Bridge - can't delete files in some folders

I just installed CS3 on my new PC. My problem is that in SOME (but not all) folders when I hit delete to get rid of some files it just totally ignores the command - it's not rejecting it - i've tried ALT+ delete and even the dustin icon at the top right hand side. NOTHING - it's as if i haven't pressed anything.
then i've opened other folders (on the same drive) and the delete works like a dream. around half the folders on my drive have 'deletable' files and half are completely stuck. I copied one folder onto a different drive and from there i am able to deletes files from it.
any ideas what is going on????????????????
thanks
desperate in London!

Thanks curt young, that was the ticket.
I'm running Vista 64 with 8GB of memory, quad core, because it's noticeably faster than XP. I too am always in Administrator mode.
But...I had the "permissions" message too, right clicking on the icon, going into Properties, then clicking on Compatibility tab, then checking the "Run this program as an administrator" box solved the problem instantly on next program load.
Vista...what a concept. For that matter, Bridge, what a concept. As in, great concept, when are you guys at Adobe going to fix all the bugs in this useful but klugey program?
But at least it's working for now after the fix, thanks again curt.
How stupid is it for a program or an OS to require that, even though you're logged in as Admin, you have to tell the program to run in Admin? Just lame as all heck. ;-) Don't mind me, I'm in a rant mood this morning.
peace, love, Obama 08

    Can I delete files in "All My Files" under Finder and Favorites without deleting them in the actual folders?  If they will be deleted from the original folders then how do I put them on the external hard drive to save the documents, photos, and videos?

    Switch to the Finder app and open its preferences.
    Remove the check mark on the items you don't want displayed in the Sidebar tab.
    The originals are not removed from the machine.

  • I can't login, keep geting "Your  Startup Disk is Full" and asking me to delete file. if I cant login how can I delete files? Please help

    I Keep getting "your startup disk is full" ..... "You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting file..."  If I can't have an acess, how can I delete files. Please help..

    That means the hard drive of your computer is full, and you don't have enough free space on your computer, to do what you are trying to do. 
    You need to clear up space on your computer. 
    If you hard drive is full, check the following places to ensure they are not holding unwanted data.
    - your trash can in the dock
    - if you use iPhoto, your trash in iPhoto - launch iPhoto, and select trash in the left hand column.  iPhoto has it's own trash, and is often overlooked
    - your download folder - finder / home user / downloads - every time you download something, it stores it here. This is often overlooked as well
    - do you have more than one user on the computer?  If you do, ensure they are needed.  If not, delete them, and the contents of their home folders
    If you hard drive is very full, you may want to consider the following:
    - putting in a newer larger hard drive - (call you local apple store for prices on this)
    - deleting data off your computer
    - moving data to an external drive - (iPhoto Libraries, iTunes Libraries or iMovie events, as they are the biggest space hogs)

  • Can not delete files from Adobe reader

    can not delete files from adobe reader.

    Can you let us know a little more about what you are trying to do? Adobe Reader opens pdf files but does not store them so, there's nothing to delete.

  • Where can I find the Start up disk and how can I delete file from it.

    where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
    How can I delete files from it?

    The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA.  You may delete files by draging the file  to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete).  Then empty Trash.

  • I can´t delete files in trash. It stops after a short time undone. What can I do?

    I can´t delete files in trash . It stops after a short time undone.
    What can I do? There are 52 files in trash, but if I click the button "sure empty" it shows 11.313 files to delete .
    I would be very greatful for your help!

    Stronger medicine may be needed, but try this first
    Force the Trash to empty using the Option key
    This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
    Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
    Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
    Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
    Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.

    You are posting in the iMac PPC forum, but it looks like you have an Intel Mac. Get Trash It if you have an Intel.

  • Can't delete files and need to restart lightroom

    hello
    have you ever seen this problem?
    when using lightroom 1.3.1 on PC, I can't delete files. Lightroom doesn't work and i need to restart the program.
    Thanks for your answers

    having same problem here. I used to have the option to delete, but it seems to have dissapeared. I can delete but if I look in recycle its not there. If I go to undo, it says my last action was to delete the keyword which also removed it from the catalog. weird............

  • Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted?

    Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted. Any sugestions? I have three Mac's and they all have the same problem.

    Gmatos, when I high-light and drag file from iTunes to my trash the usual promt of "do I want to remove it" followed by by the uual "do I want to keep the file or remove that from my library" comes up too. I click "dont keep file" and it is gone from my itunes and my library an my HD. It's exactly the same as it's always been except annoyingly this is the only way I can do it as the delete button just doesn't work in this latest version.
    Hope this is clearer for you.

  • Ok, so it appears that my photo gallery and video gallery decided to delete themselves? Is there a trash can or deleted file where I can recover them? Please help

    Ok, it seems that my photo gallery and video gallery decided to
    delete themselves. Is there a way to recover them perhaps from
    a trash can or deleted file? I have a Android

    appreciate your reply
    1. i do not see a trashcan iconwhen i open the photos.
    2. the photos are NOT in the 'camera roll' they are in a folder called 'iPad photos' (which is in the 'albums' section of the iPad)
    3. i have re-set the iPad numerous times in order to try and resolve this. each time it is the same - no trashcan.
    4. i have no method of 'moving' the photos to another folder - only the option to 'add to' a 'new folder'. since thsi won't delete the original photos, there is little point in trying this.
    5. i'm guessing your next suggestion will be to completely back up and re-set my iPad? is that really what i should be doing here? surely... surely.... please, this should be a simple - select>trashcan>delete process and not something i have to spend half my working day trying to resolve! seriously, seriosly, unimpressed with Apple over this issue. it's about time that Apple gave the power back to the user on devices like these. i can understand now why people jailbreak their iPads... there rant over - but please consider my feelings over this issue.

  • Can not delete file with illegal character

    have a file with name of e}ail.txt
    can not delete it. Tried e*.txt, did not work.
    removed everything from the directory , renamed the directory to badDirectory , tried rm badDirectory /s /q
    and that didn't work.
    dir /X did not report an 8.3 file name.
    can not delete file or directory from FileManager either.
    went to a Linux box and did an smbfs mount. Still can not delete file.
    So, how does one delete a file with a openface curly bracket in the name?

  • HT4873 How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.
