Deleting all Desktop to Go Files on Blackberry Torch

I have somehow managed to import via the Documents to Go Desktop a lot of files on my Torch that I didn't want and I want to delete them from it (though keep them in the original place on my computer). I have deleted the folders from the space on the Documents to Go desktop, but can't erase them from the Blackberry Torch - what do I do next?
Regards
Martin
Solved!

You could save another copy of all the affected files on your PC in another location just in case.
If they do get deleted you can just replace them with the copy.

  • How do I batch delete all my protected music files from iTunes.

    Hi, in a moment of stupidity, while I was working on a backup folder of my friends files (from his broken computer - copied them to my PC so he could get them back onto his new PC) I managed to copy all of his songs from his iTunes folder into my iTunes library. I don't know how I managed to do this, maybe it was the fact that I was really tired at the time.
    I own all my music - none of my music is copy protected (it is either downloaded from legal sites where the bands themselves [usually unknown or alternative artists] release their music, or I ripped the music from CD's I bought) and all of his music is copy protected.
    Now thing is, I have upgraded my PC before realising I did this, so now I don't have the original iTunes library (formatted PC and reinstalled XP from scratch) - is there any tools out there that will find and delete all your copy protected files from iTunes?
    I could go through song by song and when it comes up with the "Authorise computer - This computer is not authorised to play "******" Would you like to authorise it" and delete those songs, but as this is a very slow and time consuming process and considering I have 8,551 songs, I would prefer a faster way.
    I would go and re-rip all the songs, as I have the original discs, but this would take very long, and put quite a bit of strain on my CD drive, and this would not account for all the songs I have spent years finding on the internet/demo songs from friends bands.
    Any help is appreciated, as I would love to be able to remove all of his songs so they don't keep popping up in my iTunes library
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    I have never tried this and am not at a computer with iTunes, but can you delete from a Smart Playlist? If so, you could make a smart playlist that shows songs that are of kind Protected ACC. Then select all and delete from that playlist. But I am not so sure if you can delete from a smart playlist.

  • Can't find "Delete all backups of this file " in Time Machine Actions

    I want to free up some space from Time Machine backups, but when I select the folders and go to "actions" the "Delete all backups of <this file>” command that others posters (here) refer to isn't in the Actions drop-down menu. I don't want to just drag them to Trash, but that's the only deletion option. Am I missing something?
    Brian

    Are you doing this via Time Machine, as detailed in #12 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions?
    If so, what options do you see?

  • Does Time Machine Ever Delete All Traces of a File?

    I have a question.  I have read up on Time Machine on various articles, posts, and documents across the web and I am having a hard time understanding exactly how time machine deletes files.
    When a disk is full, does Time Machine ever make the decision to delete the last copy or version of a file, therefore completely erasing it off the disk forever?  I know that Time Machine deletes older versions of files, but will it ever completely delete the last, final backup of a file to make space?  If so, I can't imagine using Time Machine as a true piece of backup software.  It seems like it would be useful in restoring your computer in an emergency, but as far as backing up files, it seems that it would be catastrophic, because it may choose to delete the last remaing version of a file to make space and you end up losing that file for ever.
    Here is an example:
    I create a file X.doc
    Time Machine backs it up.
    I modify X.doc
    Time Machine backs up the copy, keeping both the original and the new copy on the backup drive.
    I modify X.doc yet again.
    Time Machine drive runs out of space. Time Machine deletes the oldest version of X.doc and backs up the new copy.
    I create 10 more files unrelated to X.doc
    Will Time Macine remove all remaining versions of X.doc to make space for the 10 new files???
    I hope I am making sense.

    The worst TM can do is delete all your older copies of files, not the most recent version.
    If the drive is full, then it can't accept any more files period.
    If you had a full 100GB boot drive and a 100GB TM drive, the TM drive would be a copy of the boot drive with no room for saved states.
    If you changed a file on the full boot drive, then TM updates that file on it's full drive, there will be no copy of the previous version of that file.
    TimeMachine makes for a poor pernament backup system, because lets say you do a major files addition to your boot drive, TM backs that up and can go ahead and delete files you realized you accidentially deleted just a few short days ago.
    It's better than nothing and works ok for newbies, but more seasoned types use many backup methods in addition to TM, because corruption creep is possible with TM as well as malware as it's hooked up so often, in a lot of cases all the time.

