Can't delete old developer folder: dashcode.app and xcode.app running

I installed XCode 4.3.3 and accepted when it offered to delete the old version, XCode 4.2.1 I think.
The Developer folder was moved to trash but unfortunately I had the file compare tool runing at the time and that's perhaps why things have become messed up.
I shut down the file compare tool, but still when I tried to empty trash it reported that DashboardCleint.spp and xcode.app are running.
I can't find any way of stopping them, or even seeing them listed as running applications anywhere.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

OK, yes this worked but I thought in a unix based system like MacOS there would be an way without a restart.
Need to start getting into unix again.
Cheers.

    How can I delete the other user reviews from the apple app developed by me

    As a registered developer you have access to the registered developers discussions area and direct access to the appropriate Apple personnel in regards to such a question. Pretty sure app reviews can't be deleted, but this is far from the appropriate place to get an answer for this.

  • HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

    How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

    I have a similar problem.  The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
    I have a problem with both of these solutions!  The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either.  But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
    Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!

  • Can I delete old folders after updates?

    Can't believe it makes one iota of difference but am using WIN7.
    Is there any reason not to delete old folders in Lightroom and PS when I upgrade or install later versions.
    Example:  I have 5 folders of updates (plus 4.2)  in my Adobe folder for Lightroom starting with 3.4 up thru 4.1.
    Can I just delete everything except 4.2?
    I have PS CS6. Can I delete the CS5 folder?
    Thanks.

    Most folks leave older versions on their systems to avoid potential issues arising from uninstalling an older version after installing a new.
    Those who DO want to clean up uninstall the older software.  Are you saying you've done that but folders are still left behind?  In that case you'd be safe to remove anything explicitly identified as a version you've uninstalled.

  • HT204053 How can I delete old apple  IDs

    How can I delet old apple I'd so I only have one because it causes problems when downloading apps

    The content (music, videos, apps, games, etc) that is aquired with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. Apple does not transfer the content of one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. Unless you wish to abandon all of the content associated with an Apple ID and buy it again with another Apple ID, you should maintain the ID in order to redownload or update the content in the future.
    It is not a good idea to make numerious Apple IDs for this very reason.

  • How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes

  • I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app.

    Hi,
    I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app. I tried shutting the app down and opening it again, but it doesn't help. What should I do?
    Thanks

    I had this problem to but I figured it out. Basically the photos are there because your photos on your computer are synced into your phone differently, not sure how it works. But plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, click on your phone, go to photos and uncheck the "Sync Photos from:" Option at the top. A message should pop up asking whether you want to keep or remove the photos already on your phone. Click remove, and there you go

  • How can I delete old data in citadel

    How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

    Hi there,
    I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
    a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
    b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
    Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
    c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
    b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
    Hope this helps
    Roland
    PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

  • HT2905 Can I delete albums in folder on hard drive

    I am trying to clean up harddrive space on my laptop, all my albums are in a MP3 folder and Itunes folder. Can I delete the MP3 folder?

    To be on the safe side use File > Library > Consolidate Files, you would then be certain that iTunes is only using the copies inside the iTunes Media folder and that any others were safe to delete.
    It's always a good idea to have a backup, particularly before undertaking any major organizational activity in case something goes wrong.

  • Enabled FileVault - 24hrs later it's still "Deleting old Home folder"

    So last night I enabled FileVault and told it to securely erase the home folder. Now, I know it was big. I had probably around 90GB in my home folder. Had about that much available on the drive, too. It has been sitting on 'Deleting old Home Folder' since I got up this morning. I started the process about 24 hours ago. Could it really be taking this long, or has it hung? I have backups of everything, so it's not a big deal if I have to cancel it and rebuild my home folder. I just want to know how long I should wait before I throw in the towel.

    If you have a 90 GB home folder, it'll take forever. (And also be INCREDIBLY unreliable-do you really need every single file encrypted with U.S. Department of Defense level security?)
    I recommend you make individual encrypted disk images for the private files.
    Good luck!

  • FileVault: How long does "Deleting old Home folder" take?

    Hello, guys. I'm comparing FileVault and PGP WDE. I enabled FileVault on my MBP about 16 hours ago with about 30GB in my user folder, and it's been ""Deleting old Home folder" for at least 10 hours now.
    I've not been able to find any accounts of how long this is supposed to take. Has anyone actually waited 16+ hours and had the thing complete?
    I understand the pros and cons of using FileVault, but am wondering if the thing is supposed to work.

    I didn't have enough free space the first attempt, and FileVault warned me. I freed up some space and moved some of my personal files to an external drive, and it allowed me to continue, the second time around.
    This is my first FileVault attempt -- I'm really paranoid, and have two backups, just in case it fails!
    I just did a hard reset, and my machine booted up properly. Now, I'll see if it is working OK...

    I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my catalog?

    Thanks for the links, Limnos.
    If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
    Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
    username-->Music-->iTunes
    HD-->iTunes
    I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
    Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
    - I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
    - also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
    You say:
    /itunes/itunes media/ music
    but it is important to note what comes before all that.
    There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
    Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
    Does that give more clarity into my problem?
