Mail app's Previous Recipients-how to delete the file?

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to Remove From List all the items in Previous Recipients, but they always return after I quit Mail and relaunch. I need to find the file that contains these stragglers and delete them forever. Anyone know where it is to be found?

Daniel,
The source of the Previous Recipient data is the AddressBook folder within the Application Support folder of your User folder (Home)/Library. It is in a file named MailRecents. In the Finder, you can delete that, but be sure for any backup source you may have in operation.
If only due to some corruption, the date last modified will stale on the MailRecents file.

  • How to delete the file with space in name

    Hi
    I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
    i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
    /bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
    I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
    String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
         Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    process = rt.exec(cmd);
    The file was not deleted.
    How to delete the file with space in name?
    Help me

    Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
    arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
    arr[1] = "-f"
    arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

  • How to delete the files from server through OAF page

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement in which i am creating files on server through my CO code.
    Now once the page is rendered, i want to delete the files from the server.
    Just wondering how can we achieve this.
    Kindly advice!
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Hi Sachin
    all the methods in the processRequest() are called during loading of the page.
    all the methods in the processFormRequest() are called during any action events on the page.
    So Use the method in processFormRequest() : write a method in
    that on which action you want to delete the file.
    regards

  • How to delete the files from iPhone before selling?

    How do I delete the files from my old iPhone4 before selling?

    Hey adhot,
    Before selling your iPhone, you'll want to follow these directions:
    Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you have removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
    Back up your device.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
    This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
    If you are using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
    Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner.
    When the device is turned on for the first time by the new owner, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
    Important: Do not manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your iCloud devices.

    Hi Chirag,
    A sample code snippet for you:-
    DATA FNAME(60) VALUE 'myfile'.
    OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT.
    OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      WRITE / 'File found'.
    ELSE.
      WRITE / 'File not found'.
    ENDIF.
    DELETE DATASET FNAME.
    OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      WRITE / 'File found'.
    ELSE.
      WRITE / 'File not found'.
    ENDIF.
    The output appears as follows:
    File found
    File not found
    Regards

    How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

    It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear in the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. If your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do it via your computer's iTunes.

    HOW to delete the saved score in a game downloaded from the app store to restart the game from the begining with fresh scores.
    i am unable to do so. please help

    In system preferences, create a new account again, using the short name of the "deleted" account. You may be prompted to re-use the old home folder. Log out and log in to test it worked. Then log in as your new admin, and do the delete process again. Don't choose to securely delete this time - just a regular delete.
    When you have time to spare, go to Disk Utility, and use the Erase tab to securely erase free space on the drive. This will accomplish the same thing that your originally tried to do. Use the fastest method - anything more secure is a waste of time. You may need to run it overnight - it can take several hours.
