Deleted Files path from HardDisk ( FAT / NTFS ) in C#

I have been trying to find a method to providing path(location) of deleted files from storage drives (Hard Disk, Removable drives etc.) 
Does anyone know any classes/methods for finding deleted files, retrieving them or any tutorials or helps on the matter. 

Look in the recycle bin, e.g.
namespace Samples
using Shell32; // Requires a reference on %SYSTEMROOT%/System32/shell32.dll.
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
Shell shell = new Shell();
Folder recycleBin = shell.NameSpace(10);
foreach (FolderItem2 f in recycleBin.Items())
Console.WriteLine("{1}\t {0}\t {2}", f.Name, f.Type, recycleBin.GetDetailsOf(f, 1));
Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(shell);
Console.WriteLine("Done.");
Console.ReadLine();

  • External hard drive -- old file path from a previous laptop is still where to find my songs,  how do I change?

    My iTunes library is a mess, it is stored on an external hard drive.  My old laptop died unexpectedly and I didn't have a problem resetting the file path for the library on my new laptop.  The other day my son was trying to update his iPod when I wasn't home and I don't know what he did.... GRRRR  Any songs I purchased on my old laptop are now not able to be found.  When I click on 'get info' on a song it shows the old file path from the old laptop.  Songs that I purchased since the new laptop are still playable and great.  I know my songs are still there but I can't seem to get the file path to reset on the old music.  HELP!!! PLEASE

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or an external drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • How to delete file names from Adobe Reader list

    How can I delete file names from the Adobe Reader list?  I have deleted the file & it's empty, but deleted file names remain in my list & it's very annoying.  I can't seem to find an option anywhere to delete the file names.

    Thanks for the answer, I will try this & post my results with this method.  I have set the amount to zero, & it seems if I want to put back valid files into my list I first need to find them in another file in my pc, such as documents, open them in Adobe Reader, & then then they will reappear in the Adobe Reader list.  Is this correct?  Thank you!
    This seems to be the case, you need to restore each file you want in your list one by one by accessing them elsewhere on your pc, & then you must open them with Adobe Reader to have files reappear in your Adobe Reader list.  However, this seems to be a tedious process if you only want to delete one obsolete file from your list by first emptying the list & rebuilding it file by file.  It works, but I'm wondering if there is a more sensible & efficient way to do this?

  • Issue with Getting the file path from InputFile component

    Hi,
    One of our requirement is like below:
    I am working on ADF 11g (latest release R1) page. User will select the file and when he/she clicks on the Save button we need to store the file path in the database.
    In the database file_path is varchar2(300). We need to store just the file path. I am using InputFile component but filepath is not getting inserted.
    This is really urgent. It would be really appreciate if anyone can guide me on this.

    Hi Mahesh,
    I have manage to store the file path from the InputFile component in Jdev 11g. I found the file upload script from this forum and manage to alter it so that i could save the file path to the database. But my problem is to retrieve it back to view as a document. Hope this will help you :)

  • File path from specific directory

    hi all ,
    How to get full file path from specific directory having many folder inside that directory.
    I have file name and main directory name,please help me if you know about it

    I recognize that this post is half a year old at this writing, and the OP has probably long since either solved or abandoned the problem in question. That being stipulated: if I understand the question properly, the OP is stating that there is a directory named A, and contained somewhere within that directory or one (or more) of its subdirectories is one (or more) file(s) named abc.txt, and OP would like to be able to locate and obtain the canonical path to said file(s). While I am in no way a java maven, I've written a brief program which appears to do exactly that:
    import java.io.*;
    public class Main {
        public Main() {
            String whatImLookingFor = "abc.txt";
            String startingDirectory = "A";
            File path = new File("A");
            recursivelySearch(path, whatImLookingFor);
        private void recursivelySearch(File path, String whatImLookingFor) {
            try {
                if (path.isFile()) {
                    if (path.getName().equals(whatImLookingFor))
                        System.out.println(path.getCanonicalPath());
                else
                    if (path.isDirectory()) {
                        File[] currentFiles = path.listFiles();
                        for (int i=0; i<currentFiles.length; i++)
                            recursivelySearch(currentFiles, whatImLookingFor);
    catch(IOException ioe) {
    System.out.println("During search got error "+ioe.getMessage());
    public static void main(String[] args) {

    Hi Anderson,
    if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
    This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
    (so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
    hth,
    kind regards,

  • How to Serialize a file path from client to server?

