How do I permanently delete video files?

How do I permanently delete video files?

Perhaps you do not have permissions to move the file.  Do a get info on a file you cannot delete. Open the details triangle.  Report back. 
This seems rather odd.  Is the file on an internal or exernal disk?
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
You should run disk utility to verify the disk and to update your permissions.
You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.

  • How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my  computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

    Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

  • How do I permanently delete Numbers files on the iPad?

    Friends:
    How do I permanently delete Numbers files on the iPad? I use the trash button, and they seem to be deleted, but they are not. If I leave Numbers and come back, I can still load the deleted files!
    How do i permanently delete them?
    Thanks
    Migs

    Do you mean to delete them from numbers, or from the shared folder location in the upper right? The previous poster was addressing the second. If you want to completely delete something from the iPad, you must do both, the trash can icon when e current workbook is in front of the list, and swipe to delete from the shared folder list. It's two completely different locations.

  • How do you permanently delete a file image in the catalogue

    how do you permanently delete a file image in the ?

    Highlight the image, press the delete key, in the dialog that appears click the button that says, "Delete from disk."
    If you want to delete multiple images you can go through your images and when one is highlighted that you want to delete press the X key. That will mark the image for deletion. After you have gone through the images on Windows you can press Ctrl/backspace to display the same dialogue I described above. And you can choose to remove the marked images from the catalog or to delete them from your disk.

  • How do I permanently delete videos from iPad 2?

    I delete videos bought on iPad and those transferred from Mac but when I connect the iPad to the Mac many re-appear on iPad. They are gray in list but they take up memory. IOS 5 on iPad, not iTunes.

    Thanks for the reply. However, I do not want to delete a photo. I want to delete a video -- TV show, to be exact. They are not in my iTunes library. When I connect the iPad to my Mac, they show up in gray, not black in the list of items on my device, but seem to take up memory. I am not sure if they are actually "there". However, there are limits to the memory on my iPad until I delete them. How do I make sure they do not return?

  • How can I permanently delete itunes files?

    I moved my itunes library to an external hard-drive, but it still shows all the albums in my library.  If I try to play an album, it says the file has been moved.  How can I clean up my library so it doesn't show those files anymore?

    When opening itunes keep the option(alt) key pressed on the keyboard.
    I dialog box opens and you can choose your external Library on your hard drive. Sounds like iTunes is still trying to access the itunes library on the local drive which you have deleted. That is why you have all the exclammation marks by your content because iTunes can not find the files.
    This will then always use the hard drive as your itunes library. Just ensure that the Hard drive is not in a sleep state when you start iTunes otherwise it will default to your local machine.
    Just click on it in finder to wake it up

  • How do I permanently delete RAW files?

    iMac hard drive nearly full of 'other', I suspect CR2 (RAW) files as this is basically all I have on there. Have copied masters to external drive, and started to delete from Aperture lib but storage capacity not changing. Have emptied trash and restarted. It could be a simple fix. I am blonde. So sorry also if this is on the wrong place

    I would of said to look at your time machine system because since Lion came out TM has included a feature that saves all changed and or deleted files in a system called local snapshots. But Apple, OS X, supposedly only enables that feature on notebook Mac's and you are on a desktop iMac. That is unless you enabled it yourself or Apple has no implemented it for all Mac computers.

  • Permanently deleting old files Ive put in trash.

    I know that some files will leave bits and pieces around after I have put them in the trash and clicked "empty trash". How do I permanently delete these files? I know there is some sort of application to do it, and I would like for my computer to run better, and I dont see why the "10 things I hate about you" movie ive already deleted and put on my ipod is still hurting my comp. Thank you very much.

    Once you delete something it's gone ...at least as far as the system is concerned. You can use 'Secure Empty Trash' from the Finder drop-down menu to more thoroughly delete something. If an item is still lingering around ...perhaps you only deleted a part of it and it may have extra files in other locations.
    This app may help...

  • How to delete video files that do not work

    Hi there,
    I am frustrated. I just want to delete video files from my iTunes because they will not work on my iPod...I don't care about all the technical ****, I just want to delete the files so that when I update my iPod, they are taken away.
    Thanks for your help!

    Just locate the videos you want to delete in your iTunes library and delete them, simple as that.

  • How to properly sync own video files with played / unplayed state?

