How to get rid of #name# file?
When I was trying to compile a source file, I got a file marked with # symbol. It appears in terminal like this: #hello.cpp#
How does this mean? How do I get rid of it?
Thanks
I do not know what it is. But if you really want to delete it, then close the name in quotes so it does not look like a comment:
rm '#hello.cpp#'

How to get rid of ios6 file downloaded to my iphone?
My iphone4 downloaded ios6 two days ago, as far as I know without my intervention (I may have accidentally given order for that...). I've noticed an icon badge with '1' on settings and with surprise I found ios6 had been downloaded and was ready to install!!! I don't want in any way to install by now, but the problem is the huge space occupied by the file - more than 2 GB. So I'd like to know how to get rid of the file. I didn't find anything about...
Same question ! 2 GB of space is waisted 4 the moment ...

I have a file that's locked that I kept in a folder titled junk because five years ago I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it. Just installed a new HD and tried to trash the folder and file. It's not working and now it's in two places because when I moved it it asked for name and password, then copied it into the trash and left it on the desktop. I know there must be a way to get rid of it. Secure Trash in Onyx didn't work. the file is nununu HFS+private data?
Any suggestions?*Trash Problems*
If trash can't delete because an item is busy, try restarting the computer.
If trash won't delete because an item is locked, try holding down the option key when emptying the trash.
Try booting to Safe Mode (hold down the shift key while booting, restart may take a long time but let it go), sometimes just doing that works. Restart normally.

I don't know if this is the appropriate forum to ask this question....if it is not please guide me to the correct support forum. I am just trying to find out if there is an easier way of getting rid of duplicate files in my Windows Media Player 11.
Also how do I prevent my Media player from obtaining all these duplicate files from other libraries. I have iTunes installed and my home network has four other computers belonging in the home group that have all their own respective music libraries.
I guess I was naïve but I thought that when Windows Media Player is out searching other libraries it would know not to take duplicates of songs that it has already. Enough said .....if anyone out there can help me that would be great. I have in
the past spent many hours manually deleting songs from my music files and it really got old.Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the TechNet Site Feedback forum, because it is not Feedback about the TechNet Website or Subscription.

How to get rid of large files generated by Final Cut X ?
My hard drives are getting increasingly full and I think its Final Cut render files or something similar.
How do I get rid of the files Final Cut creates for old projects without hurting those projects (in case I want to resurrect them) ?
Are the rider files stored within the huge library file, or in a certain location?
I have my settings as "in library" for Media and Cache.
(If I cmd-click (or right click) the library, show contents it does show a folder with a date, in my case 2-24-15, then a subfolder called Render Files. Can I just trash all of these within the library?)Select library and go to "File->Delete Library Generated Files" (or similarly select just an event or project, the wording of the menu will change accordingly).
You can then elect to delete render files (all or just the unused ones), proxy media and optimized media.
None of this will prevent you from working on your projects. Probably you don't need them anyway, and if you do you can always regenerate them later.
(It seems that many people check to create proxy and optimized media on import - this is usually unnecessary and especially optimized media can take a LOT of disk space, often ten times as much as the original) -
How to get rid of Windows files under Parallels
After loading and running Windows XP via Parallels, I've decided the virus risk is not worth it for me. My question is how do I get rid of all the Windows files? I've uninstalled Parallels using the Parallels uninstall function on the Parallels disk. Is that it or are there Windows XP files somewhere on my hard drive?
ThanksHi Jason!
I believe that should be all you need to do but a better place to ask would be the Parallels forums. Have a look here <http://forums.parallels.com/>.

How to get rid of "._" files when trans to cell phone?
I use a microSD to play mp3s on my LG chocolate (I know... i'll get an iPhone one day!).
The only problem is, if I drag-and-drop 30 songs to the card, when I use it on the phone, I now have 60 items, with 30 of them being duplicate titles with "._"
in front of the title and no way to delete them. These files do not play, of course. I am thinking they are not really "there."
I tried loading TinkerTool and showing invisible files on the card,but there was only 1, a DS store(?)file that I deleted. Didn't help. Is there any way to take care of those pesky pseudo-duplicates?Charles Williams8 wrote:

Hi Charles,
Do you have an external card reader that accepts microSD media? It might be possible to delete the files this way. They are dirt cheap nowadays - SanDisk makes a 12-in-1 card reader for about $30.
Just curious - the Chocolate doesn't offer a "Delete" function in its media reader? (I have Verizon myself as well, but that phone never interested me...)
The "._" files are the resource forks that OS X uses to store additional data, as in a custom icon, for example.
It's part of how OS X manages files - files have data forks (the actual file) and resource forks (additional data). Assuming that the file has an applicable Windows application to read the file, PCs (in your case, the Chocolate) read the data fork just fine.
(for example, a Word .doc file created on a Mac will typically open fine on a PC)
However, Windows currently has no way to translate a resource fork, and thus will report it as a dummy "._filename" with no application to open it.

