Deleted email still appears

Does anyone have this intermittent problem? I delete email messages and a few days later they reappear in the iPad mail accounts. I don't see a "fix" in settings.,,

There is no fix for that in the mail settings. something "wonky" is going on with the mail app. Try these three generic troubeshooting tips. Try the third one first.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and other recent/open apps ..... Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I can not delete emails that appear in the search of my iPhone 4S. They are not in any of the mail folders or on the server. How can I do it?

Deleted emails still on my server - where do they go?

Sorry if this is an old topic; I read a buttload of threads about deleting and still have barely scratched the surface but am too impatient to read any more, and still haven't found my exact issue.
When I manually delete an email (which moves it to my trash) and then I either manually delete it from the trash or select "Erase Deleted Messages" from the Mailbox menu, the email appears to be totally gone from Mail but it is still on my ISP's mail server. I know this because my account is merged with a web-based email account from the same company, and they tell me they use the same server and mailbox for both accounts. When I do the deletes described above in Mail and then log onto the web-based account that uses the same server, the email is still there. So how can the email be totally deleted from Mail and yet still be on the server? Is it hiding in the Library somewhere? Will it eventually be removed from the server at the time specified in my prefs' "mailbox behaviors" under "erase deleted messages when"? If I didn't happen to have this back door for noticing that emails are still on the server, how would I know if deleted messages were really removed from the server? And if it is eventually removed from the server, will it still be hiding somewhere on my hard disk?
In case it matters: I have not created any mailboxes of my own in Mail. As far as I can tell I do have anything going on "on my mac", if I understand that term correctly as it is used in Mail.
BTW if I delete emails automatically by checking the advanced prefs checkbox for "remove copy from server after receiving a message", that does remove them from the server, unlike the manual delete procedures I described above.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail 2.0,7
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I see the "Remove now" button next to that checkbox--exactly
what messages does that button remove? The current message?
All messages? Just the ones that don't have a blue dot next to them?
The Remove Now button removes ALL messages available at the incoming mail server for the account.
To remove an individual message from the server, select the button at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer which has a gear icon.
At the bottom of the menu window that appear, select Get Info.
Select the POP via the Account selection - the account will be already selected if you are accessing a single account with the Mail.app.
Under the Messages On Server tab at Show Messages, All messages on POP server should be selected.
The window below will reveal all messages currently available on the server. You can select an individual message or multiple messages and then the Remove From Server button.

Deleted emails re-appearing in inbox (thousands at a time)

I haven't found an answer to this in previous threads, but if I've missed it, please do point me in the right direction.
I'm using Mail 1.3.11 on my iBook G4 (OSX 10.3.9). My account is linked to a POP Yahoo mail account and a couple of others.
I'm having a problem that re-occurs every so often. After trying to be good and clearing out my inbox, Mail will (without prompting or anything) start 'downloading' all the emails again--though i don't think it is really downloading them from the Yahoo account. Hundreds, if not thousands, of emails re-appear in my inbox. I think it is dredging them up from some file on my computer; it reads "indexing 1 of 4577" etc. and the process also takes a while and makes the computer slow.
this has happened about 4 times in the last few months and it's quite disheartening! I've made a backup of my mail folder already after reading a few posts on similar-sounding problems.
any guidance would be very much appreciated!!
BA

Yes, thank you for your reply. I went through my Inbox on my Mac mail application (using the viewer window), and then selected all the emails i didn't want anymore, then clicked the delete key. I'd select a few at a time, then delete, etc.
At one point I worried that leaving these messages in my inbox on my Yahoo account would be the root of the problem; however, I did at one point move all of those messages to a separate folder so they are no longer in my Yahoo inbox, and the problem has occurred since I took this measure.
Let me know if I am not being specific enough--happy to elaborate.

Deleted emails still shows in my inbox

My inbox still shows unread emails eventhough i have deleted it. And my inbox is empty and there are no emails.

Mylan,
If you aren't, you will need to change your phone to use the IMAP protocol, as Allan mentioned, to get what you want... If you are switching protocols from POP to IMAP, you might have to manually clean out your phone inbox, before it starts working.
However, the original problem I mentioned where the inbox is not updated EVEN using IMAP still exists and has only existed since the last iOS update... To restate: emails in the inbox on the phone still show up even after Outlook on the PC has removed them from the mail server. This is proven by looking at the mail server using the web interface to ensure the emails really are not in the in box.
However, I have noticed one thing. The email list on the phone will update as soon as a new email shows up in the inbox.
That is, there are emails in the inbox and the phone shows them. The emails are removed from the inbox using Outlook or web interface. The emails still show on the phone even though it says "updated now". Pulling down on the inbox making it refresh several times does nothing. Then a new email arrives in the inbox and the phone updates properly showing only the new email.
Additionally, going to the email account settings on the iPhone, turning some things off and on, and then going back to the inbox will also cause it to finally correctly refresh.

