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.

Can I delete the my music file on my computer

I have over 11K songs on my i tunes and almost 30k songs on my music. It's taking up too much room on my computer. Can I delete the my music files just have the I tunes, or delete the my music file and then drag the music from I tunes and put it in the my music.
I sure there are a lot of doubles in the my music file.
I also have an external hard drive.
Can you please help me.
Thank you so much.

Yes... With iTunes closed move the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> to the top of the external drive, e.g. as X:\iTunes where X:\ is the drive letter, then click the icon that starts iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key and keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose then browse to and open the file X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl - your library should show exactly as before. Double check that the media folder under Edit > Preferences > Advanced now reads X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. (I'm assuming here that your library won't be old enough for the media folder to have been called iTunes Music as it was back on iTunes 8.) Once you've checked that use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files in case the library is connected to any files stored outside of the media folder. This brings in copies of those files.
If you think there is media in <User's Music> that was not previously connected to the iTunes library you can move this into X:\iTunes\Automatically Add to iTunes otherwise you can discard files that you know to be duplicates.
As for duplicates already within the library, or created by moving the remnants of <User's Music> into Automatically Add to iTunes, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls. (Such as lost playlist membership!)
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

To save room on my hard drive, once (fcp1).dv files have been created, can I delete the original .dv files?

I've got a lot of what seems to be redundant media files on my hard drive, but I'm not sure how necessary all these files really are. To save room, once (fcp1).dv files have been created, can I delete the original .dv files?

This is FCP X related. I haven't used Final Cut Studio. Regardless, for some reason I have many clips twice. The only difference is in the name, not in the kind or size of the clip. For instance, I've got a "clip-2008 09:25:11.dv" and a "clip-2008 09:25:11(fcp1).dv".
I don't know how that clip was created, but all my clips have been duplicated that way. Now it may be that I ingested them in iMovie and then used those clips in FCP X - or perhaps when FCP X says this new version "needs to convert your clips". But the point is that half my media space is taken up by these duplicate files, and I would like to remove one or the other of those duplicates.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Storage full on MacBook Pro, what is in 'Other'? Can we delete the trash?

The storage on my MacBook Pro is almost full. We noticed that there is 143GB in the 'other' category. Any ideas what might be taking up all that storage in 'other'? Also, our trash contains 58GB. Is it okay to permanently delete the trash? We noticed there are a lot of iTunes related items in the trash.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I can't delete the .thumb.db file from a client computer

In my LAN I have a main computer, the server, that shares a folder. Other users of the LAN can access to the foler and copy, modify and delete files. However, many times when the user try to delete a folder get an error that says that the file thumb
can't be delete because the file explorer has opened the file. That's is not true.
The user has the needed permissions to delete the files, but for some reason he can't.
I know that one solution is to show icons instead of miniature in the file explorer, but it is not a solution in this case, because the user uses many photos and it's easier to see the miniatures instead of the icons.
How can I solve the problem and delete this file? Any easy and permanent solution? because this occurs in many folders and the user don't have a hugh knowledgement of windows.
Thank so much.

Hi,
We can disable the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files via Group policy to fix this issue:
1.Run gpedit.msc
2.Navigate to:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer
3.Set “Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files” to Enable.
4.You may need to log off or force group policy to update before this takes effect, I am not sure.
To force group policy to update, run gpupdate /force
Now you will need to clean the thumbs.db files that are already created. To do this we are gonna use the disk cleanup tool.
Press again Windows key + R to start run and write there cleanmgr then Enter。
This will start the Disk cleanup tool. Select the drive you want to clean , if you have more drives you gonna have to repeat this for each drive.
Disk cleanup tool will calculate for a bit what files can be deleted and then the following window will appear.
Make sure the Thumbnails is checked and press OK . That is it. Now you can delete those folders you want to go away.

How can I Delete the error podcast file in my iPhone?

I've tried to download some podcast content from iTunes. But I've failed to download these files. In the iTunes, there is another same contents that has a little different name of file. That files were good, so I've downloaded successfully. After downloading, I've founded two pocast categories in the list of video app. I could not play some files. So I wanted to delete these files from my iPhone. But I can't. I know how to delete the file but that way is not working. Could you let me know how can I delete these files?

