Bookmarks can't delete folder favorite

I Can't delete my folder of favorite. Before I have only one (star one) folder and now I have two.

What model Mac is this on & is it booted to OS 9.2.2?
There are several ways to trash a problem file.
1. Depress/hold the Option key & then empty the trash (this is usually used for locked files)
2. Do a Shutdown or Restart & then empty the trash (the shutdown will close all applications)
3. Boot up from a CD with a system & then empty the trash.
There's another way, but it's more complicated. Will provide instructions if the above don't work.

Can't delete folder in bookmarks

I tired to delete folder in bookmarks.

I renamed them so I can tell the current one I want to use and that seems to of remained each time I open browser.

I can't delete a favorite imported from "Firefox" into "IE 11". Why?

I uninstalled Firefox and started using IE 11. I imported my saved HTML bookmarks into IE. ONE folder used "***" (asterisks) in the title of the folder. When it was imported into IE, the "***" were replaced with "spaces", since IE cannot use that type of character as part of the title.
i.e. I titled the folder "***Flight Planning***". IE cannot use "***". So it now looks like " Flight Planning ". Just spaces. I tried renaming, deleting, and re-importing. It won't delete.
When I try to deleting it says "This is no longer located in c:\users\~...~\Favorites\". When I try renaming it, it says "This is no longer located in c:\users\~...~\Favorites\" or "could not find this item".
How do I delete it?

This is a support forum for Firefox and Thunderbird. If the following doesn't answer your question, ask on the appropriate forum:
* http://answers.microsoft.com
Internet Explorer keeps favorites as individual .URL files. You should be able to delete the file manually.
# Exit Internet Explorer.
# Click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
# In the top right corner, right-click your user name and choose Open.
# In the Windows Explorer window that opened, open the Favorites folder.
# Delete the favorite you want to get rid of.

Can't delete folder

Hi folks.
I've got a 5th generation ipod, fat32 fomatted. I often use my ipod to bring some data from a to b, so i created a folder called "data". But now there always remains a file of 0Kb in the folder. Though this file actually can be deleted using the explorer, it won't dissapear. It'll be still there clicking on "data" again.
Maybe someone has experienced somthing similar.
The point is I don't wanna format the complete harddisk.

Alright. I solved it myself. Anyone who's experiencing similar problem use this sowtware to delete invalid files:

Can't delete folder until I quit InDesign and Photoshop

I'm sure this has been covered but I can't find it anywhere.
I'm cleaning house; working in Windows Explorer on Windows 7. I look at files in InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5, close the files delete them but I can't delete the folder that contained them until I quit InDesign and Photoshop. I remember this from previous versions also.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks, Sidney

I have that annoying problem too, have a look at this thread. I haven't tried that fix because the trial doesn't work on deleting files, only copying and the website is terrible.

How can I delete folder in Messages - Show Folder

Hi.
I have BB9900. When I will go to Messages->Show Folder – then I see Folders And there is some e-mail adress, inbox etc. many of them. There is also one e-mail address which is not used for me now – it’s used in past. I would like to delete that folder. How can I do that?
Thank you in advance.

Double posting does not get a quicker response, it just upsets people and takes up more space.

