Automatically Delete Troubled Files

You know those stupid files that have those stupid exclamation marks next to them is there a way to simply delete those without having to click multiple times on the song and manually do it?

Id recommend using Otto42's windows script for dead/broken links (In other words songs with ! marks) Heres the link

Automatic Deletion of Files in FRA

Ok, I am about fired up right now. I have read over and over how Oracle will reclaim space in the FRA if it is running low yet I can't reproduce this behavior to save my life.
- I have archive logging enabled.
- I am using the FRA.
- I have a recovery window of 1 day set.
- I have full incremental (level 0) backups for the past three days.
- I am also backing up archivelogs and have "all not backed up" specified as well.
"report obsolete" does indeed report the backups that fall outside of my recovery window correctly. When I run another backup I receive the following:
ORA-19809: limit exceeded for recovery files
ORA-19804: cannot reclaim 9163505664 bytes disk space from 16106127360 limit
All I have at this moment is a strong desire to repeat the word "derp" over and over. Can someone explain what I am missing (or perhaps misconstruing) or point me at some docs that clearly spell this out for me?
Or is it simply that what is being stated implies that I run the following to cause Oracle to "automatically delete files" to create space for new FRA additions:
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
release channel;
Cheers!

Alrighty then... I think this paints the appropriate picture:
select file_type, space_used*percent_space_used/100/1024/1024 used, space_reclaimable*percent_space_reclaimable/10 /1024/1024 reclaimable, frau.number_of_files from v$recovery_file_dest rfd, v$flash_recovery_area_usage frau;
FILE_TYPE                  USED RECLAIMABLE NUMBER_OF_FILES
CONTROL FILE                  0           0               0
REDO LOG                      0           0               0
ARCHIVED LOG          8277.5077           0              36
BACKUP PIECE           3864.931    2938.875              13
IMAGE COPY                    0           0               0
FLASHBACK LOG                 0           0               0
FOREIGN ARCHIVED LOG          0           0               0
7 rows selected.So it appears that I cannot create new backups due to the Archived Logs being ineligible for space reclamation and NOT the backupsets.
Edit: I shall now work on recreating my test scenario (appropriately).

ITunes automatically deleted Podcast file location?

Hello,
I recently had an interesting situation that I can't seem to solve so I thought I'd turn to the community for help. I currently subscribe to a particuar podcast and have the iTunes settings configured to ONLY keep the two most recent episodes before iTunes automatically deletes older episodes. Everything was going smoothly until this week when I realized that I actually wanted to keep an episode that was automatically downloaded (the episode that was deleted was deleted today and I started serching for it today).
The simple answer would be for me to just re-download the episode that iTunes automatically deleted...but that is not possible. Unfortunately, the episode that I was saving is no longer available so I can't re-download it (yes, an episode from three weeks ago is no long available to download because the podcaster changed the episode and re-uploaded a new shorter episode in it's place). After checking the trash, I noticed the file wasn't there so I turned to a file recovery program (Disk Drill). After running the utility, I was able to locate all of the podcasts that I had manually deleted, but the podcast episodes that iTunes automatically removed (due to the settings I put in place) are not included in the list of files.
I'm assuming that iTunes must delete the files in some other method, but if that's the case, the files have to go somewhere, right? Any ideas on where these files may be located...or any thoughts on how to recover the podcast episode?
Thanks to anyone for any assistance or thoughts.
T.J.

Thanks, Jeremy292. I was looking for a word and didn't notice the icon.

Automatically deleting qtch files?

Hello,
A times goes by, QuickTime cache files (.qtch) are accumulated in my profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\downloads) and they can reach several hundreds of MB.
Since I backup my profile from time to time and I don’t wish back this files, I searched for a way to automatically delete them from the QT GUI, but found nothing, so I had to delete them manually.
Have I missed a better way to do it?
Will apple add such a feature, like "delete cached QT files when exiting QT player"?

Thank you Gentelmens (I think... ), the "advanced" tab has a button to clear all the cache files and folders.
Which is nice to have, but please, is someone from Apple reads this - please add a checkbox to empty the cache as QT unloads (either from a full gui or from within a browser) - it will make our OS cleaner. Thanks.
Keep on Geeking everyone!

old Windows XP Pro you really don't wanna hear the dirty details.

My 2 TB Time Capsule's memory is full because it will not automatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zero backup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and saves the new?

My 2 TB Time Capsule’s memory is full because it will notautomatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zerobackup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and savesthe new?
Neither my local computer consultant nor I have been ableto change any of the settings in Time Machine to correct this problem. Working with the choices in the TimeMachine, there does not appear that there is any way to change the frequency ofthe backups either, so, after a year has elapsed, the time capsule is full, andmy only choice appears to be to erase all the current data on the Time Capsuleand start over, something that I do not want to at all let alone repeat on anannual basis. My questions are:
What can be done to have my Time Capsule delete old filesas it is supposed to do, so it has memory available to allow my computers toback up?
Is this a software problem that can be fixed online or isdoes this require a mechanical fix of defective hardware?

