Safe to delete content from the Temp folder under AppData?

Hi everyone,
Is it safe to delete the contents from the Temp folder (C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp) in the SharePoint 2013 web front end servers?
For some reason I see around 30 GB of temp files. Came across
this blog post but in my case ULS logs are still being generated in the D drive. Not sure how those Temp files are being created. Application servers seem to be fine. 
Tried - 
changing the ULS log path from D to C and back to D drive (as per the above blog post... no luck)
tried restarting the SP tracing service
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

  • I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.

    I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.
    Then I tried to download Safari from Firefox but after finish download, what I got was a dmg file, with a pkg icon (an opened box) and it can't be installed. Same with Google Chrome.
    My question is: how can I download Safari? And will it retain bookmarks?

    Reinstall Safari from the Optional Installs.pkg on your Mac install disc that came with your iMac. Or in your case, you use Pacifist to extract the Safari app from the .dmg file.
    To bookmark a webpage:
    Go to the webpage you want to bookmark. If you use tabs, you can open multiple webpages in tabs to bookmark them as a collection.
    Choose Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or Bookmarks > “Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.”
    Type a name for the bookmark or collection in the dialog that appears.
    Specify where you want to keep the bookmark or collection. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to a collection if you have created any.
    Click Add.
    To add a bookmark quickly, click the Add button in the toolbar, or drag the webpage’s icon from the address field to the bookmarks bar.
    To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
    In the future, rather then deleting an app, come here and ask for help first. More times then not, you will save yourself time and trouble.

  • Aperture, why when I delete from an album it deletes it from the project folder

    Aperture, why when I delete from an album it deletes it from the project folder also.
    I thought that it was the other way round, in that the library was not the main entry.
    I have 10 project folders and 6 albums and I want to remove the albums and keep the projects "as is"
    I am unsure as to how I wound up with albums in the Aperture program.
    thanks

    Never used the Trash icon either (and generally don't show the Toolbar).  But at least the Tooltip is correct:
    Now that I think on it, clicking "Trash" _should_ put the item in the Aperture Trash.  The confusion comes from the use of "Delete" -- specifically using a key with that label to execute a command that changes based on not only what kind of item is selected, but where the item is located.  So in this case (let me parenthetically add I have yet to take part in my morning caffeine ritual) "Delete" in the Tooltip does not equal "press and release the 'delete' key", but rather is used as a verb (rightly, imho).
    Not sure what a better design might be, but perhaps at least popping up a window saying, "The selected items are Images in an Album.  Would you like to remove them from the Album, or move them to the Aperture Trash (which will delete them from the Project they are in)?".
    Greg -- I suggest using the context-sensitive menu (a/k/a "right-click") to select the command you want:

  • If all the photos from my iPhone 4s Camera Roll show up in iPhoto under Library- Photos, is it safe to delete them from the iPhone and not risk losing them?

    I am getting messages about being out of space on my phone for taking any more photos. I am scared to delete anything with all the photo stream and syncing that happens cause I don't want the photo to delete in many places at the same time.
    So, 1) when is it safe to delete from the iPhone? 2) I feel like I have multiple copies of photos stored between the phone, Photos Library in iPhoto and all my albums in iPhoto. Is there a best practice document on how to manage your photos for space savings? 
    I've looked, but can't find my answer clearly in the forums.

    IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
    If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • In iPhoto '11, is it safe to delete aliases in the masters folder?

    I'm running the latest update of iPhoto '11.
    I'm trying to do some house cleaning and I'm discovering many duplicates of photos because I used to have iphoto copy pictures into the library.
    So, I'm getting rid of duplicates, and I keep coming across these folders which have aliases to the original picture (not in the library).
    I've noticed that some of these aliases are pointing to pictures that are no longer there (i.e. I deleted them a long time ago).  So I was wondering if it's safe to delete the aliases.
    I've noticed that any photos added in '11 dont actually have aliases.  Only the photos added in prior versions.
    On a similar note, if it's not safe to delete the aliases, then if I did delete them, would they be recreated somehow? (like, if i rebuild the library database by pressing "command" and "option" on iphoto launch....or something).
    Just curious so I can continue my house cleaning.
    Thanks in advance.

