Deleting OS9 Items

I finally updated to 10.4.11.
I won't be using any classic items. Appleworks is long gone.
I'd like to delete the older items from my computer so I will have more room for working with video and other things.
Is it OK to delete the OS9 folders(apps and system)? It appears that most, if not all, items have a version in the OSX folders, so I'm thinking it should be OK to delete them.
The reason I ask is I thought I once read that some things in OS9 need to remain since they were accessed, at least when OSX first came out, by some OSX programs, utilities, etc.
I've asked this in other forum categories, but without a definitive answer.
So, is there anything I should keep in either of those folders, or can I just delete them?
Thanks for your help.
Jon

OSX doesn't need any items from OS9. It's only if you need to run an OS9 application that you need to have Classic/OS9 on your computer. If you are absolutely sure you no longer need them you can delete them. If you have backup copies and should you ever need them again you can reinstall.
Unless you have lots and lots of OS9 apps and a huge OS9 folder you will probably find that you'll only clear up a gigabyte or so of space. If a GB is really making a difference to you in terms of space you should look into buying an external drive to archive your files or put them on DVDs. OSX needs +at least+ 5GB of free disk space at all times in order to keep temporary files, preferably 10GB. If it doesn't get it your computer will slow down, it may crash, and eventually it could mess up your directory meaning you will lose all your files (and have to pay $100-$200 for software that may or may not recover them).

    If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

  • Hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. Can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. How to fix this, please?

    I had hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now it is looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. I can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. I think a big part of the problem is that someon one the internet (the hacker) was mirroring my hard drive. It seems to have locked up my system. I could be wrong about this guess, though. All I do know is that it is now looping on the last 4 iems, and I can't do anything.
    Well, I can get it to turn on, but all it does is continously try to delete the last 4 items. When I try to reload Snow Leopard, it tells me my hard drive is full and that I need to delete items.
    Can anyone help? I am so lost without my Mac. I am back on the PC, and though it works, I'm sure many of you will understand when I say it's just not a Mac.
    Thanks.

    I installed Snow Leopard using my Apple external Superdrive. I followed directions I found on the Apple site. Here is the article info:  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install  
                     Article HT3910
                     located at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910
    Everything was going smoothly until I got to the reinstall part. I had to choose to reinstall on a hard drive or network drive. I've never used a network drive; just the hard drive. It seems that's where the troubles began. I selected the hard drive. It seemed to go well, and then I got the message that I needed to delete some files because I was out of space. I chose to get rid of my music files, but, there were only 636. I don't know what the rest of the files were. I was using the Secure Empty Trash command.
    That was my first time doing an erase and install. I tried to do it again, but I now get a continuous error telling me that my hard drive is full and I must delete files. Only I can't delete files because 4 files are still being deleted and my computer won't let me stop the process.
    I found out about the hackers mostly by the fact that whenever I used to watch something like Hulu or Netflix, I never had problems with internet connection or speed. Lately, I had internet connection problems. I went in to check my settings for my internet provider and found out the settings had been changed to public and all these extra computers were connected to my network.

  • PURCHASE ORDER STATUS :When Deleting ALL ITEMS.

    Hi experts,
    I need  to make purchase order status stay  " Release Compleated " when deleting all items.
    Anyone Know How to do it?
    Or anyone Know how to use BAPI_PO_CHANGE in BAdI : ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST 
    In my project , I use Release Strategy of purchase orders, and there is a case of deleting all items.
    In this situation, purchase order status returns to "Active " and release strategy tab disappears.
    This is our problem.
    I need to make purchase order status stay  " Release Compleated " and prevent  release strategy tab disappearing.
    I tried to update the fields EREKZ(final invoice) and ELIKZ(delivery completed) in
    BAdI : ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST  Method : PROCESS_ITEM using BAPI_PO_CHANGE according to SAP Note 456691.
    But BAPI_PO_CHANGE couldn't update EREKZ because of our customize , and I couldn't find how to use
    BAPI_PO_CHANGE in the BAdI.
    Anyone know solutions to solve this problem?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    TKD