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).

N79 automatically deletes my files

As the title says, my nokia N79 kees deleting my files. The files are mainly pictures or videos I have captured. I am very sure I don't do delete them. It does it on its own and it is either photos or videos, but not both at the same time. I am soooo mad, because I have lost sooo many files!!
I suspect it has something to do with connecting it on the pc, because when I press the safly remove option on my pc the phone still displays the "connected" icon, so maybe the files are damaged when I remove the cable, as thesynchronization icon "a blue windows-vista-like circle" over the folders is still there.
Any solution????

Hi brianthedog. I don't have a solution for you but I want to share that I experienced the same problem with my 5800...Lost about 5 videos of my wonderful kids singing and dancing. (I wouldn't mind if it were the freebie videos that got deleted.) The videos had been in my phone for a couple of weeks and then they were gone. I just could not believe that they were all gone! I am also sure I did not delete those videos. I hope Nokia takes notice soon as this is really a deal breaker for me.

How to - delete physical files that have been removed from library

Hello,
I have recently purged my iTunes library from unwanted music tracks. However, most of those tracks were located in various folders on my harddisk, thus not managed by iTunes (not being on the "My Music\Itunes" folder).
I would now like to somehow delete those files that are still on my harddisk. I've searched if there's a script around, but with no luck. What I'd like to do is to have a script that parses my library xml file, and that compares it with the files still present on the harddisk but not listed in iTunes, so that it either generates a list of files to delete, or automatically deletes those files.
Once this will be done, I plan to move all my remaining music to a new HDD, but before doing that I will need to clean the mess.
Thanks in advance for your hints!
Max
P.S. : I thought of making a new iTunes lib, to import all, and then to somehow run a diff program to remove duplicate items. Does that makes sense ?

Don't know of any script to do this.
If the songs are not in iTunes (you deleted them) and they are not in the iTunes music folder, you will need to search & delete them yourself.
You could do a Windows search the HD for all music and sort by location (In Folder), then delete everything not in the iTunes music folder.
Or move everything not in the iTunes folder to a folder on the desktop, then sort it out from there.

Delete Record Automatically deleting

I have been trying to see if anyone has had this same issue with no real luck. I was hoping someone could give me a quick hand. I am created a delete record page as you would usually do. It is supposed to populate like any other page first so that yiou see the user's information. You should then be able to hit the delete button to delete the actual record. Unfortunately as soon as you go to the page it automatically deletes the record not giving you a chance to review the file first.
Here is the standard delete record code from Dreamweaver:
if ((isset($_GET['ID'])) && ($_GET['ID'] != "")) {
$deleteSQL = sprintf("DELETE FROM entry WHERE ID=%s",
 GetSQLValueString($_GET['ID'], "int"));
mysql_select_db($database_toyosupport, $toyosupport);
$Result1 = mysql_query($deleteSQL, $toyosupport) or die(mysql_error());
$deleteGoTo = "/support/EnterDealer/Admin_Edit_dealer.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
 $deleteGoTo .= (strpos($deleteGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
 $deleteGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $deleteGoTo));
My form is pretty basic:
<form action="/support/EnterDealer/Admin_Edit_dealer.php" method="post" name="delete_User" id="delete_User">
Form is set to post so i can;t see any reason it should automatically delete the file.
Any ideas?

OK so thi sis not the "RIGHT" answer as I still don't know why it is automatically deleting. But with that in mind all I did was create a "View" page stating "ARE YOU SURE YOU WOULD LIKE TO DLETE THIS USER?" After that they are then sent to the delete record page which then deletes the record. If anyone wants to take a stab at it here is the complete code for the "delete" page. There may be something i am just not seeing ...
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php require_once('../../Connections/toyosupport.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {

Automatic deletion of old archive files and trace files

I've got a database that must run 24x7 without being monitored by a DBA.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete and uncatalog old archive files?
2. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete old trace files located in udump and bdump?
Thanks in advance

1. When you say 'uncatalog old archives do you mean that your database is backed up using RMAN and a catalog? If this is the case then RMAN can delete the backed up archives for you. Just add 'delete input' to the end of the 'backup archive log...' line in your backup script.
2. Oracle can't delete the trace files. Best way is to write a script that delete all files older than X days and schedule it to run every night.

