Can't delete CITIES folder on E71

I have recently upgraded my firmware on an E71 (Orange UK) I can download maps via the wifi as I need them, but am having unknown errors when I try to load maps via OVI Suite - again latest version . There is plenty of space on my memory card. The recommended course of action is to delete the CITIES folder and the qf file. The latter is fine, but with 'CITIES' I get messages like 'the folder is not empty'. Folders that seem empty are said not to be, and folders the appear to be there and empty 'can't be found'. At present I have some of the contents of the cities folder deleted but not all of it. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks for the response. If you mean by that delete the CITIES file in the phone using menu/office/file manager - I tried that. But still got error messages and the CITIES file refused to delete.
If you mean refortmat the whole memory card, with respect, forget it. I've had enough trouble restoring the functionality I had on the phone before the upgrade.
In the end, after a Google search mainly aimed at finding out if there was anything on the Nokia support website I found this (at your own risk) solution: "Direct download for Ovi Maps 3.0 without using Map Loader" http://bit.ly/b0aOCw. You use the mass storage option to link to the computer as opposed to PCSuite.
The latest version of Ovi doesn't like it, but on the phone it works. I downloaded the voice direct to the phone using wifi and settings/navigation/drive_guidance etc, but unpacked the maps file on the PC and simply dragged the file across.
As I say, it's at your own risk and ymmv but I just plotted a cross country route, saved it, and synchronised it with Ovi Maps on the web where it renders perfectly, so something is working, and I have to say, once it is up and running it is a superb application which I often use in preference to in-car navigation.

  • How can I delete cities from my weather app?

    How can I delete cities from my weather app?

    1. After launching the weather app in iOS 7, click on the list view icon in the bottom right connerto bring up the city list view.
    2. Then, select the city you want to delete.
    3. Next, swipe left on the selection,  then click on the delete button that appears.
    same steps have been explained in detail with screen shots in this article ..... http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-delete-a-city-in-weather-app-in-ios-7/

  • IPhone default weather app : I can't delete cities.

    iPhone default weather app : I can't delete cities.
    I'm using iPhone 4S with latest updates of iOS.
    In the default weahter app, I added several cities (Detroit, Seoul, Shanghai, etc) for the weather conditions but recently, I changed my mind that I need only the weather in my local city wherever I am.
    So I decided to delete the cities I already registered, but checking after several hours after delete, the cities I deleted were shown up again automatically, I don't know why.
    This is very annoying and this kind of weather app should work flawlessly because it's very simple.
    I don't see iCloud backup this cities in the weather app, so I don't think this is synced, and if I delete cities, that is locally affected for my iPhone only, not other iPhone or iPad I have.
    One potential problem I think is.. I found that the default weather app uses yahoo's weather service. When I clicked the trademark on the app, it directed me to Yahoo Korea site (yes, I live in South Korea), but Yahoo Korea's service discontinued 12/31/2012. Maybe, this is the issue, Yahoo Korea's service discontinue is causing this issue?

    @LexSchellings I appreciate your advice on how to delete a city.  However if you read the thread that is not the problem.  We all know how to delete cities.  In fact most days I go into the weather app and delete cities I don't want.  The next day I come back and they have re-appeared.  This happens on my iphone (my Apple ID) but if I borrow my wife's iphone and her Apple ID (both phones are on IOS7) I can remove cities from her weather app
    This proves to me
    * That I know how to delete cities
    * That my finger is not the problem since it seems to be compatible with iPhones in a pink case
    * That there is a bug in the weather app [shock!]
    This has been written about across a number of threads in Apple communities over IOS6 and IOS7.  Apple just ignore us.  I used to be a developer and the intermittent, doesn't happen all the time bugs are really irritating.  The best strategy as a development team is to find a device that does not cause the problem, "prove" it is fixed and move on.  That seems the be the current Apple strategy.
    My real guess is that somewhere there is a record of the cities I want to see (perhaps created on an old phone or an old iPOD touch that shares the same apple ID) - when I delete a city, it stays away for a while but then my local app refers to this reference list and reinstates cities - not sure if that makes sense. (BTW I have gone back to my current iPod and tried deleting cities there but that doesn't help)

  • Can't find cities-folder anymore???

