Can I delete the "sleepimage" file?

When using Carbon Copy Cloner to back-up my MBP it fails to complete the backup & informs me that there is a problem with the "sleepimage" (
/Previous Systems.localized/2008-12-15_1026/private/var/vm/sleepimage).
It then says, "This file is sitting on a bad section of hard disk media and is unrecoverable. Delete this file (i.e. in the Finder) and restore it from a known good backup, then try the backup task again."
What should I do to rectify this problem!
PLEASE HELP
Thanks

Post here from the always formidable jsd2 that explains that CCC when copying incrementally excludes the sleepimage file. Unless, maybe that's been changed now in CCC?

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

Can I delete the PDF file's content in Adobe Reader plug-in?

I create a plug-in for Adobe Reader, when I open the PDF file, can I delete the PDF file's content in the plug-in?

The people here are visitors who might have knowledge and might choose to share it, if they have the time, and feel like answering a question. Your questions, instead, suggest that you think it is someone's job here to answer your questions. If you want it to be someone's job, you should raise a support case. This too will require patience.
You will not welcome this advice, I am sure, but it is well not to try to use your own deadline to try to make other people feel the problem is more urgent to them.

Evernote: Can I delete the imported file???

If you are a premium suscriber to Evernote, can you delete the original file (i.e., PDF, Excel, ...) that was imported into Evernote or do you need to keep it for future editing, sharing or such?
It seems Evernote copies the imported file and puts it into the Evernote folder located in the hidden Library directory (user/home/library/application support/evernote).

I can't delete the master file, which is located on my external HD, through aperture

I import a folder to aperture which is stored on my external HD, and keep the originals on the HD. If I try to delete a master file with the option, file-delete master image and all versions, the photo deletes from Aperture, but not my hard drive. I have even tried to delete my trash, but no luck. Please help, otherwise I do not want to use aperture for file management, which was one of my major reasons for buying it.

After you've deleted a file it from the project it goes into Aperture Trash. When you empty Aperture Trash (Aperture>Empty Aperture Trash) you will get a dialogue box asking "Are you sure you want to permanently delete all items in the Trash?" Under this there is a checkbox giving you the option to "Move referenced files to System Trash". If you check this box it will move the master to the system trash, and from there you can permanently delete the file.
All this is to stop you from accidentally deleting work.

HT1449 Now that i have my iTunes backed up on iCloud and iCloud Match running, can I delete the music files from my MacBook Pro? It is running out of hard drive space.

When I started this request in the Support section, I did not realize I was typing a subject into a header. Sorry.
My MacBook Pro is nearly full and I would like to rely on iCloud for my music with the hope of freeing up space by deleting the music files I have accumulated on this machine. Can I just delete the files in the iTunes folder or is there some special procedure?
Thanks in advance for your help on this.

After I zip a file, should I or can I delete the original files since I'm trying to save space, or do I have to keep the original one?

I'm trying to free some space up on my computer and was going to start compressing as many files as I can. I noticed that when I compress one, I see the new zipped file and then still the original files. So, should I delete the original files after I get the zip file?
Thanks!

Yes, you can delete the original files.
But if you're running short of space, consider getting a larger HD for your Mac.

I want to delete temporary internet files. Notice I did not say clear the cache. That does not work! How can I delete the temp files? Why did you take that feature away? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

I search for how to delete temp int files and keep coming up with the "clear cache" crap. That is not what I searched for. Clear cache does NOT delete the temp files. Why would you take that feature away??

The Windows temporary internet files folder isn't used directly by Firefox. Firefox uses its own cache folder and you can see its current usage on the about:cache page via the location bar.
If anything does show up in the temporary internet files folder then it is likely caused by using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight. You need to clear that folder via IE or the control panel (internet settings).

Can I delete the .tmp files?

In "My Adobe Captivate Projects" folder I have noticed a
large number of .tmp files. Is it safe to delete these? They are
not in a specific project folder and some are very large.
I have about 22 projects and about 15 .tmp files. Example
names are Ado1AC.tmp; ADo1AF.tmp; Ado51D.tmp.
Any ideas?

Welcome to our community, ameurope2
They should be safe to delete. However, it's worth noting
that under certain circumstances, Captivate projects sometimes
perform a disappearing act. And often, you may simply rename the
ADO??.TMP to ProjectName.CP and you can be back in business.

Can i delete the Bin files or VSF file? in my hyper V physical machine?

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines
Jags

Hi,
I agree with Brian,
BIN files:
This file contains the memory of a virtual machine or snapshot that is in a saved state.
VSV files
This file contains the saved state from the devices associated with the virtual machine.
So if you don’t have the special reason, please don’t delete them.

How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated. But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library. How can I delete the old file? So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there. Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

Once a movie is copied into iTunes, can I delete the file from the folder?

I've copied several movies into iTunes and then sync'd them onto my Apple TV.
My question is: Once I've copied a movie into iTunes, can I delete the movie from its original folder (e.g. the Movie folder) and still have the movie in my iTunes?
More specifically, does "dragging and dropping" the movie into iTunes make a new copy of the movie file so that I can delete the original file? And if I can delete the original file, should I?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks. I'll check and see when I get home tonight. My guess is that that's the setting since my disk space has decreased a lot when I started copying things into iTunes.

How can I delete the files .DS_store in Mac OS Yosemite?

How can I delete the files .DS_store in Mac OS Yosemite?

The .DS_Store file is normal. It holds certain settings related to the folder it is found in. Removing these files is futile, as they will come back, as you have observed.
If you are seeing them on your Mac, that means you have changed settings so that your Mac is showing invisible files in the Finder. To reverse that, run the following command in the Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
This will hide them, and any other invisible files, from view.
If you are seeing them on a Windows machine, just ignore them. They're not doing any harm.
If you found a Terminal command that is supposed to stop them from being created, I would be extremely skeptical as to the wisdom of running it.

How can I delete the photos or files in my iCloud storage that is no longer needed?

How can I delete the photos or files in my icloud storage that is no longer needed?

Explain how it didn't work and what you are trying to delete. Since icloud doesn't store photos except for those in a backup (then delete the backup); photos in photo stream do not count towards your storage limit.
