How to remove backup files from my system dirve ?

today I wanted to install windows on my MBP and was surprised to see having only 50GB left on my HD. while i was wondering trying to figure out what is eating my disk space I stumbled on this.
there is over 100GB of backups ? Is Time Machine backing up to my main drive when Im away from home ?
Is there a way to recover all that wasted space ? since i allready have my MBP backup to my NAS when I get back home.

spot on colin. thanks

Local Snapshots?

I used this to stop time machine from making local snapshots <sudo tmutil disablelocal> but it didn't delete the the backups just made them to something else. I got this now
Do I need to use some sort of defragmenter tool to fix it ?

How to remove image files from audio files

i dont understand enough about how itunes worked...So my problem is, when i would add album art to a song, i would copy and past to the artwork box on the song. When i would find a better image, i would just past over the last one, not realizing that it was actually adding another image. This form of Copy/past(as i understand) saves the image to the audio file. *My question:* how do i remove the image files from the audio files...?

Right click on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window about halfway down on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library CTRL & Click on each of the songs you want to highlight)

How do you backup files from pc to time capsule?

Is there an easy way to save files from a PC to a Time Capsule?

Copy and paste.
A TC is a network drive.. but it is able to be accessed as any drive in windows explorer..
Open windows explorer and type
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress into the address bar. (replacing obviously with the actual name (it better not have spaces) or IP address of the TC.
You can then access the TC hard disk. Create a directory on the TC or copy one to it.
If you cannot open the TC you haven't set up windows with bonjour for windows.. or setup the TC with SMB names.
Your heading and text are different.. save and backup are different.. backup to TC use a backup software.. eg Genie TIme Line.. Macrium Reflect.. vast majority of paid for backup software. I don't know one that cannot use network drive. Only MSbackup is so stupid.
It has to be able to connect to TC .. home edition vista and win7 MSBackup cannot backup to network drives. .so it is useless.. but it was useless .. buy a proper backup utility. This is almost enough to make you abandon windows.. why should home editions not be able to backup to network drives.. so Bill can make more money selling you pro or ultimate.

How to remove attached files from an interactive Form?

Hi,
is it possible to delete all the attached files from an interactive form?
I'm able to extract all the files and store them separately. But I found no way to store the interactive form without attachments.
There is a method called SET_ATTACHMENTS, but transferring an empty table is not allowed.
What should I do?
Code:
*     Create PDF Object.      lo_pdfobj = lo_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = l_dest ).
*     Set document.      lo_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = iv_filecontent ).
*     Set task to get attachments.      lo_pdfobj->set_task_getattachments( ).
*     Execute, call ADS.      lo_pdfobj->execute( ).
*     Get result.      et_attachments = lo_pdfobj->get_attachments( ).
Regards,
Mario

How to remove data file from System tablespace

Hi All,
I have wrongly added data file in SYSTEM tablespace, now I want remove it. I have tried to set datafile offline but it is giving me the error system tableapce can not set offline. so please help me. I am working Oracle 10g .
thanks in advance
sv

In 10gR2, you can drop a datafile from tablespace, as long it's empty (and of course not the last one):
ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_03 DROP DATAFILE 'tbs_f04.dbf';
Otherwise, there's no direct way to get rid of the file. You can just shrink it and move (i.e. "rename") it another location. For a non-system tablespace, move of all segments to another tablespace (and later renaming it) would be an option, but this of course won't work with system tablespace.

How to remove "other" files from iphone memory

Concerning how the memory is used on the Iphones under the "other" category, I have found that the biggest culprit is text messages that include photos and videos sent and received. Think about it, when you take a picture and then send it, even though you delete it from your camera roll, it is still necessary to hold in memeory as being part of the text history. It is only removed from the phone when you delete it from the text message as well. This also applies to text messages received. This is a large hidden area to most people!
good luck.

Restore the iOS. You may have to do this as a new phone (without using a backup). Note that "other" contains messages and emails - if you have a lot of these, especially with photos/videos, that would account for the other usage.

How to remove dead files from the library?

Hello.
I'm using iTunes (7.6.1.9) on Vista (32 bit) mainly for synching my iPod (nano 3G). I organize my files with other tools like mp3tag. Sometimes I rename the folders where tracks are stored (e.g. I add the release year to the folder name). All this is done outside of iTunes.
Now, when I want to access tracks in iTunes, it happens that iTunes doesn't find the files (because the folder or files were renamed). I can re-add the folder to the library, that's no problem.
But how can I remove all dead files at once from the library? I don't feel like searching the complete library myself (for this is what a PC is made for, isn't it?).
Is there any tool that can help me with this?
Thanks in advance
Martin

You can use one of Roberst Jacobson's scripts - iTunesRemovenotfound:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
Or if you prefere to do it in iTunes:
Using a playlist to collect dead tracks for deletion.
Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
Select whole library and drag to Playlist1
Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
This playlist should contain all the dead tracks

Removing backup files from external hard drive

Hi, I hope you can help me here. My macbook (the silver 2010 model) has become horrendously slow so I wanted to move all of my photos and music to my external drive. Come to plug it in I found out that I only had 45GB left on it and located an old system backup that's probably taking up a loooot of space. I tried to delete it but I guess that just gets rid of the image but not the actual files. Tried plugging it into my PC at work but the drive (WD MyPassport) is formatted for Mac and so the PC won't recognise it. Is there any way to erase these files or partition the disk without completely wiping the whole disk, which seems like my only option at the moment? Copying the files back to my laptop is not an option unfortunately.

But on my other external hard drives, the files i send to trash, end up in the trash and do not get deleted. I feel like there is something wrong with permissions or some hidden files i don't know about on that specific external drive.
