Unable to delete images in Bridge

I am running windows 7 64 bit and CS5. I seem to have a problem in that I can't delete images from Bridge. I open up the folder and when I try to delete the image it asks "do you want to delete this image" I click yes and it jumps to the next image without deleting the original image.
I had this problem once before and read on here about "permissions" at that time I rectified the problem. Not this time though.
I have been into my computer, unchecked the read only boxes, checked in the security tab that all users have full permissions and still no joy! Can anyone suggest what else I can do? I did read also on here in a past post about "running as administator" not sure what this is and how to find it.
Your help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

If you are running an external dirve one can see more permission problems. In that case shut Bridge then right click on icon and choose "run as administrator".
Hope this helps.

Deleting images from bridge

I used to be able to right click on an image in bridge and delete it. That option seems to be gone. Has it moved? Am I missing it somehow?

In Mini Bridge, that option is not available, but in the full Bridge, it's still an option. Mini Bridge is mainly a tool to open/import your photos into Photoshop. Any file handling should be done in Bridge.

Unable to Delete Files From Bridge CS4

I am trying to delete file from bridge and all the sudden I am getting the message that I dont have permisson to delete file. I have done several troubleshooting methods and nothing works. Deleted prefs, cache, checked file permisions, repaired HD permissions, reset workspace, turned off startup scripts, etc..... Anyone had this problem or have any idea what may be causing this?
Thanks,
Colby

Ok I can delete via bridge using a different user account. So its bridge/user
account but not sure what the solution is. Would it be best to remove/install
a new copy of bridge?
I don't think reinstall Bridge is the solution. You might first want to try
this:
Quit Bridge, from user library preference folder delete the Adobe bridge
plist file manual to the trash.
Then restart Bridge again with holding down option key and from menu choose
refresh preferences.
Try again, if no luck then consider a better user check then only disk
permissions.
You can start with the original install disk from MacOs. Restart from this
disk and start with a check and repair disk and check and repair disk
permissions.
You also might consider an other disk utility like Disk Warrior or Disk
Tools Pro but they are not for free.
If not the solution you might consider to migrate your user to a new
account.

Unable to Open Images in Bridge CS3 and Continuing Icon issues!

Re: Icon issues in Bridge CS3 and also with Photo Downloader that have never been there before.
So, these are the issues. Just one of the folders that previously would show thumbnails now only shows DNG icons, and none will open in Photoshop to let me work on previous image. Issue #2 - can't download images with Photo Downloaders - both my wife's Canon G9 only shows CR2 icons, and my Nikon D300 only shows NEF icons - neither of these issues had appeared before or been an issue. Third issue. None of my Bridge folders - even those with regular thumbnail immages- will open now - get a message that says words to the effect of Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file. Computer is a Mac, with OS 10.5.8
I recently tried to make more room on HD, so must have taken some critical files/commands out by accident.
Thanks for your time and previous suggestions - still not working. I'm sure that in trying to correct things have made things even worse- as may be noticed by the two snapshots I've attached. The first is one from a library from my user section. The second library image is from my hard drive. Hopefully you and others aren't laughing or crying too much over what you see - redundantcy, etc! All of my energies have focused on taking photos, obviously none to proper setup/use of organizing things on my Mac. But after the laughing has stopped, any help will be tremendously appreciated - am most anxious to getting back to working with and saving images.

Thanks in advance

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

Unable to delete pictures in Bridge CS3

Just started having this problem. When I go to delete or drag a photo to the trash, I get this message "The Camera Raw settings could not be applied because there were no Camera Raw files selected". Also, other pics will not be deleted, but I don't get this message. Please help! Thanks.

You've found your way into the wrong forum. You want the Bridge forum a couple doors down to the right.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Noel,
Thanks so much for replying.
Under Bridge>pref>file type assoc. are listed three items:    Internet Explorer 9.00
                                                                                                       Com surrogate 6.1

"Brouse" goes right to the "MY documents" folder, in which are listed many folders but not Photoshop.
I think I see light at the end of the tunnel. Can you help me find Photoshop?
Jane (hopeful now)

When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct the situation. I have tried this and still get this message. when I delete image

When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cash. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct this problem. I did this and still get this same message.Also now when deleting images they don't delete till I close and reopen Bridge. What can i do to fix this problem?

Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
Reset Preferences
Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
Reset Standard Workspaces
Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.

Unable to delete a disk image and reclaim hard drive space.

