CS5 Bridge - Windows.  Can't delete old files

I have no trouble deleting new files but have tried every method and old tif and psd files refuse to delete.  Can it be because files uploaded on CS3 can't be deleted using CS5?

How do I find out if they are read only
Right-click a file in Explorer, select Properties, in the General tab, look at the bottom bit (Attributes).

if they are, how did they get that way?

  • Can't delete old files from used TC

    I bought a 500GB time capsule on ebay. No problem with the wireless, but I can't do a back up because it looks like the files from the old user are still on there.

    Launch AirPort Utility, double-click on your Time Capsule to enter "Manual Setup" mode, select the "Disks" icon in the toolbar, select "Time Capsule Disk" (or whatever yours is called) on the left, then click the "Erase" button.

  • 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.

  • My 2 TB Time Capsule's memory is full because it will not automatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zero backup of my two computers now.  How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and saves the new?

    My 2 TB Time Capsule’s memory is full because it will notautomatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zerobackup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and savesthe new?
    Neither my local computer consultant nor I have been ableto change any of the settings in Time Machine to correct this problem.  Working with the choices in the TimeMachine, there does not appear that there is any way to change the frequency ofthe backups either, so, after a year has elapsed, the time capsule is full, andmy only choice appears to be to erase all the current data on the Time Capsuleand start over, something that I do not want to at all let alone repeat on anannual basis.  My questions are:
    What can be done to have my Time Capsule delete old filesas it is supposed to do, so it has memory available to allow my computers toback up? 
    Is this a software problem that can be fixed online or isdoes this require a mechanical fix of defective hardware?

    How much data is being backed-up from each Mac?  (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
    Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
    Most likely, there just isn't room.  Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't.  Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).

  • 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 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.

  • Can I delete trace files

    Hi All
    Some time back I enabled "ALTER SYSTEM SET trace_enabled = TRUE,ALTER SESSION SET sql_trace = TRUE". So now I am not able to connect to the database. It is giving no space left error. So I suspect it is because of huge number of log files. Can I delete all *.trm and *.trc files or some are impotent. I am new to the Database.
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    yes you can delete old files .Do not delete the recent files.

  • Delete old files on my video ipod

    I am a new ipod user and have a video ipod. I have been downloading podcasts to my ipod for a week or so. Even though in my itunes I keep only the newest episodes, my ipod retains all previous episodes. However, when I go to my ipod in the source list, all the podcast items are de-highlighted and I can not select or delete.
    Can someone point me to a way to delete old files on my ipod?
    Thanks!

    Try this:
    In iTunes click on "Podcast", you don't need to have your iPod connected.
    Highlight the file you want to delete and press the DELETE key on your keyboard. It will ask if you want to delete the file. If you want to just remove it from your iPod and want to keep the original file on your computer select "Keep Files". If you want to remove from both, select "Move to crcycle bin". This is for PC. If you use a Mac the wording might be slightly different but the principle should be the same.
    When you're all done deleting, connect your iPod and the podcasts will be automatically removed from your iPod.
    Hope it helps.

  • I can't delete this file !!

    Hi,
    Actually I'm really facing a very strange situation..
    It happened that I have a file that all the permissions it has is that it can be read by its owner..
    and to make it even more odd, the owner is 'root'...
    I can't figure a way to remove this file, but I really have to..
    It all started when I tried to remove a probable virus file from a 'ntfs' partition..
    but when I mounted this partition, I found that I can't delete this file...
    Oh, I forgot to say that I couldn't delete it from windows either, so ???
    Any help is appreciated ..
    thanx in advance..

    yehdev_cc wrote:Thank you for the replies...
    @richs-lxh : The problem is that I don't have the permission to change the owner or the permissions.. even the owner of the file (it's the 'root') doesn't have this permission!!
    If you mount the ntfs partition, change ownership and make it writeable, you can do whatever you want to any file. Root is God
    Ok, so go for installing ntfs-3g.
    Now mount the partition to a directory called /windows.
    You can chown the owner of the entire partition recursively with the -R switch. For example:
    su to root
    su
    make a mount directory
    mkdir /windows
    backup fstab before editing
    cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
    open fstab with nano
    nano fstab
    copy and paste this code (change hda1 to your windows partition) Then "ctrl+X" to exit "Y" to save and "Enter" to quit.
    /dev/hda1 /windows ntfs defaults 0 0
    mount all partitions
    mount -a
    change owbnership to root, recursively, every single file (may take a few minutes)
    chown -R root:root /windows
    add write permissions, recursively, every single file (may take a few minutes)
    chmod -R 755 /windows
    Now go and delete the file. If you can't delete the file I would really like some further information on what virus it is/was, as I have never had any Windows file which I couldn't remove as root.
    PS: If you have "System Restore" enabled on Windows, disable it and delete it. It's the first place where all the nasties go to hide, and then reinfect the system later.

