How could I delete the physical files associated with songs that iTunes has matched to iCloud Match?

I would like to make room on my external drive.
I need to be able to delete the songs that are matched in iTunes.
Using the delete right-click option does remove the entry form the itunes Directory but NOT the physical files.
I have my iTunes Library manually managed.
I cannot recognized from the Folder which files are linked to songs that are matched and which ones are not.
Any help will be welcomed.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

EA Could Not Find The .html File Associated With...

After naming folder names, I now get the "EA could not find the .html file associated with..." message when I open the .edge file. When I open the .an file, I have all elements and the timeline are gone! How can I restore it? Surely, it is just a question of changing a path, or? Please help. Thanks!

From the File > Open menu, browse to the that same folder (the newly renamed one), and select the .html file.

Unzip issue: Could not delete the zip file after unzip it

I have issue with the following code, the purpose is to unzip first then delete the zip file. But I could not delete the zip file. When I put a break point before my delete() call, I manually delete it and get the file is used by another process. Please help. Here is my code;
try{
File primeZip = new File(dir, fileName);
ZipInputStream zipStream = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(primeZip));
     ZipFile zf = new ZipFile(primeZip);
     OutputStream out = null;
     for (Enumeration em = zf.entries(); em.hasMoreElements();){
          String fileName = em.nextElement().toString();
          out = new FileOutputStream(fileName );
          byte[] buf = new byte[16384];
          int len;
          while ((len = zipStream.read(buf)) > 0) {
               out.write(buf, 0, len);
          out.flush();
          out.close();
     out.flush();
               out.close();
               zipStream.close();
primeZip.delete();
}catch(FileNotFoundException e){
}catch(IOException e){

How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated. But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library. How can I delete the old file? So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there. Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

How can I change the email address associated with my iCloud account?

When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address. How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I delete an email address associated with an apple id? And how do I deleted an apple id account?

Right, if the Apple ID is already set up, then you cannot change it to None until you put a credit card on the account.
If you set up a brand new Apple ID by first downloading a Free app, and then setting up the ID as a part of that process, then it can be None.
Here's the support article with the info on how to do it either way:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?

How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?
I have an apple ID that i have associated with my account but I want to change it to another ID that I just created. I needed to create this new ID so that both my wife and I can use the ID for our shared iTunes account and then we each have our own apple IDs with our own calendars, contacts, etc.

Change it on what way ? You can update the primary email address on an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device and signing into the account, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
If you want to log out of the account so that you can log in with a different account then tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store if using an iOS device and sign out, or on a computer's iTunes use the Store > Sign Out menu option. Any content downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account, so only that account will be able to redownload it and/or download updates to its apps

Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

Photoshop's "Background" is a special layer and does not support transparency. You need to convert a Background layer to a normal layer if to want to cut out parts of the layer.
