Delete User selected file

I have a form that allows a user to upload a file to the server. What I need to do next is delete the file from the users computer after upload. I have been looking online and only found mention of file deletion from the server. Any help would be appreciative.

For blindingly obvious security reasons, HTML forms will not allow you to arbitrarily delete files from the user's own computer.

I was told to delete user.js file to stop viewing the "tour" page on start, file does not exist, problem remains

i updated, i start firefox 2 tabs open one is "take the tour" tab the other is google, done the tour, a few times it opens up again every time, start of the healing process by typing in the question '"i keep seeing thr "take the tour"page on startup,then following the steps of the expertise i go to help,trouble blabla and i end up looking for user.js so i delete it or rename in a folder that contains folders and other data that nothing in there is like user.js file, so in the following question that is formed above there was no answer so i stepped into this case (only i had to create an account that was not my desire in the process) , thats all i know of.

So, if you do not have the user.js file then you can rename or delete the prefs.js file (pref.js.sav) to see if that helps.<br />
Windows likely hides the .js and shows them as User and Prefs.
You can also try to delete the compatibility.ini file to force Firefox to reinitialize some other files.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

User Select File Path Before Running Rest of VI?

I am designing a system where data is being acquired and written to 12 data files, and I would like to have the operator have the option of selecting the data path while keeping the filenames of the individual files constant. It is necessary for the data not to be acquired until the operator completes the prompt so the data acquisition and writing are synchronized. How can design my VI to not start the data acquisition and writing the data until the operator has selected the file path?
I've attached my program below. It has a producer/consumer design with two consumer loops. One consumer loop will process and write the data and the other controls a water bath based on the data that is acquired.

NT_Engineer,
Hello! If I understand what you are asking correctly, you just want to have the user select a file path before you start your data acquisition, control, and file writing. Is this correct?
There are multiple ways in which you could do this.
As mentioned previously you could design your VI to operate like a State Machine.
A flat sequence structure could be used to first execute a dialog portion of your code, and then the data acquisition portion.
You could use an event structure to not start your program until a user clicked "Done" button.
Let me know if this is what you were asking.

Delete User - local files

What happens when you delete an LDAP user? We need to make sure the local files on the users workstation are removed also. Is there a way to do this? Or is it done when the user account is deleted.....

How do I delete a previous deleted user's files off my macbook?

I have just bought a secondhand mac from a friend and he did a terrible job of deleting his stuff on here. He deleted his user account but nothing else. I was wondering if there is a way I can delete his home folder as it is taking up all the storage. I have tried everything and I really hope someone can help me. I am running lion!

Make a note of your AppleID and password, then hold command r keys while booting the computer.
Get online with a fast reliable Internet connection.
Chooce Disk Utility and Erase with Zero option the Lion OS X Partition.
When finished, download a new Lion OS from Apple servers, reboot the machine and your presented with a new setup whcih you can then do what you like, it's like a brand new machine.

File open dialog to just get the user selected file name

Hi,
I am working on asynchronous file storage to KPRO through my ABAP WD application. For this asynchronous upload
operation, I just need the file name and file path(not the content). The KPRO servers could be made to use SAPFTP, SAPHTTP in the background to upload documents (triggered via tRFC's).
Is it possible to have a file open dialog (similar to java file open) which just returns the file path and file name instead of the
content? Current fileUpload UI element also loads the content which is not desired behaviour for me (because could be a performance problem with large documents uploading).
Is it possible to select multiple filenames? Thomas Jung's Flash island multiple upload works, but not in my
asynchronous scenario. Because flex fileReferenceList + upload operation works synchronously.

You must remember the START-OF-SELECTION event here, after you select the file name and click F8, the START-OF-SELECTION event is triggered, but if it is not there, nothing will happen.

Deleted user and his invisible files

A program I was running (SageTV) went into its Screen Saver mode and started showing still images that I can't locate with the Finder. The path was something like: /Users/User1/Pictures/iPhoto Library/picture.jpg. I discovered that 'User1' was in the 'Deleted User' folder. What I'm trying to do is locate these invisible files, move them to my active account, and delete these unused folders. Is there any Finder setting that would give me access to the deleted user's files? I have administrator privileges on this computer.

Clearly when the other user account was removed the option to also remove his files was not chosen, so his entire user directory is most likely still intact and available.
I believe if you remember the exact account name, you can restore it and easily access all the files/folders.
You might also run
ls -al /users
and see if the account is there with some other user name or perhaps the original name.
If it is User1, then you can access the files from the terminal and move the ones you want somewhere else, preferably a temporary folder to begin with to avoid any permissions issues.
If, on the other hand, the user's files were removed along with his account, that is something else and an admin account may not have sufficient privileges to access the images or other files still on the system.
Lastly, if all else fails, you can activate the root account and access all the files on the computer, but that should be a last resort.

When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 on Mac, how do I delete all selected photos?

Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 RC on my Mac, using the Filmstrip view, how do I delete all selected files using a shortcut (as opposed to the right-click context-menu > remove selected photos)? Details: Using backspace asks me if I want to delete it, I choose from disk, but it just deletes individual photos, so if I have 3 selected, I need to do this 3 times.

