Delete Frameworks Folder?

In HD/System/Library I have a folder called "Frameworks that's taking up about 1.5GB of space. What is it? Can I delete it safely?
Thanks,
Stew

What is it?
Click here for information.
Can I delete it safely?
No, and you can't delete anything else in /System/ safely either.

  • Accidentally deleted /System/Library/Framework/GSS.framework folder

    Hi, I am a Programming student. While I was installing some Libraries, I accidentally deleted /System/Library/Frameworks/GSS.framework folder. It's in the trash folder and I can't reverse my actions without administrative authentication? Will I be able to install the missing Libraries off the installation disk?
    Thanks

    Boot into your Recovery Volume and re-install Lion. It will be an install "in place" and shouldn't touch any of your files but hopefully restore the missingg directory. Also, hopefully you will be able to authenticate there.

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader fighting for Safari frameworks folder...

    We manage hundreds of Macs of which most are at 10.4.8.
    We have both Acrobat Pro and Reader 7.0.8 installed on all Macs.
    Sometime within the last few weeks something has changed on our systems (eg: upgrading from something under 10.4.8 to 10.4.8) that is causing Acrobat Pro and Reader to fight for the Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/ folder. This folder contains aliases to either Pro or Reader frameworks within that Acrobat app's own frameworks folder (...Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Frameworks/)
    This issue is that the end user is prompted to authenticate for either Reader or Pro to "repair itself" which it is just changing the aliases within the Safari Frameworks folder to point to their own frameworks.
    If I set Preview as the default pdf viewer and then delete Acrobat Reader so that only Preview and Acrobat Pro are on the client, then it seems to work beautifully without authentication request. We would like to keep Reader on the systems though. We use Sassafras' Keyserver with a limited number of licenses for Acrobat Pro.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Found a solution, etc?
    Thanks!

    I agree with rikbarry - I finally reinstalled Acrobat, then ran the 
    update to 9.4.5. The updater took nearly an hour to finish which can't 
    be normal, but the software appears to be the correct version now.
    I work for a very small graphic design company and use an older emac 
    that has pretty much reached its shelf life for many apps and OS. 
    Could my aging computer be contributing to the problem?
    Because we depend heavily on pdf workflow, I chose to reinstall 
    WITHOUT running the uninstaller first, as the 9.4.4 version was at 
    least still functioning. I was somewhat surprised that it worked, and 
    I am NOT looking forward to the next updater.

  • ITunes deletes symlinked folder on Album Artist rename

    Hello community,
    I experience a very strange behavior of iTunes in combination with Symlinked folders. I use Windows 7 and my folder structure is listed below. I have a Laptop with a 256GB SSD and instead DVD-Drive a 640GB SATA drive.
    Drive layout:
    C: System (Windows Drive)
    D: UserProfile (also symlinked to D:\Username
    E: Media
    My iTunes DB is about 170GB large including media of all kind. I spread the iTunes Media subfolders among several drive, because I want iTunes to start up very fast, but playing music and syncing my iPhone would not benefit from the fast SSD Drive so I don't want to waste the valuable fast space.
    Now when I change the Album Artist of an album iTunes kills/deletes my Music symlink folder after completing the first rename and show the rest of the album as missing files (with the ! in front)
    I have discovered that this only happens when iTunes tries to rename/move folders like it does if the Album artist is changed.
    I have already tried restricting the permission to the symlinked folder to read even with deny write permissions, but it manages to delete the folder everytime.
    I have used a folder junction instead also. All without joy.
    The owner of the folder is the Administrators group which my user is a member of. There are several reason I cannot work a a regular user and I do not want to change that.
    So did anyone experience this and knows why this is the case? I would be glad to know. Thanks for everybody investing a thought
    Sorry for this text monster, but this really bugs me.
    Best regards Bruce
    P.S. Maybe Apple will here my whining and look into this behavior also.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    iTunes and symlinks don't play nicely... They work OK as long as iTunes is only reading data but get all confused when iTunes tries to write back. I recommend you just put the whole library on a drive big enough to hold it all in one go.

  • Remove caches file's automatically if you delete a folder from your drive???

