Delete Data Files
Hello,
I have recreated my undo tableapce with a single data file.
The previous data files of undo tablespace are still exists on the drive & allocating a LOT of drive space...
Can i delete the previous files . . . ?
I there any problem in deleting the files when db is up & running. . .?
To be sure rename these files first or move it to an
other location and check whether the DB still works.Yup it is safe to rename or move this file before deleting permanently.
Another way is run following command , it will show attached processes
if datafile is in use
fuser <data_file_name>

Unable to delete data files from my Ipod if used as data storage...
Hello everybody
I bought months ago an Ipod Nano 8GB. I've got an issue when i use it as disk storage i'm not able to sort out. I've checked all the topics but i cannot find any solution.
Example: I use the Ipod with the option "Manually manage music and videos". I put audio and video files on my Ipod through Itunes, then i put also some files on my Ipod as normal data files through my Mac Finder (Easy, i drag VLC, JPG files etc. from folders to my Ipod). The Ipod/Itunes summary page shows (Correctly) the capacity column colored in blue (Audio), video (Purple) and orange (Data). No probs when i transfer data files to another computer.
Problem: when i delete the data files from my Ipod (Through finder) the orange column doesn't disappear (I have no problems if i delete audio/video files via Itunes) and although i've actually deleted all the files if i try to add some other data or videos/music files to my Ipod, Itunes says that there is no space available in my device. It's very strange, i check and double check all the options but eventually i have to restore my Ipod all the times and (Pretty annoying) add all my files again.
It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
It'd be great if someone can help me out as it's very important for me to be able to use my Ipod as disk storage, thanks a lot!It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
Empty it from the Finder menu or by control-clicking it in the Dock.

I am using VS 2013 to develop a Windows Phone 8.1 Universal app. When I deploy to the device (my phone), the old data file that I had stored in the roamingfolder previously continues to be used. I have uninstalled the app after being deployed,
I put code in the app to delete the files individually from the roamingfolder and used ClearAsync(). That worked until I deployed the app again and then the old files came back. I have not associated these apps with the store yet so roaming should
not be working. The desktop app does not have this problem, when I uninstall it the files are deleted.
In the phone app properties debug tab, I have the Uninstall and the reinstall my package checked for all configurations. I have looked everywhere I can think of for these old files: laptop c:, phone tempfolder, localfolder, etc. thinking VS is reinstalling
them from somewhere when deploying the app but I cannot find them. If I change the phone app to use the localfolder, the old files are not used.
Is this just the way it is if I use the roamingfolder or is there a way to delete these old files?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Hi MV12,
>>When I deploy to the device (my phone), the old data file that I had stored in the roamingfolder previously continues to be used
Yes, it is designed to work like that, please refer to this document for details:
#Accessing app data with the Windows Runtime (Windows Runtime apps)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh464917.aspx#roaming_app_data
Roaming data for an app is available in the cloud as long as it is accessed by the user from some device within the required time interval.
If the user does not run an app for longer than this time interval, its roaming data is removed from the cloud.
If a user uninstalls an app, its roaming data isn't automatically removed from the cloud, it's preserved. If the user reinstalls the app within the time interval, the roaming data is synchronized from the cloud. The current policy specifies
that this time interval is 30 days. Location is available via the roamingFolder property.

No, you will have to wait.