    Since iOS7 (I think) the Videos app on iOS is no longer showing the "unplayed" blue dot next to a movie files that I have added manually to iTunes.
    In old iTunes versions, at least iTunes showed me inside the library view which movie files had been played with the blue dot.
    Now with the Yosemite Upgrade and new iTunes, when I go to "Movies" (left hand side icon) then on the middle section on "Home Videos" then I get my old listing of video files, but there is no played/unplayed state icon. There is a column "Plays" and "Last Played", but those do not indicate if the video was watched fully or only just a second of it.
    When going to my iPhone sync view however, the seen/unseed blue dots do show up. But in that view, I cannot delete video files. Usually I delete videos files after I watched them, and currently it is impossible for me to delete the video files, as I cannot see which ones are seen. Plus, on the iOS Video app in iOS 8.1, I still cannot see which videos were played - on top of that, when I delete a video file from there, and sync my iphone, it actually copies the video file to the iPhone again :-(
    Any thoughts, apart from "Dude you have a wacked workflow"? ;-)

    Hi,
    in relation to on to the above could you please share some thoughts on using AUSST in an enterprise environment spread over 50 countries i relation how to setup the AUSST, taking WAN Lines into considerations. We are using SCCM for application deployment and patching. Is there a comparising model for AUSST vs. SCCM?
    i Get the picture using AUSST in a company with one huge Building using the LAN capacity, but what technologies are used to replicate over WAN etc?

  • How can I permanently delete tracking cookies?

    I was alarmed to read the series in the series in the Wall Street Journal ( www.wsj.com/wtk ) about flash cookies, trackers, and beacons. I had always set my preferences (in Firefox) to not accept cookies, changing that only when I came to a site that required cookies (like Facebook), but then choosing the option to not accept 3rd-party cookies, changing my preferences after the visit, and deleting cookies.
    I installed the add-ons suggested by the WSJ and on this website (Adblock Plus, Better Privacy, Ghostery, PrivacyChoice TrackerWater, and Taco. There is nothing in my Library>Preferences>Macromedia file. I visited the Adobe website and followed their instructions to delete flash cookies. Yet I cannot get rid of the cookies!
    I tried this experiment: when not connected to the internet, with cookies turned off, I deleted all cookies, closed Firefox, and lo and behold, 150 cookies (yes, I counted them) had re-created themselves!
    How can I get rid of them permanently? Please don't give me any pablum about them being harmless, they help to streamline the ads being shown to me, etc. etc. I don't care about that. This is MY computer and I do not want anyone installing anything on it! It irks me that deleting cookies deletes the useful cookies -- cookies that I would chose to keep -- but keeps all these other ones.
    Please, if anyone knows, how can I permanently delete these cookies?

    Get the Add-on NoScript for Firefox.
    http://noscript.net/
    In addition, I always empty all cookies after a browsing session or at the end of the day. The worst is I have to log back in to some sites. You can't permanently eliminate the possibility of picking up a tracking cookie, but you can get rid of them if you pick one up. NoScript minimizes the chances of getting one, since you only allow the minimum scripts for a site to function. I suggest you start at the NS site and read about it. There's also a support forum which needs no registration. I won't have a lot of time today to explain much more.
    Here what you do to completely eliminate Flash cookies. This works.
    +"Delete your ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder so you're starting from a clean, shared-object-free, slate.+
    +Next, in your web browser visit http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager07.html and under the Global Privacy Settings, click the button labeled "always deny" then "confirm" to prevent Flash from watching you through your webcam or listening to you over the computer's microphone. Technically speaking this isn't necessary, but it seems like a prudent move if you don't like the idea of web sites accessing these resources. Don't bother changing anything else in the Settings Manager because the other stuff pretty much involves what and how much can get saved on your computer, and we're going to answer those questions entirely different means.+
    +Now navigate in the Finder back to your ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder and and recursively lock every file and folder inside it. This should include macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol, macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys, macromedia.com/support/flashplayer, macromedia.com/support, macromedia.com/#SharedObjects/<random letters and numbers>, macromedia.com/#SharedObjects, and finally the macromedia.com folder itself.+
    +That's it!+
    +The cool thing about this is that Flash is convinced it can store this crap so everything works, but nothing is actually remembered by Flash. Or at least nothing is remembered between browser sessions. Flash apparently never tells sites attempting to store stuff that, even though storing is enabled, it doesn't actually work and nothing gets stored."+

  • How do I permanently delete a movie I downloaded from my itunes account?

    I deleted a movie that I downloaded. Then when I signed in on a different computer the movie was there again. How can I permanently delete it from my account?

    Hi, sophiaskoub.
    Thank you for the question.  The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer.  See the first article on how to disable this feature.  The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

  • How do i permanently delete a song in my itunes library

    how can I permanently delete a song from itunes

    If you are wanting to delete a song from iTunes 11.0.1 you can select the song or album (or selected different songs by holding "down command"), once you have selected those songs. Hold down the "option/alt" + "command"  keys and then right click on the hightlighted song/s or album and go to "delete".
    NB The delete option wil not appear when you normally right click on a song/file. But if you hold down "option/alt" + "command" the "delete" selection will appear.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i permanently delete some of the shortcuts that have ended up on my preferences like good becomes bad etc

    I have some shortcuts on my keyboard settings I have repeatedly tried to get rid of - like good becomes replaced with bad - but they keep returning again. How do I permanently delete these and where?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
