and saved me what ever evil lurked behind my thought to just delete the backup and get back my very lmited space on my 250GB Mackbook Pro using daisydisk pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/daisydisk/id411643860?mt=12
    Why DaisyDisk?
    DaisyDisk remains the tool of choice for film makers (including companies like Pixar), digital artists, IT professionals and hundreds of thousands of Mac users worldwide when it comes to disk space management. Constantly improving since its initial introduction, the app easily blows away competition in terms of speed, efficiency and user experience.

    Delete iOS backups this way: iTunes>Preferences>Devices...select the backup/backups...hit delete. Do not mess with your backup folder.

  • How can i delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

    How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

    acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!
