HT1923 I can't delete the Apple folder in Common Files

My computer would not recognize my iPhone. I tried the troubleshooting tips found online, uninstalling everything in order. When verifying all files had been removed, I could not delete the Apple folder in Common Files as it says the folder or a file in it is open in another program. When checking my programs I see iCloud remains (published by Apple). Need that be uninstalled as well? How important is it to delete the Apple folder which has an Internet Services folder in which are two other folders (filled with files), an application AppleOutloodDAVConfig64, and three application extensions? I can no longer remember if my phone had remained connected to the computer throughout all of the process or not,

Does it say something is in use in there?

How do I delete the apple folder in common files

I am trying to delete the apple folder from common files. When I click on apple, internet services comes up. I tried to delet those but it says they are open in the internet. I don't know how to close them. Please help.

I just fixed this. I had to,delete iCloud from my PC. Make sure it is still on your ipad, etc.!!! There were programs open in iCloud preventing me from deleting all the apple files so that I could reinstall itunes. I did not find that out on any of the apple support postings. Apple should have told me to delete iCloud as they did the other components.

Can't delete Apple folder in Common Files

I went to the Genius Bar today. They were not able to solve my problem but they did a full restart of my iPod and told me to reinstall iTunes on my home computer.
Before reinstalling iTunes, I followed Apple's instructions for deleting all Apple software on my computer (Windows 7). However, I have been unable to delete the Apple folder in the Common Files folder.
I searched for hours online for solutions to deleting this file. It looks like several people have had this problem and several suggestions have been made but nothing has worked for me.
Among the things I have tried are stopping and restarting explorer.exe. I also downloaded Byetunes but it looks like I can only delete one file at a time and there must be hundreds of files in this folder. This is madness.
I would deeply appreciate as complete a list as possible of ways to delete this file.
It should not be this hard to find out how to delete a file!
Thank you.

Followed the procedures as layed out in Apple Support online, but now I still can't delete the "Apple" folder in "Common Files" (during the 'verifying you've actually deleted iTunes' step...).
Do you have the iCloud control panel currently installed? If so, try uninstalling that. Can you do the deletion now?

Can I delete the "Public" folder?

I'm wondering if I can delete the Public folder, or if I should refrain from doing so?
I've tried to figure out what the purpose of the Public folder is, but I'm not sure if I've understood correctly..
As far as I can see, it's there for other people to access the files within (which I don't find very comforting in the first place).
Since I have no use for sharing files with people this way, I figure I have no use for this folder either.
So, that's my reasoning for wanting to delete this folder.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Where the Public Folder comes in handy is if you want to share files between other users of your Mac. Normally, when you log on, you cannot access other user account's files...except for the Public Folder. If you are the only user, then even though you won't really take advantage of this feature, you really won't gain much from deleting it either.

How can I delete the Photostream folder in iOS?

So yeah hi everyone!
I guess the title says it. I'd like to delete the Photostream folder in iOS from my “Photos” App?
I've already tried:
to reset Photostream on icloud.com.
turn off Photostream on my iOS Device.
deleting the iCloud Account from my iOS Device.
It didn't work work.

This is the correct solution...
1. Sign into iCloud account (the one linked to the inactive photostream album)
2. Make sure photostream is turned ON
3. Take a picutre, and wait for it to appear in the Photostream.
4. Go into setting and turn off photostream, deleting all pictures, and getting rid of the photostream album.
No waiting for 30 days now!well its gone but when i turn it on again they are bk so i think u have to w8 30 days

Can I delete the NOS folder containing the adobe get plus stuff?

I downloaded Flash player 10 version 10.0.32.18 from the adobe site. Along with that program being installed another program was installed (ADOBE Get Plus?). It contains an exe file helperSvc.exe along with something about "getPlus+". I deleted this program. Will it effect the functioninga nd security of Flash Player 10 version 10.0.32.18? I notice if I download flash player 10 when I'm at a website that requires flash player, example www.dallasstars.com, I get the flash player 10 version 10.0.32.18 but with out the NOS folder and all the get plus stuff. So if I download flash player 10 version 10.0.32.18 from adobe and then delete the NOS folder/getPlus program, will all be ok?

By deleting it doesn't it leave stuff behind that causes me to get an error? ( getPlus+ Error 16236.203.235)

Can I delete the MoblieSync folder in my Library folder

I am trying to save some space on my iMac. The MobileSync folder is 85.5 GB and I know that this is my iPhone back up. If i delete it, will iTunes just start over fresh or would this be a bad idea?

Hello Matt:
I generally agree with "I." Deleting system files can cause problems. One way of accomplishing that is to do a custom install (archive and install from where you are) and deselect the drivers that are not relevant (however, that would be time consuming). An A&I also creates a rather large +"previous system"+ folder that could be deleted after the process is successfully completed.
If you really want to try, move the folders you wish to trash (do not dump it yet!). See if your system behaves normally. If it does, i think you could then empty the trash to free space. I would NEVER make system changes without a good backup/restore process in place. In my case, I use both Time Machine and SuperDuper (for bootable clones).

Can I delete the Apple ID of the previous owner of this phone?

Phone belonged to a previous driver who had not completed his apple ID, so if I try to d/l an app it asks for his password, which of course I don't know! I have set up an apple ID, but it defaults to his email addr and I don't know his password.I just checked the Icloud setting and it gave me the option to delete this account (his email addr). That sounds like my solution, but does anyone know if that would delete my photos/contactes, etc??
Thanks

That means that your cousin got the phone from someone else, and it is that person's Apple ID that is needed. When this happens it usually means that the phone was lost by or stolen from the rightful owner. There is no way to make it work without the Apple ID and password that the phone is locked to. Here is the Activation Lock FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

Can I delete the "Printers" Folder in my Library?

I've been trying to free up some HD space on my MacBook and I came across a folder called "Printers" in the Library, which takes up about 4gigs. I saw that there were lots of folders for different brands such as EPSON, HP etc, and I was wondering if I could delete some of the brands that I don't use? I'm currently using a HP printer so does that mean I can delete all the others without damaging the system?
Thanks

Can I delete the Adobe folder on my desktop with all the previous version setup files?

Thanks,

The Dropbox app is free, although there are in-app purchases that get you extra storage. I believe all you need to do is re-install the Dropbox app, and then sign into your Dropbox account.

Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive. how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

You can’t, and Apple won’t do it for you; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure. Try getting a refund for it.