  • Deleted all my actual music files but have " backup"

    Dear All, I use a mac mini and had all my physical files on an external hard drive which sits on top. I use time machine to back up muy mac mini but not being able to work out how to use that to back up an external drive I made a physical coppy of my music folder to another drive a few months agao.
    Well seduced by reports of extra bits and bobs on a program called songbird I installed that and ran it. It deleted all my music. ( googling songbird deleted my songs brings up numerous distraught people who this has happened to. ) Now my artwork, library etc is still on my mac mini bit of course none are now linked to the actual song files any more ( all deleted ) . Thank god I only brought a few songs since I made a copy of all my music files. Its a large file 250GB.
    Whats the best way now to get my songs back into itunes ( from my copy on an external hard drive ) with the minimum of fuss and duplicates etc? Delete all my itunes libraries art etc and start again. Something simpler?
    Any feedback on hoew to use timemachine to back up an external hardrive holding my music would be appreciated.
    Thanks all

    After my "restore" Itunes says I have 71,638 songs taking up 406GB. Clicking on get info on my music folder it says 106,340 items 426GB. That leads me to believe that I have not imported some songs into itunes. What do you think? Any suggestions as to how to "hoover" tracks up into itunes ( if thats indeed the case that there are tracks that Itunes does not know about ) would be gratefully recieved.
    Doug has an answer for almost eveything:
    _*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
    This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.
    Another strange ( but nice ) thing is that I brought a few tracks from itunes recently which definitly were not backed up. I am 99% sure they were lost but now seem to be working fine? Weird ?

  • How to delete all projects and accompanied files from Adobe Premeiere Elements 13

    I would like to delete all projects and files and start anew, but I cannot find a clear enough instruction how to do it. Please help'

    vitprod
    Same other versions as well.
    There is no one delete button that wipes away the project file (.prel) and the project's assets. You need to go to the save locations of the project file (.prel) and its assets and delete
    each one by one wherever they are saved UNLESS you pre-plan and, before the project is created, set up a particular project so that the project file with assets goes to its own folder instead of each component of the project going into a common place for Premiere Elements files and folder where you have to pick out the materials for deletion one by one by name.
    Answers
    Default type situation
    If left at defaults and if your Premiere Elements 13 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0 and, in the 13.0 Folder, delete standalone files with your target project's name and delete files with your target project's name in the folders found in the 13.0 Folder.
    Plan Ahead
    Edit Menu/Preference/Scratch Disks - Set all to Same As Project.
    Create a new folder at a hard drive location of choice.Then point the project file to that folder for the Save In.
    Tip: When the Expert workspace of the new project opens, go to File Menu/Save As. Name the project and set the new folder created as the Save In of the Save Project dialog.
    Please review and consider and then let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thanks.

  • Deleting all exclamation mark'ed files in itunes

    Hi,
    I understand that exclamation marked files in iTunes are basically broken links. I have quite a few and I'm much too lazy to fix them or delete them all one by one. Is there a function in iTunes to delete all exclamation marked references in one fell swoop?

    Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt (right click and Save As).
    Rename it to "RemoveDeadTracks.js".
    Run it like you run any other program.
    It'll remove all the ! entries from your iTunes library.

  • Does reloading OS permanantly delete all of the log files

    I'm selling my early 2009 MBP. I'm not that concerned with the hardrive cause there's not much on it and nothing that cant's be seen by someone else. I've never kept any personal numbers or photos or anything. So I'll probably do a simple cleaning and let it go. I do want to make sure all of the log files are gone and can't be recovered. I'm reinstalling the OS will this do it?

    The newly-created log files don't contain the data of the previous ones and will be deleted when you erase the entire drive. As long as you've securely erased the previously-created ones, that part of it is done.

