Cannot delete previous recipient from mail

I can select the previous recipients that I wish to delete, I then select "remove from list", the email address clears from the list, but if I exit from Mail, the reopen Mail, then examine the previous recipient list the deleted address is there again. Any thoughts?
PS I have also tried deleting the address when I create a new message and then select the address I wish to delete, click on the down arrow at the end of the address and select remove.

I had already looked at that, but unfortunately it was not the answer. Although on that same note in the Previous Recipients list some of the entries have a shaded out symbol beside them (left column) that looks like an address card. I was wondering if there is a plist file that I should try to delete, (I am not sure as to were I should look for it though)

How do I delete a 'Previous Recipient" from Mail ?

Like is says really, every time I type a name into Mail's 'To' field it lists old email addresses, these addresses are not in Address Book - where do I delete?
Ideally specific delete, not a total delete of all Previous Recipients.
Thanks,

Menu Window>Previous Recipients. In the window which opens, select a recipient and click 'Remove from list'.

HT1277 I cannot delete certain messages from mail. The message made 5 copies of the same message and now mail won't quit unless forced

Mark this discussion as a Question - this encourages people to answer for points and helps you track answers.

Next thing to try. Quit Mail, go to the Mail folder in your home Library (your Library may not be visible by default, but it's there; let us know if you have trouble finding it), and search in that folder for a file called Envelope Index. Delete that file and restart Mail; it will be forced to create a new one from scratch, which may clear up the problem.

Deleting Previous Recipients from List

I cannot delete unwanted addresses from my Previous Recipient List. None of the addresses show a "Last Used" date past 2008. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

Make sure there are no addresses in the Previous Recipients that you need, then quit Address Book and Mail and delete ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr

I cannot delete a file from the document folder. I can move it to the trash and then empty the trash, but when I go back to the documents folder it is still there.

Gay,
I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

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

Cannot delete old sessions from SM35 - Batch Input...

Cannot delete old sessions from SM35 - Batch Input...
We have an issue, we are trying to delete old batch input sessions via SM35 and no
matter how hard we try we cannot get rid of them. They are still in status "In Process" but they are status incorrect.
Those sessions have long finished and some are more than 5 years old.
We have tried running rsdbcreo and RSBDC_REORG but it only returns with
Temse Error, running SP12 does not list any inconsistencies. Basically we want all jobs in SM35 that ran this year only available in the SM35 queue, we have sessions that have run from year 2004 to 2008 we wish to
delete.
Anybody experience anything similar or have any advice, sorry this is an environment that i have inherited and wish to cleanup.
We have checked the following notes 706478,76422,706478,76422 and many more.
Thanks

When you try to delete, you will be asked whether you want to delete logs too.
Here try with 'No'.
hope this helps

Can't delete certain emails from Mail. Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."

Can't delete certain emails from Mail. Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc." The problem appears randomly.

I had the same problem, and it was solved by going to the Mailbox menu and selecting "rebuild."

The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

How can I delete previous sites from my hard disc?

I am working my way through Adobe Muse - Classroom in a book.
I recently asked the forum about an unlabeled 'preparation page' and finally located it at the end of the folder of lessons. My thanks for that assistance.
I have now got as far as Lightbox and Widgets. Now I would like to wipe the board clean and start afresh.
Either because of differences between the book or updates to Muse and my Welcome dialogue box has eight attempts that I would like to remove.
How do I remove / delete previous sites from the Welcome dialogue box or should that read Hard Disc?
Help much appreciated.

/Dear Sanjit,
I'm sorry but that trick doesn't work on my copy of Muse. If I click on
any of the files names on the welcome window it opens as a Muse file and
if I right click nothing happens at all. My Muse is up to date as I get
it from Adobe Cloud/./Adobe Air has just now updated/.
Any ideas?

Delete Recent Recipients From Mail iOS 7

Is there a way to delete recent recipients from Mail in ios 7?
I see that some can be deleted pretty simply if they have the "i" in the circle next to them, but that only applies in about 25% of the ones that pop up in my mail app.
I've also seen advice that I restore the phone as a new iphone...NOT what I want to do..would loose too much other in app stuff etc.
Maybe there is a "cleaner" app or script that can be run???
Thanks
Tom

Interesting answer. I did that since I'm having the same problem but I can only delete individual songs. Is there any way to delete an artist all together ?
No, iOS7 with iTunes Match only allows deleting individual songs, one at a time. If you need to be able to remove an entire album, artist, genre, etc., you should turn off iTunes Match on your phone and go back to syncing it with your computer.

I cannot delete some apps from my Iphone.

I cannot delete certain apps from my Iphone. (Not System Apps) They are blacked out, if I press and hold the app the option is there to delete it however it does not delete. After pressing the X it says "deleting xxxx will also delete all of its data" I click delete, but nothing happens. I verified that i do not have any restrictions. Any suggestions?

Hi andyhany,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the apps may not have downloaded to your iPhone completely. I recommend trying the solution from this discussion thread first:
App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
Regards,
Jeremy

I cannot delete the messages from my mailbox

I cannot delete any messages from my mailboxes. Please help

If you are using the native Apple email app you should be able to swipe to the left and delete. If you can't then remove and reinstall the email account. If that does work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