How to get rid of "._" files ?
We are using Mac OS X 10.5 computers for the most part.
When we transfer files to other volumes such as FAT removable devices or SMB shares we get "._" files.
These files keep the resource fork for Mac users but are sometimes annoying for other users.
I read that the following command could disable the creation of these files :
export COPYEXTENDED_ATTRIBUTESDISABLE=true
I tried it on a 10.5.7 MacBook but I don't see any change. When I copy files I still get for each file a "._" related file.
Any ideas ?They best way I have found so far is to use a file copy program that bypasses the finder. I already owned synchronize plus, which worked. I did bit of digging and you can write a quick Automator workflow to copy files from one place to another and it seems like the ._ files are left behind because the files now work in my digital picture frame. The script I use is:
1. Ask for finder items
2. Copy finder items
If you have not used Automator before, it is not too bad to work with. Simply start it up and you will be asked what kind of task you want. I chose the "files and folders" and then where it displays the content pull-downs I chose my mac and the "As for files and folders when my workflow runs." This will enter your first component. Check the box that says "Allow multiple selections". Now click ACTIONS at the top and go to Files and Folders and choose "Copy Finder Items". Drag this under the "Ask for Finder Items." Choose Options and select the "Show this action" which should allow you to choose the destination when run. Save the script as an application, double click to run the application.
I hope this is what you were trying to get done. I was trying to get photos on to a card and make it simple enough for my parents to do this. Those darn ._ files caused the photoframe to crash, so I needed to do something.
From the file menu choose save as, and select application. Give it a useful name. -
How to get rid of .dtd file in XML file?
If there is "<!DOCTYPE xxx SYSTEM "xxx.dtd">" in a XML file and there is no xxx.dtd file, there will be wrong while parsing in Java using JAXP, and the function: setValidating(false) is no use. I can't modify original XML file containing "<!DOCTYPE xxx SYSTEM "xxx.dtd">" and Maybe I have not that xxx.dtd file.
Please tell me how to solve it if you know, thanks a million.You're stuck. You've either got to find that .dtd file, or remove the line from the XML. Your only other option is to reimplement the DTD file so that the XML can use it, or you can just redo everything

How to get rid of unused files from robohelp 7
How do I delete should I do about the unsued files?
Robohelp 'help' on the unused file report help' is an outrageously bad joke:
Unused files report
You cannot remove these files from within your project. Use Windows Explorer to delete the files.
Note: Avoid using Windows Explorer or your version-control application to remove files.
PeterThe files are not shown in project manager because they are not part of the project. They are still within the project's folders though.
If you are not using version control, then you do just delete them using Windows Explorer.
I believe the incorrect information has been corrected in later versions of RH.

I have been trying to get rid of a file for a couple of weeks now. It's a very strange looking file that starts out with a bunch of symbols that I thought at first looked like Japanese but when I looked closer it seems like some sort of hieroglyphics or something. The file is dated December 1903. I've tried renaming it and I get error. I've tried dragging it out of the trash only to have it disappear and reappear later. I've tried many of the force empty trash techniques like holding down option and doing it. I even looked up some terminal commands. No luck. I've tried to use some of the disk utility programs available as well as the native Mac utilities but they don't work either. Can anyone offer me some help as to how to get rid of this file? It seems to be causing some problems when opening folders that are in my dock now and I'm starting to worry other things will start happening too. Thanks so much.

Can you drag the file out of the trash?
If so, create a new folder on your desktop and name it junk, and put the strange file in the new folder.
Now, in a terminal, enter
cd Desktop
ls
and you should see the folder you just created named junk
now enter the command
cd junk
if you now do
ls
you will see the strange file.
enter the following command
sudo rm *
and enter password when prompted.
This should remove the file.
If not, post back.
please don't do anything suggested in this post. none of this has any chance of helping and will potentially hurt as the offending file will be copied from the external drive to your desktop and might become undeletable there too.
nerowolfe, please read the thread. the file in question in Trash on an external drive. it can't be deleted because of strange symbols in its name. the unix rm has been tried already and didn't work because of those characters.

How to get rid of file name that pops up with mouseover?
When a user is on my website and mouses over a link to another page, the name of that page comes up - for example, if I mouse over the link to the Mums Night Out page (while on the home page) the file name pops up (mumsnightout.html)
Any idea on how to get rid of that annoying issue?
Thanks,
roxpatIs this question now solved?
Excuse me if it is, but I am really freaking out about this and don't know what to do.
I don't want to launch my website before everything is perfect and I really want the yellow-pop-up-box-bstrd to go away.
I am using this code which works fine in ff and safari but not in ie:
<script type='text/javascript'>
function clearTooltip() {
_links = parent.document.links;
for (i=0; i<_links.length; i++) {
_links.setAttribute('title', '');
chkFooter = setInterval('checkFooter()', 100);
function checkFooter() {
if (parent.document.getElementById('footer_layer') != null) {
clearTooltip();
clearInterval(chkFooter);
</script>
Should I modify it in some way? Any ideas? -

i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?
Hello rmunsey,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Next, you can search for duplicates:
Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library

This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have a 3rd generation ipod that a friend gave me. I cannot find anything on how to get rid of his name and music on it. This is what the owners manual says:
"Select ipod nano in the soiurce list and click the summary tab" I cannot find the source or the summary tab on itunes. Can any one help me? I would like to delete everything on it and start over but I am afraid I cannot add anything back on it. I know this is detailed and a lot, but I really need help.Restore

How to restore your iPod:For Windows:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