    One thing has been bugging me lately, namely I can't locate the cities folder anymore when I browse the memory card with PC Suite FileManager. Has it changed its place or what has happened? I don't see it on phone internal memory either. I have downloaded the maps for the whole world, and several voice files. Earlier I could always see the cities folder, not anymore.
    Nokia E66 (actually two), one has OVI Maps 3.01 while the other has 3.03. I don't think I've seen cities folder in either, but right now I can check it only with OVI Maps 3.01. The qf file can be found in the root, though. The memory card in both is Nokia's MU-44 16Gb memory card.
    On the other hand, PC Suite Map Loader, as well as OVI Map Loader, seem to detect there are maps in the phone, and they also let me delete the maps from there.
    OVI Maps (3.01 and 3.03) is working in both phones, also in offline mode. The only exceptional thing I can think of is that I have downloaded the maps to both phones with PC Suite (Map Loader), not OVI Suite. This is simply because with OVI Suite map loader there always seem to be connection problems with downloading. But like said, OVI Suite also detects the maps on the phone.
    This wouldn't matter otherwise, but when I decide to re-download some maps, I'd rather delete the cities folder completely and the qf file manually, than trusting Map Loaders slower "delete all maps" function.
    Solved!

    try to enable seeing hidden files and system files on your PC as you check the card via mass storage mode.
    Hidden files and system files were already enabled (checked it yesterday), but the mass storage mode didn't occur to me. Earlier I could see the cities folder in PC Suite mode, I think, just like I can now see all the other folders and files in the phone ok.
    As my USB cable is at home now, any idea how to enable Mass Storage Mode when using Bluetooth? If I connect with USB, the phone asks in which mode I want to connect, but with Bluetooth it does not ask it.
    Do you use OVI Suite or PC Suite to download offline maps to OVI Maps 3.01/3.03? Does it matter? At least the user interface is different in both applications, so apparently they don't use the same Map Loader program?

  • I can't delete a more than 10 bookmarks at a time, I can't delete bookmarks folder

    Firefox 25, Mac 10.8
    If I try to delete more than 10 bookmarks at a time or a folder with bookmarks in it, FF hangs, then says there's a script that isn't running properly & do I want to continue or stop the script - I've tried continuing but it just hangs again, and I've tried stopping the script but it still hangs..
    I've restarted FF, turned off Sync, turned on Sync.
    I tried exporting my bookmarks to html, to edit them in a file then re-import them, but the file was incomplete - it did not contain all the folder in My Bookmarks.
    Deleting bookmarks has been a pain ever since Sync was introduced, and Firefox doesn't have an official iOS app and the 3rd party ones don't work consistently, so I don't get much use from sync

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in stating my problem.
    I understand how to delete both bookmarks and folders containing bookmarks according to the instructions, and have done so easily in the past.
    But, since update to FF25 I haven't been able to delete a folder with bookmarks in it or more than 10-12 bookmarks at a time.
    I resolved the issue by quitting FF, importing my bookmarks into Chrome, using Chrome's import as FF also was not exporting a complete bookmark list. I cleared out some duplicates in Chrome, exported bookmarks from Chrome to an html file, removed the places sqlite file from my profile, deleted all FF bookmarks, and imported the bookmarks html file into FF, which created a new & functional places sqlite file with the same set of bookmarks as at the beginning. I can only think the places file was corrupted somehow during the update as that was the only file I had to delete to fix the issue - I can now move & delete folders with hundreds of bookmarks in them and delete as many bookmarks as needed at one time.
    "There is no way to select more than one item at a time in the right pane in the mac environnement. " (sic)
    I think you mean there is no way to delete more than 1 item at a time in the LEFT panel, the list of folders, not in the right panel, the list of bookmarks and the contents (bookmarks) of subfolders.

