How to delete XP from a data disk ?

My original XP disk on a single disk machine became corrupted, and would no longer boot. But once installed in an external USB enclosure as a second disk for a newer PC with Windows 7, the data and programs are still accessible. What I would like to do is delete all the bits & pieces of XP, thus freeing up some disk space. I have had no luck at all finding a source that lists the files & folders for the original XP installation, so I can delete them. Any suggestions ?

How to delete files from start up disk

Please help. After my macbook air is on for 2-5 mins, it comes up with I need to delete files from my start up disk. I went into start up disk and the only thing in there is the OS X system. So, then a small box appears. and tells me my memory is full and that I need to force quit applications. Sometimes the only application that is on it is finder. At this point the macbook air then freezes and I have to turn it off holding the button down. When I go to turn it back on it will often not turn back on. This laptop is only 11months old and running the new OS X system (mountain Lion) that just came out.

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.

How to delete all previous icloud data from current icloud after sighning in with the current icloud account

so i sighned into someone elses device with the current icloud account and i sighned out. Some of the icloud data from the other device is now on mine. All i want to know is how to delete all the icloud data in my current icloud account from the other icloud account

Hello ,
I had the same problem and i have done everything manually.
It's a shame that Apple doesn't put a "Reset to factory Settings" button or simply "Delete all data from iCloud.com". That way, it would be much simpler for everyone including myself.
Winston Churchill is right unfortunately . Happy deleting !
Kind Regards,
Moonburn

How to delete elements from a cluster?

Hello. I would like to know how to delete elements from a cluster. I got stuck with this problem. There is its own order of each element in a cluster. I tried to initiate an array but it seems like too complicated. In the attached file, I want to obtain only the data from "flow" not "pressure". I try to use array programming but it doesn't work. Would be nice if you help me to fix the file. Thanks
Solved!

What about if I want to store data into the pressure array too? Do I have to create another loop or it can be done in the same loop as the flow loop?
Try this, for example. Modify as needed.

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

How to delete applications from mac pro?

I think many people struggling at "How to delete appalications from Mac pro ,just because you made some mistakes or curious !" I know it is a bit difficut for people who are new users for the Mac .
If you really don't want them ,you can delete them easily,
As all you know after you download appalications from anywhere ,it could be from apple app store or from other websites. They all can be disspeared if you don't like them .
First , If you installed from apple app store it will be really easily just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No don't delete me I am helpful !) Ok yes that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .
Second step. This is only for you downoaded from other websites , In that case , you just skip first step come to here in order to save you some golden time .
You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash . But after them all jump back to where they are , So you need to open the Finder ---> click the download -----> find the file which is belong to the app (make sure ) ------->click it -----> drug it into the trash. then you can hear a little sound like you through it into the bin. it is really humanny isn't it ? then go back to the finder again .---->click the application -------> find the icon on there which is you just drag into the trash. do it again . take this one into the trash as well then you will find the icon on the launchpad is disppeared . at the end don't forget to empty your trash After that all job done , it is been deleted ,
Well done !
