Unable To Delete Files from Desktop

I have a friend whose Mac Mini "suddenly" started preventing her from deleting files from her desktop. When I tried to drag the file to the Trash, the Mini makes a sound like the file was deposited in the Trash, but the icon remains on the desktop and there is no file in the Trash. I have repaired permissions and even ran FSCK -FY from single user mode. When I logged in under a different Administrator account, it worked perfectly. So, the question is "what preference file do I need to delete?"
TIA.

It's an ownership problem of the Trash folder, not the file you are trying to put in the Trash. Any chance this file on the Desktop may have come from Windows?
I may have misunderstood. It sounded as if you were saying there was a connection between the Trash's ownership and Windows files. Sorry.
And it doesn't fix the problem, but it will tell us if anything can be deleted in the first place.

Roaming User sync does not work and/or deleted files on desktop restored.

Hello
We have a customer with MBP's and a Server 10.6. At the MBP is a local Admin Account configured and all the employees have roaming profiles.
Sometimes we have the problem that deleted files and folders at a Desktop will be restored after relogin AND it seems that some Adobe Products prevent syncing sometimes if files at Desktop opened.
Is there any solution for that?

Same issue here.
I have BB 9700 and Yahoo! BIS account. Worked like a charm until about a week ago.
It was even synchronizing my calendar and mail between BB and Outlook 2010 - never really understood how it managed to do that, but I was very pleased.
As of lately our telecom administrator spent hours on the phone with AT&T, Yahoo and RIM trying to resolve this problem. I was told by RIM tech. support that I've got too many messages in the inbox (measly 5000 e-mails) and that BB stops synchronizing after about 800 messages in the inbox, because it is timing out with so many messages to go through. Sounded like a total BS to me, but I still went ahead and cleaned up my Yahoo inbox and no luck, as I suspected. I was also told by tech. support that it is due to my using Outlook 2010 Beta2, which is not supported, hence the issue - another ferry tale, IMHO.
Hopefully, RIM will be able to get us back on track - manually deleting 60 emails every day is extremely annoying.

Unable to delete file from desktop

I'm trying to delete a .mp4 file from my desktop. On doing so I'm first prompted to enter the password in a window 'Finder wants to make changes. Type you password to allow this'. After doing so I get the msg 'the operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to acess some of the items'.

Re: Satellite L450D Cannot delete file from desktop

Hi all, I was veiwing some photos on yahoo email via firefox version 3 6 3 sent by my sister in Australia, when this file appeared on my desktop which I cannot delete.
The file is called Pez & Lisa (after my sister and brother in laws photograph) when i try to delete it I get the message "COULD NOT FIND THIS ITEM, THIS IS NO LONGER LOCATED IN C/USERS/PAUL/DESKTOP VERIFY THE ITEMS LOCATION AND TRY AGAIN"
The file when I right click on proprties reads the file is 0 bytes size.
It cannot be deleted in safe mode or moved or renamed or anything!
Any ideas??

Hi Guys, thanks for your replies, however, there is nothing in startup or task manager to delete!
I have tried downloading unlocker, but it doesnt do anything when I click on it!! Maybe it doesnt work with Windows 7.
I suppose I can leave it alone as its not doing anything! its not worth a reformat just do get rid of an icon.
Ho Hum.

Can't delete file from desktop. Can't get info. Doesn't appear in ls -a. What?

Hi folks,
I file has appeared on my desktop. I believe it's a temp file created while downloading something in Safari. When I try to delete it, I get "The item x can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted":
I tried right click > Get Info, and nothing happens (the info dialog does not appear).
I tried ls -al on my desktop, and the file doesn't appear in the list:
How do I get rid of this thing? What is it?

Weird. I guess if this were happening to me, I would see if the thing is still there after a reboot. If it is still there, I would boot with command-R and use Disk Utility to verify and repair the disk (not permissions).
The file name indicates you were downloading something to run under windows. Do you have windows?

Cannot delete file off desktop

I have, excel files on my desktop (labled with numbers and letters) that cannot be moved, deleted or even opened. I have no idea what they are. How do I get rid of them??

In an open Finder window, click "Application," select"Utilities," choose "Terminal" and double-click the "Terminal" application to launch it.
Type "sudo rm –f " (with a space after the f and not including the quotes) to delete a file.
Drag and drop the files you wish to delete onto the open Terminal window. The files you drop on the Terminal window will be deleted. You can drag and drop multiple files and folders onto the Terminal window.
Note using this u cant undo the action.

