How do I delete the Ipod folder cache?? (in ilife '08)

just got an ipod and thought it would be fun to have all my pictures on it... not knowing that itunes makes a complete copy of all my pictures (25gb) in iphoto: iTunes constructs a photo database on your hard drive in order to make photo syncing fast when you add new photos in the future.
now this completely ate all my reserve hard drive space on my laptop and now I don't want pictures on my ipod...so I deleted them... but the itunes photo database still exists on the hard drive of my laptop... not giving me back the 25gb of hard drive space I really need!
someone helped me to find the following link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300225
but when I search the folder ipod folder cache I get the same folder as iPhoto Library,
this is what I get: users/me/pictures/iphoto Library
when I click it to open my iphoto opens...
so how can I delete the Ipod folder cache with iphoto '08 7.1.1

I found the answer....
go to the folder of your pictures, then either right click (or ctrl + left mouse) on iphoto library then click show pakket, then you will find the Ipod folder cache which then can be deleted...

  • How do you delete the ipod photo cache?

    I added photos to my Ipod and it came up with a folder called "Ipod Photo Cache", It also came up with a folder called "Photo Library". When I enter both folders the only option I am given is to edit the picture but not delete it. Could someone please tell me how to delete the two folders?

  • How do I delete the apple folder in common files

    I am trying to delete the apple folder from common files.  When I click on apple, internet services comes up.  I tried to delet those but it says they are open in the internet.  I don't know how to close them.  Please help.

    I just fixed this.  I had to,delete iCloud from my PC.  Make sure it is still on your ipad, etc.!!!  There were programs open in iCloud preventing me from deleting all the apple files so that I could reinstall itunes.  I did not find that out on any of the apple support postings.  Apple should have told me to delete iCloud as they did the other components.

    This is the correct solution...
    1. Sign into iCloud account (the one linked to the inactive photostream album)
    2. Make sure photostream is turned ON
    3. Take a picutre, and wait for it to appear in the Photostream.
    4. Go into setting and turn off photostream, deleting all pictures, and getting rid of the photostream album.

    I have an SD card for my Raspberry Pi, and my Pi was acting up, so I downloaded Raspbian. I have hidden folders visible. I opened up my SD, and I deleted everything. Little did I know, it ended up in the .Trashes folder. I literally have 58.7 MB left on an 8 GB SD. Someone please help!

  • How can I delete the contents in Cache.Trash folder (not the normal Cache folder)?

    Recently, I keep receiving notice of "Hard Disk is Full - You have run out of disk space on drive C. To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Clean-up". But after I removed a substantial sizes of files to another drive, in a short while, the notice reappear again. I was puzzled and take a check on the files and folders in drive C and realized the problem came from those unknown files in the folder named Cache.Trash (not the normal Cache folder although they are located side by side). Some files sizes are shockingly large ranging from 2GB to 5GB. They have strange and difficult to identify File Name and File Types. When I checked the Properties of those files, they have unknown MS-DOS name, Created, Modified and Accessed dates. When I tried to delete those files directly, a notice of "Error Deleting File: Cannot delete file: File system error (1026)" appeared. Note: There are still many Free Space available in other disk drives. Any idea please?

    There is no session crash here. On others start, the Cache.Trash folder and its contents still there. When a ScanDisk program is performed, after some time, a notice appeared, "ScanDisk has restarted 10 times because Windows or another program has been writing to this drive. Quitting some running programs may enable ScanDisk to finish sooner. Do you want to continue receiving this warning?" So I closed any other running application and program and restart the ScanDisk program again. After some time, the notice appeared again. I clicked No to indicate do not want to continue receiving this warning and the program keep repeating running.....how long will the program take?

  • How to delete the home folder of a deleted account?

    After I set up a new account, I transferred everything from my old macbook pro to my new iMac (so it has a moutain lion system. I'm sure you know it. Just want to make it clear ) through migration assistance from time machine. Then I realized that an extra account (my old one) plus many unnecessary data had been transferred to my new iMac. Therefore, I decided to delete this old account.
    HOWEVER, when I deleted the account, I failed to delete the home folder--I chose to delete it securely; but after it started backing up, I simply cancel the backup (which is a HUGE mistake) Then I found the account was deleted but its home folder stayed-- it occupied over 150GB of my new iMac.
    Could anyone tell me how I can delete the home folder securely?
    in addition, since I only want to transfer iphoto pictures, iTune music and some important documents to my new account, should I simply copy thme to an external drive and transfer them to my new account?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    In system preferences, create a new account again, using the short name of the "deleted" account. You may be prompted to re-use the old home folder. Log out and log in to test it worked. Then log in as your new admin, and do the delete process again. Don't choose to securely delete this time - just a regular delete.
    When you have time to spare, go to Disk Utility, and use the Erase tab to securely erase free space on the drive. This will accomplish the same thing that your originally tried to do. Use the fastest method - anything more secure is a waste of time. You may need to run it overnight - it can take several hours.

  • Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive.  how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

    how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

    If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
    If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

  • How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch?

    How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch? For instance: I don't want the app "Stocks" to appear on my screen any more. Is there a way to delete/hide it?

    The built in Apps can't be deleted, but they can be moved to an unused screen. You could create a folder of all unused Apps and move it.
