Cleaning Up Files?

I've got a monitoring windows box that has grid control installed on it. I'm using the 11.2.0.2 database with weblogic. - I think the grid control is 11.1.0.1.0.
This is taking up 19 gigs of space. Is this normal? Are there log files that I'm missing that need to be cleaned up and removed?

Globally Replacing a Noisy Media File with a Cleaned Up File in FCE

I'm working on a project where I have found that one of my master clips has an audio issue. I've used subclips from this master clip in many places in my video. I'd like to know if thee is a way to process the audio of this master clip and have FCE pickup the cleaned up version of the media automatically for all the subclips used in my sequence. I've found a noise removal effect in a program called Audacity that works quite well to get rid of the noise in my master clip. I'm just not sure about the workflow to get the cleaned up file back into my FCE timeline. Audacity is supposed to work as an external editor in FCE, but haven't been able to get this to work correctly. Here's my proposal:
1. Place my master clip on new sequence and export the audo tracks to an AIFF file.
2. Process this file in Audacity using the Audacity Noise Removal effect and save to a .AIFF file.
3. Import this clean .AIFF file back into FCE.
4. Repace the audio on the timeline with the cleaned up audio file.
5. Export this sequence to QTMovie.
6. Exit FCE and using Finder, replce the original master clip media file in the Capture Scratch directory with the new file with the identical name as the original file
7. Re launch FCE and hope the program picks up the new file like nothing had changed.
Does anyone know if this can work as a way to do a global replace on a mdeia file tht needed cleaning up.
Doug

Should work as long as both files are the exact same length - the alternative is moving your original file to a new location then using the reconnect menu to navigate to the edited clip.

How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive

I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. Help!

I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. I did a couple of thousand trashed images and half hour later, more arrived. There are a lot of images that seem off the internet, including gif.s, png.s. Help!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

How to cleaning old files hidding?

My files not need and hidding on my OS Mac 10.6.7 .

Does Macbook Air have automatic unused files and ask me to clean up?

CleanMyMac gets the job done - removing e.g. cashed files and systemfiles. Have been using it for weeks and works like a charm - no files missing.

Oracle Best Practices / Guidelines regarding Cleaning TEMP files

Hi folks,
Can any one help me with a set of steps / guidelines or best practices to clean TEMP files from OBIEE servers (our PROD environment)?
Does perhaps OBIEE take care of this for you automatically, how is that process happening?
Thanks a lot for your time and attention and hope to hear from you soon.

TEMPS files are deleted from the server once a user logs out. But there might be chance where the TEMP files does not get deleted automaticlly, when the user logs out of the system even before the TEMP file has been generated completely. In this case the temp files get stored in the server, and a bounce of services cleans up the files.
The best practice would be to create a script to empty out the temp directory during the start up of the services.

Does running scanpst ever fully correct or fix the pst? Ran it 416 times so far trying to get it to fully clean the file.

Does running scanpst ever fully correct or fix the pst? Ran it 416 times so far trying to get it to fully clean the file.
I've ran this scanpst within Win7 outlook 2010 for 3 days. The scanpst began taking about 4 minutes to finish and still showed that there were errors in the file. After 416 runs through the scanpst, the file is taking about 15 to 30 seconds. It's greatly
improved but this is ridiculous. Why isn't there something from tech support to fully fix the file without starting a new profile and starting over? There's just too much info needed to be saved. If it's simply transferred over to the new profile then it works
for a short time then the corrupt files wreck the new profile. I've really searched for this answer and gotten no where even on youtube. Some of the issues are mostly hanging outbox or rejected login 0x80042109, 0x800421A, 0x800CCC92 and 0x800CCC1A. Please
assist in stopping the madness.
Thanks, ICRonline