Can't delete folder (or files in it) - VERY strange issue

ok i know there's been tons of questions about how to delete/force delete a troublesome file or folder. believe me, i searched, i've tried them all, and still, i couldn't solve it.
here's my problem:
a) 4 files, in a folder called "as".
- 06Jacksons Club "Sunspot".mp3
- 11_Novelette Conclusion" excerpt_Lisa edit.mp3
- 16_Green Tea At Denny_s _Mary P. _Aka High Places Singer, Bassoonist, Zine-Maker, BOO - The "P" Is For Pearson_].mp3
- 20_"Arrival In Benaras__ From Merchant-Ivory_s Film __The Guru__.mp3
b) things i tried so far, and what happened:
- using the terminal with sudo/rm. answers for a file: "No such file or directory".
- using the terminal with rm/sudo to delete the whole folder:
rm: /Volumes/Untitled/as/: is a directory ... is the answer i get, and it stays there, doesnt move
c) if i move it into trash, when i try emptying it, everything goes except for that folder and it's files inside, neither does force deleting it via the terminal make it disappear. the "crushing" noise is audible, but nothing happens. no errors or anything, it just stays there.
d) if i click on one of the files, they disappear (!!!). if i play around in finder and come back to that folder later, they're there again. the folder itself can be normally copied, renamed, moved around on the harddisk and everything. if i duplicate the folder, the dublicate is empty, unlike the original folder.
e) NO music player or anything else ever used those files.
f) they are 0 bytes each.
g) another note: the files and the folder are on an ext. harddrive. the harddrive is not faulty.
h) i even tried deleting them from a windows computer, which keeps saying the filenames are too long or invalid, and it wont work either.
i) the folder or the files are not locked, i have full read/write permission, i tried reinstalling several times, i also tried it from safe mode.
j) formatting the harddisk is NOT an option.
i would be very helpful if anyone could help me with this very annoying issue. i just want to see my trashcan empty for once.
thanks very very much!

Try booting to Safe Mode (hold down the shift key while booting, restart may take a long time but let it go), sometimes just doing that works. Restart normally.

Can't delete folder I created in Home directory

I created a music folder as an alternate to iTunes in my Home directory. Recently it started acting funny: wouldn't open in finder, wouldn't allow me to rename it, and now won't let me move or delete it. I tried unlocking it and checked that I have read and write priveleges. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing that Finder keeps .trash open to know wether or not files have been added to it and update the Dock icon, right?No.
The visible 'Trash' you see in the finder is the union of all your trash folders. Each volume (potentially) contains a /.Trashes/ folder at its root level. Within that there are folders with UIDs as their name, 501 being the first 'normal user' and 0 being root. Your "/.Trashes/502" means you were booted from another volume at some time. However, that trash folder is empty, as you correctly deduced.
Your "123 bytes .. /Users/name/.Trash" is not empty, however, because of the size. "123" is not a valid size, either (must be a multiple of 34). So you have directory problems on your hard disk—you need to fix that with Disk Repair, from Disk Utility while booted from your Install disk: see Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance.
You will probably see an "Invalid Link Count" message, hopefully this is not so serious that Disk Utility can't repair it, but let us know.

Can't delete folder/picture

Good day. I have a folder "untitled folder" on my desktop, with a single photograph inside. When I try to delete the folder to the trash, I am told I can't because I "do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items". If I try to delete just the pic inside, I am told the same thing. A couple of times I was told that the folder was in use.
I can drag the pic to the desktop and then delete it, but it remains in the folder which is interesting to me.
I have never had this happened to me before. It's not really a problem for me but has my curiosity up now. Any ideas? I have checked permissions under "get info" but I am the system admin and the only user. It shows read and write for this folder. Mac Mini Intel 2 Leopard 10.5.1
Thanks RR1

There are actually many users in OS X, even though you may be the only human one. "System" is not you, it is the "root" or "superuser" capable of withholding privileges even from "admin" users like your initial user account. However, since read write privileges are extended to "everyone" you should be able to delete the file normally unless certain modes are set for the file or its enclosing folder, which apparently is the case here.
The Terminal command "sudo" allows any admin user to gain most of the superuser privileges, which is why DaMikki suggested the command line containing it. It isn't clear from your replies if you are using it correctly: you must enter the command starting with "sudo," then hit return, then blindly enter your password at the prompt (you will not see it echoed to the command line), then hit return for it to be accepted & the command executed.
Additionally, you must use the exact file path to the folder following "rm -R " (note the trailing space) in the command. If the file path includes any spaces (like in "untitled folder"), you must either enclose the path in quotes or "escape" the spaces in the path name with leading backslashes, as in DaMikki's example. To make this easier, you can type the command up to to the space following "rm -R " & then drag the folder from the desktop to the terminal window, which will automatically copy its path with any escapement needed. CAUTION: "sudo rm" is a very powerful command, capable of permanently deleting almost any file in the OS without confirmation. It is imperative that you enter the command correctly, especially no extra, unescaped spaces in the file path name, to prevent deleting the wrong file or files.
If you have done this & the file is still not deleted, double check that the path name is correct. For example, if the folder is named anything other than "untitled folder," including an extra leading or trailing space ("untitled folder "), the command won't delete it.
You should see an error message if the command doesn't execute. If so, please tell us what it is.

