Deleted a user but did not save any space

I used migration assistant some time ago and accidentally created a second user in the process. It took me several months to transfer all my files from the secondary user to the admin user (approximately 175 gigs worth) and I finally finished today.
I then deleted the secondary user (picked the bottom option), but did not see any decrease in size even though I selected the option to delete the users files.
I hunted around and found an old user profile but when I selected info on the file, I noticed that it was very small.
I am not sure where these files are hidden, but I definitely want to delete them permanently.
Any suggestions on how to clear this up would be greatly appreciated.

When you delete a user account you have four options. The last one is to remove it completely. The other three allow you to retain it or archive it. The last option is not the default. So the account is still in your /Users/ folder, probably in a folder named Deleted Users. Drag to the Trash then empty.

    If you had never saved the file at any time, you have lost your work.
    Go to;  Apple Menu > Force Quit
    Start a new presentation, and from now on, after adding the first object to the slide, save the file.

  • I am having an old ID on apple but did not have any type of card so what your problem

    I am having an old ID on apple but did not have any type of card so why can not I use it

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.

    That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try '''restoring''' that file?

    Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.
    As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:
    A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a '''"uri"''' string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.
    B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.
    Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field.

    I am having difficulties with iBook it went blank! I uninstalled it am now waiting for it to reload over wifi any suggestions how long this takes? I am on holiday and don't have computer access I have been waiting an hour any suggestions please

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • I joined the cloud, but did not see any of the new bells and whistles in photoshop CS6

    I joined the cloud today and was looking forward to the new stuff in photoshop.  I currently own CS6 stand alone.  I opened an image and none of the new options(advanced sharpening, bridge as a filter, etc) were there.  I did click update when on the photoshop CS6 app when I downloaded a couple of the new apps.  What should I do to get a version of CS6 that has all of the advancements???

    I have it solved.  I know about the update for Lightroom in June, but the cloud version of photoshop has plenty of new features and "bells & whistles".  I had a plain vanilla photoshop CS6 that I purchased a year ago.  I updated to the cloud yesterday and the only action available for Photoshop was update.  I did & it was the same old plain vanilla... no 3D( I didn't have extended), liquify and blur gallery could not be used with smart filters, etc., etc.  I was supposed to get that with the cloud.  I figured it out during a restless night.  I uninstalled CS6, opened the application manager and reinstalled the CS6.  Then I went into the help menu of the new extended version(3d now) and updated.  I now have all of the new features and "bells & whistles" I was supposed to get when upgrading to the cloud.  I am sure there are others in the same boat or will be soon.  Adobe should see about correcting this in some way.  Complete upgraded version should be available after one pushes the upgrade, even if they have a lesser version(non-extended) available.

  • TS4425 I tried this on my iPad.  The but did not get any terms and conditions.  Photo stream works fine on the iPad but not on Apple TV.  What do I do?

    Followed the instructions but they don't work.  On the iPad I got no new T&Cs and it works fine.  So I have no means to agree the new T&Cs and because of that it does not work on Apple TV. 

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • Downloaded Photos but did not save, all lost?

    I'm new to iPhoto and to my Nikon CoolPix995 Camera.  I transfered 63 pictures to iPhoto and, thinking they  were on my computer,  erased them from my camera.  I've searched all my gif, tiff, pic, picture, etc., files in my Finder without any luck.
    Is there a chance they are in a cache somewhere?

    Thanks so much LaaryHN.  There's much to be learned on this "Nikon CoolPix995" or any modern "shoot and download" camera, especially when you're (I'm) used to shooting from my cell phone and sending it to my email.    Which can become quite expensive if you're a pix bug.  Or so my son tells me, -- he pays the phone bills, i guess that's why he gave me the camera. 

  • BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter with private key - Did not poll any files

    Hello, 
    We have a requirement to connect SFTP secure site with the private key and polling files.   Initially I have
    tested BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter receiver Port using  Bitvise SSH SFTP Server tool and it was working perfectly in our local network environment( with public private key authentication).
    However when we connected to Client SFTP server with private key authentication, It successfully connected to SFTP Server but
    did not poll any files from SFTP Site.  I added only one file to SFTP Server ( 145 kb file) for testing purpose.
    However BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Send Adapter is working well with the same configuration.
    I could not find any errors in Event viewer also.  I can download\upload file using WinSCP tool .
    So I downloaded nSoftware SFTP Adapter trial version and deployed on server. nSoftware SFTP adapter  is also working find
    without any issues for Client SFTP Site.
     This is the configuration on SFTP Receive Adapter
    This is how SFTP Server download folder permission configured. I have got this details using WinSCP tool. 
    <o:p></o:p>
    Appreciate your help on this.<o:p></o:p>
    Thanks<o:p></o:p>
    PrabathD<o:p></o:p>

    BizTalk Adapter for SFTP is where the polling logic is implemented. It is not part of the SFTP Client logic. any SFTP Client is for User Interaction and you do what you want/when you want.
    The BizTalk Receive however is for purposes of automation and the adapter polls the receive location using the credentials every polling interval to check for the files matching the filter. When it find a file, it will read and publish to message box or
    submit to pipeline for processing. Your setting the polling interval to 0 (ZERO) might actually be disabling the polling.
    Set your poll interval to a non-zero value and check the behavior.
    Regards.

  • Hi.  I down load all of my pictures to iPhoto.  I was removing some even folders to make room, but DID NOT delete any of the ones I needed (and there are a lot of photos as I am a photographer just starting out).  All of my photos are gone.  ALL of them.

         Can anyone help me.  All of my photos from iPhoto are gone.  There are three weddings that I photographed and may other sessions (I am a brand new photographer and this is going to kill my business).  I am so sick to my stomach.  I was deleting some even files due to the fact that the start up disk was almost full but DID NOT delete everything.  I finished what I was doing and then went to dinner.  I came home to do more editing and EVERYTHING is gone.  EVERYTHING, but the iphoto program was still there.  Is there any chance that these pictures could still be somewhere on the hard drive?
    Thank you,
    Kari

    Did you use the finder to delete any photos that are in iPhoto?
    If so you have trashed your library - you choices are to put it back EXACTLY like it was, restore your backup or start over (right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, drag the masters folder to the desktop, create a new library and start importing
    NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - ONLY use iPhoto to manage yoru photos

    I have updated my iPod and it deleted everything including my photos and I did not save my photos on any other device, How do I get them back?

    You didn't import all of your pics regularly?  Particularly before an update?
    They may very well be gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.
