Can not delete file. Error is "Could not find this item".

I get the following error when trying to delete a file:  "Item not found".  This is a Word 2007 document that would not save properly so I saved it with a different name.  Now I can't delete the original file.
The body of the error states "Could not find this item.  This is no longer located in... . Verify the item's location and try again.

Hi,
I'm having exact the same problem with a file with a long name, to delete, move, rename, attribute change, etc. I deleted the file, which I receive the confirmation. However, the file is still there, with zero bytes and no extension. When I try
to delet, move or change the file, I get the error "Could not find this item, This is no longer located in xxx. Verify the item's location and try again."
I tryed everything: Using DOS, there's no 8.3 name format; In safe mode; chkdsk and sfc. Nothing worked.
I also tryed the tricks in http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/27924-could-not-find-item-when-deleting-files-3.html
http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1038943.htm
Without success.
I took some more time and found this tool on the net "DelinvFile". It works perfectly, after trying EVERYTHING!!!.
I Have Windows 7 professional 64bits and NTFS.
Thank you very much.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou......... We are almost bald tearing our hair out over this issue and how to fix it.     Delin File WORKS...... At the cost of about 28 bucks well worth it.............. Good onya mate............

    I have adobe reader 8.1.3 installed and cannot uninstall it as i get the same error message as when i try to open files or download the new version. When I type %appdata% into run nothing comes up. I have been through lots of other threads and cannot find a solution so ive made my own please help!

    You can download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/ - run the downloaded installer, then start the
    program from Start | Programs | Windows Install Clean Up.  Select Adobe Reader, then click 'Remove'.
    N.B. I've heard that this program can cause problems if Office 2007 is installed; don't use it if you have Office 2007!
    The above tool helps you to uninstall Adobe Reader, but it will not fix the basic problem with the corrupt %APPDATA% environment variable.  You can try to fix it with http://fixitcenter.support.microsoft.com/
    P.S. this software is still beta; I strongly recommend to make a System Restore Point before proceeding.  Let us know if you need any help with this (and please state your Windows version if you do).

  • OS X 10.6.8 - Mountain lion will not download. Error: "We could not complete your purchase."

    I am currently running OS X 10.6.8 on an iMac (model identifier iMac11,1). I have purchased Mountain Lion so that we can run Adobe CC. I have been advised that Mavericks is not compatible with our proxy server.
    When attempting download from the Mac app store I receive this error:
    "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    The following is shown in console when attempting to download:

    Please help! I have read many discussions and there doesn't seem to be a fix for this as yet. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    The following article pointed me in a better direction:

    I tried to go the partition route, but for some reason the operation failed.
    I decided to attempt a Lion install again afterwards anyway, but once again it failed, but now my whole system was hosed and could not revert back to Snow Leopard.
    I did a restore from time machine. Once that completed, I attempted to install Lion again, and ta da! it works now.
    What a pain.

  • Error when deleting file: Could not find this item. This is no longer located in ...

    We are setting up a new Windows 2012 server. Users access this server using a 'terminal services'. We have mapped some folders from a legacy server (different domain). Using group policy preferences, we map this folder as a drive for a user.
    When user wants to delete some files, he get's the error: 'Could not find this item ..' The error is displayed to the user and it looks like the file can't be deleted. But when I press the F5 (refresh) button, the file is gone. My problem is very similar
    to a problem in the following post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/042e747a-0e25-4190-b0a2-82f3e9635eb0/can-not-delete-file-error-is-could-not-find-this-item?forum=w7itprogeneral
    When I create 'txt' (or 'pdf', 'zip') file, i can delete it without the error. When I create 'xlsx', 'docx', 'pptx', 'bmp', 'jpg', I get the error.
    Does somebody have an idea, how can I fix the cause of this problem? (I can't tell to users to hit the F5 button everytime when they face this issue)
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    I have Adobe Reader 9.5.3 that gives me an error code of 1635.  This error occured after downloading an adobe up-grade and then deleting the up-grade.  Prior to the up-grade printing an other functions wer ok.  How can I delete the error?

    I have found this, that may be helpful:
    Try using the Microsoft Fix it wizard, available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971187. The wizard updates the Windows registry so that you can usually uninstall previous versions of the program, or install or update the current version successfully.

  • Error: File just captured could not be read and was deleted after capture.

