How to delete locked files on flash memory stick

Several files on my memory stick have somehow become locked and cannot be deleted. When I unlock them in their Info window and then close the window, they revert to locked status. How can I delete these files?
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

When I unlock them in their Info window and then close the window, they revert to locked status.
This suggests that the items have the schg flag set; it is possible to turn the flag off, but if there's little or nothing else you want on the drive, you're better off by copying the remaining items if any to your hard disk and then reformatting the flash drive in the Disk Utility, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. If you still want to clear the flag, follow the instructions for your version of Mac OS X on this page.

How to delete other files in phone memory

i had a problem that other files in my phone are rapidly increasing in size they have increased from 60 mb to 103 mb in two days and now my phone take so many time to process any application that i open.
Please help me i want to set memory card as default memory for all application as i had saved maps, messages in memory card.
I think that internet browsing has eaten my phone memory, i had also deleted all my privacy data from internet but nothing helped me.
Please help me guys how do i delete or move these other files.

It is very strange that you lost ~43 MB of phone memory in two days! If you think the web browser cache is still to blame, you can try deleting it manually using a third-party file browser like Y-Browser (http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html , then scroll to the bottom) or X-Plore (http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=download). Delete the entire contents of C:\System\Cache , but not the Cache folder itself. Reboot and see if that makes a difference.
If that doesn't fix the problem, some people have blamed Bluetooth file transfers on lost phone memory. Maybe you have done this lately? Otherwise see this thread for advice: /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E72-RM-530-Phone-memory-full-for-no-apparent-reason-any-solution/m-p/1... . (Beware that I rambled too much. ) Your best friend may be NetQin's Mobile Guard program. Its File Manager feature includes an "Analyse Storage" option that will look for the largest files on any drive. Post a followup if you need more advice.

How to delete locked files on pen drive

I have a pen drive which has 2 partitions and there is no problem with one partition. Other partition shows itself as "CDROM" and none of the files in that partition could be deleted. There is no option to format the entire pen drive also. Even if I format it, the "CDROM' partition still remains.

Hi Scott,
2 ways to go...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
   3. Click the Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
Or...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

How to delete locked files on Preview app?

when i right click on the preview app on my dock, a list of files i have previewed appears. how do i delete the list so there is nothing there?

Hi Melissa! A step by step instruction:
I suppose you are not sure about Terminal. (Would be easier to explain).
1. Go into the Finder (click the desktop).
2. Click on top on the "Go" Menu and click the ALT key. Go into Library
3. Then from Library to Preferences
4. Search in this Folder for "Preview". If there are too many files, you have searched "This Mac". So click on the "Preferences" on top of the window frame, too search this folder only.
5. Remove the items:
a) com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
b) com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
c) com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList
d) com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
6. Restart your computer

How do I move files from a memory card?

I'm sure there's a simple answer...
How do I move files from a memory card?

That's working as intended. To delete it from the original location when done, press the Command key while dragging.

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.