Yes, i did. But that was not working. Normally that way is good, in my case that is not possible.

How can I delete the update installation files? Or which files are useless and safe to delete?

ThinkVantage System Update application will find the appropriate updates, download them and install them. This is convenient. But when it finishes the updates, it will not clean the installation files it has downloaded, which I think are not useful any more since the update installation is completed, right?
I think the update appliction stores the downloaded files in the folder: C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ , this folder of mine is over 1.32GB big now. But I just don't know which files and subfolders in it are safe to delete.
Or rather, the preload system occupies a large space on the disk. Which files are no longer used and safe to delete?
Would any experts help with this? Thank you very much!
Norm

I've been experimenting. Now I figure it out. Automatic System Update downloads and stores files in C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ Sessions\, and in Sessions' subfolders, all files are not used once update is completed except those ending with .xml. Thus those unnacessary files are safe to delete.
This is what I find out so far.
Continuing to experiment.

Can I delete the actual .pkg files after they've been installed?

Hi,
My hard drive is totally full and I'm going through deleting everything thats accumulated over the years. I've found the packages/.pkg files that get downloaded automatically taking up 2Gb of space and I would really like to get rid of them. I've got the receipts folder, but the actual downloaded files are all still there. Can I delete them without ruining my computer?
Thanks,

How can I delete the time machine files?

I'm really struggling to get a completed backup on my macbookpro (500GB HD). I'm guessing that because the backup file is 350GB+ and things appear to be timing out and connections being lost before the backup completes. So I'd like to purge out the TM files so that the backup is only backing up the data files (50-60GB), which it should do without any issues.
Is there a doc or guidelines on how to do this?

Hello,
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?
http://Pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Can't imaging something not being covered there.

Can not download any extra system voice.

I can not download any other system voice to my MacBook Pro.
The error message is "The voice "Jill" can’t be installed now because you are not connected to the Internet.". Anyway, the internet connection do really work correctly on my Mac.

Just down the page I found this maybe try what they say:

File Data Source: does not support any other host except LOCALHOST?

I am using US 1.0.3.
This exercpt is from the OTN iLearn Subscribed course titled "Oracle9i UltraSearch New Features" on operating system file access:
"The file protocol is used only for the machine that launches the crawler. You can not specify any other host for this kind of URL, except LOCALHOST."
Does it mean that US 1.0.3 can not be used to search other file servers on the network? For example, we have US 1.0.3 installed on a server S1 which is on a network with other servers (e.g. S2). I want to use US to search files in the folder myDir on server S2. So I tried to create a file data source with this URL:
file://\\s2\myDir\
But I got this error:
Invalid file protocol URL: file//\\s2\myDir\
Hostname of the file URL "file://\\s2\myDir\ is not "localhost".
My question:
(1) Can US 1.0.3 search files on a different server than the one US is running on?
(2) If so, how to specify the URL using the above example for it to work?
(3) If not, how about the newer version of US, 9.2 or 9.02? Can they be used to search files on other network servers/drives?
(4) If no to question (3), is there any plan to support this in the future version of US?
My comment: Not able to search other servers really limits the userfulness of US. I really hope Oracle will consider adding this capability.
Thanks!

More on my previous questions:
Since I posted my previous question, I have read on the 1.0.3 online help that we can define remote crawlers to crawl "on a remote machine other than the Oracle Ultra Search database". So I assume this is how to make US to search on other servers. In the online documentation it also includes the following paragraph on "Remote Crawler Profiles Page":
"Use this page to view and edit remote crawler profiles. A remote crawler profile consists of all parameters needed to run the Ultra Search crawler on a remote machine other than the Oracle Ultra Search database. A remote crawler profile is identified by the hostname. The profile includes the cache, log, and mail directories that the remote crawler shares with the database machine. "
The Remote Crawler Profiles Page, however, displays only remote crawlers already defined and the page seems to be used just for editing the porfiles of these defined remote crawlers.
My questions:
(1) How do I create the remote crawlers and defines the profiles in the first place?
(2) Where can I find more documentation on remote crawlers?
(3) Once the remote crawlers are set up, how do I specify the file URLs for each remote crawler?
(4) With US9.02 or 9.2, does remote crawler work the same as in 1.0.3, or are there any enhancements?
Thanks!
