Need help - File is impossible to delete

I have the trial version of Photoshop CS2 installed, but there is one file I can not get rid of no matter what I try, even if I uninstall the program.
The file is "Tieng Viet.html" in the Legal folder (the E, and the T are special characters, which I assume to be vietnamese).
I've tried renaming it, deleteing it, using all sorts of deleting Apps, and nothing will work, or let me alter the file.
I'd like to get rid of it since I can't turn off FileVault since it's not able to copy that file.
Any ideas?

Hi, Xipher.
See:
1. "File system, I/O, Illegal Name errors, or system
crash after you install (Photoshop CS2, Illustrator
CS2, Adobe Creative Suite 2)."
2. My "Solving
Trash Problems" FAQ. In particular, you may find
the utilities recommended therein for dealing with
stubborn files especially helpful.
Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions, but I still can't get it deleted.
Repairing in the Disk Utility says it's complete but the file is still un-deleteable.
I also tried the suggestions and other Applications, such as Cocktail to delete it, but I always wind up getting a "No such file or directory" error.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

  • Need help writing a script to delete a folder to run at startup

    I have no experience with this and need full assistance to set this up.
    I am hoping to write a script which can be run at startup on a single client machine which is giving me font trouble. Our client machines are network controlled by our server and have multiple users all in the Server user database.
    The fonts are behaving badly until we trash this folder HD>Library>Caches>com.apple.ATS
    On restart the fonts behave as expected.
    Can someone help me write a script or give me a command I can insert in a crontab with Cronnix to delete this folder at startup?
    Thanks

    They both work fine (read that as: it can be added into either place) While that message in crontab seems to intimate that Apple will do something drastic like disable or make it hard to run cron I cannot see how, cron has been in all *nix's since the beginning so to remove it would anger quite a few people...
    Having said that, If you want to make a launchd item you would put the below into /Library/LaunchDaemons/ create a file (call it someting memorable like 'Delete_com.apple.ATS') put this into it:
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>

    and finally load it...

  • I Need Help : File Managment with ITunes

    I have a library of music on an external drive. I ripped my CD's with Winamp in .wav format. I bought an IPod, and ultimately would like to convert my .wav files on my external drive into .aac, then upload to my ipod. I imported the file into my music library (iTunes reorginized all of my files, which was a problem) but they remain in .wav format. When I highlight the file and run "convert to .acc" from the "Advanced"drop down menu. This converts the file, buy duplicates an instance of the song, and it is very difficult to manage the files (determining which have been coverted ect)
    Any suggestions?

    Right click on any column title of the Library view and check "Kind" so you will see amoung other information the file kind (AAC, MP3, etc.).
    Then, left click on the column title "Kind" so your song will be ordered by kind. Now you have all you WAV and AAC songs separated. You can now delete the ones you want and remove the "Kind" column when no longer needed.

  • Need help file sharing with a powermac G4 and ibook

    I need to transfer files from my G4 to an ibook. I am using ethernet slot B on the G4 and the ibook has an airport card. I also have a router. Does anyone have an easy way to do this? I want to set up a connection between these two computers without using the internet. Appletalk is active on the g4, and file sharing is on yet the activity monitor does not show the ibook as a connected user. I tried to find the G4 on the ibook by connecting to server but it does not recognize the g4 when I either type the name of the computer or browse the network. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would a CD writer for the G4 be a better option?
    Thank you.

    I tried to find the G4 on the ibook by connecting to server but it does not recognize the g4 when I either type the name of the computer or browse the network.
    If you are running Mac OS before 9 and trying to connect to Mac OS after 10.3, you will not be able to do it without additional software.
    If you connect the iBook to the router with an Ethernet cable, you may be more successful, as some routers do not pass AppleTalk packets from wireless to wired.
    The FireWire approach will also work, and yes, it mounts the other computer's drives on your desktop.

  • Need help in  simple script to delete backup folders datewise in windows

    Hi,
    I am using the script to copy the data folder and place it to backup directory as :
    set TIMESTAMP=%DATE%-%TIME:~0,2%-%TIME:~3,2%-%TIME:~6,2%

  • Need help backing up contacts from deleted exchange email address.

    I had a microsoft exchange email that has been deleted. All contacts have been lost however they are still on my ipad as I have not changed any settings. Bc they are apart of exchange server they wont save to cloud. Any ideas how I can save them and re populate my iphone, icloud or macbook air?  At this point manually transferring over 3k contacts would take forever.

    Check out the application I posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529, it works on basic device and smartphones well, the full version is a bit costly but it allows you to use the app for free a number of times before it request you buy, I bought the app because it backup everything I keep in one area and at one time..  
    Give it try it may be the one for you..

  • Help please! Restore Backup deleted my most recent data

    Hi,
    Desparately need help please!
    I accidentally deleted a note that was quite important, though not the end of the world if I lost it. Then I looked at iTunes and there's the 'Restore Backup' button under 'Backups'. So I thought, OK why don't I try click that and see if the note is in the back up.
    But after clicking it, without asking for confirmation it just went ahead and restored my iPhone to a very old state. So my recent photos, notes, etc, now all disappeared! Only the apps appear to be merged - so my recently deleted apps came back and my existing ones are still there as well. I was hoping for the notes and photos the restore process would do the same but apparently not.
    Is there any way I can revert this restore process so I can go back to the state before I did the restore?
    Thanks in advanced for any help.

    Just update your replacement phone to the latest iOS in iTunes.  (Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Check for Update.  You may receive a prompt when you launch iTunes that an update is available; if so, update from there.)  When given the options, set it up as a new iPhone.
    Then eject it from iTunes, disconnect it from your computer, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  You should be able to restore from your backup now.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger and this will take some time to finish.

  • Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing

    Hi All
    Please find the details below:
    1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
    and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
    2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
    3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
    4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
    Issue Details_
    1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
    2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:
    [*2011-01-12T16:55:48.639+05:30] [soa_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.soa.adapter] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@19c243d]*

    Delete the file and restart server. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
    If any one has faced similar issues, kindly provide pointers on how to resolve it.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
    Keep the following property in your .jca file
    <property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
    While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks,

  • I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive

    Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!

    I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

    Hi Sukrit,
    Thanks for answering
    Here is my workflow:
    - open file explorer in Windows 8.1
    - look for something.pdf I want to check in any dir;
    - click on it: opened by Adobe reader (default)
    - read and decide what to do
    - close Adobe reader (red X upright corner)
    - as needed try to suppress in file explorer it by selecting the filename and punch the 'Supp' key (french kbd) or del (Intl kbd)
    This is where it says 'impossible to delete, file used by another program"
    Same if I try to rename or move: conclusion: the handle take a good while before closing.
    Now I find that it takes about 20 to 30 second to close the handle, then "DEL" or "RENAME" work
    But any time I try DEL or RENAME this delay starts again running:
    But 20 secs is too much and makexs it difficult to concentrate on the job.
    What I do now:  remember (paper, immortal paper, paper everywhere!) what I want to del and do that at the end of my session
    Hope Adobe will have a look at the issue!
    Thanks & Bye