Many users (including me) will thank you for saving us the trouble of looking for this description in the manual. Seriously!
However, if something performs unexpectedly, if it's not a bug, it's at least a user-inconvenience.
When an unexpected result like this occurs in a product, often the documentation writer is given the task of writing the workaround into the docs. That's not a great way to fix bugs permanently, even if it does help in the short term. So, it's probably a good idea to point to where in the documentation it seems that the product-performance problem is smoothed over, when filing the report/request.
Feature enhancement requests and bugs are filed the same way. And, developers do listen to requests. Many features in many Adobe products originated in feature requests. However, product managers and, financial-management folks above them, who have some power to decide where to expend resources, set the priorities. Adobe's new subscription model is supposed to release some of the pressure on developers to meet a new release deadline every-so-often, where a whole bunch of product improvements is revealed, and instead, under the idea of making constant improvements available through more-frequent updates, users will get results sooner.

As far as I know, this is not a bug, this is a feature of Lightroom (although I can't explain why anyone would want Lightroom to operate this way). You can find text in the Lightroom Manual that clearly explains tha operations performed on selection of photos in the Filmstrip is different than the same operation performed on photos selected in the Grid.

Delete only one file from Trash

Hello There,
I do not want to empty my entire Trash folder but only some files which i know I am not going to use it. Is there a way to delete only selected files and not just empty trash...
Thanks in advance for the help..
NA

nAyer,
When I place files in the Trash, I expect that they will be deleted. IMHO Trash is not a good place to store files that I may have second thoughts about eliminating.
I have created a folder which I named "B4 Trash," and placed it on my Desktop. If I really want to throw something away, I put it in the Trash and empty the Trash. If I am not sure about deletion, I place it in B4 Trash and get rid of it at my leisure.
Why not drag all of the files in Trash to a folder you create on your Desktop called B4 Trash, and then drag the files you really want to get rid of back to the Trash. Then empty the Trash.

Full Path of selected File

Hi together,
in our programming project we are facing a problem with
handling of files.
Due to the security it is not possible to handle local files
via flash.
This is what I figured out by searching via google.
But is it possible to get just the full path of a user
selected file?
Scenario
The flash file we are using is embedded in a local stand
alone application,
i.e. it is not on the server and also not embedded in html,
php, jsp, ...
User clicks on a button. A pop-up window displays the
directory structure.
User can navigate to a directory within local drive and
select a file.
Currently we only get the file name like process.pdf
But we also want to have the full path like
C:\Documents\Project1\process.pdf
So we only need this full-path string. We don't want to do
anything with the selected file with flash
How is this possible, to get full file path with flash by
using flex 3?
Thanks a lot
K.K.

Sounds like you need to be using AIR

Opening a Deleted User .dmg?

Hello,
I have a number of old employee Deleted User .dmg files. If I ever need to gain access to these, can I "log in" via this user (somehow by mounting the .dmg file first?) or does this .dmg file just act as an "archive" of the user account so I can access the files contained via finder?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Opening the dmg will provide access to that account's files. Being able to log in to an account requires that there is an entry for that account in the NetInfo database, a subset of which is available in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

A 56 gb .dmg file in my deleted user folder

I have a G5 tower running os 10.3 with 150GB of space. I am running out of room on my had drive because I have a file named melindabeck.dmg (my name) in my deleted users file that is 56 GB.
1. What is this file?
2. Can I get rid of it without endangering my user folder (admin)?
3. How do I delete it?
Thanks, Melinda

Melinda.. it looks like you created a new user account and then deleted the old user account...if everything is ok with the user account you are using...you can delete the old account (drag it to the Trash) ......which is located at....
HD/Users/Deleted (Folder)
Did you do perform similar procedure such as this....
Accounts<Deleting User .... using System Preferences (p29)
• You must be booted up in your Admin account before attempting this.
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151625
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106256
IMPORTANT: If the user's account is encrypted (FileVault is turned on), turn FileVault off for the user before you delete the account.
• You can not delete your Admin Account using this method.
1. Choose System Preferences from Apple Menu and click "Accounts"
2. Select the user account you want to delete and click the minus button in the lower pane
3. A window will pop up asking you if you're sure this is what you want to do. It also gives you a choice as to what should be done
4. If you click "Delete Immediately", the user account will removed.
5. If you click "OK", the account will be removed, and a disk image will be created of the contents of the deleted user account. In case you want to
re-instate the user,The path is:..... HD/Users/Deleted (folder)
6. Your last option is "Cancel" , if you change you mind.

Recovering Files from the Library of a Deleted User

I have been having major problems on a User Account that I copied over from Snow Leopard. So I deleted the User account and intended to only move over the files I needed by leaving the Home folder accessible. But the folders I needed are in the Library and I cannot view the Library.
I ran this command to make the Library viewable,
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
but it only worked on the Active Accounts. I know the data is still there because of the size of the deleted User Account, but I cannot access the files. Any suggestions.

Download the program http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TinkerTool/download.php5 and select the unhide finder items and relaunch finder. Once you do that you can then navigate to the home folder of the deleted user and your Library folder should be visible and able to access your needed files.

Deleting user in Mavericks didn't delete files

I deleted a user account and selected "Delete the home folder." However, once the user was deleted, I didn't regain any hard drive space. I've emptied the Trash. The user's files must be somewhere on Macintosh HD. But where? I want to delete them!
I created the user account in order to temporarily back up my son's iOS device - music/photos/apps/movies came to about 10-12 gb. But the backup should have been in ~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup - no? And should have been deleted when I deleted the user account?

Yes, I downloaded the software and I finally see all accounted for files. It all makes sense now. It turns out that my library, system files, and applications all added up to about 20 gigs, thus there was really no hidden files. Thank you for your help. The application worked and it helped point things out clearly to me.