GB storing deleted data, files are too big!
Hi All
I recorded a full concert, 2-3 hours, 8 audio tracks. This came out to about 4GB. Now I want to edit down each song individually, so I cut everything out but the song, and "Save As..." its own file. After cutting down to one song, the file is still 4GB! It seems that GB still stores all of the deleted data. I want to do this for 20-30 songs, and I don't want each file to be 4GB large. Is there anyway to trim the data that it is retaining?
Thankskman wrote:
It's kind of a tedious workaround, especially if I have to go through that for 8 tracks x 30 songs.
while i agree it would be a nice feature, you have to remember, you're re-purposing GB, your use is not the one for which it was designed; one song per project.
you can always send Apple a feature request with the Feedback menuItem (under the GaageBand menu) to let them know -
Time Machine deleted data files
I just set up time machine with a back up hard drive. When I went to open "Quicken" the data file opened is almost two years old. I cannot locate the latest file anywhere on the computer or back up drive. Any ideas where it could be hiding?
stheyn wrote:
Thanks for the reply. Time Machine must have deleted the file.
No. It's possible that for some reason Time Machine didn't back it up, but it cannot delete a file from your system.
The last time I saw the file was 1 day before I turned on time machine
I never mess with the data file (Quicken automatically backs up the files - they are all missing since early 2009)
Quicken backs them up? Where? (Obviously I don't use it).
I have tried Spotlight and Finder to look for any newer Quicken type files, with no luck.
I really don't know what happened and the file is probably gone. But, I was hoping somebody has had this issue and found some solution.
Have you looked in the trash?
If you're really sure the file was there yesterday, and it's important, +*Stop using your internal drive immediately+* to stop further loss due to files being overwritten. The longer you use it, the more files will be overwritten and lost forever.
You need specialized +Data Recovery+ software, or a service that performs the function. It's not cheap, and there are no guarantees.
The app mentioned here most often is +Data Rescue 3,+ but I haven't used it myself, so can't recommend it over any of the others.
Some of these have a free "trial mode," that will tell you if there's anything to be recovered, and perhaps recover a single file. For more, you have to pay the $$.
You'll also need another drive to receive anything it can recover.
Look for apps or services under +Data Recovery+ via Google, VersionTracker.com, or MacUpdate.com. -
Please forgive me if this has been solved before, i've searched the forum and several pages of this forum and found nothing that will help.
I had a problem with a lock up which i fixed with recovery mode, but since then (probably before, or what caused the lock up) i can't seem to delete the data files.
I have a 60gb Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. I have the latest updates for the software and firmware.
I go into the explorer to delete these files, each takes about 2 minutes to 'prepare' it comes up with 'deleting' but no progress bar, this stays for about 2 minutes and then just disapears, the thing is, no progress bar shows and it looks like its locking up then cuts back to the window and its all fine. The file seems to appear to be gone, it does this with all the data files.
Huzzah i think.
But no, i go back out of the explorer, when i go back in, the files are still there. I also can't copy to the directory either, it starts 'preparing' then it comes up with an error saying that it cant write the data to the dri've. Ive tried it with different files with the same message.
Deleting and copying music onto the Zen is perfectly fine and works like a treat, its just the data files.
I'd love to be able to access the data files directly on the Zen and delete them like the audio but i can't.
Can anyone help me please? I've searched the forums and searched the Knowledge base.I have the same problem;
I own a 20GB Zen Touch and I can't copy or delete data files and folders because of an error saying "cannot read file from jukebox". OS is Windows XP pro.
The problem started some days ago; before, it was all correctly functioning.
I tried with clean up from recovery mode and rebuilding the library, but the problem it's still annoying me.
I will try to connect my player to another pc with Windows 2000 pro and I'll post the result! -
Trying to delete iPhoto 6 thumbsegment.data files crashes Mac OS 10.4
Summary:
Whenever I try to delete any of the thumb files from the iPhoto directory on my internal hard drive or my external backup drive, it crashes the computer (screen scrolls dark then says "Have to restart, hold button for several seconds" in multiple languages). This is true if I try to delete any single file or if I try to delete all the files (thumb32segment.data, thumb64segment.data, thumbJPGsegment.data). The panic message is:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102854): jnl: transaction too big (1582592 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x2733f7c bp 0x280286d0)
The actual "transaction too big" numbers can vary. All my software is current as of last night. I'm running 10.4.6 and I have 150G drive with +10G free space, 1.25 GHz, 1GB memory.
Background:
I'm one of the people who experienced the extraordinarily sluggish version of iPhoto 6. In trying to fix it, I rebuilt my system from the hard drive up (including reinstalling everything)--no good. Apparently it was a known bug, a fix came out and my world was better. Until I tried to back up iPhoto.
I back up to an external hard drive by dragging and dropping.
1) Once I was sure the patch worked, I dragged the iPhoto folder from my internal drive to my backup drive...and the system crashed.
2) Figuring it was the old, buggy version causing the problem I dragged the old, external backup iPhoto folder to the trash and tried to empty the trash...and the system crashed.
3) After a file-by-file test, I determined it was the initial 2 thumbs (thumb32 and thumb64) from the buggy version causing the problem. One of the reasons I pay the Mac premium is because I don't want to be a sys admin, but nonetheless I went to Ihnatko's Mac OS X book and found the sudo command for forcing the trash to empty files (sudo chflags nouchg ~/.Trash/*), executed the command, emptied the trash...and the system crashed.
4) So I moved the old thumbs into a different folder on my external drive and dragged and dropped a backup. No problem. Until I tried to do it a second time after my next update to iPhoto and...the system crashed.
So now I have:
* old external backup (thumb32, thumb64)
* new external backup (thumb32, thumb64, thumbJPG)
* new internal source (thumb32, thumb64, thumbJPG)
and I can't backup or delete any of these files without the system crashing.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of the extraneous thumb files and get back to doing a simple drag-and-drop backup without crashing my system? (And yes, I've learned my lesson not to be an early adopter of iLife...but that doesn't help me now.)
FWIW, I'm having another problem with iPhoto or iTunes/iPod whereby iTunes/iPod has stopped recognizing iPhoto albums (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=530034&tstart=0). This happened long after the problem I've described here, but I'm including the link in case it's helpful.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)Good morning Old Toad.
I did as you suggested:
1) Booted from install CD.
2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
So there's no change in my status.
I'm trying to delete the files because:
A) They already take .5 Gb.
B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

