How do I delete a folder without moving focus to parent folder?

I posted this question in the Apple support forum and have concluded it is specific to Adobe Bridge.
Is it possible to delete a folder and keep the focus in place instead of moving the focus to the parent folder?
I sort my photos according to year then date as follows:
2010
2011
2012
     01022012
     01032012
     01152012
     01252012
     02102012
     12202012
     12242012
     12302012
2013
The list of subfolders inside each year can be quite long. In order to manage my files/folder, I need to delete SUBFOLDERS (not just files) from the list. The problem is that when a subfolder is deleted, the focus moves to the parent folder, the year, instead of keeping its position and rolling the list of subfolders up.
Any recommendations will be appreciated. I am hoping there is a short cut key that I can use to avoid the problem

I see what you mean but is seems as designed to always focus on the parent folder when deleting a subfolder while Finder has the option to just point to a folder and with right mouse click menu choose trash without the OS focussing on the selected folder.
Would be a nice Feature Request I would think.
Meanwhile you might try your luck in the Bridge Scripting Forum, the folks around there have found the most impossible solutions so maybe they know a solution for you?

How do I delete a clip without every other clip in my timeline moving over?

So i've been editing for hours, and somehow, the first 30 seconds of my movie were screwed up. So now i'm trying to re-edit the first 30 seconds. When i try to delete a clip, the rest of the clips following the deleted one, move over to this empty space. I do not want this to happen!!!!! I want the other clips to stay in the same place!!!! How do I delete a clip without having all the clips after it move over to the deleted space????
Please help.
Thank you.

Hello, richardzulu!
Welcome to the discussions.
In answer to your question, the clips behind the one you delete must move over to close the gap between the clips, an empty space left by the clip that you deleted. Otherwise, you would have a black/blank part in your movie.
You CAN purposely create a black clip if you wish, but probably you just want the movie to continue as you have created it, leaving out the deleted clip. If your movie is just video, it should work out to be the same once the deleted clip is gone.
However, if you have added some other audio, and not locked it to its corresponding video clip, the timing of the audio to the video will be off. Use the "Advanced" tool to select 'Lock audio clip at playhead' to avoid this. Once the audio is locked to a specific video clip, edits to other clips can be done without separating the audio and video. Occasionally, they still do get misaligned, so you do have to keep checking.
If you really want to keep all the other clips the same without doing anything else, switch to Timeline view, and move the trailing movie over from the clip you want to delete, making sure that the length you move is the same as the clip to be deleted. Then, delete the clip. iMovie will create a black clip in that space and the rest of your clips will remain untouched. However, as I said, the movie will be interupted by this black clip.

How do I delete a folder that won't delete? When I send to trash, it just reappears.

How do I delete a folder that won't delete? When I send it to trash, it just reappears. I have restarted my computer and tried, and it still won't go to trash.

Right or control click the folder then click Get Info
If Locked is checked, uncheck then try moving the folder to the Trash.

On my windows Itunes I changed computers and ended up with two of every song. How do I delete the duplicates without doing it one at a time?

I have duplicates of all the songs on my windows 7 computer. I changed computers and ended up with duplicates of all of my songs. How can I delete them all without having to do it one at a time? thanks!

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 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.
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 and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

I have a big problem.
I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
(Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
Thank you

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress?

How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress? Is there a way through iCloud? I have an 8gb 4th gen iPod touch. I have a lot of music, so with 8gb, space is limited. Some apps I have take up 20-30 MB. Some of these games I don't play that much, but I don't delete them because I have made a lot of progress (levels, scores, acheivements). It would be nice to delete some of these 30 MB apps that take up precious space, and them redownload them in the future when I have more space, but without having to start the whole game over.
Also, I read somewhere that there might be a way to do this with iCloud, but I don't really know how.
Thanks!

This is the only way I know of. It is messy though.

Hi. How can I delete the table without deleting the content? My pages is 5.2.2.

