Deleting *certain* items from Library/Receipts?

I know a lot of people say never to delete anything from the folder Library/Receipts, but how about:
printer brands you don't own/use
applications you've deleted
also:
I have about ten receipts for NeoOffice updates--would it be ok to delete all but the last?
and
a system package for 10.3.9--i know normally not to touch apple system stuff but if you've been using tiger from day one practically and plan to upgrade to leopard soon is it ok to throw out a panther-related receipt?
tia
P.S. i know i need to delete other things (movies basically) because i'm down to a couple gigs of free space on my HD

I may then--in part just to see in fact how much has been going on under my nose so to speak.
Btw it was my bad in saying the printer .pkg files were over 100MB--I was also throwing stuff out of my Printers folder. .pkg files seem to always be around 300K.
FYI I asked about deleting the Neooffice update receipts at the NeoOffice forum and I already got a response from their board administrator--they said they don't use them so it's ok to throw out even the most recent one.
Also how about QuickTime receipts? (again, except for the most recent one). I've got at least six or seven of those. If you're not sure I would err on the side of keeping them, just because they're Apple system software.

  • How can I delete an item from the main left column of iTunes?

    I'd like to delete an item from the main left hand column in iTunes (the column containing the main headings LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, PLAYLISTS etc etc). Under the first heading 'LIBRARY' appear the items Library, Music, Movies, iTunes U, Books, Apps and Ringtones. I'd like to remove the item "Library" from that list - it appears immediately after the heading "LIBRARY" and serves no purpose whatsoever. (Neither does it appear to cause any harm, I must say, just a nuisance.) This item does not appear in any of the iTunes viewing options or controls lists. Neither does it appear in iTunes in the other accounts on my Mac and I have yet to see it any other iTunes on any other Mac.
    I've upgraded since about iTunes 8 assuming the problem would eventually disappear through the upgrades but it hasn’t, even through all the providedupgrade increments available for iTunes.
    I'm assuming it's from something I've installed in my main user account at some stage and it entered this item in the iTunes app. But I can't see how to remove it. The only things I can remember installing are "iTunes Batch Column Renamer" and "Join Together", both if which are just Scripts and which I use fairly regularly, but I don't recall either of them installing that particular item.
    Is there any folder I can navigate to to edit the list of items in that main left hand column of iTunes?
    Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

    on second thought, that you have an item "library" is indeed odd - there shouldn't be.
    suggest you try removing iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.
    btw, you didn't install any 3rd party tools like this script:
    Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4 
    This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
    Show "Library" playlist
    Changing view setting is global
    Allow half-stars in ratings
    Hide "Ping" buttons
    Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
    Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
    Create playlists for purchased song collections
    Play songs while importing or converting
    Create file names with track number
    Maintain grid view for Search results
    Option-click zoom button for Mini Player&
    Show buttons horizontally

  • Automatic deletion of Items from Customs Declaration

    Hello Experts,
    I will be thankful to anyone could help me with this one : We need to automatically delete line items from declaration based on certain criteria before the first outbound message is sent. For example : The process should be : 4 items in invoice, but only 2 in the declaration (duty unpaid goods). It cannot filter the data in the Feeder system. I was hoping data proposal BADI could be the solution however It does not seem to work...
    Your comments are appreciated,
    Branislav Petricek

    Dear Branko,
    if you want to delete the items before creating the idoc while processing the message, you can use the Badi /SAPSLL/CUS_ECC. There you can modify the data that are sent to customs.
    The items will still be physically available in the document itself but only the ones you do not filter will be sent.
    best regards,
    Christin

  • Can I sync certain itmes from one itunes account and certain items from another itunes account on the same ipad?

    I was wondering if an individual would be able to sync certain items from one itunes account and and items from a different itunes account to the same ipad?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • Delete certain files from backup

    Is it possible to:
    1) backup my iPhone (locally with my iTunes on Win7), I CAN DO THIS, of course
    2) delete only certain files from the backup (there are many tools for exploring backup, but I have not found anyone which can also delete certain file, only view and export), I CAN LOCATE THE BACKUP DIRECTORY and see the files, but is it possible to locate those that I'd like to delete and simply erase them?
    3) restore my iPhone with such an altered backup?
    Thank you
    Kamil
    PS: I need to delete certain files from var directory, but I do not have root access, so this seems to be the only solution (I do not want to jailbreak and also I do not want to start from zero, I mean to make factory reset and then to set up everything again)

    Maybe you should try to install it and try it yourself.
    You can edit sql databases (delete some records e.g. from call history), but you cannot delete files in the folders (.jpegs, .plist etc.).
    I tried to export only files, that I wanted to recover, then I have made factory reset of my iPhone, made new local backup of the empty reseted device. Then I tried to import to this empty backup those exported files, but it is also not supported. Only files which already exist in the current backup can be imported. It means that you cannot remove or add file into the backup, you can only modify it - with this tool certainly.
    Let us try it with another question: is it possible to make selective restore (to restore only certain settings, call history, SMS's, files...,) but not the whole backup?
    Thank you for your effort.

  • How do I permanently delete an item from the bookmarks bar?

    When I right click and delete a bookmark in the bar, it disappears but comes back after I have shut down my computer and later boot up again.  How do I get rid of it permanently? 

    If by chance you have v10.7 Lion installed not v10.6.8 as your profile suggests, deselect Safari in System Preferences > iCloud then try deleting an item from the Bookmark bar.

  • Deleting a contact list item through Powershell in sharepoint 2010 synced with outlook 2010, does not delete the item from outlook.

    hi All,
    I have a requirement for updating the contact list from CSV file and updating/ adding and  deleting the changes in the SharePoint list using PowerShell script. List is also synced with outlook.
    The problem arises, when we delete an item from the list using PS, the item (which was earlier synced with outlook) is not getting deleted from outlook.
    Strange behavior : when we perform the same deletion operation manually from the SharePoint UI, every thing works fine as required.
    Please refer the below PS
    #Adding the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
    if($flag -ne 1)
    Get-Member -InputObject $csvRow -MemberType NoteProperty | ForEach-Object {
    $property = $_.Name
    $newItem.set_Item($property, $csvRow.$property)
    $newItem.Update()
    #Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
    CreatePSLog "Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file"
    foreach($itm in $List.items)
    $del = 0
    $items | ForEach-Object {
    if($itm["SAP Ansprechpartnernr"] -eq $_."SAP Ansprechpartnernr")
    $del++;
    if(!$del)
    $List.GetItemById($itm.Id).Delete()
    $List.Update();
    $Web.Update();
    many thanks in advance, Please suggest as I am completly stuck on this :(
    Regards, Arun kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
    You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
    Thanks