  • Search Remote Files... or ...How Do I Delete All of My LCK Files?

    hey everyone.
    i need to delete a bunch of .LCK files from my server so
    Dreamweaver
    will stop telling me someone else has stuff checked-out and
    that i need
    to enable blah blah blah. i can't just check everything in
    because A.
    that would take forever and B. the "person" who has them
    checked out is
    actually me, from a previous site definition that is now gone
    because i
    had to recreate it.
    unless i'm missing something (and i've been spending some
    time looking
    for it), there doesn't seem to be a way in Dreamweaver (at
    least in
    version 8, which is what i have) to search for files on the
    remote view.
    and even if there was, it doesn't look like the remote view
    displays
    hidden files, i.e. .LCK files.
    my server control panel does give me the option to search for
    files
    using the file manager, but it only searches the folder you
    have
    selected, and no sub-folders. there are hundreds, maybe
    thousands of
    folders on this thing, and it would really take a long time
    to click on
    each and every folder, search for the .lck files, and then
    delete them.
    so, my question is, what would be the best/easiest way to
    find and
    delete .lck files (or really, any file for that matter) on
    the remote
    server?
    thanks!

    i do NOT want check-in/check-out enabled. i'm trying to get
    rid of it
    altogether, but i tried selecting the checked out files to
    check them
    back in, and it said there were none.
    there is no "unlock" option, so i guess i need to pick check
    in. but
    here's my question, since it's this other instance of "me"
    that has them
    checked out, will this work? it's not recognizing me or my
    computer or
    whatever as the person who has them checked out. i think it's
    because i
    had to recreate my site definition about a week ago or so,
    and i deleted
    the old one. so it's like a user that no longer exists has
    them checked out.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager won't read Blackberry Torch

    I've been having trouble with my Blackberry Torch as my computer will not recognize it in Blackberry Desktop Software. It's actually very wierd because I will plug my phone in to a USB port and the port will charge the phone, but nothing else happens. The reason why this is weird because I've had it work for a long time and then one day, it just didn't work any more. I've done every type of trouble-shooting listed in the Help menu including rebooting the computer/phone, replacing the cable, re-downloading the software, etc etc. I've also been able to connect the phone using Bluetooth, but unfortunately I was limited with what I could do with that connection (ie. I couldn't tranfer any music/media).
    So yeah if you have any suggestions, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is something you should first perhaps try, before those tricks. The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    4) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Now you are ready to try the tricks, but since this thread is so ancient, I'll re-post my current list of things to try...
    Here is the list of troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
    Hopefully something there is helpful!

  • Delete all desktop items

    At work I use a PowerMac G4 AGP with OSX 10.3. I accidentally dragged and dropped 1000+ documents onto the desktop. Is there any way to automatically delete every item on the desktop? The machine won't respond to any commands, (apple+A to select them all and delete them, etc.) beacause the performance is slowed down after login by all these items. Any suggestions?

    Mike,
    It sounds like you have a couple of options. Maybe you would like to follow up on Ed's suggestion.
    If you want to follow Kurt's suggestion and move the files with unix commands, I can tell you a little more about dealing with files that do not have extensions. The trick in this business is that the * character is a wildcard. So, if you issue the command
    mv *.jpg ~/Desktop/temp/
    that will move all files which have the extension jpg and anything before the period. These files are moved to the temp folder on your Desktop.
    If you have files without an extension, you will have to find some other common character to latch onto. For instance, if you have one or more files that begin with the letter s, then you could issue a command such as
    mv s* ~/Desktop/temp/
    and all files that begin with s will be moved. Or, if you had a bunch of files that had the combination xyz buried in their names, you could issue the command
    mv xyz ~/Desktop/temp/
    and they would be moved. So, the point of using the wildcard is to find some common characters in the names of a bunch of files, so that you can move them all at once.
    The hidden files that Kurt mentioned all begin with a . (period) and you will normally not see those. They are considered invisible files. If you issued the mv * command as I suggested, you will move those also. Kurt's suggestion, which I agree with, is to avoid moving those files, because some of them may have have a special use for the operating system.
    I hope this helps. If you have more questions, fire away.

