Cannot delete DEFAULT.BMP "file" from Desktop

A symbol labeled DEFAULT.BMP mysteriously appeared on my desktop.
When I try to trash it, I get a message saying it can't be moved to the Trash because it cannot be deleted. I tried command-i to see what it was, and if I could change its status there, but command-i didn't produce anything. As far as I can tell, it's a label, but nothing attached to it.
I'd like to get if off my desktop. Any suggestions

Cannot delete locked .INF file from desktop

Okay,
I go to a school where everyone can place everything into one server.
Someone put an autorun.inf virus in all the folders, including mine.
I ended up having the virus on my flashdrive, but wasn't able to delete it through a PC.
A friend said that fellow classmates have been able to delete it through Macs, so I gave it a shot. (This virus doesn't affect Macs, by the way.)
I was able to remove it from my flashdrive, but I cannot remove it from my desktop.
It's just sitting there, locked.
I can't find a way to unlock it, I've tried control+click, right click+delete...
Is there a way to remove it?

Another way that usually works. Depress the Option key when you empty Trash.

Delete a .csv file from desktop system

Hi All,
My requirement is to read the .csv file from the desktop system having the shared folder and delete the file after read successfully.
Here I can read the .csv file from the location using the function RFC_REMOTE_FILE and updated the content into internal table.
But I cant delete the file from the presentation server ( Desktop system).
Can anyone tell me how to delete the .csv file from the desktop system on different location.
Note:
I followed this link to read file:

Hi Rob,
Thanks. I solved this problem myself.
The solution to delete the file from remote system is
concatenate 'DEL' i_filename i_dirname into v_bkfile separated by space .
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_EXEC'
destination c_dest
exporting
    command               = v_bkfile
exceptions
    system_failure        = 1 MESSAGE v_ermsg
    communication_failure = 2 MESSAGE v_ermsg.

Cannot delete Time Machine file from external hard drive

Hello,
I'd like to delete my original Time machine file from an external hard drive ( Lacie mini ). I move the file into the trash bin and it constantly "deletes". At one time I left it deleting overnight and the file still wasn't trashed.
I am going to hook up Time Machine to a different, dedicated external hard drive, but I'd like to gain space on the drive that Time Machine is currently on.
I currently have Time Machine turned off ( I do have everything backed up with my home folder on another external HD ). Should Time Machine be turned on for me to trash the file? Is there a better way to delete the file?
Much thanks in advance.

But what if a person doesn't want to erase the TM drive? My MacPro came with tiger installed, but since tiger-intel-retail discs don't exist, my copy of tiger is what i have. I was all manner of foolish directing TM to that drive, but damage is done. What can someone in my position do?

Cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista

Hi All,
I cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista. Explorer
crashes. It is a Captivate 2 file.
I have tried (with no luck):
- logging in as a different user and deleting the file.
- running explorer as an Administrator
- uninstalling Captivate.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Raef

Hi Raef,
That is a strange issue. Here are a couple more ideas you
could try:
- Have you tried renaming the file (including suffix)?
- Have you rebooted?
- Do you get any error messages when trying to delete, such
as "Acess Denied"?
- Is your machine networked? Is it possible someone else has
the file open?
- Can the file be moved to another location or put in a
folder (and then deleted)?
- Have you tried using the Command Prompt / DOS mode to
delete the file?
It sounds like it could be a Vista issue so I would look at
the Microsoft Vista forums too. Sorry I do not have an exact
answer.
IHTH,
Aaron

Re: Satellite L450D Cannot delete file from desktop

Hi all, I was veiwing some photos on yahoo email via firefox version 3 6 3 sent by my sister in Australia, when this file appeared on my desktop which I cannot delete.
The file is called Pez & Lisa (after my sister and brother in laws photograph) when i try to delete it I get the message "COULD NOT FIND THIS ITEM, THIS IS NO LONGER LOCATED IN C/USERS/PAUL/DESKTOP VERIFY THE ITEMS LOCATION AND TRY AGAIN"
The file when I right click on proprties reads the file is 0 bytes size.
It cannot be deleted in safe mode or moved or renamed or anything!
Any ideas??

