Help! Failed to delete File

Hello,
I can't delete the file temp.mdb
Is it because its a .mdb file? How do I delete it?
I tried the following code:
File local = new File("temp.mdb");
System.out.println(local.delete());The result I get is false and the file is still there!
Please help me!

You're holding a strong reference to the file, so the
system cannot delete it.
Try:
code]
System.out.println(new File("temp.mdb").delete());
Not convinced that's true, but I'm on a *nix box so the rules are different anyway. Have you got a working test case that proves keeping references to File objects keeps the actual file-on-disk alive?

Failed to delete file after processing FTP

Failed to delete file after processing. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.ai i.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Unexpected reply code *.txt: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
I got this error many times for the same interface. Not sure what is the reason for this.
Searched on internet go comments that this is because of FTP version!
Please help

It is the "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check" in the Sender Adapter that ensures this. It works like this: PI starts processing, finds a file, then waits the number of miliseconds specified and checks the file again to see if it has changed over the waiting period. If so, then it waits again to make sure the file is written completely. Only if no changes took place over the waiting period, it starts processing the file.
And the fact that your file was successfully processed at retry only confirms that it might have been still written to by the sender system. You can try comparing file's creation timestamp (in OS level) with its processing start time in PI - this could prove me right.

Little help please regarding deleting files and folders...

My wife has a MBP and has accumulated some old items in her documents folder that she'd like to delete. She has a USB mouse but the "right click" doesn't appear to work. She's running 10.4.11 and can't reveal the files in icon mode to facilitate dragging to trash. Certainly there is a sequence of keystroke commands that will allow these files to be effectively trashed, but our "control/delete", or "apple/delete", or "option/delete" doesn't do the trick after highlighting the subject file. Help please! TIA!

To delete a file or folder, high light it then using the keyboard type Command Delete and that will delete it. If you have multiple files and/or folders the same keyboard commands apply.

Roger

Update *always* fails. Deleting files, run as admin don't work

I can *never* get the update to work. I always get the message: "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I have the same issue with Thunderbird. I'm running on Win 7 64 bit. My normal login account has admin privileges.
I have tried all the work arounds listed (eg deleting update folder, etc). Nothing works and I always have to download and do a full install.
It's very, very frustrating.

It is a problem with the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\), so no need to check the profile folder.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Help needed about deleting files.

Anyone could tell me what Java sentence can I use to delete a file from a UNIX filesystem. What class does provide this method?

Hi,
The File class has got method to delete a file from file system.
File objFile = new File("<the complete path of the file>");
if(objFile.exists()) { objFile.delete(); }
Only extra thing with unix will be permission to delete
the file. If the user who is logged into the system with
permission to delete the file then only the java
program which is run under that user id will be able
to delete the file. Otherwise change the mode of that
directory to '777'.
chmod 777 /home/temp

Help needed with deleted files

Hi all
Still a novice, though have been using Aperture successfully for a few weeks now...
I have somehow (and I am still trying to go back and work out how) managed to delete a whole named project with all the photos in it.
I went from one project to another, in order to continue editing, but when I used the control back arrow and delete button to delete 1 photo that was highlighted, it deleted all the photos and the project (or so it seems).
Where can it be, is it lost for ever, and if it isn't how can I retrieve it?
Thanks
Ruth

Any other ideas? Still can't find them.....reading the manual to see if that gives me any more clues too!
Despairing now!!
Please help!

Robohelp Deleting files during generation

Hi everyone,
I am hoping that you can help me. *crosses everything*
I have created a help system that has two outputs, one for
each platform of the web application we provide to our clients.
During my last update, I noticed that the help system is deleting
several files that existed in previous generations for one of the
outputs. As a result, even though RoboHelp is providing a message
that says the generation was successful, when I click View Results,
I can't pull up the help. One of the files it is deleting the the
first topic for the particular version that I am generating. In
addition, it is deleting every wh*.* file in the main folder along
with most of the wh*.* files in the sub wh* folders.
I haven't dared regenerate the other version in fear that it
will do the same thing to it. I haven't changed anything in the
last update other than text within the files. The only thing I can
think of that I have changed significantly in the previous update
was re-applying the template to all of the pages.
I'm on the edge of a release and need help desperately! Any
help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
FYI: I am using RoboHelp X5.0.2
TIA,
Connie LaGoy

Hi Connie and welcome to the RH community. You say the "help
system is deleting" files. I've never known RH to do this so I
don't think this is the problem. I'm wondering if there is a third
party at fault here (e.g. virus software)? Have you tried creating
the output to a different location (e.g. your C: drive) and see if
you get the same results?

Unable to delete the file. (Some times deletes and sometime fails to delet)

Please help me in deleting the file from the temporary location .
Below is my code
//Append the session is with filename as there is possibility of having same name of file.
try{
boolean isMultipart     = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
          if (isMultipart)
               // Create a factory for disk-based file items
               factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
                        // Create a new file upload handler
               upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
               // Parse the request
                  List /* FileItem */ items = upload.parseRequest(request);
                       // Process the uploaded items
               Iterator iter = items.iterator();
if(strInputFileName.lastIndexOf("\\")== -1)
     strInputFileName = (String)mPropBag.get("TempUploadDirM") + strInputFileName;
}else
     strInputFileName = (String)mPropBag.get("TempUploadDir") +   strInputFileName.substring(strInputFileName.lastIndexOf("\\"));
strInputFileName = strInputFileName + "_" + request.getSession().getId();
uploadedFile     = new File(strInputFileName);
item.write(uploadedFile); //// I am Writing the file in this location appened with the session Id because there might //be a possibility of having same name of file.
catch(......)
finally
     uploadedFile.delete();
     uploadedFile = null;
     upload = null;
}I am unable to delete the file from the temporary location
some times it is deleting and some times it is not deleting.. I have also tried ...deleteOnExit();

Make sure you've got no other processes holding onto it (Windows Explorer, for instance) and that you've closed any streams involved with the file. If that fails, try calling System.gc() just before deleting the file. This is a workaround for a bug in certain JVMs on Windows machines

HT1751 Consolidating ITunes Library Failed - message received: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long" . Please help - how to i fix this issue?

I consulted your website for details on how to back up my ITunes Library on my PC-found the article very helpful-I reached step 7 - clicked ok and the following message came up: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." Please can you help and advise what I should do or how to fix this issue. My pc operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic

You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
I also have two scripts that could help you, Unconsolidated and ConsolidateByMoving. The first can make a playlist of all unconsolidated tracks, the second can consolidate a selection of tracks by moving them instead of copying.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

Help - deleted files won't go away!

I am trying to permamently delete two files that I no longer need, but which had previously been deployed. Whenever I deploy my application, these files cause me to get the error "The asset is deployed and cannot be deleted. To delete the asset, first undeploy it." Okay, but it won't let me undeploy a single file, so I undeployed the entire application. Afterwards, I still wasn't able to delete the files.
Just wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to permanently get rid of these files?
Thanks!

Follow these steps to delete files from local machine.
1. Close Workbench ES2 (if already opened)
2. Goto C:\Users\<YOUR_USER_NAME>\Workbench ES2\<APP_SERVER_NAME>\<APPLCIATION_NAME>\<VERSION>
3. Delete the files which you no more required.
4.Open Workbench ES2 and click refresh on seletec application.
You will get rid of the "Cannot delete" problem.