    I was just recording an extremely important interview. I have recorded literally 10.000 recordings before with the same setup, every day, over a period of some three years now. I'm recorging DV PAL through SDI input on a AJA KONA LS card.
    It seemed to be going well last night while recording but as soon as I pressed 'Esc' to end the capture I got an error message saying (not exactly in these words) : Error: The file just captured could not be read.
    The file couldn't be found anywhere on the HD or in the trash. Usually when something goes wrong during capture, you can find the file in the capture folder named 'filename-av'. Not this time, I have never seen this error message before.
    The person being interviewed was absolutely furious and said he would not do the interview again. So I'm up against the wall here, and need to recover the files.
    What's more, the problem still persists. When I try capturing again, as soon as I stop the same error occurs. So now my FCP is not capturing anymore
    I tried running Data Rescue 3.1 and found the recording in deleted files, but:
    1. the recording is in several parts (not sure if it's all there, but probably most of it)
    2. Data Rescue 3 interprets the files as .dv files, as opposed to .mov files as all my other recorded material.
    3. THERE IS NO AUDIO IN THE .DV FILES, which pretty much nullifies the file recovery altogether.
    I tried googling this error, but it did not help much:
    1. None of the people were capturing the same way I do (most were capturing from tape, none straight through KONA SDI input)
    2. There was no solution to prevent the error.
    3. No solution to recover the files either.
    I must say, this experience really taught me the essence of Murphy's law: 'Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong at the worst possible moment'
    Any suggestions as to the reasons for this?
    Any suggestions as to how the files can be recovered?

    Good news!
    I beleive I have found the cause and solution.   At least now I am able to reproduce the problem at will and therefore, hopefully prevent it.
    I discovered that there is nothing wrong with my AJA KONA setup, as I was able to capture with both QuickTime movie capture and Adobe Premier just fine.  But every time I try capturing in FCP I get unreadable capture files (since 2 days ago).
    Trying all possible capture settings, capture presets or easy setups did nothing.  (although capturing thru Firewire still works every time).
    I was about to give up when I noticed that where I usually have my video scopes window running, for convenience sake, under it the Voiceover utility was running.
    So here is the deal:  Usually when you try and capture with the Voiceover utility running, you can't. FCP wont allow you to capture, it will return an error message saying: 'Log and capture can not be opened while Voice Over is running. Please close Voice Over and try again.'  As it turns out, this warning is probably for a good reason.
    BUT...
    If you shut down FCP with Voice Over running and start it up again THEN you CAN run Log and Capture at the same time... everything looks OK, until you stop the recordin, then you get an error message saying your recording is screwed.
    I tried this over and over again,  every time it behaves the same way.  Shutting down with VO util>starting up again>recordings get screwed  .. close VO utility>back to normal operation.
    I'm not sure if it was the VO utility the last time this happened (few weeks back), but it might very well be.  I might not have noticed that the VO utility was running as it was hidden behind the videoscopes and there are no warnings when running Log and Capture if you start up FCP with VO utility still running.
    My educated guess to what is going on is that the VO utility is taking up priority over the sound inputs and by doing so making the audio of the capture unreadable.  This theory is supported by the fact that when my data recovering experts found the recordings on the HD, there was no audio on the files, but the video was intact.
    The only reason setting up the AJA drivers helped in the past was probably because that flushed the FCP settings and in doing so closed the VO utility window. How very ironic
    Hope this helps someone out there. And I hope Apple find a way to prevent this from happening.
    cheers!

    If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
    There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

  • This is an error from my HP scanner. How can I fix the problem? An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.

    I recently uploaded the Maverick operating system. I wanted to scan some things on my HP Printer/Scanner and could not . This is the error message I received: An  error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to.   Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only. I am a novice with the computer and have no one to help. I hope someone knows an easy fix.
    Thank you

    This worked for me:
    "Although it is not a 'fix' for the HP issue, I did find a workaround that helped me. In the Preferences Panel in MacOS X you can pull up the Printer/Scanner preferences and scan directly from OS X. I'd not known of this prior to posting here and it worked like a charm."
    "Of course, HP should still update their software, but it's good to know that Apple has it covered for them."

  • I keep getting the error "zotero could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file". Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    After downloading Zotero (a plug in that is in theory custom-designed for firefox), I get an error message that says "zotero could not be installed because firefox could not modify the needed file". That's all the detail I have.

    You get this error if you install an extension that needs to be unpacked in order to work properly, but this isn't happening. The default is to copy the file to the extensions folder and rename the file part to the ID of the extension.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
    You can try to set the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref(s) on the <b>about:config</b> page to true.
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file if present.

    The error message you are getting sounds like you have jailbroken your iPhone or have updated to iPhone OS 4.0 Beta.
    Eitherway, I would follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 for a possible solution as these steps may not work.

    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