  • Time Machine SparseDisk Fails to Delete Old Files

    I'm running Time Machine on the new 7.3.1 patch and have finally filled the drive. At first everything was going smoothly until I realized that Time Machine is not deleting old files to make room for new ones.
    I found this out when I realized Time Machine stop backing up to it because the drive is full. Why is the sparsedisk not getting smaller or making room for newer backups?
    Is it because this feature is unsupported?

    Thanks.  Although the reset did nothing, by deleting enough old backups (a VERY slow process) I could get it to free enough space for another backup.  It's not clear to me why it cannot do this automatically.
    Time Machine will delete old backups, if it can.  So something must be wrong.  See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If nothing there helps, a clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.  Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

  • Creative Zen 8GB - Can't delete certain files (Write Protected it sa

    I have added a bunch of mp3s, images and videos to my player, but now when I try to delete some of these files I get a "you can't delete this file because it's write protected", if I check the properties of such files they are infact write protected but there's no way for me to uncheck the box and make them deletable.
    Anyone with the same problem or with a handy solution?
    P.S. I updated already to the latest firmware.

    Yes; I got my Zen this week and had the same problem when I copied over some MP3 files from a CD-ROM, which are write protected when the CD-ROM is created. I thought that the Zen was defecti've but now feel this is either a programmers misunderstanding of Windows Read Only functionality in the Zen -or- when you protect a file from deletion within the Zen, this is what the firmware sets to flag the file as 'Protected (I have not researched this yet).
    My Fix: For some of you this will not be the answer you are looking for but it works and will kept your Zen music file structure and library intact.
    You may need to switch to MTP mode in the creative software before you are allowed to use this technique. Search the forum where to find this checkbox. Otherwise your XP may be able to nati'vely open Explorer windows to the Zen.
    Setup: Open two Windows Explorer windows on your desktop. In one, create a new folder on a hard dri've that has enough space to handle all the music files on your Zen. In another Explorer window, navigate to the Zen music folder.
    1. Use Windows Explorer to copy ALL of your music files From the Zen to a new folder on your computer's hard dri've. If you don't have enough room on your hard dri've (and if not, why don't you? ) move files in stages.
    2. When the files are in your hard dri've's folder, right-click on the new folder and select Properties. Deselect (Uncheck) the Read Only attribute checkbox. If another dialog is displayed, select "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" and click 'OK'. This will make all your files deletable on the Zen.
    3. Copy (drag) all the files back to your Zen, overwriting the original files.
    That's it. In the future perform step two before copying any files to the Zen.

  • Can't delete old pictures

    Is anyone have the same problem: I used iPhoto since a while.
    I upgrade to iPhoto 09 last month.
    Today, I am organizing my pics and I am unable to delete pictures !
    I can delete fresh pictures (I mean picture I just uploade from my camera)
    I can't delete old picture from 2-3 month...?
    I delete and the spinning icon (for waiting) kepps on turning and the iPhoto freeze...
    This problem occurs when I try to delete one our a group of picture.
    I changed nothing in the parameters.
    I haven't lock any file.

    I am having the same problem, having recently switched from 08 to 09. I can't delete photos as the machine hangs up and shows me the dreaded beach ball and (not responding) message - I have tried different ways to delete and different numbers of photos, hoping one my be the source of my problem. I have rebuilt my libraries - all things that I see being recommended on this site.
    It has hung up on me numerous times while trying to perform other tasks as well, such as batch changes or changes to dates and times, cut and pasting between events and related type tasks. Apple is getting a ton of messages from Force Quit. Any other suggestions? The only thing I haven't done is try to re-install. Getting pretty frustrating.