I created a disk image on which to store some stuff, and I now want to get rid of the disk image (which is 115 gigs of storage) and reclaim the hard drive space. I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.3. I have been unable to delete it through disk utility. I can only unmount it or mount it, but the storage space remains with it. I can't get rid of it through the downloads folder either, but if I find it in "volumes" via spotlight, and try to put it in the trash, it tells me "ENN.dmg cannot be thrown away because it can't be deleted." I tried using root user to delete the item and it told me I could not because it belongs to another person. My permissions are "read and write." I've searched all sorts of forums. Can anyone help? Thanks!

What error are you getting? Are you dragging and dropping on the trash can or right clicking and selecting "Move to Trash"?
Right click on the image file and select get info. What are the permissions set to.
Can you move or copy it to another folder or a external drive and if you can copy it can you delete the copy?

Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?

Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?
Bridge 5.0.2.4.

There is an ignore EXIF setting Preferences. I can't remember if that is Bridge or Photoshop, but IIRC it is for DNG files.
Right. Check Photosho > Preferences > File handling and make sure 'Ignore EXIF tag, is not checked. I think that might do it, so long as it refers to sidecare files, because only RAW files would have one.

Bridge CS3 Unable to delete

I am unable to delete any thumbnails. Ctrl-delete doesn't work. Delete doesn't work. Do I uninstall and reinstall?

Thanks Kurt. Tried your solution twice and the problem persists. Which preferences - Photoshop or Bridge? Do I have to undo and reset each preference?

Bridge CS6 won't delete images.

Having a problem where Adobe CS6 Image Downloader isn't deleting images from the card. Once the download is complete the tool just shuts off, no verification, no asking for delete verification. I've tried mulitple cards and readers same results.
Help

usually when a file can not be deleted, it has to do with the file being used elsewhere, kind of a lock. This could happen if the same program that viewed the picture, then tries to delete, because that same program failed to unlock the file when it was done viewing it.
If all pictures are transfered to your computer and you don't want any images on the card anymore the best and the quickest way is to put the card back in the camera and select format card from its menu. Once you used the format a few times, its usually fairly fast to find it. But all camera are not the same, so I can't speak for all of them, if you know what I mean.

Image in trash is "locked" and unable to delete...help?!

Hi all.
Relatively new to the Mac world. My wife shut down our iMac 17"C2D the other day and when restarted, a couple of photos showed up in the trash inside a folder called "restore" with a new name. Those same photos are still in iphoto (with their original name), but when I empty the trash a warning comes up that says "unable to delete these files, files are locked".
Anyone know what that is and how I can delete them?
Thanx much
iMAC 17" Core 2 duo/2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Click on the file, Get Info (from the File menu or Command-I) and look a bit down in the General category for the "Locked" item. If the box is checked, just uncheck it.
If you have a bunch of files that all say that they're locked, or the Locked checkbox isn't checked, give Trash It! (freeware) a try.
Hope this helps.

Viewing images using Bridge.

I am unable to view images directly from CF card using Bridge. The camera files simply show as graphic icons. I have not had this problem before. Is there a setting I need to adjust ?

You probably have not the correct ACR version to match your Raw files from your digital camera, check this out:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
And in general is it not the best idea to view the files directly from the card in Bridge, it is preferred to use Adobe Photo downloader or drag and drop the files from card to computer and then view the files.
Changes are when you view them directly from card you start deleting or rating etc and writing / deleting to and from a CF card other then using the In-Camera software can lead to very unwanted behavior or failure.

Placing images from Bridge CC breaks Indesign Doc

This seems to be intermittent but it's occuring only when I place images from Bridge to an InDesign document.
I've experienced this bug before with InDesign but now it seems to happen more often when I drag an image from Bridge to an InDesign doc.
After doing this I'm unable to Save the document or undo/redo anything. I know others have experienced this same bug. The only way I was able to fix the document was to close InDesign (and lose any unsaved changes) and then reopen the document. Then I create a new document and move all of the pages of my document to the new doc and resave it. This seems to stop the problem from happening.
This is a serious bug: a) It's hard to pin down what causes it but it seems to be permission related to the document b) there is NO way to recover your unsaved changes, you can't copy your objects to a new document and save it as once the program breaks you can't save ANYTHING.
Has anyone had success permanantly fixing this? Or run into it at all?

Windows or MacOS?
Because in Windows you can circumvent this by using the Explorer. I used to drag 'n drop images (ID CS6) and other files all the time - nothing like your problem so far.