Deleted site, still appears in SCCM 2012 console status: deleting...

Hi i recently encountered a problem after deleting a secondary site, but it seems to happen only under my user account on the primary site console, here's the thing
I deleted the site, and the log shows that the site was succesfully deleted, i connected to the server and the logs are ok, and the registry no longer has any SMS keys left to delete, and in programs files, both the configuration manager files, and the sql
files were also deleted/uninstalled correctly, but in my console, the site still appears as Deleting...
Note that I was the one who created it in the first place, and apparently I'm the only one who can still see it..., I open the console in both, the primary site server, and on my computer, and it shows as deleting, under Administration > sites configuration
> sites, and I can still see the server on the site and site sistem roles, and that's it, and if I switch to the Central Site, is not there, which I guess is good
I checked on both my colleagues, and they don't see the site anywhere, just me under my user account connected to the primary site
Now, i did ran the Preinst /DELSITE command and it says that it couldn't find the data base for the site, which is good as well
Part of the problem is that, I have to re-install the site, and if I run the setup connected to the primary site under my account, it says that the name already exists (i have to re-use the site code as per request) and if I run the same setup but
connected to CAS or a colleague does it on primary or cas, the setup continues without the warning saying that the site code already exists
So I would just like to find a way to delete it from my console or find the reason that's causing it, to avoid further conflics for that secundary site

Comcast deleted emails still apear on my ipad

how come deleted comcast emails still show up on my ipad? thanks

Nah,
Take the fact that Mail on Ipad can't show all my 600 folders. It actually shows more if I slide down, but it then bounces up ~5 folders as if the list was empty.
The developers didn't think anyone could have that many folders, and I'm not surprised if they haven't tried with +40.000 mails.
I made a softlink to my inbox-file. Now I do have the exact same content in my Inbox folder and my InboxLinkFolder. On my Ipad the InboxLinkFolder shows the correct content. But the Inbox folder shows emails that are deleted. The Inbox sync functionality must have some "too smart algorithm".
Onother way for me too prove the error could be to delete the account, then recreate the account. If the Inbox isn't the same for the new account then the Mail app has a bug. But I don't feel for doing that.
Other IMAP clients I've used recently: Thunderbird, K-9 (android), Alpine (linux). All those works with the inbox, but not the Mail-app.

Why do deleted files still appear in Finder

Even after i move the files to Trash and empty the trash, the files still appear in finder. If I click on them I get some message indicating they aren't there or can't be found, but how do i get deleted files not to appear in finder. If I deleted them to clean up my docs, i don't want them anymore. It gets harder to clean up files when i keep seeing the files i already cleaned out and put to trash.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can only delete those files which you create yourself. If these are system files you are trying to trash, you'll need special permissions to delete them. Be careful though, if you trash the wrong files, you'll leave your system nonfunctional.
My software Force Empty Trash, or the competitor, Mac OS X Cocktail both can trash files created on the boot hard drive and override the permissions that may lock those files from deletion. Cocktail can trash more than my software can. But I would only use it for trashing stuff, and not cache cleanup, nor any other tool, without consulting a Mac expert. Cache cleanup of system cache can be very dangerous, and cause applications not to be able to launch anymore, including system applications. The link to my software*:

I also have reference there to where you can get Cocktail.

Deleted music still appearing

I purchased music on my iPhone 6 to later download onto my iPod. My iPod has all of the music on it but now I want to remove it from my iPhone. I tried swiping and hitting delete but it still appears as if it is still on the phone. I plugged it into my computer and I says that there is no music on the phone yet when I got to my purchased music in the iTunes store is shows that the music is still there (image below) Any ideas on how to completely remove all music?

I am having the exact same problem not only with my iphone but also with my ipad.