Delete data from a flat file using PL/SQL -- Please help.. urgent
Hi All,
We are writing data to a flat file using Text_IO.Put_Line command. We want to delete data / record from that file after data is written onto it.
Please let us know if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
VaishaliThere's nothing in UTL_FILE to do this, so your options are either to write a Java stored procedure to do it or to use whatever mechanism the host operating system supports for editing files.
Alternatively, you could write a PL/SQL procedure to read each line in from the file and then write them out to a second file, discarding the line you don't want along the way. -
How to delete data from flat file ?
Hi all,
I deleted a record from a tables and I want to delete it from data file.
Can I do it ?
Pls help me !What do you mean by deleting it from datafile ?, Is it flat file or something else you want to ask? I believe you have records in flat files and you want to delete them as soon as you load them into oracle table.Oracle dosent offer such facility, however you can syncronise your tables and flat file contents by using merge statements and update it in a fashion, so that only records which reflects in flat files syncronises with table in oracle database .

Hi there,
I am having a real battle trying to delete data from a text file I am using. There seems to be this giant cloud with Java, where there is no real easy way to delete text from a file??
I have a JFrame with two textfields on it where you enter the username and pcname. There is a OK button once you have entered those details.
On action event I would like those two details, to be removed from the text file that has been read in.
I have a text file like this:
bob
pc1
bill
pc2
The data above gets written no problem, one at at a time using the below.
File f = new File("\\c:\\filename.txt");
String strToWrite;
try
FileOutputStream fstr = new FileOutputStream(f);
strToWrite = username1+ '\r'+'\n' ;
byte[] bytes = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes);
strToWrite = pcname1 + '\r'+'\n' ;
byte[] bytes2 = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes2);
strToWrite = username2+ '\r' +'\n' ;
byte[] bytes3 = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes3);
strToWrite = pcname2 + '\r'+'\n' ;
byte[] bytes4 = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes4);
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());
To read them back in I have made the follwoing:
BufferedReader br= null;
Count = 0;
try
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("\\c:\\filename.txt")));
String s = "";
while((s=br.readLine()) != null )
Count = 1;
//System.out.println("Data is " + s);
inboundtext = s;
if ( Count == 1 )
break;
while((s=br.readLine()) != null )
//System.out.println("Data is " + s);
inboundtext = s;
Count = 2;
if ( Count == 2 )
break;
catch(IOException ie)
finally
try
if(br!=null) br.close();
catch(Exception e)
Now the above I know, is reading each line of the text file one at a time.
Now what I would like is that when the text that we got from the textfields, using getText(), be removed from the file without destroying the rest of the records in there? Why is it so easy to add and replace files, but not do any deleting from them?
please help!!sorry, FileOutputStream fstr = new FileOutputStream(f);
should be FileOutputStream fstr = new FileOutputStream(f, true); -
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).
Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details. -
If data files are deleted, can they be recovered from the control file?
It depends on what is in the datafiles in the tablespaces, if they actually contain data, if they are the only datafiles for the tablespace, etc.
Let's assume that they are the only datafiles for the tablespace and segments have allocated and used space in them.
If the segments are index segments, you can recreate the indexes from the data that currently exists in the table.
If the segments are table segments, you will need to recreate the data either by hand or extracting it from another source.
If no segment has allocated space in the datafile, you should be able to offline the datafile. If this works, it is a good idea to migrate the segments to a new tablespace and then drop the tablespace (unless it is SYSTEM) as Oracle does not like offline datafiles and it will become a maintenance hassle.
If you do not have a backup, do you have a recent export?
Once you have addressed the immediate issues of reconstructing the data, you need to address the issues of backups (you should at least backup the database periodically even if you don't run in archivelog mode) and security (no one should be dropping live data files).

Outlook 2010 Data files have reached maximum size and can't delete.
This is the message I get whenever I try to send/rec mail.. it is also the message that I get when I try to delete any messages, whether from inbox, sent items, or deleted... just seems locked up. This is not enterprise or Exchange server this is from my
wife's home office. I have been playing around with this for hours, and still get the same message and still dead in the water.. Please help! I am running windows 7home.
I was attaching the photo.. but won't take it until verified. "The Outlook data file C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst has reached the maximum size. To redude the amount of data in the file, permanently delete some items that
you no longer need. You could also consider using the new Outlook data file (.pst) introduced with Outlook 2003 that provides greater capacity for storing items and folders.
Thanks,
Cashmando07Hi,
You can try compacting the data file:
Go to File tab -> Account Settings -> Account Settings
-> Data Files tab, double click on the data file -> Under
General tab, click on the Compact Now button ->
OK.
This will reduce the size of your Outlook data file. Then you can test if any items can be deleted from the .pst file.
More information about the size limit for both (.pst) and (.ost) files in Outlook, please refer to the kb below:

why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics
Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.
