File cannot be deleted from desktop?

I have an excel file on my desktop named "77B72200" that will not move to the trash! It's driving me nuts and it won't even move into another folder or anything, it is completely unresponsive. I am almost positive that it appeared there when I downloaded the Solver Premium for Mac 15 day trial... however I deleted the program... HOW do I get this file off of my desk top???
Thanks!

You can probably delete it from the terminal. Open one and type the following:
cd ~/Desktop
ls
You should see the file listed here. Note the full name with its extension. e.g., 77B72200.xls or 77B72200.xlsx or something. Make sure you only reference this file in the following. Now type:
rm -rf 77B72200.xls
Or whatever the file name is.
If that fails because, "permission denied," do:
sudo rm -rf 77B72200.xls
It'll ask for your password, so type that in.
I think people blow the terminal and sudo'ing little tasks way out of proportion around here, but for the record: Please make sure you really want to get rid of this file, and that you are only rm -rf'ing the file you want to get rid of. Removing something this way is for the most part not recoverable. The file doesn't go to the trash, it just goes away.

Files won't delete from desktop with folder redirection

I have folder direction set up with a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard x64 Primary Domain Controller and a 2012R2Stdx64 File and Print Server that is the backup domain controller. 1 single user out of 20 can't delete files from his desktop.
Folder redirection is configured via GPO and offline files are enabled.
When you go to delete a file it says "Item Not Found" "This is no longer located in \\HSI-FPS01\Users\My Documents\Desktop Verify the item's location and try again."
However, the item still persists in showing, both in the server folder and the desktop however you can't open it.
There are no sync errors, I've done re-syncs. I've also rebooted, refreshed the desktop, etc.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Only one user have this issue?
I suggest you create a new user account to test folder redirection.
Please refer to this artcile about folder redirection:

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

Bug: Numbers File cannot be deleted because it is in use

Whenever I try to delete a Numbers 09 file, I get the error message that the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I get this without the file being open at all, so it shouldn't be in use and I should be able to delete it.

It's actually a plain and simple file. It contains several sheets, each sheet 1 or 2 tables, but no links to external files nor links within the file from one table to another.
And indeed, I only have it with Numbers files even if I try to delete the file immediately after startup of my computers (iMac and Macbook, both running the same versions of OS X and Numbers). If I try a couple of times, sometimes the file is deleted, but I haven't found out what has changed so that the file can be deleted.

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

Hi,
I just worked on same functionality where i used a button to create excel file with context data and save in local system.
Use the following code under a button, So on click of button you can directly get the excel file saved in to your desktop without saving on the server
String ordcaeno="000"sysdate".XLS";
String str = "";
for(int j = 0; j< wdContext.nodeZflash_File().size(); j++)
str =str"\n" wdContext.node<<ABC_File().getABC_FileElementAt(j).getRecord();
try
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource
str.getBytes("UTF-8"), WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN
resource.setResourceName(ordcaeno);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.ALLOW_SAVE.ordinal()),
resource.getResourceName());
window.show();
catch(Exception ex)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException( new WDNonFatalException(ex), false );

Datafiles, logfiles, control files, etc. not deleted from OS

Hello,
I used the Database Configuration Assistant to create a database(v9.2) and at a later time deleted the database also using the DBCA. Why aren't the datafiles, control files, logfiles, etc. deleted from the Windows OS files. Doesn't the DBCA delete most of the files associated with the database being deleted. Do I have to restart the Windows OS for the deletion of the OS files to take effect. Thank you in advance.

the Windows OS files. Doesn't the DBCA delete most
of the files associated with the database being
deleted. Do I have to restart the Windows OS for the
deletion of the OS files to take effect. Thank you
in advance.Yes, the DBCA is supposed to remove the various files. It sounds like an ownership/permissions problem.

File cannot be opened from iCloud

Hi,
so I have multiple documents in my iCloud for all iWorks programs.
One numbers file however will no longer open or download.
If I try to open it on my MBPr I get the following error
"The document could not be opened"
If I try to copy it onto my desktop I get the following error
"cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork."
* mind you all my software is up to date.
If I try to open it on my iOS device I get the following error
"Spreadsheet can't be opened."
And last but not least if I try to open it via iCloud.com
no matter what format I choose to download
I can see the thumbnail, but I just cannot get the damned thing to open.
any other ideas what I might try? anyone?

My girlfriend's sister is having the same problem. We managed to get the pages file onto a PC to have a look and it's a folder called "name.pages-tef"
Inside the folder are the following:
If I open the index.db file with a text editor, I can see the text but it's surrounded by gobbledygook code.
Any help would be much appreciated as it's 3 months worth of notes apparently. If you try and share it as Pages file, PDF or Word from the Pages app on iPad where it is or from iCloud, it fails. Literally just need to be able to print this so she can get her notes back.

i could not find the original word document in the desktop
i don't want the original word document should be deleted from the desktop
can anyone help me

Hi Sunil,
I need a clarification, when actually document getting deleted from Ur desk top,
after checkin or after deleting the checkin document from DIR.
If it is getting deleted after checkin, then go to T-code DC30 - Workstation application and select the application of Word document and choose the details and remove the tick mark from "Delete file after check in" .
According to my knowledge there is setting in SAP DMS if U delete the checkin document from DIR it will get deleted from Ur desktop.
Still if U will face the same problem after the above setting, let me know to help you.
Rgds,

Mac mini Server 10.6 unable to search for files on the server from desktop.