Hi. How can I delete the table without deleting the content? My pages version is 5.2.2. Thank you for your help.

There is no convert Table to text capability in Pages v5.2.2, as there was in Pages ’09 v4.3.
You can keep the table while making the table grid vanish, leaving the existing tabular text structure. Select the table, and under the Format panel > Table tab, the following settings will produce this output. If selected, you can refine its document placement in the Arrange tab.

I have apps that needs to be updated that shows my old account. How do I delete this info without losing my purchases?

iTunes purchases cannot be transferred between accounts. If you no longer wish to use the old account at all, you should delete those apps and repurchase them with the new account.
On the other hand, you could also (and should have before creating a new account - contact iTunes support to deal with account security: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

How do I delete a folder?

Just so ou all new I am a brand new Mac user.
How do I delete a folder in Leopard? I'll highlight a folder, press delete, go to file and select move to trash but it wont do anything. However if i open the folder I can delete the individual files within the folder. Its frustrating! Also every time I click on delete or move to trash it keeps asking for a password. Is there a way I can make it so it doesn't ask that each time I want to delete something?

Normal way to delete a file/folder is: select file/folder, and command+backspace = put the selected file/folder in the bin (U can ofcause just drag the file/folder to the bin with ur mouse). Then press commandshiftbackspace to empty the bin.
Command = apple key next to the space key
Shift key = key to the left with arrow (for uppercase letters)
Backspace = Same as delete key (but macbooks dont have delete, just backspace)
AND files/folders must be unlocked to b deleted. Select a file, Press command+I, in the newly opened info-panel uncheck "locked". The selected file is now unlocked and can b deleted.
BUT as stated elsewhere MAC OS might have a good reason not to allow deleting of systemfiles. You may damage you system if deleting systemfiles.
As a new Mac user, make it a habbit to ask here and in other mac forums. Mac people are generally very helpfull people, thow they might tease you a bit (they have plenty humor toooo).
And as a courtesy to those who help out - let them know if you problem was solved.
Once a mac - u never go back...
Best regards

How do I delete a folder that I moved to Trash from my external backup drive when a virus was detected? Trash will not delete the folder.

I have tried unsuccessfully to remove a folder from Trash. My anti-virus program (Sophos) detected a virus which had to be manually removed. I tried (unsuccessfully) to find and remove the infected file. I moved the Folder from my external backup drive and placed it in Trash. Now I cannot get Trash to delete the folder. It asks me if I wish to delete "unlocked" or "all" items. Either selection does not delete the folder. I went to change the permissions to "read & write" and unlocked the folder, but it is still there. I tried to "move" the folder from Trash back to the external harddrive but it seems I can only "copy" it and not "move" it. I am afraid that by copying it, I will not have the folder in two locations (Trash & External HD).
Would appreciate any suggestions and guidance on this. I hope that I have explained the problem clearly!
Thank you!

Before deleting it we should know more about this folder and its contents.
If it is invected and is using other apps, or other apps are still using it, then it cannot be deleted in the normal manner.
You might contact Sophos and ask them about it.
If you are using TM or have a backup of your system before the infection occurred, then you can delete the item(s) in Trash, but there is the possiblity of system corruption and the need for a reinstall, if any of these files are necessary for the OS to work properly, even though they are infected.
Sophos may not have been able to remove the infection from inside a file which is why they suggested manual removal.
You might consider downloading and running ClamXav first and see if it can't do better than Sophos.
All that being said, you can always remove the contents of the Trash using the terminal. Usually as administrator, or in some cases as root (su). Unless you are very familiar with the terminal I do not suggest doing this without some study.

In photoshop elements 12 I try to delete a folder but the delete option is grayed out. how can I delete a folder from my catalogue?

how can I delete folders from photoshop elements 12. the option to delete is grayed out an I don't know what the alternative options are

Got it fixed! The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed? To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
Then change the Open With to iPhoto application!
Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto! WALLA it worked!