    It's impossible to say whether it's safe to delete those aliases or not. What you're doing is simply not supported.
    There are two possible uses for aliases in an 11 Library. One is linking up the old Library to the new structure. The other is to track referenced files. So, good luck with that.
    I'm sure you've thought this decision through but for the benefit of others who may be thinking of this:
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    This is an attractive option for some users at face value, but it contains a significant number of issues that you might want to consider before making the decision to run a Referenced Library
    How to do it:
    iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck the box at 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library'
    Now when you import iPhoto makes an alias in the Library Package that points to the stored file. Note: iPhoto still creates a thumbnail of the image and it makes a Preview of edited photos inside the Library Package.
    Issues?
    1. You are responsible for file management. That's more work:
    You must first move the files from your camera to the storage location before importing.
    If you want to delete files then you must first trash them from iPhoto and then afterwards find them in your storage and trash them.
    Thereafter, you cannot move the files on early versions of iPhoto at all, on iPhoto 08 and later you may move them on the same Volume or Disk. If you move them to a new volume or disk the aliases my break. If they are on an different volume and you move them the aliases will break.
    You cannot rename the files.
    Migrating: moving to a new machine, moving the files to another disk are all a lot more complex.
    2. You gain no extra functionality from running a Referenced Library. Nothing. This is just storage. You still manage the files via iPhoto. You edit them with iPhoto or via iPhoto's External Editor setting, otherwise you're changes will not be available in iPhoto. You don't save  byte of storage space.
    3.  If you have the Library on one volume and the photos on another you if anything changes in the path to a file (Like if you upgrade your machine, move the files on the NAS or on to another one?) then the alias will break, and you'll have to repair it manually. For every photo in the Library. One at a time.
    Why do you want to run a Referenced Library?
    Because my photos won't fit on my HD?
    You can run a Managed library from an external disk. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    You're worried about accessing the files?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Cannot delete messages from the Drafts folder in Mail.

    I am running Mail 2.1.3. For some reason I am no longer able to delete draft messages from my Drafts folder. It is by no means a serious problem, just annoying! Can anyone figure this out? Thanks.

    Hi Dubaiman, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I'm having trouble finding exactly where that is stored, but maybe move these to the Desktop in case we want to put them back, quit Mail first...

  • I thought I deleted downloaded BlackBerry software, but it remained even after I did a system restore. I manually deleted it from the Apps folder, but it's still in System Profiler under Apps. How do I delete this from System Profiler?

    Right now, it seems as if it is still showing in System Profiler, then the unnecessary BlackBerry software I downloaded from the internet is still using memory, right? How do I permanently delete it?

    In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
    Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
    ._Files
    Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
    When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
    The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
    You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
    You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

  • How do I delete content from the Cloud?

    I have a huge amount of data on the Cloud.  I want to delete it.  How?  Can I just uninstall / disconnect the cloud?  Is there a method to delete from the Cloud?

    Easiest way and a huge PIA: I downloaded the Cloud app to the desktop of my PC, then changed the backup schema to NOT back anything up.  Opened the Cloud and started deleting.
    Now to Uninstall from the PC.

  • My company blocks executables from running in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without it trying to run download.exe from a temp folder?

    I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
    I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
    Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Full installers can always be downloaded here:

    I am assuming you went to this page:

  • No songs show up in Owner's iPod when i remove them from the Music folder..

    every time i transfer music to my Shuffle, and then remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they won't show up in Owner's iPod whenever i connect my Shuffle to my PC. if i don't remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they will show up in Owner's iPod every time i connect my Shuffle. i don't get it. the capacity is right, and i know there are songs on the Shuffle, but there's no way to maintain the playlist of songs (for example, remove a few songs and keep the others) because none of them show up in Owner's Ipod...
    i also had another problem, that i was able to fix, with my wireless keyboard and mouse. whenever i removed the Shuffle from the USB connector, the lights on my keyboard and mouse remote would go out, and my keyboard and mouse would disconnect. also, the screen would turn gray, and i would have to hold the power butten down on the PC to get it to shut down. i changed the USB port i was using for the Shuffle, and that seemed to fix it, but i think that it's wierd that i moved my iPod Mini to that USB port and it doesn't do that when i remove it. anyway, i changed USB ports, and it works fine now, but i don't think it's a problem on my end because my iPod Mini works fine in that port. i think it's a software bug with the Shuffle...

  • Can you delete the contents of the Updates folder?

    Hi,
    Trying to free up some space on my hard drive. Using OmniDiskDweeper app. Just wondering if it's safe to delete the contents of the Updates folder; the one located in the hard drive/library. There is about 5 GB of stuff in there.
    thanks,
    J

    Jaymo, I deleted the contents of my "Updates" folder on my MBPro2.2 without any ill-effects.

  • HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content  from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything.  Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too.  When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account.  Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
    To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
    For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
    For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
    For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
    If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

  • Can the contents of the Downloads folder be deleted?

    Can the contents of the Downloads folder be deleted in order to regain storage space?

    Hi KMess1948
    The Downloads folder is just a convenient place to put stuff that you downloaded from various sources. It's contents can be deleted at will. You could of course create an archive on a separate harddisk or memory stick to keep for instance study material, or stuff that you would use more frequently. The rest of the stuff could be trashed at will.
    I keep three achives, OS X and Combo Updates including and since SL, Documents, & important downloaded documents besides the normal backup stuff.
    Download folder gets emptied regularly.
    Have fun

  • HT203200 Cannot delete the file from the itunes folder

    I cannont delete the file from the itunes folder because it tells me I need permission to do so.  I am the admin person for the laptop plus I have checked my permissions under the security tab in the files properties.  How do I delete this file to start again?  It downloaded 1.2GB of the file before the error message appeared, so its paid for and all but not looking like I'll get to watch it before the time runs out on the movie being available for me to watch. :-(

    Try deleting the file without iTunes running.
    When you next open iTunes it should then be marked as a missing file and you should be able to delete the entry from iTunes.
    Hope this works
    Regards,
    Colin R.
