How do I delete files that have been downloaded?

there are files in my download I would like to remove as they seem to be causing a problem with my computer performance.

You can right click a file in the Firefox/Tools > Downloads window and choose "Open Containing Folder" to go to that folder and delete the file. If that entry is grayed then the file is already deleted.

  • Deleteing files that have been downloaded by Software Update Service

    I have an XServe that is set to download the latest updates from Apple, and the the workstations pull the updates from the machine. I noticed the XServe was running out of space. I had a look and found that over 11GB of files are sitting in the following destination:
    Macintosh HD/usr/share/swupd/html
    These look like all the software updates that have been downloaded.
    How do I delete these files? If I had to just delete the files in this destination would it affect anything? I don't see anywhere in the software update service to delete the files it has downloaded.
    Also by looking at the machine, the System Drive is 80GB, and the Software updates are 11GB's. And I only have 2GB's left on the machine. I have made all the invisible files visible, but still cannot see where all the other data is sitting.
    I have used the WhatSize app and still cannot find the remainder files taking up all the space?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    What happens if you use a "offline browser" like HTTrack and
    open these
    files in DW?

  • How do i delete photos that have been downloaded from my computer

    It was downloaded from my camera fo my computer to my ipad and the photo folder in my computer has gone missing at a great time… not
    So how do i delete it??

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • HOW DO I FIND FILES THAT HAVE BEEN TRANSFERED FORM MY PC TO MY MAC

    How do i locate files that have been transfered from my PC to my new MacBook Pro

    Depends how they were transferred. If you used Migration Assistant, a new user was created. Look there in your documents folder. If you used Setup Assistant, look in your documents folder.

  • How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

    Why would you be surprised?  You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account.  Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose.  Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

  • How do I delete videos that have been imported from iPhoto?

    Somehow I imported to iMovie 11 all the videos I have in iPhoto and they've been broken down into clips (thumbnails?). I don't want those videos/clips in iMovie or on my hard drive at all! (I just want to keep the originals in iPhoto.) How can I actually delete them rather than hiding/moving them? I've tried highlighting them and using Delete or Command/Delete, but that doesn't seem to work.

    iMovie does not have a physical copy of your clips. They reside in the iPhoto library and iMovie references them there. You have to delete them in iPhoto. But be careful, that is your only copy.
    You can prove this to yourself by right-clicking on one of your iPhoto event clips in iMovie and selecting "REVEAL IN FINDER". It should take you to a folder within iPhoto.

  • Deleting files that have been extracted from a zip archive

    Can we PLEASE get an update that will allow us to delete the files that were extracted from a zip archive. This is ridiculous. A quick google brings back loads of threads all over the place about people who want to be able to delete files but can't because of some daft bug. 
    How are RIM not aware of this? Do they not care?

    There is a bug in the .zip decompressor used by the native file manager. It incorrectly applies file permissions sometimes stored in the archive to the extracted files, preventing them from being deleted by us mere mortals. Once extracted, there's nothing you can do.
    <plug>
      You could, of course, use Files & Folders to extract your zip files, which doesn't suffer from this problem.

  • CPI file HELP!!!  I have a huge problem.  I just discovered that the files that have been downloaded from my Canon VIXIA HF100 camcorder are all ".cpi" files.  The worst part is that the files were erased from the memory card and camera.  HELP!

    So basically I cannot redownload any of the files (which are all my daughter's videos from birth through age 2) and am stuck with just the CPI versions.  Is there a way to convert them?  If not, are there any programs that will play CPI files?  I had downloaded a free player a few months ago, but now I cannot find anything anywhere.  PLEASE HELP!  Thanks!

    CPI files were originally a proprietory Sony format. You can read more about that here, including details of the applications that can convert them:

  • How do I recover files that have been deleted but were not in trash

    I was just going through my files and deleting old ones but once I had emptied the trash a number of other files are now gone.
    These files were not selected and were not even in the trash folder, but they are still gone.
    Any idea on how this happens and if its possible to recover them? They were not overly important but its still an inconvenience. And no they were not backed up. All constructive suggestions welcome. Cheers

    Recover them from your Time Machine backup.  If you don't have a Time Machine backup then now is a good time to create one.  You could lose files or the entire disk at any time.  Your data is much more valuable than the $75 hard drive you will need for a Time Machine backup.