  • Can't Delete Empty Folder in Deleted Items

    Running Outlook 2013 on a Windows 8.1 machine. Exchange 2010 on SBS 2011 platform.
    I have an empty folder within the deleted items folder. I can manually delete all messages within the deleted items but I cannot get that empty sub folder deleted. My permissions are set to "owner". I'm getting a message that says, "outlook
    is synchronizing local changes made to items in this folder. You cannot remove this folder until the synchronization with the server is complete". I've done shift+F9 in both the deleted items and the sub folder and that hasn't helped.
    Please advise.

    Hello,
    I recommend you check if owa has the issue. If the issue doesn't occur on owa, the issue may be related to outlook.

  • Can't delete Apple folder in Common Files

    I went to the Genius Bar today.  They were not able to solve my problem but they did a full restart of my iPod and told me to reinstall iTunes on my home computer.
    Before reinstalling iTunes, I followed Apple's instructions for deleting all Apple software on my computer (Windows 7).  However, I have been unable to delete the Apple folder in the Common Files folder.
    I searched for hours online for solutions to deleting this file.  It looks like several people have had this problem and several suggestions have been made  but nothing has worked for me. 
    Among the things I have tried are stopping and restarting explorer.exe.  I also downloaded Byetunes but it looks like I can only delete one file at a time and there must be hundreds of files in this folder.  This is madness.
    I would deeply appreciate as complete a list as possible of ways to delete this file. 
    It should not be this hard to find out how to delete a file!
    Thank you.

    Followed the procedures as layed out in Apple Support online, but now I still can't delete the "Apple" folder in "Common Files" (during the 'verifying you've actually deleted iTunes' step...).
    Do you have the iCloud control panel currently installed? If so, try uninstalling that. Can you do the deletion now?

    how can I delete folders from photoshop elements 12. the option to delete is grayed out an I don't know what the alternative options are

    Got it fixed!  The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
    Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed?  To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
    Then change the Open With to iPhoto application! 
    Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto!  WALLA it worked!

  • Can not delete corrupted folder

    Hi there,
    I'm using SharePoint Foundation 2010 and am having problem with one of the site collections.
    It's a simple 'Team site'. The problem is that I can not delete the certain folder, which seems to be corrupted.
    Symptoms:
    if I try to delete it I receive error "Access Denied", even though I use farm admin account.
    if I try to 'Manage permissions', I receive error "Can not complete this action".
    if I try to 'Edit Properties' (rename library) I receive error "Access Denied".
    'View Properties' works good.
    Looking in WebDav, the folder doesn't exist.
    if I try to create a new folder with the same name within the same root library, I receive error that folder already exists.
    Steps taken:
    1. the entire site collection was backed up (using Backup-SPSite) and restored (Restore-SPSite) to the newly-created site collection within another Web App
    and content database - the corrupted folder was carried over and the issue remained the same.
    2. tried to use .NET methods to delete this folder but received error:
    $rabbit = Get-SPWeb "https://site1.sharepoint.local/BD"
    $damaged_folder = $rabbit.GetFolder("Services/Technical Team/Mit")
    attempted to delete:
    PS C:\Windows\system32> $damaged_folder.Delete()
    Exception calling "Delete" with "0" argument(s): "Cannot remove file "Mit". Error Code: 16389."
    attempted to move to Recycle Bin:
    PS C:\Windows\system32> $damaged_folder.Recycle()
    Exception calling "Recycle" with "0" argument(s): "Cannot remove file "Mit". Error Code: 16389."
    Looking at the properties of $damaged_folder, I've noticed that property 'EffectiveRawPermissions' was blank, while for the normal folder it was set to 'FullMask'
    I've tried to update it but received an error:
    PS C:\Windows\system32> $damaged_folder.EffectiveRawPermissions = "FullMask"
    "EffectiveRawPermissions" is a ReadOnly property.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I am facing the same
    problem.
    I tried to delete the folder with a powershell command and with a console application. The result is :
    Exception calling "Delete" with "0" argument(s): "Cannot remove file "Folder". Error Code: 16389."
    At line:1 char:77
    + [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurity]::RunWithElevatedPrivileges({$folder.Delete<<<< ()})
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
    The last possibility it's maybe to remove lines on the database!
    Does anyone has triedthis solution?
    Thanks in adavance.