There's just too much info needed to be saved. If it's simply transferred over to the new profile then it works for a short time then the corrupt files wreck the new profile.
This isn't an attempt to provide any kind of definitive answer but your description begs a number of questions...
#1 - What kind of email account is this particular PST file associated with - POP3 or IMAP?
#2 - If IMAP - am assuming that the PST file in question is related to the one which contains the <Inbox> folder> correct?. Simply deleting (renaming) this file will result in a new one being automatically recreated with the contents of whatever
exists on the server (assuming you have no created any kind of <local only> unsubscribed folders in the tree) - which then begs the question as to whether or not the root of the problem exists within the data stored on the server
#3 - If POP3 - what is the format of the PST file - ANSI or Unicode? If ANSI - what is the size of the file? ANSI files max out at 2gb
To determine the format - right click on the root of the PST file --> properties --> click <Advanced> button --> if the <Format> field description contains <97-2002> - it's an ANSI based PST file. (Regardless of anything else - if
this is the case - should be converted to a UNICODE file)
#4 - Where is the PST file being stored - on a local drive or a network drive? If network - not supported and highly prone to causing corruption.
#5 - Purely from a logical perspective - the fact that things appear to work properly for the "first few days" after a new profile is created indicates that there is something consistently occurring on some kind of 'timed basis" triggering
your issues. If that's the case, even if ScanPST did fully clear all issues - just a matter of time before the same thing happens again (whatever "that thing" may happen to be) - ergo, in this scenario, highly unlikely that ScanPST is the answer
since what really needs to be done is to find the root cause of what is triggering the problem.
#6 - It would also be pretty safe that this is not a generic issue impacting everyone using OL'2010 - regardless of OS so your environment is one deserving a lot of close scrutiny.

I have added photos to a portfolio website I'm building and a lot of them look VERY grainy when you click on them. They are nice clean large files and can print bat high res way over 16" x 20" so whats happened to them in iWeb?

When you are dealing with websites, image file size is a trade off between quality and download speed. There's not a lot of point to having high quality images if they take too long to download in the browser.
Nowadays we also have to consider the device that the end user is viewing the images on. An image that is optimized for viewing on a large screen is total overkill and unsuitable for those using mobile devices.
Really we should be supplying different versions of media files for different devices using @media rules in the stylesheet but this is rather outside of the scope of iWeb. If you use the built in image optimizer and the iWeb Photo template with slideshow, the application will optimize the images according to the way in which you set this function in preferences and the slideshow size will be automatically reduced for those viewing it on smaller screens.
If you want to give your viewers the opportunity to view large, high quality images, you can supply them as a download.

Where is the Clean Install file for Flash Player for Mac?

The troubleshooting for Mac Install of Flash Player suggests that one uninstall and then perform a clean install. I believe that this has also been referred to as an "offline" installer. When one clicks on the the link to the clean install, one obtains the dreaded "404", File not Found error. Does anyone know where one can find the clean install file. The standard update almost never, ever works on my 2009 PowerMac, now running Yosemite. Would someone please suggest to the folks running the Adobe website that it would be nice to have a working link to such a file. This issue has come up before. Would someone also suggest that before any new update is unleashed upon the world that someone make sure that the "Clean Install" link is linked to a download of a "Clean Install" installer?
Many thanks,
T. Olsen

Here is the first part of it, hope it helps.

Best application for cleaning my files?

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most users don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Provided that you moved the ENTIRE itunes folder...
Quit iTunes from under the iTunes menu (by the apple), or hold CMD and press Q. Then, hold Option on your keyboard and click the itunes icon on your dock. Continue to hold Option and you'll see a popup where you can select "Choose Library". Navigate to, and select, the itunes folder at its new location.
If you didn't move the entire itunes library folder, you'll have to be specific about what you did.

E72: How to clean up files downloaded during insta...

Hello,
I upgraded quick office to ver 6 and noticed that phone memory has reduced by a big margin. From 190 MB to 177MB. Is there a way to clean up unwanted files from C: drive of the phone ? Are there are any apps that can do this clean up ?
Thanks

The new version of QuickOffice needs to be installed somewhere, and that's on your C: drive, so it's normal that you lose a few megabytes.
Please note that the original version of QuickOffice comes in the firmware (ROM), so the only way to update it without losing C: space would be if this is upgraded in the firmware (by Nokia).

IPhoto made a huge mess, how to clean up files on HD???

