Delete file from the filesystem?

Hello,
I have an easy question. But I don´t find the right oracle packages.
I want to delete a file from the filesystem. How can I do this?
Thanks for your help!

Paul,
If connecting to the Web server on East-Coast USA is not optimal for you, or if you aren't using Oracle 10g Release 2, try this URL instead:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html
You need to look for the PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference document, the section detailing the UTL_FILE package.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

From the Microsoft Word app they say "Access Word documents from OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint" so it sounds like you can specify where they are saved. However, my guess would be that the default will be OneDrive.
To the OP: Have you tried logging into onedrive.live.com to see if you can see your letter there?

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contact list?

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contacts?

If you have an iCloud backup of an iOS device that was made while the contacts were still on it, you may be able to restore them from the backup by following this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Why so long to delete files from the Recycle Bin?

You installed an app right? The menu options are a bit different for s60v3 and s60v5 or s60v2 devices, so the thing is go to the application manager, it is inside Menu>Settings (or tools). If I remember correctly, s60v3 devices have the menu>tools>phone>applications. However I could be mistaken (you could check your manual). Anyway, once you get to the application manager, look for the particular app you want to remove and select options>uninstall.

Delete file from the list & as well as from file upload

I have come across a situation where there is a sap.ui.unified.FileUploader & user is free to upload as many file selected. then there is a button to display the list of added files as list(deleteable list). list delete is possible by using the standard function provided in the explored of SAP UI5 SDK document. but how to bind both the controls?? do that at the time of deleting the list it will also delete the files added in FileUploader. attaching the screenshot for better understanding...
SAP UI5 Version 1.24.3

Hi,
you can use the setValue() method when you delete a file from the list:
oFileUploader.setValue("");
Kind regards,
RW

How do I delete files from the cloud

I have numerous back issues of The New Yorker as well as old videos that are automatically stored on icloud from my ipad. I want to delete them from the cloud to free up storage space. How do I do this?

Hi jane roth,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Each magazine you purchase from Newsstand is considered it's own app. You should be able to control within the app (magazine) which individual issues you wish to keep. If you look at your Usage on your iPad ( Settings > General > Usage) you can see how much total data a particular magazine is using. If you delete the app, you would delete all of the data associatied with it. Here are a couple of articles that explain these options in more detail:
Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
For your photos and videos, I would suggest importing them to your computer, confirming they transferred completely, then deleting from your iPad. This will reduce the amount of space needed in iCloud.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Cheers,
Judy

How do you delete files from the iPod?

i have a 30GB iPod, but i was wondering how you delete music from the iPod? and also is it possible to play the music from the iPod?
30GB iPod. Windows XP 30GB iPod.

There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.
To play music from an iPod through iTunes, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
This will make the songs on the iPod accessible and playable.

How do I delete files from the start up disk?

I keep getting the messsage that my start up disk is full and I shoudl delte files, which I have tried to do, by putting stuff inthe trash and emptying it, but that does not seem to be enough and I keep getting the message. ireally don't ahve much stored on my computer except for a lot of photos. Could the photos be the problem?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. 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.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Delete file in the filesystem

Hello,
I am developing an application with the apex.
I created a section where you can upload files to the linux file system to a specific folder, not upload to the database, I do not want me to take unnecessary space.
I can also download the file list and I'm interested.
Now what interests me to complete my application is that when I list the files that are uploaded, I can delete one that interests me this and to delete the file system,
I tried to remove it UTL_FILE.FREMOVE but I think it only works with files with extension. txt, and I have files with different extension type pdf, doc ... etc.
Can you give me a solution?
My OS is ubuntu 10.10 and used Application Express 4.0.2.00.07
Thanks
Greetings

The exceptions raised by <tt>utl_file.fremove</tt> are listed in the procedure's documentation. <tt>no_data_found</tt> is not one of the docuimented exceptions: if the exception is being raised by <tt>utl_file.fremove</tt>, then either it <em>might</em> be an undocumented feature—and hence a documentation bug—or an Oracle software bug. However the problem is more likely to be in your code.
It's very difficult to troubleshoot this problem remotely: it can't be replicated on apex.oracle.com due to the file system access required, and no one but you has access to your server. You'll therefore need to provide a very complete picture of the situation.
<li>What is your full database version and edition (get this using <tt>select banner from v$version</tt>)
<li>Where is your code? If it's all in your APEX app, then upload the app to apex.oracle.com and either make an export link available or post developer login credentials here. (We can't replicate the problem there but it's the easiest way to see the full code.) If the code is in a package or procedure then post it here <em>wrapping the code \...\ tags</em> to preserve formatting.
<li>Replicate the circumstances of the error and post the results here. If possible do this using a reduced test case from sqlplus as this will be easier to cut/paste. If you have to do it through APEX then get a debug trace. Again wrap any diagnostic output/trace in \...\ tags.
<li>Post a full directory listing (<tt>ls -al</tt>) of the relevant OS directory at the time of the error here, wrapped in \...\ tags.

HT1526 I'm trying to delete files from the trash and an .InProgress file in Time Machine that cannot be moved to the trash. I cannot unmount the TM disk either. If I use the chflags -R nouchg command, I get a "Resource busy" message. Any suggestions?

I've got one or maybe two problems. Time Machine routinely crashes and there is a file in the TM folder that is an .InProgress file at the end of successful backups. Can't delete it, even using various sudo commands in Terminal. These come back with a "Resource busy" message.
Similarly, there is a Microsoft Office alias in my trash that will not delete, again including various delete or Terminal commands. Also "Resource busy"
I can't reformat the TM volume since it cannot unmount and it also cannot unmount the whole disk, which contains some other backup files I'd rather keep.
Any suggestions?
Mike

I'm not sure I can be very helpful since I was doing a lot of things and ultimately the problems went away. But one thing that definitely seemed to help was to shut down, restart, do something, shut down again and repeat. So with a clean start, try to move the file to the trash. If that works, shut down restart and look to see if it is still in the trash. Empty the trash. Shut down if it appears to empty and then restart. It seemed sometimes that the computer was doing what I wanted then something was overriding this and restoring. The shutdowns immedately after I could do something but before it engaged an override operation seemed to keep this from happening.
Sorry to not have more to offer but...

Error message while deleting files from the tracker

I deleted four files from Acrobat.com before removing them from the desktop tracker and now I don't seem to be able to remove them or stop collecting data on the files in the tracker. Am I missing something or is there not a way to get rid of them?
Rufus Chaney

Please try again after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
Step 1
Reset your computer’s PRAM.
Step 2
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Step 3
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups.
Step 4
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested.

HT5824 How do I delete files from the message app

I need to delete files that are stored in the memory of the message app. This app is starting to take up to much space on my phone and I can not get rid of them. I can see the files by using Dr. Fone and a lot of the space is used by pics I sent in the past, years ago, but it will not let me delete them.I keep this app pretty clean and close out all unused conversations on a regular basis, but the **** phone keeps storing it. I also use phone clean that works great with all other apps but the message app, that app doesn't show up at all on that software.Can some PLEASE help with this? No one seems to have the answer except for a full reset which I really don't want to go thru the hassle of that.

I guess I was expecting to talk to people that new what they were talking about. All I did was ask a simple question and got nothing back from you that would solve the problem. Sorry but your sugestions did not help me. I'll wait to see if I get any other feed back. Don't get me wrong as I do appreciate your input, but it's not solving my problem. Why is apple making it so hard to get into the memory of this one app? I have never had a phone that I could not access all data until I got an iphone.
