Can NOT delete Document?

I can't delete a doc. named ".DS_Store". It has now shown up in almost all my files. I put it in the trash and it pops back up on my desk top or file I'm trying to remove it from. I secure empty the trash and it gone from the trash but remains in all the files & desktop. It is different sizes too, from 24KB to 16KB. I can't open it either. The creation date changes too. Earliest I've found is Aug 16 2008 and the latest is last night when I trashed it last. I haven't noticed any changes other than that document just sitting on my desktop and at the top of most of my files. Is there a way to remove this?

Do NOT delete this document. It is an important meta data document that helps Mac OS X know among other things how to organize files in the Finder. If it got visible, ignore it, and turn off whatever system you are using that renders invisible documents visible so you don't accidently delete files you need.

  • Can not delete "documents" folder in iphone photo album

    I don't know how it happened but I opened my photo album recently and noticed that there is a roll in there called "Documents". When I open it there are several photos, one of which is a document on how to use windows fax and scan, a few others are generic windows desktop photos and a few others are from a website I designed a long time ago. My suspicion is that it's from the airsharing app i used to have.
    I am not able to delete these documents. Anyone have any idea how to get rid of them? Hopefully without a reset of my phone.
    I included a picture here:

    Thanks for the help!

    Did you try to copy the folder to another place and delete it afterwards in the photo album on your pc and apply a sync?

  • Can Not Delete digital signature

    Acrobat 6.0 Windows. Have a digital signature field (mine) in a document. The digital signature tab and the field both show a red X. The signature tab says the field is invalid. It says it contains potentially malicious content - Java actions. It also says that changes were made to the document that invalidate the signature.
    I need to add some more text fields and fill in their values and can NOT do that now.
    I have checked the Knowledgebase and the Help file and can NOT delete the signature the way they say - it says the signature is read-only.
    Please HELP !

    Hi,
    It sounds like the document author set the file up so the creation of the signature locked all of the fields in the document (to prevent tampering). If that was the case, then the signature field was locked as well which prevents the signature from being cleared. Sorry, but there is no work around.

  • Urgent help -can not access Documents (windows 7)

    After some one renamed one profile and my documents (roaming profile and my documents redirected to network path too through group policy).  Now , I can not open Documents.  I got this message: "can't open this item  It might have been
    moved, renamed, or deleted.  Do you want to remove this item?"
    Thank you.

    Since you have a roaming profile, you must be connected to a Windows server. If so then you should discuss this problem with your network administrator.

  • Can not delete outbox item on PC

    there are several items in the folder: Nokia phone Browser—〉Nokia N70—〉Messages—〉Outbox， and they can not be deleted on my pc, however, my N70 phone has no these items!
    I can use other functions normally,such as send sms on PC via usb connection, can also delete inbox items on pc via usb/Bluetooth connection.
    How can I delete the “outbox” items?
    My pcsuit: 6.80.22, my windows Xp+sp2, thanks
    btw,you can get more detail through the attached pic.

    Hi,
    I think that it is "feature" that you can not delete messages from Outbox -> I can not do that also. But message is deleted automatic from my Outbox folder when I press button "update" (and phone has sent that message)
    If you go to folder: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Phone Browser\Nokia E70\Messages\Outbox\
    And press delete to one of message, what is not working?

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

    I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

  • I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

    I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
    Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
    The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
    Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the Firefox is being used

    I think I have a solution.
    First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
    Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
    Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
    This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
    I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
    Wa-la...History Gone!!!
    As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
    Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
    Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.