Can't Delete Folder from iCloud?

I downloaded a program from the app store to my iPhone called Documents 5 (produced by a company named Readdle). The program placed a folder on my iCloud account titled Documents, with the app's logo on it. I decided that I would not use the program so I deleted it from my phone. I also deleted the folder from my iCloud drive using the Finder view on my desktop (drug and dropped it into the trash-- emptied the trash, and the folder was gone). I noticed, however, that when I logged into iCloud from a browser, and then went into my iCloud drive the folder was still there. I could find no way to delete it like other folders. In short, something is preventing me from deleting this useless folder. I looked in the drive using finder on my desktop and there it was again. I contacted Readdle and asked them how to remove the folder, and they told me at this point there is absolutely no way to remove it from my iCloud drive. The folder was self-generated by the app when I installed it and used it on my phone. Is there truly no way to delete this?

Apparently there isn't, at least not at this time. This issue has been reported by others as well and there is no solution at this time.

Why i can not delete folder in launchpad

hello.
i just made folder in launchpad for put some application in.
then i pick that application from folder and that folder was removed.
but everytime when i turn on my laptop
the folders always reproduced in launchpad
that is the problem i just want to remove it...

This procedure will reset the state of LaunchPad to its default. Any customization that you did will be removed.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Dock
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names ending in ".db". Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the folder open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the files you moved back where they were, overwriting the ones that may have been created in their place. Then log out and in again. Otherwise, delete the files you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Can't delete folder in USB drive..

Hello,
I copied a locked folder that contain my PGP keys to a USB drive that is connected to my Airport and has 2 partitions. one for TM and one things I don't want to carry on my laptop.
Rearranging the setup, I copied a locked folder from my HD to the USB drive. now trying to delete it, trash gives the message "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items" looking at the folders info. it shows the access like this: under name there are 2 (unknown) with read & write access and there is one named everyone also with read & write access.

How did you trash it? Did you trash it directly from the USB drive or did you first move it onto your internal HD?

How to delete all favorites in here maps at once?

How can i delete all favorites in here maps at once? On my Nokia lumnia 920 maps is not working due long synchronisation time.
Arnold
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do not see any option to do that at once.. You need to delete them one-by-one ...
What if you go to settings (in Maps on your device..) and set 'Synchronise favourites automatically' to OFF?
Other work around is to create a fresh account at here.com and use that as Nokia account on your phone..

Under Bookmarks, suddenly 30 listings for identical Bookmarks Bar folder and 30 for identical Favorites Bar folder. I still can't delete them.

My desktop and laptop are synched. Both have Bookmarks Bar 30x, and Favorites Bar 30x, and can't delete. There was no file like the one suggested earlier, as a fix. Please advise as to my options, I have to scroll for miles before I can get to my Bookmark listings.

You need to disconnect the computer from the Sync server before trying to repair the bookmarks.
You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

How to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown?

how to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown.

The built-in Firefox Sync service allows you to store your settings, including bookmarks, on a Mozilla server. This isn't accessible as a file like Google Drive; it can only be used by connecting another copy of Firefox to your Sync account. You can read more about this here: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] (I haven't tried it myself since it changed recently.)
The cross-browser Xmarks service is more focused: it just does bookmarks. http://www.xmarks.com/ (I've never tried this one either)
If you prefer working with files and you have a Dropbox or similar account, you could in theory back up your Firefox profile folder, or more particularly, the bookmarkbackups subfolder. I haven't tried that myself. To find the folder:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
A window should launch showing your currently active settings files. The bookmarkbackups folder should contain dated .json files which can be used to restore your bookmarks to another copy of Firefox.
Alternately, someone might have created an add-on for saving Firefox bookmarks to the cloud another way, but I haven't heard of one.
