Can't delete or move PDF
I am using Acrobate Pro version 9.5.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
Once I have created a PDF, I find I am unable to move or delete the file. If I reboot the machine, I can delete or move the file, but as soon as I open a PDF, the problem is back until I reboot again.
It appears others have had the same problem, but I don't see any solutions. Does anyone have any suggestions or workarounds?
TIA,
Joe Parsons
Hello,
This may not be directly related, but I just (March 2015) ran into a problem I have not seen before and we move LOTS of PDF files across all kinds of networks and network locations.
We have seen a related behavior.
If the PDF worked BEFORE the MOVE, COPY, or RENAME, it should work AFTER the move, copy, or rename.
However, we have seen where if AFTER the MOVE that you cannot OPEN the PDF with Adobe (or move or copy the file to a new location) that perhaps your NEW PDF File name and DATA PATH structure is not well under 255 characters.
For some reason either ADOBE or WINDOWS (XP for sure) has a problem with PDF File name and DATA PATH structures that near, equal to or are great than 255 characters.
Make sure AFTER (ideally BEFORE) you MOVE, COPY, or RENAME PDF Files, that your resulting PDF File name and DATA PATH structure is under 255 characters, otheriwse you will may not be able to MOVE COPY RENAME or OPEN the PDF's in the NEW location until after your PDF File Name and DATA PATH structure is under 255 characters in total length.

Can i delete a movie from my computer that i've previously purchased in itunes and then download again when I want to watch it? Seems like this would help me manage storage space.
Yes, provided the movie is still in the iTunes Store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer. -

Can't delete iTune Movies from my hard drive
Hi,
I wondered if anyone could help...
I maxed out my hard drive with iTune Movies and music, and have been trying to transfer to an external hard drive which is fine, but... I can't delete them from my laptop's hard drive (Vista on Sony Vaio). I don't have the same problems with the music at all, just the movies.
I'm running out of space, help!
Thanks
AOK, so that tells us it's the operating system permissions for your account.
In WE, go to the top-level music folder.
Right-click > Properties and go to the Security tab.
Give your windows userID *full control* and ownership of that music folder and make sure to apply those settings to all child/subfolders.
This web page has some Windows 7 screenshots - I think they look the same for Vista. -

I can not delete a movie off my Ipad.
After the recent update an old movie showed up in my videos. It will not allow me to edit and delete in videos. Also tried to remove and then sync but the movie doesnt show up when I sync it with Itunes. Its an old movie that I did a digital download years ago. I want the space now. Help
Hey Cmtlemos,
It sounds like this second part with the cloud may be what's happening:
Delete a video from iPad. Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection, then tap on the video thumbnail. If you don’t see the Edit button, look for on your video thumbnails—those videos haven’t been downloaded to iPad, so you can’t delete them.
To only show locally stored videos and not those in iCloud, you would follow these directions:
Go to Settings > Videos, where you can:
Choose to show only videos on iPad (toggle Show All Videos to off)
However if your concern is space, just know that it isn't taking up any space on your iPad, it is stored in the cloud - not locally.

I can't delete anything (movies or songs) from iTunes, after installing Lion
When I select a song or movie and go to edit at the top the delete choice is grayed out and I can't delete anything?
Try using the Delete key on the keyboard.
At least, thats what others are suggesting here -> Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted? -
Can't delete or move messages unless I quit and restart
Beginning yesterday I was unable to delete or move any messages in any of my 4 accounts. If I closed Tbird than restarted it I could delete and move messages in all accounts for 10 or 15 minutes. Thereafter delete again mysteriously failed to work. It worked again for about 10-15 minutes after closing and restarting. Rebooting the system and running a thorough virus scan did not fix the problem.
Latest version of Thunderbird. Win 7, several email accounts both imap and POP. Problem applies over all accounts both imap and POP. Problem is NOT a corrupted trash folder. Others have reported this problem and no one, as yet, has posted a fix.
The problem is clearly not in the user settings nor a corrupted folder because if it were it would fail all the time. The key is the fact that it works until some time factor disables Delete. Delete is disabled whether TBird is in use during the 15 minutes or not in use during that time.What does Mail/Window/Connection Doctor Show? If the server is red, select it and look at the Show Details box.

I need help deleting a movie on my ipad that says installed but never downloaded. if i try to download it i get a message that says " unable to download .please try again later" Any ideas??? BTW the movie downloaded onto my mac but not my ipad...
oh and this message is also on my iphone 5
now with the phone I do have some options that I dont see with my iPad 3. but I stil do not see a way to delete this dang conversation
I get the same message when I open it from my iphone 5..."there was a problem connecting to facebook" there isnt a problem though
if i swipe left I see standard Friends at top, below it listsclose friends, family, then a help center, account settings, privacy settings, log out, etc. I dug around there for a while but didnt see any option to delete messages.
if i swipe right I see the word Favorites at the top. above that is a search option. to the right is a weird little symbol kinda like a wheel with gears on it. if i click that it gives me the option of Turn off Chat or Cancel. I did both, it just greys out the friends list that appears. If I click a name, the previous conversation appears. nothing to delete from there, just contact info if I click the i symbol or back to news feed. -
Can not drag a pic from aperture onto desktop folder. was able to drag 7 but number 8 was a duplicate of 7. Can not delete any pics from desktop folder
This is a solution for duplicates

or use a specialized software, Duplifinder

Advanced user tips ... but first backup your iPhoto library
If you want to get rid of your original photo files and leave them in iPhoto, thus freeing up much hard drive space, you can use these commands in Terminal:
mkdir ~/.Trash/iPhoto-Originals
cd ~/"Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/"
find . -type f -exec mv "../Originals/{}" ~/.Trash/iPhoto-Originals/ \;
Type these commands carefully and it should work! -

How can I delete and move up instead of down?
When I delete an entry the next entry below the one I deleted appears. I would rather have the next entry above the one I deleted appear. This is because I start at the bottom of my undeleted entries and move up my list. How can I do this? Many Thanks, TM
I don't think you can.