I'm running Mac mini Server 10.6 with 15 various Apple Mac desktops 10.4 / 10.6. The problem i'm having is that i'm unable to search for files on the server from any of the desktops. I have fixed permissions and rebooted. I can perfomr a search though command - F and spotlight from the server.
Anyone have any ideas?

I have a Mac mini server with Mac osx 10.6.8 installed --- I have a website {UNDER CONSTRUCTION} installed on it with a REGISTERED DOMAIN NAME belizeansworldwide.com -->[DNS service w/GoDaddy] & DSL INTERNET service w/VERIZON --- {My server is the ONLY DEVICE CONNECTED to my VERIZON DSL router/modem}
When I enter my DOMAIN NAME or WAN IP # in my browser(s)--> Chrome OR Safari -- i get my Verizon modem
set-up page-->{this incl the WAN IP# as I expected}----{NORMALLY I WOULD ACCESS MY Actiontec
modem/router via 192.168.1.1} --- While in that webpage there's an option "shared files/folders" & clicking on that option DISPLAYS MY WEBSITE ---> {"PORT FORWARDING DID NOT RESOLVE THAT"}
My next attempt @ a solution was through my Server's SystemPreference>Sharing>Internet Sharing
& this the Original Object of my post ===> "MY SHARING PANEL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE OPTION
FOR 'Internet Sharing' among the others like CD DVD, Remote Login,Remote Management, Bluetooth Sharing, etc.etc ---- Hope this additional info will help to clarify &/or explain my problem
Thanks, & best regards to you & yours

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
- Last, restore from backup.

File present after deleting from gallery file

This problem seems to have multiple symptoms:
I save an image over another image in the gallery, but the original image is displayed.
I delete an image file from the gallery file then save another file into the folder with the same name as the previously deleted then the deleted image is displayed when used.
I delete an image file from the gallery folder then start a new, blank, project and the image file that I deleted is available to use in the project...but the file isn't in the gallery!?
Can someone please help me figure out how to permanently remove these "ghost" files?

Indeed it isn't clear.
So I'm not sure what you are reporting here. It sounds as if you have visited the Gallery in order to delete an unwanted image, no? And on deleting an unwanted image, you create a new project and somehow see it?
For one thing, a totally new project shouldn't be using anything from the Gallery. Now there may be other content that gets added if you elected to use a Theme. Is that perhaps what's happening here?
What exactly are you seeing that you wish to wave goodbye to? A screen shot might help. To add one, use the Camera icon in the web interface to the forums. Don't try to attach to email.
Cheers... Rick

Photoshop file corruption (selections deleted from layers)

I was working on 5 photoshop files today. Photoshop stared previewing one of the files very oddly (when you zoomed in nothing was there).
I saved all open files and quit Photoshop.
Upon opening Photoshop all files had random selections deleted from the layers (please see attached)
I have basically lost a full days work.
has anyone had anything similar??
Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.2

Yes, I have this corruption issue as well. For me, it is not reproducable (no specific action causes it that I have found), and intermittant (happens inconsistently but not infrequently, maybe once or twice a month out of hundreds of files and working hours). It seems like it more often happens in layer masks first, but once the corruption starts, it shows in layer image data as well. Often it looks blocky like you are seeing, and also as you mention, cached zoom levels don't show the corruption.
I hesitate to call it corruption, but it seems to be the case—once it shows up in an open file, going back in history does NOT undo the corruption, and if you save, your image is screwed. Only way to avoid losing lots of work is to save often and close without saving when you notice corrution, then go back to where you were last time you saved. I have noticed that once you see corruption, you have to re-launch PS even if you close and re-open the file. Otherwise additional corruption will happen almost immediately.
It smells like a RAM related issue, but it's the ONLY issue I have on any of the workstations I use where I've noticed the PS corruption issue, so if it's RAM corruption then it's something PS and only PS does to my RAM. I do a lot of heavy processing with large files, so if I had any bad RAM, I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed by now.
I'm working on files over a local network (nearly always, all day every day). I've had the issue on multiple Macs, multiple OS versions, multiple versions of PS (since CS3, it seems like.) I do use more levels of undo that default but well within available range (100 undos--PS allows up to 1000). And my History & Cache settings are default.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person with this issue. It would be nice to see it fixed.

How do you recover a file that was deleted from iCloud?

I can't find a file I stored on iCloud. I must have deleted it by mistake. I need to recover it.
Thank you,
Eddie

Sorry, there is no file recovery for files you delete from cloud storage. If you made a local backup then you can restore from it.
