How do you remove the very badly-placed 'delete message' icon from the Message List pane in Outlook 2013?

One of the worst bits of Usability Design I've come across in a very long time is the 'x' delete message icon in Outlook 2013, which deletes an email message with one click (no confirmation).
It's placed conveniently next to the right-hand scrollbar, and on Numerous occasions when using the scrollbar, you drift a few mm to the left and *accidentally* delete email messages at random. I'm pretty sure many people will have
unwittingly been doing this, but not noticed.
Question is : How do you switch off this feature? It's not listed in the 'view' as a column you can configure.
Thanks (in advance).

Hi,
As far as I know, the delete button is hard-coded and we cannot hide it through built-in function.
I have received some reports that some users complain that the Quick Delete button is often touched and delete the message mistaken whatever in PC or Surface device.
There is no official update for this so far. Hope it can be improved in next service pack release.
Regards.

How do I delete duplicate icons from the dock of an Imac 8.1?

How do I delete duplicate icons from the dock of an Imac 8.1?

No dragging to trash doesn't work. Just keep dragging them off. If they are stacked, which shouldn't happen, then when you delete one the other is still there.
Just how did you get duplicates? Did you put them there? If not then you have other problems and I'm not sure how to correct it.

I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

How can I delete Duplicated icon from the dashboar

Please can someone help me : How do I delete duplicated icon from dashboard, like the Safari Icon and System Preference, and remain witht only one of each, that keeps working? Thank you

Well, Aleksdev and Paul_31, you helped me a lot, , thank you so much.
Let me tell what worked.
I went to the dock and deleted the good Safari and System icons, then I draged the ones on the dashboard to the trash.
Then I restarted, and they were no more either on the dock nor on dashboard.
To put the safari icon back to the dock, I had to go Applications and drag the Safari Icon back to the dock. It worked, but with the icon for System Preferences, it did nit work this way.
But never mind the important is that Safari icon stays always at the dock .
So, one more time, guys thank you so much for the help.
Maybe I'll be asking some more questions in the future, if you don't mind. I'm not an I-MAC specialist. I'm new on Apple world.
Best regards!

I would like to delete an icon from the status menu bar, and then delete the remnants of an already deleted programme. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

I have attempted to delate Comodo AV, from my iMac. I have achieved this to a degree, as when i search for "Comodo" on finder, nothing appears. However the icon still appears in the status menu bar at the top right of my screen. Comodo worked fine, until the upgrade to Mavericks. I contacted Comodo and they said there should be no problem with Comodo AV working in Mavericks. Clearley this wasn't the case. I deleted as much of the software as i could, but have been left with hidden traces of Comodo's presence.
I there fore have two questions,
How can i take the icon out of the status menu bar? I have tried app removers without any luck as according to finder there isnt any comoso on the mac. I have also tried to use the "cmd and drag" technique, but again nothing happens.
How can i find the residue of Comodo on my hard drive if it is not showing up on any search?
I would really like to resolve these issues and any support would be greatly received.
thanks
Tim

Many thanks, Phil. I purchased the app you recomended, and following a bit of messing about, achieved both of my desired outcomes.
For your information yes there was a quit option, but this only worked as long as i was logged in. Whenever i logged out and back in again it returned.
thanks again,
Tim

How do you re-locate an I-movie project that disappears from the project / edit library in i-movie11?

As a school teacher, I viewed the student's movie project in edit mode and I known it was there. The student was attempting to burn the project to a disc to back it up and it disappeared. The raw video clips are still sitting there but the edited project is no longer visible. I've searched the computer but can't find it anywhere. I think the student renamed the project as they were preparing yo back it up. Any advice on how to locate the project would be appreciated.

iMovie will only see projects that are in the Home/Movies/iMovie Projects folder (or in the iMovie Projects folder at the top level of an external drive).
Your student may have moved the project somewhere else. If so, the solution is to move it back, and then restart iMovie.
The project will have a file extension of .rcproject.
If you do not know where he might have moved the project, try doing a Spotlight Search on rcproject, and they should all come up. (Spotlight is in the top right corner of your screen).

How do you take a imovie that got deleted and is in the trash back into imovie

Please help

First, click on the Trash Can at the bottom right of your dock to open the Finder window for the trash. If you have a project (.rcproject) in there, drag it to the Movies/iMovie Projects folder. If you have an Events folder in there, drag it to the Movies/iMovie Events folder. Then restart iMovie.

How do we delete an icon from the front of the pod touch

I have icons filled on my iPOD touch and want to delete a couple of them How do I do this

You do realize that you have multiple screens on which to place apps (along with their icons) don't you? To do so, touch & hold an icon until they all start to wiggle. You can then touch and drag the icon/app that you want to move to the right edge of the screen. The screen will slide to a new empty screen which you can now release/drop the icon onto. To simply delete the icon/app, touch & hold the icons until they wiggle, then click the x on the desired icon/app to delete it. To return the touch to standard operation, press the home button.

When i changed the names of my books in iTunes, it did not changed in the iPad after i had synced it again with the changes. can anyone help? i had added authors to the author column and deleted their names from the book titles.

i had added books to iBooks on iTunes and synced with my iPad mini. Then I realised that the titles sometimes had the author name, or a random number before it. I made changes to all the books in my iTunes library, edited the titles, added authors to the author columns, year in year column etc and synced my iPad again. but my iPad did not update these changes at all is still in the old way. can this be rectified?

Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Not in Yosemite. Apple removed this feature for some reason.

Depending on the version of osx you are using - you can drag it to the trash, you can go to launch pad and delete. There is also appcleaner as stated above which works well
I am a week old newbie to ML. Haven't fully explored Launch Pad yet. Thanks for the heads up!
One thing about Hazel that I love is that it runs in the background. Any file that I trash a window pops up showing all the straggler files w/select options for each straggler file to keep or trash.
Before I got Hazel, I noticed when I deleted an app after using it, the preference (plist) files have not been deleted when I manually checked. This also includes the apps that install through "packages."

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.

Q:-
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.

How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

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.