N97: Deleted images still appear as thumnails

I deleted some images and videos from my N97 using the Mass Memory connection via my PC.
They are definitely gone from the phone, however they are still showing up in the photo app on the phone. When I click on the thumbnail of a photo, I even get a detailed view, but after trying to zoom in the photo app crashes. I can't delete the image, the error message says "general system error".
For videos that show up in the photo app, when I select them it says "Unable to connect to server: File not found".
Also, trying to delete the thumbnail results in the same general error.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
MB
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this... Connect your N97 using Mass Storage mode. If you have Windows, open up the drive associated with the N97 under My Computer. Before going anywhere, make sure you have your Windows Explorer set to show hidden files as well. Go to Tools > Folder Options > View. Somewhere in there you'll see a branch called "Hidden files and folders". Select "Show hidden files and folders". Hit Apply and Ok.
Now, you'll see in your mass storage drive a folder called "Private". Open Private > 101ffc31. Then delete glxmdstn. Unplug your phone, and re-open your Photos app. See if that helps. (Weird thing is that even if you use Y-browser and have it signed with the full 17-capability certificate, the Y-browser still can't see this Private folder! So no use trying to find the folder or file in Y-browser.)
Caveat: There is a slight bug with the N97. If you have apps installed to the built-in bigger drive, while connected in mass storage mode, all your apps installed there will disappear, as if you lost your apps. Not to worry, that's because in mass storage mode, the phone OS is prevented from accessing that internal drive. Once you unplug the USB cable, everything will go back to normal. This is not a bug, but the bug is this:
If you have your Messaging app set to store messages in this internal drive ("E: mass memory"), then after unplugging the phone, your Messaging app will seem like you have lost all your text messages and mailboxes. Before you freak out, do not try to rebuild your mailboxes. The data is still in the internal drive. Simply go to the Messaging app > Options > Settings > Other and change the "Memory in use" back to "E: Mass memory". Go back to your Messaging app, and all your SMS and mailboxes and emails will be back there. The only thing is that if you have the email widget set in your home screen, then you'll have to choose a default Mailbox again. This is an annoying bug...
If the above solution helps, I wouldn't mind the kudos. ;-)

Deleted emails re-appear on device, but not On Exchange

Hello,
Suddenly on the blackberry 8300 old emails that have been deleted reappear on inbox, and they not reappear on the exchange server.
Ihave the BES 4.1 and the exchange server 2003
Can anyone help me?
Best Regards,
João Trindade

Hi thundertrinas
Is it possible that these are filed messages? The icon for a filed message is different than the icon for an email. In your messages folder, click your menu key, options, general options and set hide filed messages to yes. If the messages disappear then this is the case.
If they are indeed email, then were they deleted on the BlackBerry, in Outlook, both? Do they appear as new messages or do they appear in the right sequence with your other messages? If they appear as new messages, open one and scroll to the top and see what it is received using - BES messages should be coming from desktop.
Things you could try(try one at a time to see if it alleviates the problem):
1- Delete the desktop[cmime] service book - On the BlackBerry, go to options, advanced options, service book. Highlight the desktop[cmime] service book, hit the menu button and select delete. Get your BES admin to resend your service books.
2- Clear the messages database - This will erase all email from your BlackBerry. Plug the BlackBerry into the computer and start the Dekstop Manager. Go into backup and restore, and click backup and then save. When the backup is done, click advanced. On the right hand side highlight messages and click clear and then ok.
3- Security wipe device and reactivate - You should back up the device before doing this by following the steps in number 2 as this will erase all information on the BlackBerry (most you will get back when you reactivate). Go to options, security options, general settings. Click your menu button, select wipe handheld and follow the prompts. When the wipe is complete ask your BES admin to send you a new Enterprise Activation password and reactivate the handheld.
If none of that works, please give more details.
Cheers!

Deleted emails still found by spotlight

If I search with Spotlight on my Iphone using an (partial) email address or keyword, my entire mail history with such an address turns up on my Iphone including emails i have deleted. I even removed the mail account in whole, but the data still turns up. The emails (including entire back and forth conversations) don't even exist anymore on any mail server. Is there a way to delete this information permanently from my Iphone?

What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
Deleting the index
I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

How do i get rid of a contact that has been deleted but still appears in the messages box

I deleted a contact in my phone book but I noticed that when I go to send someone a text that person is still there and I sooo do not want to see that anymore...how do you delete that??

The device remembers recently used items. If you deleted the contact and don't use it again the device will eventually forget that contact. Patience is the key here.

Deleted music still appears on N96

Hope someone can shed some light on my problem. I transfered some music onto the N96 from WMP but not all of it was recognised, even after refreshing the library.
So I deleted the incomplete albums from the phone using the file manager. But when I go to the music player some of the deleted songs are still shown.
How do I clear them off the phone so I don't see them listed in the music player?
Any help much appreciated.

Do you mean if they're still there in the playlists? In that case, you have to remove them from the playlists.
