How do i delete file names showing up that no longer exist? thx

I have bought Groupons that convert to PDF files. Once I print them, the file name remains on Adobe Reader X. I can't figure out how to delete these. The file itself is basically empty. Can't figure this out and I don't see any way to delete the title. I don't use PDF myself and have no idea what to do to delete. Most stuff, I can right click, scroll to delete and it's gone. Not so on Adobe !!! Just want to clean up the computer. These files have been printed & used - they need to go !!!!
Thanks for any help

How do I delete apps on my iPhone that no longer exist on the app store?

So, I finally took the time to clean up my app library tonight. What resulted is a little frustrating. After deleting all the old apps I no longer use, my iPhone decided to sync for some reason and 24 apps that I had just deleted were synced to my iPhone. They were in a waiting state and difficult to delete, but I figured it out. I just had to re-download them from the app store and then re-delete them. My problem now is that 2 of the apps don't exist any more on the app store, so I can't re-download them to delete them. They are both dark and have with their name below them until I touch them, then they say waiting but nothing happens. If I touch and hold to delete them, they do start to wiggle with the "x" above them, and hitting the "x" brings up the delete screen but nothing happens when I press delete. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I did try restarting my iPhone to no avail. And, the 2 apps are "Emoji Free!", and "ZJ", which I think stands for Zombie Jombie.
Thanks in advance.

If they are in itunes and selected to sync, then they will sync back to the iphone if you do as the above post suggests.
You can deselect them in itunes and sync. This will remove them from iphone, but leave them in itunes.
You can delete then from itunes and sync and they will be gone from iphone and itunes.

How to change protected variants created by users that no longer exist

There are several older variants for which background jobs are scheduled for daily prcessing. These variants were created and protected by uses that no longer exist in SAP.
How to unprotect and change these variants to reflect new requirements.

Hi Anam
1. Execute tcode VARCH and enter the program and variant name and make the changes, if the system allows you to do so.
2. Check with the basis/security team if they can extend the validity and reset the password for the old ids.
3. If the above doesnt work, you will need to copy the variants manually
Moving forward, when you create/change jobs, request the basis/security team to create common ids like OTCADM, P2PADM, etc. Ensure that all the variants and jobs are created/changed using this common id. Basis/Security team can controll by opening and closing the ADM account on request from project team and the usage can be recorded for tracking.
To check the jobs that use a known variant, use tables TBTCP, TBTCO.

How to find ATL file name and timestamp of importing for existing DI code?

A tester is not sure about the version of the ATL code which was imported into his local repository. Is there anyway he can get the imported ATL file name and/or timestamp from the repository or a log file? I searched in both places but couldn't find any information. Did I miss something? This is DI 11.5.3.
Thanks,
Larry

I don't think the information about the source of how the object was created in repo is maintained anywhere, like this version of object was created from ATL or from Designer etc
but different versions of objects are stored in AL_LANG and its language in AL_LANGTEXT table, if you have not compacted the repo, you may get the last modified time from AL_ATTR table, try getting the data from these table and see if you get any info that is useful for you

How to get rid of files on time machine that no longer exist

I replaced my computer several months ago when my old one died. A large amount of data which was in a partition on my old computer is still on my time machine and is taking up a lot of space and forcing time machine to delete backups much sooner than I would like. I don't know how to get rid of it. If I try to delete that folder from an individual backup, I get the message, "The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified." Of course, I can't delete it from my new computer because it's not there! Any help appreciated.
Marion

The best method is to archive the contents of the TC to a disk.. archive is available via the airport utility.
Simply plug in a USB drive large enough to store all the material presently on the TC, 1TB or 2TB or 3TB.. whichever model it is.
Archive I have drawn red box around.
Once the archive has completed ..
Use the Erase disk.. just the Quick erase is ok.. takes a couple of min and then you have a nice empty drive to start loading TM backups on.

How to delete file names from Adobe Reader list

How can I delete file names from the Adobe Reader list? I have deleted the file & it's empty, but deleted file names remain in my list & it's very annoying. I can't seem to find an option anywhere to delete the file names.

Thanks for the answer, I will try this & post my results with this method. I have set the amount to zero, & it seems if I want to put back valid files into my list I first need to find them in another file in my pc, such as documents, open them in Adobe Reader, & then then they will reappear in the Adobe Reader list. Is this correct? Thank you!
This seems to be the case, you need to restore each file you want in your list one by one by accessing them elsewhere on your pc, & then you must open them with Adobe Reader to have files reappear in your Adobe Reader list. However, this seems to be a tedious process if you only want to delete one obsolete file from your list by first emptying the list & rebuilding it file by file. It works, but I'm wondering if there is a more sensible & efficient way to do this?

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

# Question
When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

How do I delete files permanently from a usb flash key? On my mac (Yosemite 10.10) it's telling me the files are deleted, however on plugging key into television they're still there

I've a problem I've never come across before and it's how to permanently delete files on a usb flash key? I've just migrated from using Windows for 15 years onto Apple iMac and had been deleting files easily and permanently from the key on Windows without any hassle and thought I'd done the same on my iMac but seemingly they're still there as the tele is showing them when key is plugged in, BUT they can not be seen on iMac. I wondered why the key wouldn't take anymore files after, what I thought was, deletion and now I know why-imac hasn't deleted them!
I've actually gone into Disk Utility and formatted the key in it's usual FAT32 format to finally delete the files. Anyone any ideas as to why this happens and how to solve this please?
Many thanks

In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
._Files
Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

My start up disk is full. How do I delete files from this?

My air is saying my start up disk is full. How do I delete files from it? Is there a specific location I'm supposed to delete from, or is it just general files from everywhere--email, etc.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How can I hide file names in a photostream?

How can I hide file names in a shared photo stream on icloud. I don't want people to see how many pictures I take at an event. Can this be done to pictures already posted?

The Shared Photo Stream uses the filename of the original image file as the title that is shown in the stream. If you want to hide the original filename, export the image to a folder in the Finder, rename it, then reimport it to share it. You can rename the files directly when exporting.
Or, if you do not mind to change the names of the originals in Aperture use the command "Metadata > Batch change" and change the title of the image, with the option "Apply to Original file" enabled and "Add metadata from" set to "None".
To rename the photos already shared, delete them from the Shared Album and share them again.

Hi
Just for completeness, what version of VB.NET are you using?
Here is a complete project to copy all the files with the added "ABL," at the start of each line. You need to start a new Project with a BLANK default Form1, and replace all of Form1 code with the code below. When you run this project, you
need to use the 2 buttons to set up the ORIGINAL file folder and a folder to place the copies. You need to check if the file EXTENSION is correct (I assumed txt), and check the text to add to each line is correct. Once all is set up you should have a
big red button to start the operation.
NOTE: it is important that you try this out on a copy of some of the files to verify accuracy BEFORE trying on original files. Make sure you have a good back up of the original files before doing anything else.

How do i delete files from adobe reader?

How do I delete files that I do not want to view again from adobe reader?

You want to delete the actual PDF files, or just the entries in the Recent Documents list?
If it's the files, delete them from where they are stored on your local disk.
If it's the Recent Documents list, that depends on your operating system.

Where can I find the Start up disk and how can I delete file from it.

where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
How can I delete files from it?

The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA. You may delete files by draging the file to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete). Then empty Trash.
Ciao.
