How to delete  about 5GB of "Other" unneeded files?

I upgraded to iOS5 and suddenly had 9.1GB of "Other" files. Before "other" had been about 3GB. How can I delete unneed files?

The return value was false.
Sorry guys filesL.delete() was a typo error; I did a filesL.delete() .
So what do you think is the problem. Initially I thought that the lack of file permission to delete was the problem. But since no security exception is thrown, I thought the problem could be something different. Could it be that I am not the owner of the files ? I tried it after taking ownership of the files, but the problem persists.
Is there any other reason why delete would not work ?

  • How to delete string or line from unix file(dataset) of application server

    Hi  All,
    After transfer workarea information or all records into dataset(unix file). When I see the file in application server automatically the last line is shown a blank line. I am not passing any blank line.
    I have tried for single record than also the file generates the last line(2nd line) also a blank line.
    When I m reading the dataset, it is not reading the last blank line but why it is showing the last blank line?

    Hi Rio,
    I faced similar kind of issue working with files on UNIX platform.
    The line is a line feed to remove it use
    DATA : lv_carr_linefd TYPE abap_cr_lf VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf. 
      DATA : lv_carr_return TYPE char1,                                   
             lv_line_feed   TYPE char1.                                          
      lv_line_feed   = lv_carr_linefd(1).
      lv_carr_return = lv_carr_linefd+1(1).
    Note: IMP: The character in ' ' is not space but is a special
    character set by pressing ALT and +255 simultaneosly
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_line_feed IN l_string WITH ' '.
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_carr_return IN l_string WITH ' '.

  • How to delete the memory in "other"?

    how do i delete the memory in "other" in my iphone4 . i accidentally restored the data in other as well prior.So restore didnt work.please help. i have come across many questions relating and referred communtities . but no satisfactory answers ..

    You cannot delete it all.  It is normal to have a gb or so in other.
    Much more than this indicates corrupt files.  A restore is how you get rid of it.  If restore from backup does notwork, then restore as new.

  • How to Delete imported JPEGS after matching RAW files are imported as masters

    Using a 5D Mark III and shoot JPEG (SD) and RAW (CF).
    Aperture 3.5.1, using a managed library
    Perviously, using a 7D so new to shooting JPEG and RAWs from an aperture Aperture workflow standpoint.
    I know that i can import the JPEGs > delete images that do not make the cut > then import the matching RAW files in the import dialogue that correspond to the JPEGs in the Aperture Library.
    I use the RAW files as my Camera Master images and once the RAW files are imported, the smaller resolution JPEGs are no longer needed or viewed in my normal edit workflow.  I only need the JPEGs to quickly go through the images to find out which RAW files i need to import at a later time to increase the speed of import > edit > deliver.
    My Assumptions:
    1.  Logic would lead me to believe that after import the user should see a stack like image representation with whatever file type is considered Master to be on top and the viewable secondary file type on the bottom.  clicking on the image stack should allow you to see both file types as you would normally see with image stacks with the same files types.  This is not the case...  What am i missing here?
    2.  Logic again would lead me to believe that when i have the ability to delete one of the 2 image types as i do not need both in the end.  After the import process is complete and RAWs are backed up, I want to delete the JPEG files as they are just taking up more space on my DAS drive array...  There is no need to keep a duplicate of every file in both JPEG and RAW format.  This is not the case as when i delete the JPEG or RAW, both files formats are deleted simultaneously.  What am i missing here?
    Problems: (correspond to Assumptions above)
    1.  I do not seem to have access to both images (JPEG & RAW) in a stack where i can expand and close the stack to see both?  It seems like i only have access to the image type i have selected as Master?  This seems counter intuitive to what the workflow should be as why would aperture 'lock the secondary file types away' so you can't easily view both file types as the same time for comparison?
    2a.  Reality seems to be that i do not have access to the JPEG and RAW image files.  I can only see one at a time by selecting the images and choosing 'make JPEG master’ and then respectively... 'make RAW master', but you can't see both at the same time for file comparison.
    2b.  Also, I can't find a way to delete the JPEG images after the RAW files have been imported.  I would presume most professional photographers shoot RAW and do not shoot JPEG as their camera master or editing master images.  I do not understand why aperture has captured both as a pair in the library that does not allow me to delete the JPEG (in this case) as i have selected the RAW as my master.
    If someone can please help...  The function seems like either i am missing something obvious or that the implemented function of using RAW + JPEGs files for import is broken from a real world workflow standpoint.

    leonie...
    thank you for clearing that up for me.
    I think that at this point it is silly to use the JPEG+RAW import functionality as it seems that it takes longer to do the above steps than to just import only the RAW files and press on from there.
    I seems what i have done in the past of only importing the RAW files and then using the quick preview functionality to reduce image load times is the best thing in can come up with without keeping 'duplicates' in the database.
    That really baffels me that there is no built in functionality to remove the JPEG from a RAW+JPEG pair and i wonder how the real world photographers who help Apple test and implement software to solve real world workflow problems thought the JPEG+RAW import was going to be used.
    I do understand that i can use a smaller JPEG file size to reduce the bloat of the database, but used over hundreds of thousands of images is certainly going to make a dent in my total aperture database size and therefore storage needs down the road.
    If you have any other workflow thoughts, or know of a 3rd party plugin/ etc... to fix this obvious shortcoming then i am all ears..
    thank you again Leonie and have a great week

  • How to delete a role from other role.....

    Doug,
    You gave me an idea. What if you create a new folder on the desktop. Select the roll above #20, which you said will also select #20, and move that roll to the desktop folder? Will roll #20 move with the one above it? If so, then you could go back to iPhoto, drag them both to the trash, delete trash (will it delete with the roll above it?), Import to Library the pictures where you put them on the desktop.
    Caution, you would probably lose some of the info from the roll you delete and re-import, like their dates, etc. So I wonder... can you select, say, half the photos in that roll and Create New Roll? Will the remaining roll still be linked to #20? If so, can you do it again and again until the linked roll only contains 1 picture? Then move it to desktop, trash in iPhoto, and re-import?
    What happens if you play with it like that?

  • How to delete users (what happens to their files)?

    I manage a number of macs in our lab. People come and go, and now it's time to delete some old accounts. If I just delete an account in the "accounts" section of system preferences, do their home directories and files therein get automatically deleted or do I need to go in and do it by hand (or else have a bunch of owner-less files taking up my disk space)? What's the best way to delete an account and everything owned by that user?

    BufferedReader should probably wrap the FileReader if you will be reading line-by-line. Same with the Writer.
    And a simple -
    if (  "/*".equals(record.substring(0,1) ) ... should handle the comment locations bit.
