How to delete duplicate applications folder I accidentally created.

I accidentally created an alias of my applications folder when I mistakenly dragged the applications alias in a downloaded software folder to my applications folder instead of the software I was supposed to drag to the applications alias. Anyway, I now have an apps folder within the apps folder, which I can't drag to the trash without trashing all the apps. Can someone tell me how to fix this please? Thank you!

  • How can I delete a junk folder I accidentally created in an IMAP email  account

    I need to know if anyone knows how to delete a junk folder. I created the folder by accident in a IMAP email account.  It's empty and I don't need it .  I don't want to delete the account and re- install it. Any ideas?

    I don't have my iPad set to sync that email account. So my folders are not the same as my IPad. I didn't have the junk folder till I accidentally sent a email to the junk folder and the IPad created a junk folder for that email account. Now there isn't a way to remove the folder,even though it is empty.

    Hope you didn't empty the Trash.
    Double click the Trash icon in the Dock.
    In the window that opens up, highlight and right click the application folder entry.
    Select  "Put Back" from the contextual menu.
    If not, restore from your backup.
    Best.

    Simmply either search applications in spotlight (magnification glass in right top hand corner, and click and drag the folder onto your dock, or open up finder and the folder should be on the directory on the left and you click and drag the folder onto your dock.

  • How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library

    How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library in iPhone 3G 16 giga?

    The only way to delete photos from the photo library is by the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.
    Are you saying a photo or all photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are duplicated in your iPhone's Photo Library without being duplicated in the folder on your computer where these photos are stored?

  • HT5043 How to delete duplicate photos

    how to delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    iPhoto has no built-in duplicate detector. You can spot duplicates by sorting your photos by title or date, or use third-party applications like iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, Photo Sweeper.
    Old Toad has published a great list of apps that can screen your iPhoto Library for duplicates, see this link:
    Re: How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?
    My favourite is Photo Sweeper, because it lets me stay in control of what will be deleted, shows all metadata, lets me define the criteria for marking duplicates, and can recognise duplicates of different sizes, based on histograms or pixel maps.  PhotoSweeper

  • HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

  • How to delete HFM Application Tables in SQL

    Hi Gurus
    1.How to delete HFM Application Tables in SQL?
    Manually its deleting but each application having 120-150 tables? how to do this in a single shot?
    I have deleted few applications using workspace/ shared services, but still its showing under HFM server under SQL Tables.
    Please help me
    regards
    Smilee

    Hi Smilee,
    1. If the application can be opened in Financial Management web interface, go to the Manage Taskflows module and make sure that no taskflows still exist for this application. Delete any existing taskflows.
    2. If the application exists in Shared Services, right click on the application in Shared Services and try to delete the application from there
    3. Stop Hyperion Shared Services and all Financial Management Windows processes and take backups of the relational database schemas of both.
    4. Check the relational database repository of Hyperion Shared Services, in the table "ces_apps" and make sure that there are no more rows containing the appname "EXAMPLE". If row still exists you should seek help from Oracle Global Software Support to clean up the Hyperion Shared Services before proceeding.
    5. It is possible to remove all content for a deleted application from the Financial Management relational database. Extreme care should be taken when manually manipulating database tables as permanent damage can be done to the intended application and other applications if the wrong content is deleted.
    a) Begin by deleting all tables, indexes, sequences and package objects that begin with the application name
    b) Delete any tables beginning HSV_appname_xxxxxx
    c) Delete any rows from the HSX_CLUSTER_xxxxx tables referring to the application.
    d) Delete any rows from the HSV_ACTIVITY_KILL_USERS, HSV_ACTIVITY_NO_ACCESS, HSV_ACTIVITY_SESSIONS and HSV_ACTIVITY_USERS and HSV_USERS_ON_SYSTEM that refer to the application name.
    d) Delete the row containing name of the application from the HSX_DATASOURCES table.
    6. The next time all the Hyperion services are started again, the application should be safely removed from Windows client.
    You can contact your DBA to write a query on how to delete it.
    Hope this helps,
    Thank you,
    Charles Babu J

  • Does anyone know how to delete duplicate photographs will it affect photostream

    Does anyone know how to delete duplicate photographs I seem to have so many, is this anything to do with photostream as I have an ipad as well. I have over 7000 photos and find it impossible to find them all. When I first got Apple 9 years ago there was a drop down menu that found all duplicates which you could then delete but that was taken off at some point. I would be really gratful for some help i am not savvy with the technical side of computing.

    For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner or iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner or  iPhoto Library Manager
