How to delete invisible file created by iPhoto

I use MacBook and keep my iPhoto library on external hard drive. External disk got disconnected accidentally and I was requested to import the library again.
I imported library from my external drive but the file created by iPhoto is not visible and I cannot find it either in folder Pictures or using Spotlight. However, I can see that available space on my MacBook hard drive is reduced for 10GB, which is actually the size of my iPhoto library.
Any suggestion how to find invisible file created by iPhoto and delete it from the hard disk on my computer? Many thanks for your help.

Do a Spotlight search for "Library6.iPhoto" on your boot drive and that will tell you where the iPhoto LIbrary is hiding.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How To Delete .mov file Created In Quick Time

    How do I delete an audio file created in Quick Time Player and saved in my Movies folder as a .mov file? I can't drag it to Trash, and I can't access the delete option in the Edit dropdown, and Help doesn't seem to cover that topic. It just puts the floating blue marker beside Select All, which seems to do nothing much.
    Many thanks.

    Right click (Control click) and choose Move to Trash.

    I recently ran the DISK UTILITY to erase free space. During the "CREATING TEMPORARY FILE" phase the process was interrupted. I had 250GB of free space now I have none.

  • How to delete pdf files created on server using cfdocument pdf?

    I am using <cfdocument format="pdf" ...
    to create a dynamically named and generated .pdf and it works rather well.  Navy managers can easily email the pdf to ships in the fleet and planning forces in the shipyards. (Planning data changes almost daily). However I have noticed that the pdf file stays on the server.  Over time this could become a problem with numbers.  Is there something I am missing to remove these pdfs over time.  Other than a manual review and delete.  This government server requires 4 logins and your right arm to update, so something auto is needed.

    Thanks for responding:
    I am not using cfmail - I am leaving it up to the user to print save or email.
    Your second option sound good but I really was hoping I was just missing something easy (new to cf).
    I did try giving the pdf the same name but I was having lots of troble with always returning the cached version.

    If you know the name of the file/folder you can use the free Easy Find

    You can also use the free TinkerTool to turn on all invisible files, then do what you have to do, then turn invisible files off.

    nQS_7676_24_20578926.TMP
    Can someone please help us how to delete these files.
    1. Will running purge_cache.sh scripts clears these files?
    2. Can we delete these files manually?

    Thanks in advance.

    If the cache path is to this folder then go with purging or else stop bi service and delete

    I saw your solution. Thanks for that. But I just want to know, do we have any setups in XML Publisher Administrator or bursting control file to delete the files automatically once the concurrent request is completed.
    And one more thing I found is, In the xml administrator, General properties i have specified the temporary directory as '/tmp'. But all the temporary files are loading in '$XDO_TOP/temp' directory. Why is this..

  • How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )

    How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )
    Who can teach me? Thanks a lot.

    The edited photo album is where the recipes for the edits you made are stored. The Edited folder is created and removed automatically by iPhoto for iOS. It will disappear when there are no edited photos.
    If you want to remove the edited photos go to each photo and select revert to Original. That will delete the edited version. Once all edited photos have been Reversted to their original version, the Edited Photos album will disappear.
    Of course the next time you edit a photo the album will return.
    Note that the Edited Photos album only shows in iPhoto for iOS. It does not appear in the Photos app.

  • Question:  why isn't how to delete a file available.

    How come you have to search for the information on how to delete a file from Adobe Reader.   This should be in the instructions on how to use with how to download.  Does anyone agree?

    If it is a system file and even if the file is corrupted, it cannot be deleted.
    Try reinstalling phone software using Nokia suite if the phone supports Nokia suite and an USB port.

  • How to delete the file with space in name

    Hi
    I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
    i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
    /bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
    I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
    String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
         Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    process = rt.exec(cmd);
    The file was not deleted.
    How to delete the file with space in name?
    Help me

    Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
    arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
    arr[1] = "-f"
    arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

  • How to delete recent file history in adobe reader in Mac PC ?

    How to delete recent file history in Adobe Reader in Mac PC ?
    In Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - select Documents in the left panel and change the "Documents in recently used list" to 0. Yes ! the file history is gone But when you set back the value, you will see the file history again. This is not the way to do...
    I have checked all the preference or setting. I couldn't found any clear recent file history in adobe reader.
    Please help ! Thanks !

    First off, you CANNOT set recent documents to zero. The absolute minimum it will accept is 1. And on my MacMini, (I just checked it to be 100% sure) I opened seven documents with Recent Docs set to 10 - they were ALL listed. I set it to 1 and all but the most recent cleared. I then closed Reader and reopened it. The list was 1 item. I reset Recent Docs to 10 and there was still only 1 item in the list.

  • In adf,how to delete a file generated on server,when the webpage is closed

    Hi,
    I have an application consisting of 2 pages. in the 1st page i will give some input details and when i click on submit, some java code is getting executed in the back. That java code generates a csv file in the server location. after succesful execution of java code, i was redirected to 2nd page. In 2nd page, i am giving option to download and when the user clicked on download button and after the file is downloaded -- in the backend i am deleting the file from the server. Till this point everything is fine. But if the user didnt click on the Download button and instead if he closes the browser, the csv file gets remained on the server itself. This is the issue i am facing .. I am not able to get an idea in ADF Framework, how to delete a file when the browser is closed. Please help me out in this.
    Thanks in advance !!!

    ADF has nothing to do with tracking browser close buttons. What you can do is call a JS function and call the method which deletes the file from within the JS function. ADF has a component for calling java code from JS call.

    One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.