    I am using serializing concepts in java. I am stuck, that how can i send only file path from client to server?

    Um, ill take a wild guess and say that youre trying to
    access a file on another computer using that path?
    That wont work.
    What could the other computer possible do
    with that path unless both computers are networked to a
    common drive, or if they are networked to each other in a way
    where the root in the file path would point to the same place
    on either computer?

  • How to delete file systems from a Live Upgrade environment

    How to delete non-critical file systems from a Live Upgrade boot environment?
    Here is the situation.
    I have a Sol 10 upd 3 machine with 3 disks which I intend to upgrade to Sol 10 upd 6.
    Current layout
    Disk 0: 16 GB:

    However, the system already has a BE (named s10) and that BE lists
    all of the filesystems, incl the data ones.

    I commented out the entries in /etc/vfstab, also had to remove the files /etc/lutab and /etc/lu/ICF.1
    and then could create the Boot Environment from scratch.
    I was also able to create another boot environment and copied into it,
    but now I'm facing a different problem, error when trying to upgrade.

    BTW, the machine on which the DVD image is happens to be x86 running Sol 10.
    I thought that wouldn't matter, as it is just NFS sharing a directory which has a DVD image.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Deleted Files disappeared from external drive but space is still occupied ( iMac )

    Hello all...
    I have this problem.
    Whenever I delete items from my external hard drive, using iMac (running mavericks), the files disappear from the drive window but their space will be still occupied. if i format the drive using my mac, everything will disappear & the whole drive capacity would be available for use.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Unless you empty the trash while the external is attached, the files will remain in the trash. You will gain back your space after you empty it.

  • How do I delete files permanently from a usb flash key? On my mac (Yosemite 10.10) it's telling me the files are deleted, however on plugging key into television they're still there

    I've a problem I've never come across before and it's how to permanently delete files on a usb flash key? I've just migrated from using Windows for 15 years onto Apple iMac and had been deleting files easily and permanently from the key on Windows without any hassle and thought I'd done the same on my iMac but seemingly they're still there as the tele is showing them when key is plugged in, BUT they can not be seen on iMac. I wondered why the key wouldn't take anymore files after, what I thought was, deletion and now I know why-imac hasn't deleted them!
    I've actually gone into Disk Utility and formatted the key in it's usual FAT32 format to finally delete the files.  Anyone any ideas as to why this happens and how to solve this please?
    Many thanks

    In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
    Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
    ._Files
    Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
    When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
    The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
    You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
    You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

  • DELETING FILES PERMAMNENTLY FROM HARD DRIVE AND PASSWORD PROTECTING

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PERMANENTLY DELETE FILES FROM THE HARD DRIVE? ALSO, WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO ADD A PASSWORD TO A FOLDER?
    THANKS!

    #1) Please check your caps lock key which seems to be on and many perceive as shouting your questions.
    #2) Use secure empty trash when you want secure deleting.
    #3) There isn't a folder password feature. There's a utility which will let you hide folders with a password, but that is easily circumvented. Then there's making password protected, encrypted image files. The second is very secure but it isn't a folder, it appears as a new volume on your desktop.

  • Getting the full file path from FormFile

    Hi, I am reading in a .csv file from my JSP page and I want to pass the String path from my Action class to the logic layer class. When I try and pass it at the moment, it throws an FileNotFound error as it is only passing the file name. i.e
    Passing
    text.csv
    not
    C:\text.csv
    Is there anyway of detirming the full file path using the FormFile class?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, as in Struts.
    I am not trying to upload the file, simply trying to read the contents from the file. My problem is that I want to read the contents from one of my business logic classes, not within my struts Action. I can get it working if I use
    byte[] datainfile = file.getFileData();
    and then send that but the I would prefer to just send the full path to my Business logic class and process everything in there rather than doing some in my Action and some in my logic class.
    So what I would like to put in my Action class is something such as
    processCSVFile(String filePath);
    instead of
    processCSVFile(Byte[] formFile);

  • How to get Deleted File details from Content DataBase?

    Hi,
    I have uploaded one pdf document in to SharePoint Document Library. After some days i have removed it.
    File has removed from Site.
    Does record available in Content Data Base for the deleted file? Which table should i refer?
    Thanks & Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the deleted file record in sql database table.
    If you have backed up the Content Data Base, then you can find the deleted file information in AllDocs andAllDocStreams  table. You need to use "inner join" to get the whole information.
