How do I remove an non-existent AFP mount from user's Home listing?

Hello.
I was testing setting up a user with a Network Home Folder and everything was working fine until the external drive that was housing the Share Point (automountable, set to be used for user home folders) went down and became corrupt. As this drive was just being used for testing purposes, there was no backup and it wasn't a big deal (or so I thought). My problem now though — I have a "ghost" entry in the Workgroup Manager/Accounts/User (any user)/Home listing for the afp network home mount. If I select it, the option to remove it is grayed out, so I have no way to remove it from the listing.
Does anyone know how I can remove it from the listed? I've tried mounting a new drive, naming it the same as the old drive, and creating the Share Point again in the hopes that it would "relink". But, that didn't seem to work and I still can't remove it from the listing.
I'm hoping there's something I can edit somewhere that'll make Workgroup Manager "forget" this afp mount?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

OK, I sorted this out.
First step is to recreate the folders and Share Points exactly as per the originals. Then, Instead of disabling auto-mount and unsharing all in one go, break it up into two steps as follow:
- disbaled auto-mount and clicked save
- unshared and clicked save
Doing it as a single step (ie. disbaled auto-mount, unshare and save) doesn't work. You need to do it in two separate steps (disable auto-mount & save + unshare & save). I don't know if this is just something weird with my install or what, but it totally solved the problem, and now the AFP ghosts are all gone.
Thanks,
Kristin.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
    You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount.

  • How do you remove a non-existant folder from the sidebar?

    I am having trouble removing a file from 'places' in my sidebar. The file doesn't exist any more. I cannot drag it out nor can I highlight it to 'get info' to see if it has somehow become locked. I hope someone can help.

    You don't have to highlight it, simply Right or Control click the offending item and select "Remove from Sidebar."

  • How can I remove a non=working windows partition from my mac?

    Alright so when I got my computer around 3 years ago my mom installed Windows on it. Sadly it didn't work and there was an uninstall so it uninstalled it, but now I have this 10 GB windows partition that's still there but I can't boot up on it and it's wasting 10 GB of my space. HOw can I get rid of it without risking of personal data (on my mac partition)

    Hi Midnight Pharaoh;
    Seeing as how I don't allow anything from Microsloth into my house I am not able to answer your question from personal experience but I believe that Boot Camp can in addition to creating a partition for Winders also delete said partition. If you need more details you might try reposting in the Boot Camp forum instead of the Snow Leopard forum.

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

    Try deauthorizing the computer even if you haven't authorized it. If you've already authorized it, deauthorize it twice and then authorize it again.

  • How can I remove the repetitive multiple daily updates from Mozilla

    Hello
    How can I remove the repetitive multiple daily updates from Mozilla?
    Within a day, each day I get prompts as: Mozilla Firefox Update is ready to install at your computer.........then I do install and update it.......then after few minutes again it asks to update the same edition.........again after logging in back few hours later it prompts me again with the same request........IT IS VERY ANNOYING!
    Thank You,
    Gene

    ''the-edmeister [[#answer-683804|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    You could allow the update to proceed - that will stop Mozilla from asking if you want to update every time you launch Firefox, as is supposed to happen.
    Any particular reason that you don't want Firefox 35.0.1 to be installed?
    </blockquote>
    Hi The EDmeister,
    Thank you for your response.
    Nevertheless, I have to repeat that I have ALREADY INSTALLED the Firefox 35.0.1 in my computer and ALLOWED IT TO PROCEED.
    The same edition is prompting me back again, and again and again, within a day, each day. I get that annoying message at the top-right hand.
    I do not want to see it every time, multiple times a day, that is the issue here, unresolved!
    Best regards,
    Gene

  • How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    I am making a book in Aperture 3.  I want to change some of the pages that I have put together, and want to remove some of the photos from some of the pages, to put them on another page.  How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    As a follow-up, I have found that clicking on the photo in the book also highlights the photo on the strip below.  So, if you then hit delete, you will delete the photo from both the book page and the album (which is the book, the way I have it set up).  If you only want to delete it from the book page, you then have to un-click the photo on the strip below, or both will be deleted.  This seems unwieldy.  I deleted 6 photos from a page and found all of them gone from the album.  The only way that I can see to keep them in the album is to then unselect them from the bottom strip after selecting them fro the page.  This seems to call for an extra step.

  • How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from computer? I get a message that iTunes.msi file can not be found, so I can't remove it. Help

    How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from Windows XP?
    I get a message that iTunes.msi can not be found or is corrupted.
    I want to install latest version, but can't get remove older version.

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.