    Hi,
    please review the following information in SAP Note No. 456691 as
    copied below:
    18. Question:
    When are the header conditions updated if a purchase order item is
    deleted?
    Answer:
    If a purchase order item is deleted, the item is marked as 'statistical'
    (field EKPO-STAPO = X) and the change is reflected in the header
    conditions.
    However, if for the item the final invoice indicator(EKPO-EREKZ) or the
    inward delivery completed indicator (EKPO-ELIKZ) is set, the item is not
    marked as 'statistical' (EKPO-STAPO is not set) and thus the header
    conditions are not updated.
    I hope this helps you

  • 2LIS_02_ITM deleted line items are not reflected in BW

    Hi,
    Our current Data flow 2LIS_02_ITM-->DSO-->CUBE.
    I am analyzing a Invoice, When it is created 01.04.2014 it has got 10 Line Items and all the data is load to BW,Invoice with 10 Line items.
    In ECC I can now see the same Invoice only got 5 line items and from change log I can see 5 line items are deleted on 15.04.2014.These changes are not reflected in BW.In BW invoice data still shows 10 line items.
    If I perform setup table job and ECC RSA3 for that invoice I am getting only 5.
    I believe it’s something to do with 0RECORDMODE,Can you please let me know how to fix this in BW.
    Thanks

    Yes this is a known behavior in case of deltas.
    For Deleted line items Rocancel field will have an entry with R.
    To handle this you need to map ROCANCEL field in Technical group of transformation (Between Datasource to DSO) with 0Recordmode.
    Once you will do that then after activating the data in DSO it will nullify the records and deleted order or item will not appear.

    available in old sales order since it is deleted also it is not appearing in open sales order report (VA05).
    Overall stock available is same as quantity mentioned in deleted line item.
    In MD04 - Sales requirenment transaction it shows sales order / line item against which it is blocked.

    I am not able to print preview of a PO for which i deleted all the line items. It gives me a message saying that no print relevant changes.
    Client need to print such POs. Client expects a text like "item cancelled " for deleted PO items.

    Ask your ABAPer to modify the smart form, deleted materials wouldn't come for obvious reasons in standard system ... you need to get in customized/ developed.

  • Error message when trying to delete an item in a purchase order

    Hi,
    We are trying to delete an item in a PO, but when we select the item and click on the trash button (Delete), we get the following error message:
    «Evaluated receipt settlement open, deletion not possible
    Message no. ME867»
    There was a good receipt that was originally done for this PO. We cancelled it with the opposite posting (debit GR/IR account and credit the project account using t-code MIGO.) The account assignment category of this PO is «Project».
    Thanks for you help.
    Julien

    Hi,
    This means ERS is active in your system.
    What this means is that when you do a GRN, an ERS flag is activated in the PO header.  The ERS is then settled using the PO data in SRM.
    If you have not settled this (at least this is what is indicated from the message), then uncheck this flag in the PO header and then try and archive.
    Cheers.

  • How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time?

    How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time? I have several duplicate items in my library and would like to delete the duplicates. Thanks!

    You can select multiple items using shift to select a range and control to add or remove items from it.
    Regarding duplciates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

  • How to delete all items in download folder under bookmark in the shortest time?

    I understand that all downloads from internet and yahoo/google mail are stored in the "Download" folder which I see under bookmark when I want to delete. I think that if the download folder is never emptied, then my mac will slow down. Therefore I want to delete these downloads which I have already seen. How do I delete ALL items in the shortest time? Deleting items, even in groups, takes a long time. Is there a method that I can use so that all items in the folder are deleted in one stroke?
    Thanks.

    Hi all,pay attention to the words I've marked in bold in the first answer from the technical support member:  "From the BlackBerry Hub, hold your finger on the date at the top of the list. A side menu will appear. Click on the Garbage Can to delete all messages prior to that date" At first, I also didn't understand how to make it works, but you have to slide until the date is at the top of displayed messages, then you can tap and hold to select all messages preceding that date.
