Can I delete laptop files after backing up?

I am an art student and my computer only has 70 gb of space left and is running pretty slow. Is it possible to delete all my files on my laptop because everything is backed up on my external hard drive? Bad idea?
I'd appreciate any feedback - thanks!

You clearly have limited if any experience with any qualified backup tool. And your posts from last night indciate your actual age, so the lack of experience is not surprising.
A backup in a system like TimeMachine or CarbonCopyClone will eventually be rolled off of the disk to make room for more recent backups. Then you have no copies.
Please spend more time reading and less time responding. You will learn more that way. Then eventually you will have something to actually contribute.
You can start learning by reading posts from me, Network23, stedman1, Camelot.
None of them suggest deleting from internal drive after it is on the backup.
But you shold follow your own advice. Then live the consequences. You will be less likely to give that advic again.

Is it safe to delete driver zip files after driver udpate?

I have recently updated some drivers on my computer and I would like to know if it is safe to delete these zip files once the drivers have actually been installed. There are also some that are just files in the same update folder which are not compressed.

In short: you can't delete a file.
Did you close all accessing streams before deleting? Has something else a lock on the file?

Problem in deleting Zip files unzipped using java.util.zip

I have a static methos for unzipping a zip file. after unzipping the file when i am trying to delete that file using File.delete()its not getting deleted. but when methods like exist(). canRead(), canWrite() methods are returning true what can be the possible problem ? i had closed all the streams after unzipping operation Please go through the following code.
public static boolean unzipZipFile(String dir_name, String zipFileName) {
try {
ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(zipFileName);
Enumeration entries = zip.entries();
while (entries.hasMoreElements()) {
ZipEntry entry = (ZipEntry) entries.nextElement();
// got all the zip entries here
// now has to process all the files
// first all directories
// then all the files
if (entry.isDirectory()) {
// now the directories are created
File buf=new File(dir_name,entry.getName());
buf.mkdirs();
continue;
}// now got the dirs so process the files
entries = zip.entries();
while(entries.hasMoreElements()) {
// now to process the files
ZipEntry entry = (ZipEntry) entries.nextElement();
if (!entry.isDirectory()){
File buf=new File(dir_name,entry.getName());
copyInputStream(
zip.getInputStream(entry),
new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(buf)));}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
return true;

public static void main (String arg[]){
unzipZipFile("C:/temp","C:/tmp.zip");

Can't Open Zip files

Everytime it fails. I can't open zip files. Does anyone know why. I have my settings to allow all files when downloading something. When I go to download and it is complete it gives a setup exe. then I click on it and it does nothing.....
Plesae help...Starting to drive me nuts!

Hi Booher,
Zip files are cross platform. Doesn't matter if it's an a PC or a Mac. Either can open or create them. But .exe files are Windows only. An .exe is an application compiled for MS DOS or Windows, as are .com files. They won't work at all on a Mac without running them in a Windows environment such as Virtual PC.
The only exception is if the .exe is a self extracting archive created on a PC. That is, a .zip file converted to an .exe so if the person the compressed files are sent to doesn't have a way to open a .zip file, it will run as a program to do the same thing. These, OS X can open and extract as if it were still a .zip file.
You mention that one of the .zip files extracted its contents as a file named setup.exe. This will not work directly in the Mac OS in any way, as it is a Windows application/program.

Is it possible to delete zip files?

Please help me with this. I have tried almost anything, but it seems impossible to delete a zip file from a directory with java. I have closed the zipInputStream, and done all other precautions I can think of. My code to delete now is:
zipFile.delete();
zipFile = null;
System.gc();
This works for other file types, but NOT zip files... Any suggestions?

If you just want to delete a .zip file you can treat it like any other file i.e
java.io.File file1 = new java.io.File("D:\\zip1.zip");
file1.delete();You can also create .zip files in the same way i.e.
java.io.File file1 = new java.io.File("D:\\zip1.zip");
file1.createNewFile();

Can not modify a file after attaching it in gmail

I am running firefox 9.0.1 on windows xp pro and after I drag and drop a file to upload in gmail, the file cannot be deleted until I close firefox. I'm on a work computer so I can't update to the latest version of FF. This has been asked before but for previous versions of FF. Also the mail has been sent 10 minutes ago and I still can't delete the file. So the newly composed email has been closed

(You should talk to your IT department about the very real security risks of running such an old version of Firefox, and have them at least switch you to the Enterprise release of Firefox)

Delete zip file

Hi All,
I am trying to delete a zip file after unzipping it.
The zip file contains files and directories inside it.I could able to unzip it successfully but could not able to
delete it after unzipping it.
after unzipping iam calling file.delete() method.
please someone help me with some code.
any help is highly appreciated.

Im just speculating but Im guessing you still have some other object that is "holding" the zip file and making it "taken/buissy" sort of say(some streams or other things perhaps), which would persumably make it impossible for your program and other programs etc to delete it during that time.
Try and make all references to the zip file => null after your done with it, then delete.

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.