Hi Guys, thanks for your replies, however, there is nothing in startup or task manager to delete!
I have tried downloading unlocker, but it doesnt do anything when I click on it!! Maybe it doesnt work with Windows 7.
I suppose I can leave it alone as its not doing anything! its not worth a reformat just do get rid of an icon.
Ho Hum.

Cannot delete .band files from desktop

I was working on a file in GarageBand, I saved the .band file on my desktop, but after I quit GarageBand without saving the work, the .band file went a little weird. I tried dragging it to the trash and cmd-delete it but the message came up saying "The item “Recording Final.band” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted." Later I launched GarageBand again, and when I tried to drag the weird .band file from desktop to the GarageBand icon on my dock, the dock appears to crash, my wallpaper went gray for a second and then the dock came back up. Also when I select the file and hit space bar to do a quick look it shows up saying No Items Selected. I like to keep my desktop tidy don't want these files here blocking the way. Anyone knows the solution to the problem?

The first thing I'd do is just restart your system. You might find the file has disappeared. If not, try deleting it again. If you get the same error msg, do as follows.
Enable 'show path bar' in Finder > View. Highlight the problem file and make a note of the path.
Open Terminal and use the
rm <path to file>
command to remove it (remove the angled brackets). If you want to be on the safe side, use the command
cd <parent directory of file>
to move into the correct folder first.
Example
Suppose the path is:
Lion > Music > Garageband > problemfile.band
In Terminal, you'd type
cd ~/Music/Garageband
Then type
ls -l
Assuming you see 'problemfile.band' in the list, type
rm problemfile.band
If you get an error, try
sudo rm problemfile.band
and enter your admin password (which will be invisible when you type it).
If you still get an error msg, post back here, stating the error msg.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
Which is best ?

DrewPowell wrote:

It does both at the same time.
When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
Then there are no "extra" files around.

Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down. The result should be a display showing a revolving globe. By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX. Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
A solid Internet connection will be required.

Deleting default trace file in java

Hello all,
Whats the best way to automatically delete default trace file in java instance? I want to delete these files lets say every week or 2 wkkds,Is there any type of configuration that can be done through NWA or OS...? or do i have to write some scripts? Please advice.

Perfect.
When set to 10, 0 -->9 are cyclic files. Regarding archiving, yes this is possible. Apart from defaulttrace files you can also archive other java log files (system, network,security etc). The configuration procedure is explained :-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/2edfd5bd3e0d4a81b90325fe195a70/frameset.htm
Once the 10th trace file(i.e.defaultrace9) is full, all the trace files (from defaulttrace0-defaultrace9) are zipped to a single file. The file compression ratio is extremely good.
Unfortunately there is no automated mechanism to clear off the archived files. This needs manual intervention(regular cleanup, script etc).
The archived log files may also be viewed for analysis from NWA.
While estimating the size for each defaulttrace consider three factors i) System load ii) Number of defaulttrace files.
iii) Retention days(without archiving)
Ex: System load as observed :
Say the trace file size is 10MB and 6 trace files get written in 4 hours of peak time and 1 trace files is written for 4 hours during non-peak time .Assuming 8 hours of peak business hours and rest all non-working hours.
No of files generated is 62 + 14 = 16 files of 10 MB each are generated per week day
If the defaulttrace file count is set to 16, you can retain one days' logs . Say you wish to retain the same with less number of files (i.e. 8) you would have to increase the file size to 20 MB. Also will have to look at file system space availability.
CAUTION: For a file system occupancy estimate, you will have to also consider as to how many Server nodes are
configured as each node has its own log area !
For this you need to observe the pattern as to how many files are being written then estimate the size and count
cheers !
