Content of my document folder being delete in windows 8,1

From couple of months all saved data in My Document folder is being delete repeatedly, its like the folder is flushing automatically. Please help me with this. Thank You

Or do you have any Synchronization Settings? I mean your document folder might sync with another folder (it's content is empty ) automatically in the background.
And tell us something about this document, is it in a local place or a network place ? Does this issue only happen in Document folder?
And if this is a redirected folder, then check this policy Move the contents of [FolderName] to the new location . This setting moves all the data the user has in the local folder to the shared folder on the network.
You can find more information about fodler redirection in the following link

Can the contents of the Downloads folder be deleted?

Can the contents of the Downloads folder be deleted in order to regain storage space?

Hi KMess1948
The Downloads folder is just a convenient place to put stuff that you downloaded from various sources. It's contents can be deleted at will. You could of course create an archive on a separate harddisk or memory stick to keep for instance study material, or stuff that you would use more frequently. The rest of the stuff could be trashed at will.
I keep three achives, OS X and Combo Updates including and since SL, Documents, & important downloaded documents besides the normal backup stuff.
Download folder gets emptied regularly.
Have fun

No Mobile Documents Folder Being Created on a 2007 MBP

This is just a observation regarding iCloud that someone might have a answer for but it's not imperative.
I'm running a MBP 2010 as well as a MBP 2007 and using the iCloud works since I've tested it out with Pages, were I uploaded a document from Pages on the 2010 and downloaded it onto the 2007 without a hitch other than having to verify my email address with Apple, but through all this the "Mobile Documents" folder was'nt created on the 2007 MBP but it has been on the 2010 MBP.

I'm not certain if there's a cause and effect here, but I was able to find the Mobile Documents folder on my iMac easily. But when I went to my MacBook, it was not there even though I had Lion on both with iCloud docs enabled. I tried everything and nothing worked. But before hitting the sack, I realized I had not yet set up "Mail" on the MacBook. I set that up with my accounts and just for the heck of it went back to the library and Mobile Documents was there. Not sure if this is related at all...but that was the only thing I did. Perhaps just a fluke but if you're like me, I was pulling my hair out. Relieved that a solution somehow appeared.

Some Media Card folders within 'documents' folder not visible in Windows XP Pro SP3

I have tried renaming these folders on the device (eliminating '.'s and generally shortening the folder names) and then connecting to a Windows machine again afterwards, however, I have two problematic folders (within the 'documents' folder) that are still not visible in Windows.
One thing that is kind of troubling is that I thought I noticed that when I was moving files out of the 'documents' root directory (only place I can put files from the Windows machine [while connected] because I can't see the target folders in Windows) on the device to one of the problematic folders (again, because I cannot accomplish this in Windows), the original full-length folder name was still being referenced in the path displayed in the intermediate confirmation dialog.
Does it matter whether the folders are created within the (connected to) Windows environment or done on the device? Are there folder name length considerations or illegal characters?
I have created (in the Windows environment, while connected) some rather long folder names (including ''' & '.' characters) within the 'pictures' directory and have no trouble seeing them later in Windows.
What could be going on here?
Thanks, FFF

How can I see the contents of the "Other" folder and delete unwanted files?

Cleaning up "Other" folder

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Fonts being deleted in windows 8.1! Is an update the cause?

Hi,
After a reboot nearly all fonts are missing in the fonts folder. It has much influence to the running programs, they sometimes don't work at all!
When I reinstall the fonts, they seem to still be there, but the same time they are missing. And after that reinstall they are back. But after reboot they are gone again.
I read on the internet that an update of Windows could be the cause.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Regards,
Maarten

Hi MaartenvL,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
It seems that you have no development problem, right? This forum specify for discussing and ask questions about the Visual C++ IDE, libraries, samples, tools, setup, and Windows programming using MFC and ATL. So It may be a good choice to ask the
issue about windows update on the answer.microsoft.com.

Contents in Documents Folder Suddenly Empty

I'm a single user and I found that today my contents in documents folder suddenly empty. I also noticed that my free space doesn't have any change (the documents folder contents contain of thousands SVG, Ai, EPS, PSD, PNG, JPG, files). Unfortunately I don't have time machine, I just bought this mac for about three months ago. This is so frustrating.
I tried to:
-check my trash bin, nothing found
-search my files over spotlight and finder, nothing found
-restart my mac, nothing happened
-verify disk permissions, found one invalid permissions, fixed
-verify disk, no problems found
I tried another solutions:
in terminal (ls -ael ~/Documents)
ls -ael ~/Documents

What would cause the contents of my "documents" folder to suddenly disappear?
Right now I'm scanning my Mac if there's any virus. I'll update soon if I found any.

There is not malware involved. It's extremely unlikely that you would have any Mac malware, though the scan may well turn up some Windows malware attached to e-mail messages or something similar.
As to what the problem is, that's hard to say. One possibility is that you have somehow accidentally moved them to a different folder. Since Spotlight does not search everywhere and could be handicapped if something is wrong with the search indices, try searching for one file whose name you know with certainty using EasyFind.
Unfortunately, whatever may have happened, if those files can no longer be found on your hard drive and cannot be found by data recovery tools, they are gone for good since you don't have any backups.

