Can't delete torrent file

I've got a set of torrent files that I am unable to delete. I drag them to the trash, empty it. and then in a few minutes they reappear in the original folder. I've installed all torrent apps, that I know of, and still they return.
Any ideas as to what I can do to permanently delete them?

I assume you mean you uninstalled all torrent apps. How did you do so? If you just dragged them to the trash, clearly one of them (at least) left something behind. You need to read the documentation for each of the torrent apps you had installed to see how each should be uninstalled.

How can I delete the files .DS_store in Mac OS Yosemite?

How can I delete the files .DS_store in Mac OS Yosemite?

The .DS_Store file is normal. It holds certain settings related to the folder it is found in. Removing these files is futile, as they will come back, as you have observed.
If you are seeing them on your Mac, that means you have changed settings so that your Mac is showing invisible files in the Finder. To reverse that, run the following command in the Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
This will hide them, and any other invisible files, from view.
If you are seeing them on a Windows machine, just ignore them. They're not doing any harm.
If you found a Terminal command that is supposed to stop them from being created, I would be extremely skeptical as to the wisdom of running it.

Can i delete ALL files in directory ?

i create a upload test using FileReference & PHP.
In this scenario user upload files to http server.
Now how can i delete all files in /files/uploads folder in AS3
AS3 Code:
req = new URLRequest();
req.url = ( stage.loaderInfo.parameters.f )? stage.loaderInfo.parameters.f : "http://www.website.com/test/upload.php";
uploadFile = new FileReference();
select_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, browse );
uploadFile.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, complete_func );
uploadFile.addEventListener( DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, show_message );
function browse( e:MouseEvent )
          filefilters = [new FileFilter('Images',"*.jpg;*.png;*.gif")];
          uploadFile.browse( filefilters );
function complete_func( e:Event )
          trace( 'complete !' );
function show_message(e:DataEvent)
if (e.data == 'ok')
          label_txt.text = 'The file has been uploaded.';
else if ( e.data == 'error')
          label_txt.text = 'The file could not be uploaded.';
PHP Code:
<?php
$uploads_dir = './files/uploads';
if( $_FILES['Filedata']['error'] == 0 ){
          if( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploads_dir.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] ) ){
                    echo 'ok';
                    exit();
echo 'error';
exit();
?>

You need call another PHP file
<?php
   $directory = './files/uploads';
   getDirectoryList ($directory);
   //This function find all the files in the directory
   function getDirectoryList ($directory)
     // create an array to hold directory list
     $results = array();
     // create a handler for the directory
     $handler = opendir($directory);
     // open directory and walk through the filenames
     while ($file = readdir($handler)) {
       // if file isn't this directory or its parent, add it to the results
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
    //$results[] = $file;
     // Delete Files
    $filename = $file;
unlink($filename); //this delete a file
     // tidy up: close the handler
     closedir($handler);
?>

I can't delete a file in the Content-Management

Hello,
I can't delete a file in the Content-Management, altough I have full control.
I get the following error message:
System error (com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException): null
Many thanks for the help.

Dear SAPMuffel ,
As far as we can see the error "com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException" is telling that the resource you are trying to delete could not be found, that is also to say, it might not exist any more.
So please let me know exactly how you can reproduc this issue?
and what kind of file it is? under what kind of KM repository?
Is there any other file under the same KM folder?
Also you can reproduce the issue and then check the lastest defaulttrace file under this folder:
../j2ee/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.*.trc
here you can find the detailed exception.
Best Regards,
Thunder

I can't delete raw files in bridge

I can't delete raw files in bridge anymore. I used to and it worked. Now if I click delete button, nothing happens.

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

Can i delete a file on my external disk?

I have a toshiba external hard disk. When i plug it into my macbook air, i can only see my documents and copy them to the macbook or copy files from macbook to hard disk. But i can't delete any file on my external disk. How can i can do it?

It sounds like you originally used this drive with a Windows PC. Drives formatted as Windows NTFS can be read by a Mac but not written to (files cannot be deleted). If you want to keep the files that are on the drive, you can use Paragon NTFS (it's about $20) to install a driver allowing your Mac to write to the drive and delete files. This will allow you to continue to use the drive with both Mac and PC.
Or, if you have copied off all the files you need, you can use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder to wipe and reformat the drive to Mac format. You will no longer be able to use the drive with a PC.

I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
If so,
When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.

Hallo! How can i delete my files wich are saved not on the C: drive?

Hallo! How can i delete my files wich are saved not on the C: drive?

I'm guessing there must be more to this question than you are stating.
But to answer the question you asked, if you want to delete files that are not on the C drive, select the files and then delete them (press the Delete key, and then Delete from Hard Disk or not, your choice)

How can I delete a file? At the moment I delete each pic and it takes ages! I tried select all and managed to delete all my 2300 photos!! I've got them back but I've also got back 980 which I had already deleted 1 by 1 over the past 6 months! Help!

Please help! How can I delete a file without deleting all my photos? I have just managed to delete all my more than 2000 photographs by choosing' Select all' and then delete. But I thought only 'all' the photographs in the file I had open would be selected! I have got them back, but I've also got back more than 800 others that I'd deleted SINGLY over the last 6 months! HELP!

Put a Photo in the iPhoto Trash.
iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash
This removes the photo from iPhoto and the Hard Disk (in every version of iPhoto except iPhoto11)
In iPhoto 11 the file goes to the System Trash, you need to empty that too.
