How do I delete a corrupted audiobook file on my iTouch?

I purchased and downloaded my second audiobook last weekend but after 4 hours into the first part, the audio stopped and then it skipped to part 2. I could not find a way to redownload my purchase again for audiobooks. I emailed support and they put another copy for me to download and told me to delete the file before downloading. Since I did not know how to delete the file without plugging into iTunes on my PC, i did so, but the sync started automatically - I thought it was not marked to not do it automatically - and so the download proceeded. Now the version on my PC appears to be working and not skipping. When I did a sync to my iTouch, it did not overwrite the bad file - it still skips oabout 4 hours. I thought if I could delete it off the iTouch, the good version might then download, but I do not know how to delete it on just the iTouch.

I found an answer elsewhere on this site:
I unchecked the audiobook in iTunes and then ran an autosync - apparently it has to autosync - and the bad file disappeared on the iTouch. I then checked the audiobook again, did another sync and when I went to the place where there was a problem and checked the sound, it looks like the new good file is now on my iTouch. Hope this helps someone else.

How can i delete a corrupted sparsebundle file

My TimeCapsule sparsebundle file is corrupt and cannot be opened by TimeMachine anymore. However I cannot delete it either, error message: "The process could not be completed as the object "bands" is in use." (my translation from my German original: "Der Vorgang konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden, da das Objekt "bands" in Verwendung ist")
ANY IDEA HOW I CAN DELETE THAT SPARSEBUNDLE WITHOUT FORMATTING EVERYTHING?
Maybe you need the whole story to come up with some good ideas, this is how it came:
- I bought a new 500GB TimeCapsule and tried to do a first backup. It ran the whole night through and wasnt done the next morning. However I had to leave to work and had to cancel it at 80% or so.
- I tried it again on the weekend, but hat to cancel again after dozens of hours of slow backup without success. Finally the sparsebundle file had grown to several hundred GB and I thought I better delete it before trying to backup again.
- Hence: I picked the file and delete, confirmed that it would be deleted straight away (without being moved to the basket before), it started deleting but stopped half way.
- SO NOW: i can neither use the file through timemachine, nor get rid of the file to start timemachine again.
Thanks in advance for your ideas...

I tried downgrading the firmware back to 7.3 and that didn't work for me either, neither did resetting the Time Capsule.
It ended up that my sparsebundle was in indeed corrupted (for the 2nd time now) which is completely crazy to me!...
I did find out *WHY my sparsebundle kept getting corrupted*:
I learned that when time machine is turned on, if the computer goes to sleep, about 50% of the time, that will "corrupt" the sparsebundle!
What I had to do last night was delete my sparsebundle (again) and then do the dreaded, long "first backup" all over (overnight).
I made a point to go to the "*energy saver*" on my preferences to change the settings on it so that it wouldn't put the MacBook to sleep (both on the battery and power options) so that my sparsebundle won't get corrupted again!
This was really frustrating, and that little piece of information should be included with the Time Capsule for consumers so that they can avoid the frustrations that we've all apparently been having. I'm suprised at Apple, and a little disappointed in all of the time that I spent/lost dealing with the Time Machine and Time Capsule.
Hope this helps :0l

How do you delete [empty] a single file or folder from "Trash"?

How do you delete [empty] a single file or folder from "Trash"?
Can you "securely delete" just 1 item?

A dangerous and incorrect shell command has been posted in this thread.
NEVER empty the Trash in the shell (Terminal.) NEVER put anything in the Trash unless you intend to delete it immediately. If you do put something in the Trash and change your mind about deleting it, move it out or use the Put Back contextual menu item. Then empty the remaining items in the Trash as usual.

How can I delete the photos or files in my icloud storage that is no longer needed?

Explain how it didn't work and what you are trying to delete. Since icloud doesn't store photos except for those in a backup (then delete the backup); photos in photo stream do not count towards your storage limit.

Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file?

Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file, but under my preferneces & under my devices, there is no old backup file to delete, so I can't delete a corrupt one if i dont have any?!

I know this is a late reply was wondering if you had the problem still as I have been having this problem for many months. Today I was looking around getting ****** off why it was not working and I found my culprit and thought I would see if it would help you. Not sure if you, like me, changed your itunes media store location somewhere other than the default location. What I noticed was in Users>UserName>AppData>Roaming>AppleComputer>MobileSync there was a backup folder with a shared link icon on it and when I double clicked on it windows promptly brought up an error that its location was not valid. So I figured since it was not valid and I did not have any backups anyways I deleted the folder and then went to itunes and tried a sync and it worked perfectly again. The backup folder was re-created properly and the stupid corrupt error went away.

How do I delete the synced offline files from my iPhone?

Hey people! I just unchecked "offline" for all my playlists on my iPhone to free up some memory. However the usage of the Spotify-App is still shown with 1GB. Is there any way to get rid of the cached songs besides reinstalling the app? Regards, Marius

Spotify are currently collecting information about this, since in theory that is what should happen
No one from Spotify has posted since Meredith asked for user info regarding the bug. Generally that may not be so surprising as it has only been a couple of months. Howerver, it is not as it was news to the Staff. This thread:Help-iOS-iPhone-iPad-iPod-Touch/How-do-I-delete-the-synced-offline-files-from-my-iPhone is from spring 2012.
My point is that I think it would be good if everyone experiencing this problem made some noise.

How do I delete all corrupted duplicates from iphoto '09?

Hello.
I am not a computer person so before I say anything, just please don't allow your disdain of me to come through in your replies.
Somehow I have 44,000 images in my iPhoto library and I am guessing that half of them are corrupted duplicates (and triplicates, etc.) that won't even open. I also have the original images in the library which are not corrupted.
My question is how do I delete all the corrupted duplicates and simplify the library so that there are NO duplicates? I have no reason to have any duplicates.
Also, these corrupted duplicates may have been mistaken for the real photos and the real photos (some of them) are now sitting in the Trash folder.
I have made a mess of things. Can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you in advance,
Haley