  • How to delete all data in a file

    Hello.
    I am trying to clear all the data from a file that will be continually replaced with a file of the same name with new data in it.  The goal is to delete the file while going through a while loop.  The problem I am having is with a dialog box popping up asking me if I want to replace the existing data.  I don't want a dialog box to pop up, just for the loop to continuosly delete any information (or to write a null string into the file) while it is looping, even if the file is empty.  At some point, the file will be replaced by actually data, which will cause a case structure to react and trigger the program to begin.
    Attached is the file.
    Thanks for the help!

    now I had a look into your vi and made some comments on it.
    If your vi contains only LV functions you don't need to save as llb with all subVI from lv.lib!

  • How can I delete ALL of the offline files in the catalog?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10, and a catalog with over 60,000 items in it.
    About 10,000 of those items were on an external drive ("E: Drive"). The E drive crashed, and all of those files are now on a different external drive, the F drive.
    On the E drive, they were in a very disorganized folder structure with hundreds of sub-folders. I think the easiest thing to do will be do just dump all the catalog entries related to the E drive and re-catalog them from the F drive, with a better structure.
    However, the only way I can see to do this is to manually delete EACH of the hundreds of subfolders.
    Any ideas for me?
    Thanks!
    Mary Miller

    If you're willing to directly modify the database, this procedure can be used to change all instances of your E: drive to your F: drive.  The images will show in Organizer as "disconnected", but at least you can use "Reconnect all missing files" and point the reconnection process to the root folder of your F: drive.  Or, you can use the Thumbnail View to select all the "disconnected" files and delete them from the catalog (but not from disk).
    The fastest way is to directly change the values in the catalog.pse10db database. The database is a SQL Lite database, so if you know (or know someone who knows) how to run SQL queries against a database, you're in luck because Adobe did an excellent job of designing a highly normalized database schema.
    I highly recommend first trying this on a copy of your database. In general, the procedure goes like this:
    Run a SQL query against the volume_table table to see a listing of all the rows.
    Note the values of the "id" column for your "E:" volume and the "F:" volume.
    Run a SQL query against the media_table table to update the value of the volume_id column, replacing all instances of the "E:" id number with the id number of your "F:" drive. The SQL query will look something like this:
    Update media_table
    set volume_id = "<your new value>"
    where volume_id = "<your old value>"
    I use the free Database.Net SQL tool:
    http://www.fishcodelib.com/Database.htm
    which is simple to install -- just extract the executable file.
    Good luck!

  • How can I delete all those ! dead files from iTunes without having to do it manually?

    I recently merged 2 iTunes libraries into 1 on a PC. This has resulted in 1000's of dead files, notated by a ! (exclamation point). Does anyone know of a quick way of removing all of these without needing to spend many hours doing it manually?

    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lostmatching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You should be able to select all the tracks in this playlist with CTRL-A and then remove them from iTunes with CTRL-SHIFT-DELETE.
    Or use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
    However if the broken tracks are duplicates of non-broken files then I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates, merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership, and remove dupes with dead links as long as there is one real file to merge the stats to. See this  thread for background. I also have a tool called FindTracks for fixing the broken links if the files are sill there but not quite where iTunes is looking for them. For more details see this thread.

  • HT1751 when i have moved all of my data to an external hard drive should i delete all of the library files on my laptop/PC

    i have moved all of my data to an external hard drive should i then delete the copies on my laptop

    What are you actually trying to accomplish? Backing up the library, or moving it?
    If backing up don't delete anything.
    If moving did you move the library files as well? Ideally you would copy the entire iTunes folder out to the external drive then shift-start iTunes to connect to the relocated library. This method makes it easier to move the library to a new drive or computer later and keeps everything together for backing up. Rather than delete everything rename the iTunes or iTunes Media folder first (depending on which approach you took) and make sure the library still works before deleting.