I have thousands of photos in iPhoto v6.0.6, and it has somehow made a huge frustrating mess of things. Some preliminary information:
• My preference is set to "Copy photos to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library."
• Under the main "Library" heading, I have five categories with the little yellow calendar icon: "Early Photos," "2007," "2008," "2009," "2010." I am under the impression that when adding/removing photos to an album, I am simply creating/removing links to the photos within these main categories. Therefore, I was assuming that if I delete the photos from these categories, they will disappear for good within the main Libraries as well as within individual Albums.
Earlier this evening I attempted to delete a bunch of photos which I don't want anymore... I want to get rid of these photos in iPhoto, but I would like to delete them from the hard drive as well. I went into each of the 5 categories under the main Library heading, and selected hundreds of photos to delete. After highlighting the photos I wanted to delete, I pressed Command-Delete on my keyboard (which, in the Photo menu, says it should move the photos to the trash). I assumed this meant it would move the physical files to the Finder's Trash. After deleting photos from the individual categories, I went into my Finder's Trash, and there was nothing there. So I noticed there is also a "Trash" section at the bottom of the left-hand pane within iPhoto (very confusing). All of my deleted photos were in there. So I selected them again, and pressed Command-Delete. All photos disappeared without a trace within iPhoto.
So far, so good.... My HUGE problem is that none of these photos were actually deleted from the hard drive!! I went into my home folder/Pictures/iPhoto Library/etc/etc/Camera Roll #x, and ALL of the photos I attempted to delete still reside on my hard drive as if they're still being managed by iPhoto!
I'll be honest... I have plenty of time to manually go through dozens of folders in the Finder and look for all of these photos a second time and delete them. However I'm simply not willing to waste time doing that when I thought I had already accomplished that task by selected "Move To Trash" from within iPhoto, and then emptying the trash. I'll just ditch iPhoto altogether if I can't fix this.
My questions: a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)? b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto? c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again? d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?

1 - it is a really good idea to post in the appropriate forum - you apparently posted an iPhoto 6 question in the iPhoto '09 forum - in this case the answer is the same for the questions you ask
a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)?
Select the photo(s) in roll view and drag to the iPhoto trash or press the delete key - empty the iPhoto trash from the iPhoto menu ==> empty trash - do this in batches of 100 or less photos
b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto?
I'm not sure what happened and no longer have iPhoto 6 to test - one thing to try is backing up your library and rebuilding the library (depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto)
c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again?
Delete as above in answer to a)
d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?
SInce this is strictly a user to user forum and Apple specifically does not monitor nor answer here do not expect an answer from Apple
Also NEVER use the finder to make any changes to the contents or structure of the iPhoto library - doing so may corrupt your library and cause data loss

Share via E-Mail redline a PDF file jointly with the clean DOC file

Morning.
For professional use I do need a script or an automatic workflow to achieve that a file such I have modified in Change Tracking Mode, is »Shared via Email« as (a) a PDF file showing the changes, and (b) jointly with a clean version DOC file (all changes and comments accepted).
Do you know, how to achieve such preferably at »one click«?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

It should be possible to write an applescript that does it, but it would involve quite a lot of work. Search the forum and the internet for applescript and "tell application pages", and you will find some examples that will give you a base to build on.

MS Word 2004 Macro viruses - how do I clean old files?

Hi,
We just got a new iMac and it's running Leopard. MS Office 2004 is installed and I transferred files from my old blueberry iMac about a week ago. Ever since, when I open a Word document from the old computer it asks if I would like to enable macros. If I disable, then the file opens as "read only." These are simple Word documents, though... I didn't put any macros in.
I suspect I have a macro virus on the files and now it's infiltrated my new computer. My university provides a copy of McAfee Virus Scan 8.5i but it won't launch.
What do I have to do to clean my new computer and these files? Once upon a time, during OS 10.3 or so, I had a similar problem but I ended up wiping the hard drive clean. I need these old files, though.
Thanks in advance.

*"What do I have to do to clean my new computer and these files?"*
You already know what you have to do...get antivirus software.

Can I set all folders and displays to clean up files by name automatically?

It stinks having to clean up each folder individually by name of file. Is there a way to do this as a system preference so it will do it automatically for everything?

In the case you mentioned (COMMAND J) the answer is yes;
This is the default option on my MBP where one can change the parameters and they will always be reflected as such. Take note of the sliders, text size and so forth.
Ciao.
