Deleting data from a memory stick

When I needed to free up some space on my stick I deleted the files by dragging them to the Trash. This worked (the files no longer showed up on the stick) but DID NOT free up the space on the stick.
The Techy guy at Apple said it would free up the space if I emptied the Trash. But I don't want to do this every time I need space on the stick and it does seem a bit like "a sledgehammer to crack a walnut" to do this.
Is there a more efficient way?
Something simple like in Windows?
Thanks

The trash is for stuff you intend to delete. It's not a holding place for stuff you think you may want to delete but aren't quite sure; if you want something like that, create a new folder and name it something like "pending trash" and use that for the purpose.
The opportunity to rescue stuff accidentally trashed is what babowa refers to.
Windows is a different OS, and doesn't work the same way (Apple would probably sue for patent infringement if it did).

HT1151 how to clear data from a USB stick on a Mac

Hi - have removed data from a memory stick, but from a 15MB Memory stick it is only offerring 354Kb of space and saying i have not enough memory to put on any new data, Years ago before i got this Mac , i could format it - have tried researching on web which suggests i right click something which cant do on Mac Book - any any ideas how i can clean up my mountain of memory sticks? ElMcV

Try this:
With the stick plugged in, go to Finder->Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. From there, you should see your memory stick appear in a sidebar on the left. Click on it, then click on the "erase" tab and follow the instructions.

How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

How can I import pics from a memory stick?

I am trying to import my pictures from a flash drive or memory stick and it keeps telling me that it's not supported. This is my first mac by the way...

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Try to import the photos from the memory stick.
If that fails make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Update/insert/delete data from xcelsius to Database via web service

Hi,
I need to create dashboard that go function can update/insert/delete data send to Database thru web services, as i know got 2 xcelsius add-on software which support those of function InfoBurst and flynet 
InfoBurst
http://www.infosol.com/azbocug/minutes/4-Writeback%20to%20a%20Database%20with%20Xcelsius.pdf
flynet 
http://www.flynetviewer.com/public/community/Blogs/FlynetXcelsiusServerUser/default.aspx
Except this 2 purchase add-on xcelsius, any other solution ?
Maybe need to write some in MSSQL or C# programming which enable insert, update, delete ...etc ?
*note: i not use Xcelsius Engage Server , i use Xcelsius Engage only
thanks,
regards
s1
Edited by: Leong Pui Kee on Mar 1, 2011 6:06 AM

Hi,
As of now in Xcelsius/Dashboard Design there is no feature or functionality to insert/update/delete data from database.
Solution:
Create a Web service in let’s say C# or Java, which will perform insert/update/delete operation.
In Xcelsius add Web Service connection and user above web service.
Xcelsius Web Service connection provides option to pass input values to a Web Service (Input Pane) and get the result (Output values pane).
We can pass values to be written to the database as a input to Web Service via Web Service connection from Xcelsius and write data to the database.
Note:
Performing delete operation from Xcelsius Dashboard could be risky and may delete important data from database. I would not prefer giving delete option/functionality in Xcelsius dashboard.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.

Delete data from archive server

Hello,
we have following question : How do you delete data from archive server which has passed the retention time and need to be removed from archive server.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Planung,
For deletion of data SARA transaction is used. Also deletion indicator is required to set for the documents which you are not using. Use the bapi BAPI_DOCUMENT_DELETE for deleting the documents which are set with deletion indicator.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Ravindra

Delete data from ODS with only part of the key
Thanks
Ralf

Ralf,
the thread pointed out by you is for passing deletion entries to the DSO / target using the deletion entries .. namely recordmode = D.
Are you looking at deleting data from the DSO as a one time activity or you want to handle the same using a start / end routine ...? and pass deletion entries to other data targets which get the data from this DSO ?

How do I move a file from one memory stick to another using mac pro? copy paste doesnt work

Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?

Deleting data from SID Table

Hi,
I have deleted master data of an info object but it does not remove all the data from the SID table.
I have selected with SID's option but not all data was removed.
I am getting the error below when transporting
"SID Table /BIC/ S2QKHITIND Contains Data : Characteristic ZQKHITIND Cannot be activated. "
What needs to be done to get the charecteristic activated.
Thanks
James

Hi Selva,
Thank you for the info. I have deleted data from all the infoproviders but still get the message
The system is unable to delete all the master data as, because some of it is still in use. (See log:
Object RSDMD, sub-object MD_DEL )
Do you want to delete the data records that are no longer in use?
What does this mean. is it due to the query open in some place or something else.
While I am not able to delete the SID table entries as the delete is not active. Please help.
Thanks
James