Protect a folder from deletion

I have a sharepoint folder that I want to protect from being deleted. The folders within change so users need to be able to read write within the folder.
I have used ACLs at the custom level and removed ability to delete the parent folder. However, when I attempt to delete the parent folder to test, a dialogue window comes up to tell me I do not have permissions to delete, and when I ok that window, the contents of the parent folder gets deleted.
Try as I might I have been unable to find the write combo of permissions to prevent the contents being deleted with the parent protected from deletion.
Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Tiger server (10.4.11) running on G5 XServe

You could look at creating a 'Commons" folder. It can be a bit tricky at first, but if you work with it I think you can get what you want. See John Detroye's excellent Tips and Tricks document which can be downloaded from this web address: https://servicedesk.utep.edu/workorder/FileDownload.jsp?module=Solution&ID=1511& delete=false
Search for 'Commons". This document is geared toward 10.5 server, but ACL's were introduced in 10.4 server, so it should be doable.

Files in Document folder disappear

Started my computer this evening only to find that the folder “Documents” in Finder was empty. When I closed down yesterday there were documents and subdirectories in it. Using “Word” or “XL” I can open the documents which supports that they are not lost. When I try to save an open document back to the directory “Documents” I get a message advising that the file (document) already exits.
When I search for a known document in Spotlight the properties state that it is located in the “Documents” folder
Why can’t I see the contents of the “Documents” folder in “Finder”

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Documents Folder Suddenly EMPTY!

What would cause the contents of my "documents" folder to suddenly disappear?
I had about twenty large folders in there, and the odds of accidentally highlighting them all and sending them to the trash is unlikely. Of course, anything is possible.
I seriously doubt that I did that ... but I can't imagine how else everything in my documents folder would suddenly disappear. Can anyone suggest?
-John
ps. I did have everything backed up, but I still want to know why it disappeared in the first place.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone.
Holy smokes ... here it is one day later ... and the folder is empty again!
I recovered all my stuff from Time Machine a day or two ago. I saw it all in the folder with my own eyes.
Today I clicked the "documents" folder in the finder sidebar ... empty.
Then I went to Macintosh HD and clicked on my username and the document folder ... also empty.
I searched for one of my document files in finder ... nothing.
I also ran Disk Utility ... all clean.
I downloaded, updated, and ran VirusBarrier X6 ... all clean.
This is obviously not an issue of me accidentally deleting the files now. Something unusual is definitely going on.
Please, can anyone help?
-JOHN
ps. If you have advanced processes you want me to go through, please use 'idiot-speak' and that's my native language ... ie, not hip to Mac lingo beyond folders and basic prefs.

How to share out web Documents folder in read/write mode

I have a MacPro at work with Mac OS X 10.5.1 sitting on a network with a static IP address which is accessible via the Internet with few restrictions. This Mac does not use the built-in firewall; it is off. I regularly use my Mac at home to update a web site which I host on this Mac for a non-profit community group.
What I am trying to do is set up the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder with this organization's president so he can update the web site himself. He has a Mac running Tiger. I created an account and set up file sharing and he can mount this folder on his desktop and see its contents; however, the Documents folder and every item in it are locked so no updates or changes can be made. When I check with Get Info, the Documents folder shows a lock symbol, but when I unlock it and use the option to apply the change to the folder's contents, then close the Get Info window and open it again, the lock is activated again. He and I are the only ones with permissions to alter these files, and I don't have a lock on them. How can I remove the lock so my co-webmaster can update the files?

Unfortunately, his Mac is not local to me. I would have to drive about 30 miles each way, which is not too bad, but I won't have time to do it for a couple of weeks and I am hoping an easier solution can be found without me having to drive, especially since if the problem is on my end, that trip would be a waste of time for both of us.

Word 2013 shows full UNC path instead of local "Documents" folder on file Open and Save

Normally Word (and Excel) by default will show the user's local "Documents" folder when opening or saving a file. That is what we want. However, after using Windows Server Folder Redirection to redirect the Documents folder to the network (Windows
Server 2012R2), Word now shows the full UNC path to the network share.
Instead of seeing:
"MyPC Documents"
users see
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Folder redirection is supposed to be transparent to the user. Virtually all our other applications, including Office 2003, respect this convention and continue to show "Documents". As you can see, Word even exposes a hidden share.
Even if we go to File / Options / Save and browse to the local Documents folder as the place Word should open and save files from, Word immediately removes the path you have browsed to, and replaces it with the UNC path.
Is there a way to suppress this behavior? Thanx!
Dana

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you only want others to see some part of path name, rather than full UNC path name. It is right?
It seems that we can’t implement your requirement. When we open a file from “My Pictures”, it shows “My picture” instead of showing the full path “C:\Users\User\Pictures”. “My Picture” is set as a library in Windows, so it hides
full path by design. We can't set \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents as a library.
As a workaround, you can upload these files to OneDrive and share link to others.
If I have anything misunderstood, don't hesitate to tell me.

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"?

Safe to delete content from the Temp folder under AppData?

Hi everyone,
Is it safe to delete the contents from the Temp folder (C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp) in the SharePoint 2013 web front end servers?
For some reason I see around 30 GB of temp files. Came across
this blog post but in my case ULS logs are still being generated in the D drive. Not sure how those Temp files are being created. Application servers seem to be fine.
Tried -
changing the ULS log path from D to C and back to D drive (as per the above blog post... no luck)
tried restarting the SP tracing service
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