    Gday,
    First off all sorry for my poor/bad English.
    When i remove/delete a folder in bridge, where will by the cache file of this folder??
    Does it also Remove/delete automatically, ????
    Or should I in the preferences box, tick on the (automatically Export Cache to folders when possible) option???
    Already many Thanks,
    Henry

    As the others say, no, the backup copy won't be deleted immediately, but it will eventually.
    If you want to delete all backups of a selected item, such as for space or security reasons, see #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Items are not moved to the deleted items folder when they expire

    Hey
    I have Exchange 2010 Server (Version: 14.01.0438.000) and configured a retention policy with one retention tag for the
    inbox that moves items after 365 days to the deleted items folder. I have assigned this policy to one Mailbox to see if it works. It doesn't. :)
    All Items are "stamped" correctly with a expiry date. And the Messages show now "This item is expired" for example:
    I made the Policy a week ago and waited to see if the items will be moved but nothing happen until today. The Application Log shows no errors or warnings. I already used "Start-ManagedFolderAssistant"
    multiple times....
    what is wrong here? And how do i track the problem down?
    i also checked all the other threads regarding the same or alike issues. But couldn't find anything that would halp me.

  • Finder resets itself to default local folder when I delete a folder from a server. How can I stop this?

    Hello there,
    At work I use a Mac Pro (like this one: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.8-2008-s pecs.html)... and I have a very weird problem that is really annoying.
    I don't have the information (but I can get it tomorrow) on the operating system or any information of the server I am having the issues with. But I was hoping maybe some one else with the same issue might have the answer without all of that information.
    We use the server to access, open, edit, save, delete, move, etc... all of the files we are currently working on.  No files are ever transfered to our local computer's hardrive and then copied back to the server (don't ask me why, and don't tell me to do that, this is how it's done in the office, and this is what I have to do)...
    The issue is this.  When I have to delete a folder from the server, which is usually a folder within a folder, and maybe within another folder, and another, and another (meaning it takes me time to look for this), the Finder deltes the folder (and asks if I am sure I  want to delete it, because it will be deleted forever since I am deleting it from the server)... and when I say yes, the Finder window that I am currently on (the folder which contains the folder that I am deleting) reverts back to the initial "device-folder" for my local mac pro... meaning the folder which is the main folder of that mac pro, where I can see the mac pro's hard drive, any external hardrives, any usb pen drives, any cds, etc...
    So EVERY TIME I delete a folder on the server, which is more than 30 times a day, I get "kicked out" of the foler which contains the folder to be deleted, and gows back to tha "main" folder of my computer, so I have to go back to the server, back to the folder, and sometimes it is a folder, within a folder, within a folder, etc, etc, etc, ... and don't tell me the solution is to create a shortcut on my sidebar for that folder, because the folders are the jobs that I may be working on that day, so I could work on as many as 30 different folders per day, and I do have those in my sidebar, but it is still pretty annoying to have to go back to that folder.
    One thing I noticed... SOMETIMES, not all the times... IF I delete two folders instead of one, it won't do it... or IF I drag the folder to the trash, instead of clicking on my "delete" icon on my finder's toolbar, it won't do it... but this is only SOMETIMES. So these are not the solutions either.
    I can try to get a screen cap tomorrow of the issue, but if anyone has this same issue and knows how to fix it, plese let me know.
    I will also try to get more info on my computers OS and the server.
    Thank you,
    MW

    I've created a folder in Documents To called Song Lyrics. In that folder I have several 100 songs with lyrics. Now I want to delete the folder but there is no delete button. I can delete each song individually but that doesn't delete the folder itself. How can I delete the folder?

    I'm no expert when it comes to Docs To Go but I'm wondering if pressing and holding the folder for a second or two will bring up a Delete option. Just a thought.

  • How to delete the folder VOLUMES on the main drive?

    Leopard creates a folder called Volumes on the root with aliases to external hard disks. I can delete the folder but as soon as I connect to the local network server, the folder Volumes appears again with an alias to the hard disk in the server. How do I permanently delete this folder? My Dock grid list is totally ruined by this folder. I was used to 5 folders on the root. Now it's six and I don't want that. I never had this annoying folder and I didnt do anything except for the 10.5.4 update. I also have no file or folder sharing active. The Volume folder also (re)appears when I connect an external USB disk. pls help

    A problem I have with this folder is that although it is an alias, sometimes when I do file transfers (such as receiving large amounts of photographs via pando etc.), as well as downloading the file to the external drive, as I have instructed it, is stashes the same file in the "Volumes" folder, and over time it can really start to eat away at the disc space. (I only recently discovered this recently and was this able to free up about 12 GB of disk space). I am pretty sure this is abnormal behavior for this folder, but I don't have any idea where to look to find what the problem is. Any idea what might be causing this, and how I can stop it doing it? It isn't catastrophic, now that I know, because I can periodically go and clear it out, but the eroding disk space caused me lots of problems until I discovered that this is what was causing it.

    Thanks,

    I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
    Old method is
    declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
        set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
        EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
        EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER 
    Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist  system stored procedure
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
      RETURNS INT
    AS
    BEGIN
      DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
      EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
      RETURN @file_exists
    END
    GO