.lck files not automatically deleting

We save all of our .fm book and chapter files to a central server, and recently we've noticed that when we close a file the .lck file does not automatically delete. Thus, we are having to manually delete this before updating books, opening files, etc. We're using FM8 on PC's with Win 7 x64. We have FM set to run in XP x32 compatability mode, which is working pretty well for us aside from the aformentioned issue.
Has anybody else run into this? Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks! Scott

Do the lock files actually still exist?
If you're discovering them because FM is complaining on open, then yes they effectively still exist (although possibly only in server FS cache).
But if you're merely seeing them in a file browser, they may or may not be there. Doing a refresh may or may not clear up matters,
Browser currency is a fundamental, and probably intractable, problem in computer science. Many OS'es don't even attempt to keep track of multiple local and remote browsers that presently have a dir open, much less asynchronously force-refresh them when the dir contents change. Windows tries to, with an assortment of performance, nuisance and failure modes.
I blame Bill Gates.
Reboot the server .

Will a Mac automatically delete files/videos/pictures from an external hard drive?

I plugged in one of my external hard drives that contained documents, photos, and videos formatted from Windows. When I plugged it into my MacBook none of my files were on the external hard drive and I didn't see any prompts asking if I wanted to reformat my hard drive so I'm not sure if it was automatically deleted. Will a MacBook automatically delete files, pictures, videos from an external hard drive?

No.
What format is the external drive?

How do I automatically delete a .ps file after creating a pdf?

Hi all! I vaguley remember in the past that there is a preference to automatically delete a .ps file after creating a pdf. Can someone remind me of how to do this? I'm using Distiller version 9.2.0. Thank you so much!
Julie
PS: I'm creating the .ps file from Quark 7, if that makes a difference.

I am unaware of any feature allowing automatic delete of .PS files.
The adobePDF print driver which has been removed in OSX.6.x (Snow Leopard) That you choose when ina Document would go through the following steps in the background this made it slow.
create .ps File (hidden)
Checksum Verify the .ps File
Open Distiller in background (hidden)
Create Pdf
Checksum Verify the .pdf File
shut down Distiller in Backgroun (hidden)
Delete .ps File (hidden)
Pdf suddenly appears
If at any point in this chain something dies the pdf was not made.
Actually in prior OS to X.3.x the print driver provided for my Hp Inkjet, it was actually better to go to print menu, and choose save as postscript, then drop the postsript file on distiller and creat the PDF. or just open the ps in Acrobat.
with the PRint Drive provided for my HP Inkjet for X.3 it was changed to create Postcsript file from PDF. In the start having the PDF button on print menu. The pdf's were not as good as those created in the AdobePDF driver. But were aceptable for most purposes.

Trouble deleting PDF files

I purchased Acrobat X1 Standard recently which worked perfectly. Then I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 recently. Not sure if Op-System caused problem, but now.... when I try to delete a PDF file, dialog box says 'file is open in another program" and I have to click 'try again' 5-6 times in order to delete a file. The file is not open in another program that I can see. Help!!!

In some cases, Acrobat has not been completely closed and is still registering the file. Not sure if this is a fault of Acrobat or the OS, but if it was not happening in the Win8, then it sounds that at least the OS has created a problem.

OneDrive deletes my files automatically

Hi,
I was recommended to post here instead of the OneDrive forums.
I have a client whom uses OneDrive across six operating systems. There are 6 operating systems on 2 macs, parallels desktop, each have 3 cloned profiles.
Everything works good except OneDrive. It deletes new files we put in, and you can find them in the recycle bin on the other computers.
I have updated all profiles to Windows 8.1, I also tested this some days ago, and my files were kept for some reason (and they are still there). Now, again, whenever my client puts new documents in the OneDrive folder on one of his profiles, they get uploaded,
but suddenly deleted from the other profiles.
I have checked the computer names on all machines, they are not matching. Since each profile is cloned once, I thought there was an ID mistake (As someone else on this forum had this problem and solved it this way).
Can I get a detailed view of what is causing the problem? I can PM the username to a Microsoft employee if nobody else has a fix.
Kind regards,
Nima

Hi,
Please first take a try with the
Microsoft Accounts troubleshooter. After that check your sync settings again.
For more information, please see:
Sync settings between PCs with
OneDrive
The sync you have mentioned is associated with the Microsoft Account, I am afraid little help could be offered here.
For the logs, we might consider to audit the object access to check if someone changes the file location.
For more detailed information about auditting, please check:
Advanced Security Audit Policy Settings

Having trouble deleting movie files from itunes

I'm curious as to how I delete movies from itunes. I imported these clips of a movie into itunes and would now like to remove them but i can't seem to do that. I tried deleting the files off my hard drive. itunes recognizes that i deleted them but they still appear in the Video menu of itunes. Any help will be appreciated.
Windows XP

Hi, you can delete movies or music tracks from iTunes by selecting the file in the iTunes library and pressing delete, and then clicking the "Move to Trash" button in the confirmation box that pops up.