  • Can't delete application folder?

    To Whom It May Concern,
    Last night, I installed a software just to try it out, but it was having problems running under 10.2.8, so I decided to uninstall it and load the beta instead. I loaded the beta version, but it was not performing well either. I decided to delete the folder, but I couldn't. It said, "This operation could not be completed because this item is owned by root." Please help! The computer I'm using is an iMace flat panel, superdrive, 512Mb, G4 800Mhz, 60 Gig drive. Also, I can't seem to verify, or repair permissions using Disk Utility.
    Sincerely,
    Arnold Pena

    Hello Arnold,
    Of course we are speaking here of the software you just tried, not the whole "Applications" folder:
    Force-deleting files or folders that refuse to let you do it as usual, can be done using such utility as TinkerTool System for example (go to section Files > Force Delete).
    The best is to get rid of every hidden files it could have left on your hard drive in some cases. Use the Finder's Find (⌘F) feature to find them (search for visible AND invisible files) and drag them to the Trash, directly from the Search Results window.
    If you use Tiger, Find (⌘F) won't find them all: you'll have to use EasyFind.
    Delete only the files that really belong to your trial software: be careful as sometimes names are close, but may belong to your system...
    (It would be easier to simply name which software was it that refused to be deleted?)
    Good luck!

  • Can you delete "Originals" folder after importing photos from iPhoto to LR3?

    Hello,
    I just imported all my photos from iPhoto to LR3 by making an Alias folder (copy) of my iPhoto Originals folder. Shortly after that I received a message that my Start-up disk is nearly full, which I presume is because I duplicated my iPhoto library. I want to free up my storage and curious if it's okay to delete my iPhoto Originals folder. Or will that delete or cause problems with the Alias folder that LR3 is reading?
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    Cheers
    Bill

    Bill,
    I wouldn't do anything rash, if I were you. "Alias" sounds like not a real copy, but some kind of virtual copy, with just pointers to the originals. In that case, deleting the originals will leave you without any images. Try renaming one of the images in the folder you want to delete. If that image shows up in Lightroom with a "?" on its thumbnail, then you most definitely don't want to delete that folder.

  • Can I delete visualvm folder in Library?

      I found this folder called "visualvm" in my library, but I wasn't sure if I should delete the folder or not in case it has system files in it. So does anyone know?
    it's at the very bottom on the finder screenshot.

    I run the latest fat cat (10.7.3) with Java and all the latest patches. Also have VirtualBox and Fusion. No "visualvm" to be found anywhere in the computer, starting with my ~/Library.
    Does it have anything inside? Beware, may have invisible items. Open Terminal and type the following commands to be sure nothing hides in there (substitute your local spelling for "Library" between the slashes):
    cd ~/Library/visualvmls -la
    Post back if anything shows up. Note that the . and  ..  directories are normal and should be there.

  • Can't delete a folder

    A certain folder on my Mac has been in the trash for a while (along with a bunch of other files)... when I came to empty the trash it wouldn't. So I had to manually empty the trash by rm-ing in the Terminal until I found the folder that wouldn't delete.
    What's super weird is I get no error messages (nothing in the Console either!) it just hangs. In Terminal: If I try to cd into that folder - hang. rm -r in the parent folder - hang. (Secure) Empty Trash - hang.
    If I try to do much in the Finder with this folder, Finder starts to go AWOL and I have to Relaunch. Sometimes even a Relaunch doesn't work - Finder ust comes back "Application Not Responding" - so then I have to reboot.
    I can live with the file not being deleted, but I'm worried that it's an indicator of bigger problems.
    So what can I do to find out what's causing the problem? Has anyone else experienced this?
    I'm on Lion 10.7.1

    Similar problem with Finder on my iMac only, not either of my MacBooks. All are running 10.7.1.
    I haven't been able to determine exactly what triggers the Finder's 'Application not responding' message but it seems to be related to copying/moving folders. A relaunch does not work. Finder disappears altogether. Reboot is necessary.
    The problem appeared only after updating to 10.7.1.
