How to delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them

How do you delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them. I don't want to open suspect mail that might cause a problem.

I think you can just drag it to the trash folder. Otherwise you have to select it and press delete. If you have the preview window going, just selecting it will open it. So you have to have the preview window closed.
P.S.
I don't think you can get into any trouble just opening a message in Apple Mail.

How to delete mail files in iCoud

Need to learn how to delete/remove and/or backup my email files from iCloud.

To delete: in either your Mail application or on the icloud website, select a message or messages and hit the delete (backspace) key.
To transfer messages to your Mac, create a new folder (mailbox) in the Mail application, making sure that it is listed under 'On My Mac'. Open the iCloud mailbox, and drag a message or messages to the new folder. Don't try to do a large number at once. Doing this will remove the messages from the server: holding the option key down while you drag will copy the messages to the new folder but retain them on the server.

Can you pinpoint what 'diagnostic and usage data' you are referring to? More details would be helpful including the model MBP you are using and the OSX.
Ciao.

How to delete Analysis and Analysis Project in SDA ?

Hii
Please tell me how to delete Analysis and Analysis project in SDA .??

Hi Rahul,
in most cases the Identifying Check Item might be used.
The rating of each Check Item will be determined by the assigned Check Steps. The rating of an Informative Check Item does not contribute to the rating of the Analysis Structure (e.g. a business process step etc.), while the rating of an Identifying Check Item does.
The purpose of such behaviour can be explained with the usage in different Analyses.
In the Analysis Project one will assign Check Steps to an Informative Check Item in cases where you want to get processed additional Check Steps, that might be not yet validated in that combination and/or that might cause higher Analysis runtimes.
During the creation of an Analysis one can control to include these Informative Check Items for the current Analysis. With the results of the Informative Check Items one might refine the Analysis Project, which will be used for the next Analysis created.
The data for workload Check Steps are coming from the workload statistics in the managed system and the values displayed are dialog steps performed in the period(month) selected.
I hope that the information given is helpful somehow.
Best regards,
Andreas

Our daughter figured out on her own how to delete songs and apps from her IPAD2. Her parents would like to know how to delete such files and then how to prevent our daughter from doing it.

Our daughter figured out on her own how to delete songs and apps from her IPAD2. Drives us crazy since we continually have to reload these files. Her parents would like to know
1. how she did it (delete files) and
2. how to prevent her from deleting files in the future.

How to delete documents and data off of iphone 4s

Im trying to free up some room on my phone. I got rid of some apps and movies and did what i can but when i plug my phone in there is more Documents & data then i have as apps and music. i just want to get ride of some documents that are saved in my phone but dont now hot to delete them.

Document & Data on iPhone is junks files including browser history, cookies, logs, caches of photos and videos, database files stored by your apps. You’ll notice that some apps while being very small themselves have accumulated a lot of data. An example of this is shown in the image below, you see that the Facebook app is 109 MB whereas the Documents & Data stored is 1.2 GB. This 1.2 GB is what goes into your “Other” data.
These apps on iPhone don’t provide a way to delete Documents and Data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app is not the best option here. With the help of CleanMyPhone or PhoneClean you can delete the documents and data on iPhone without deleting the app itself.

Can I delete Mail and then reinstall?

Am a new user with an iPad 2 and with Mail did a sync to bring in my Outlook contacts. Somehow it found some old contact folders too and now have a totally cluttered contacts list!
Can I delete Mail and download it and start again?
Thanks

You cannot delete the application, but you can delete the account.
In Settings, just select the account with the messed up contact list and choose to delete all the info from the iPad 2.
Then, find the mistakes and extra contacts in Outlook, take care of them, and re-sync your iPad.

How to delete photos and videos from iphone after transferring them to iCould?

iPhone 4S

After transferring photos and videos from my iphone to icloud, how to delete photos and videos from my iPhone 4S

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
For some reason, the Camera & Scanner Wizard has started to detect the phone now. Maybe it will stop again in the future, but for now it's OK.
I do have iTunes installed, and the iPhone's still not appearing in Windows Explorer. I might reinstall if the problem recurs.
Yep, it's an official Apple cable, but it's a bit old. I got it with my iPod a few years back. Maybe i should start using that as the charger cable, and the new cable i got with my iPhone for syncing?
Thanks again for your replies.

You would have to restore the iPad and set it up as new. The data would eventually come back as you use the iPad so you may as well not worry about it. It uses very little space on the iPad.

How can I delete all photographs in stream of my iPhone 4 without loosing them on my mac?

How can I delete all photographs in stream of my iPhone 4 without loosing them on my mac? Because I have too much photographs
in my phone's memory and I need to know a simple methode to get them off.

Login to iCloud.com, hit the "Reset Photo Stream" button. This will delete all photos stored in iCloud, but not any photos pushed to any devices. Then, on your phone, Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>Off. This will delete all photos in your Photo Stream album, on your phone. This will leave them on your Mac as long as you don't turn Photo Stream off on your Mac. If you first import them to your iPhoto library, you can then turn Photo Stream off on your Mac & they will remain in your iPhoto library.

ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library. Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library. With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder. This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

Hi there, my iMac has automatically been deleting files from my thumb drive when I try to open them. The lost files aren'tin the trash or anywhere else I can think of. Any ideas?

If one drive works and the other doesn't that points the finger at the errant drive. They are cheap, replace it. To check formatting right click it in Finder and choose Get Info and look for Format type. Finally do you eject it when removing it or do you just pull it out of the USB connection?
