Can I delete these files (see screen shot) after a catalog restore?

I have Photoshop Elements Organizer version 9.0.3.0 and am running Windows 7 64-bit SP1.
After I got a new computer, I created a backup of my catalog (via the file drop-down menu in Elements Organizer).
I then restored the catalog to my new computer (via the same drop down menu in Elements Organizer). It went fine and my catalog is just as I left it.
Now I'm trying to clean up the look of things in my "My Pictures" folder (I'm a little OCD, lol). The restore made a folder within a folder within a folder... so I was wondering if I can delete all these files that the restore made? (see screen shot) This is the entire contents of one of the folders the restore created. The other folder just contained all my photos by themselves.
I don't know what all those folders do, so want to make sure they will not damage/corrupt my catalog or the organizer if I delete them. I will later make another back-up, of course. I'm hoping that all these files will just recreate themselves? I just want to delete them so I can get rid of so many excess folders in my "My Pictures." I just like to click "My Pictures" and have my pictures be RIGHT THERE. It's annoying to have to click through like 4 folders to get to them after this catalog restore.
Thanks for any guidance!

@99jon,
Thank you for your help! And, dang it, I did choose a custom location for the restore. The instructions I was following said to do that (I didn't really know what I was doing so I made sure to follow them to a 'T'). Looks like the file path for the catalog *is* pointing to that folder in the screen shot of my original question here.
So does this mean there is no way to delete them? I wish I could just start fresh (but of course still have my catalog with all my images and the right categories/keyword tags, etc). I don't mind the wait for regenerating things or moving things and stuff.
I don't remember ever seeing all those breeze files and cache files, etc, on my old computer. I never saw any files of the sort until I did the back-up.... of course, maybe that's because they were stored somewhere other than right inside "My Pictures?"

Can I delete/remove files from my iPhone after importing into LR?

Stoked to be able to pull photos and video from my iPhone via LR and skip iPhoto. But it didn't give me the option to 'move' the photos just to copy them. So now I have them all on my laptop but need to delete them from my iPhone to make more room. Deleting on the iPhone is a tetious one by one (checkmarking them) process. Any ideas?

It can't be done by any LR option. You can do it be means of a script, and Rob Cole (often posts here) has written one. Not sure if he's made it available to others.
This has been much discussed, and you'll find a strong polarisation between people like Rob, who think it remiss of Adobe not to include "move" as an option, and people like me that think it a dangerous feature, and shouldn't even be an option!

There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
These file extenssions are listed as
olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
Oh the ...olk14_message's. Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder. Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook. They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
You can delete them however using Outlook itself. In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left. It will show you the messages in that mailbox. You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox. The click the Edit menu and select Delete. You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections. Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes. When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar. Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages. So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox. And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too. It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox. But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there. And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

When i go to about this mac and look at my storage it says that i have 33GB of music. i recently deleted 2 user accounts but can't find any of these files. Where do i go to delete these files?

What are you asking? Where music is stored or where the user accounts were stored?
Music should be in the music folder - perhaps inside of an iTunes folder.
User accounts should be on the home directory.

Loaded iPhoto 9.2, my 7200 photos grew to 113,000 files with screen shots, duplicates, ,5-10copies of faces and apple has no way to eliminate this. How can I ever retrieve the original 7200 from this mess?

This can happen if the HD icon is inadvertently dragged to the iPhoto Window.
Easiest solution: restore from your back up.

I had a similar situation. My credit card bill shows a charge on Sept 8 and Sept 9, both for $55.99. I called Apple but they said that I was the victim of identity theft so I cancelled my credit card. They have not refunded my money.

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.

Can't Delete Some Files on Media Vault

I have hundreds of files on my Media Vault, and I often delete old files I
no longer need. But once in a while I can't delete a file, and get this error
message:"You require permission from Unix User\nobody to make changes to this
file." Does anyone know how I can get in touch with User\nobody so I can ask for
permission?
Thanks
Michael Trombetta

No, I tried that before I posted. I am the administrator of my systemS.
Actually I'm trying to move the files and directories from a permanent directory (HP defined) to a user defined directory. I was able to move 90% of the data with using the context entry "Move to Folder". I was trying to move the remainder, but I keep getting messages from UNIX that I don't have the authority. I'm running Win 7 Pro on an HP 6250. I have tried to change the permissions to no avail, see attached. Should I try an XP system?
I did check and the files are marked as N (not indexed). I had 3 screen prints but I see no way to include them.

Can't delete orphaned files

If know how this works and it should be simple. I ran Check Links Sitewide. I highlighted Orphaned Files under the Link Checker tab. There are a lot of them--over 6,000. I want to delete these files. I select all of them and press the Delete button, nothing happens. I select a few and try the same thing. I try it with both delete buttons and with cmd-delete (which works in Mac Finder). I even try checking to see if there is a delete option under the right mouse button. Still nothing. (unless somehow these files are being deleted invisibly but still show up on the list? Shouldn't the filename disappear from the list when they are deleted?) I checked my keyboard and the delete button is working. Any ideas what is happening? Any other method I can use to delete these files?

I suggest recreating your cache.
You will find it in the menus at the top.

I can't delete a file in the Content-Management

Hello,
I can't delete a file in the Content-Management, altough I have full control.
I get the following error message:
System error (com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException): null
Many thanks for the help.

Dear SAPMuffel ,
As far as we can see the error "com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException" is telling that the resource you are trying to delete could not be found, that is also to say, it might not exist any more.
So please let me know exactly how you can reproduc this issue?
and what kind of file it is? under what kind of KM repository?
Is there any other file under the same KM folder?
Also you can reproduce the issue and then check the lastest defaulttrace file under this folder:
../j2ee/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.*.trc
here you can find the detailed exception.
Best Regards,
Thunder

Can i delete a file on my external disk?

I have a toshiba external hard disk. When i plug it into my macbook air, i can only see my documents and copy them to the macbook or copy files from macbook to hard disk. But i can't delete any file on my external disk. How can i can do it?

It sounds like you originally used this drive with a Windows PC. Drives formatted as Windows NTFS can be read by a Mac but not written to (files cannot be deleted). If you want to keep the files that are on the drive, you can use Paragon NTFS (it's about $20) to install a driver allowing your Mac to write to the drive and delete files. This will allow you to continue to use the drive with both Mac and PC.
Or, if you have copied off all the files you need, you can use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder to wipe and reformat the drive to Mac format. You will no longer be able to use the drive with a PC.

I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie. I used drag and drop to copy them.

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.