Cannot delete files from desktop

I run the latest version of Lion OS, on a MacBook Pro. All software is maintained and updated. I have a couple of files on my desktop, which cannot be deleted. They are BACK-UP files from Keynote and PowerPoint. The files cannot be moved (physically on the desktop, they stay put), and TRASH is not accepting them;
The item “Backup of Wholesale Sales Meeting Sea Island-powerpoint.key~1” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.
Any idea on how to delete them permanently?
Thanks

Hello Denis Post1
You could remove it with the Terminal (Applications > Utilities).
Enter the following command (copy & paste) followed by your password, you will not see nothing, while entering it and then <enter>
sudo rm ~/Desktop/*
for the files you confirm with a simple "y" they will be deleted. If you want to keep some other files type "n"
hope this helps

Unable to delete files on desktop

My older brother lives in a nursing home where he uses his MacBook running (I think) Leopard. He is not too computer savvy and I continually have to "fix" things on his computer that he has messed up, which I'm happy to do.
He has two files on his desktop -- an empty folder and a .jpg downloaded off the Internet -- that I can't delete. When I try to move them to the Trash I am asked for his system password which I enter, to no avail. In "Get Info" the files don't appear to be locked or anything, and Read/Write permissions are checked for both. I have tried everything I know to delete these files but can't. They're not hurting anything -- but I'd just like to be able to delete them in an effort to keep his desktop organized.
Is there some way to "force delete" these files. Thanks for any help.

Do the following very carefully. Items will be deleted immediately and not put in the Trash.
1 - Open Terminal
2 - Copy and paste the following to the Terminal window
sudo rm -r
3 - press the space bar
4 - drag an unwanted file or folder to the Terminal window
5 - hit return key
6 - supply an admin password when asked
7 - hit return key again

Not able to delete files from desktop

I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro Model running Mac OS X Lion... I am unable to delete some files from my desktop..One is an image file and other is an application.. I checked that i have read/write privileges,I am the admin and the files are not locked...
When I try to delete the files, it asks me for my admin password, I type the password correctly, then it makes a characteristic sound indicating the deletion process but does not delete the file!!
Any help in this will be really apprecaited
Thanks..

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Drag or copy -- do not type -- the following line into the window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
If you get an error message about permissions, enter this:
sudo !!
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.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Deleting files out of system preferences desktop background.

Does anyone know how to delete files out of system preferences>desktop & screen saver?
Some how when adding one photo to the file for the desktop background it took the entire photo file. So that instead of one photo for the file it has over 200 now. Read everything and tried everything. Still can't figure out how to delete that file from the list.
I know how to add photos or whatever to use as desktop background just no idea how to remove them from the list.
Any ideas?

Doug,
When you go to system preferences>desktop & screen savers>desktop. On the left is a window with the names of the images listed. Apple Images, Nature file, Plants file, Picture Folder, Choose Folder and so forth. The ones that come with Apple products. Not sure what all else is native to Apple.
Iv been using my own desktop background since the day I got the iBook. Normally I just get one photo or image and more it there to use. But, last week I did something different or wrong. Maybe holding a button to long, not sure. Instead of moving the one photo it moved the entire photo file. That file had over 200 (2,500x1,800 in size & over 550KB for each) and probably closer to 250 photos in it.
Way to many to be there. And I simply can't find a way to remove that file from the desktop list. I can high light it, but it doesn't delete with the delete button. I can high light it, but it doesn't change anything in system preferences banner to edit, view, etc....to remove it either. It won't click & drag to trash.
Being very careful because I don't want to delete the file and by error delete it totally off the computer. I could creat a new file with only 1 photo in it for use as the desktop background. Then try to choose that file. However, since the last big OS-X update it's been doing this. Everytime I choose a file or photo it's adding the entire file not just the 1 photo. And Iv managed to add 3 files so far to that list.
Any ideas? Thx, Mike

Cannot delete .band files from desktop

I was working on a file in GarageBand, I saved the .band file on my desktop, but after I quit GarageBand without saving the work, the .band file went a little weird. I tried dragging it to the trash and cmd-delete it but the message came up saying "The item “Recording Final.band” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted." Later I launched GarageBand again, and when I tried to drag the weird .band file from desktop to the GarageBand icon on my dock, the dock appears to crash, my wallpaper went gray for a second and then the dock came back up. Also when I select the file and hit space bar to do a quick look it shows up saying No Items Selected. I like to keep my desktop tidy don't want these files here blocking the way. Anyone knows the solution to the problem?

The first thing I'd do is just restart your system. You might find the file has disappeared. If not, try deleting it again. If you get the same error msg, do as follows.
Enable 'show path bar' in Finder > View. Highlight the problem file and make a note of the path.
Open Terminal and use the
rm <path to file>
command to remove it (remove the angled brackets). If you want to be on the safe side, use the command
cd <parent directory of file>
to move into the correct folder first.
Example
Suppose the path is:
Lion > Music > Garageband > problemfile.band
In Terminal, you'd type
cd ~/Music/Garageband
Then type
ls -l
Assuming you see 'problemfile.band' in the list, type
rm problemfile.band
If you get an error, try
sudo rm problemfile.band
and enter your admin password (which will be invisible when you type it).
If you still get an error msg, post back here, stating the error msg.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

Hello,
We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
file.
I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

Hello Bria,
What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items:
User
Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to specified drives in My
Computer
There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?
