No delete options of an app folder in iCloud Drive

I've install recently a File Manager app (File Hub), that created a folder in my iCloud Drive. I've deleted the app but the folder remains in iCloud Drive and the bin stays grey when the folder is selected.
Any ideas?

I had the same issue because my multiple Readdle Scanner Pro files became inaccessible on iCloud (iPad Air and iPhone 6+). 
1. Go to Settings-->General-->Usage
2. Select Manage Storage on "Storage" first, and then find and delete Scanner Pro (or any file). Sometimes you have to select "edit" first on the top right corner.
3. Repeat for iCloud Storage
4. Then, turn off your wifi and turn off and on the device (to clear cache). Sometimes you may have to reset network settings to eliminate any cache connections between iCloud Servers and background syncing on the iOS device.
5. Reinstall the App, and then select iCloud and iCloud Drive.
This worked for me. I am not sure how to make the Scanner ".psdoc" file format re-readable by the iOS devices, once uploaded.

  • HT201385 how can I see a folder in iCloud drive with documents from my computer on my other devices?  Seems like it only works with iApps like Pages etc.

    I have iCloud drive set up on all my apple devices and all is current, but I have a older I put in iCloud drive on my laptop.  How can I get to those documents in that folder on my iPhone and iPad? Is there also a way to grant access like in the good old days for someone to drop a file to me in a quasi-public folder in iCloud drive.  We did this years ago in OS7...why not now?

    You're going to find that pretty much every cloud storage system works in a similar way. Some, like OneDrive, will allow you to select what folders sync to and from every machine it's installed on.
    Maybe something like that would fit your needs better.

  • Move Mobile Apps Folder To External Drive?

    Hi guys,
    I've got a MacBook Pro running Lion with all the latest software / updates.  This has become my secondary machine (since buying a lovely 27" iMac), and I'm using iTunes Match to keep both the MacBook Pro and iMac's iTunes libraries in sync.
    Now that I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac, I don't have much need for the Mobile Apps folder on my MacBook Pro.  I have a lot of apps, so my Mobile Apps folder is ~50 gigs, and it's suddenly one of the larger items on the MacBook Pro's drive.  Would it be possible to relocate this folder to my external drive for the MacBook Pro?  I found an older suggestion (to move the Mobile Apps folder, and create a shortcut in the iTunes folder pointing back to me new location), but this didn't work at all.
    Is this do-able?  As as alternate, can I just delete all the Apps from my MacBook Pro's iTunes library (from within the app) without screwing up the syncing or (via iTunes Match) inadvertantly deleting them all from the iMac as well?
    Thanks!

    How to use an SSD with your HDD
    If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
    After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
    Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
    You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
    When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
    Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

  • How do I share one folder on iCloud Drive

    Me and my wife have different AppleID. We are going paperless and want to share one folder either on my or her iCloud Drive.
    Using a mutual Dropbox account today but want to be inside Apples ECO-system.
    Called Apple and they told me not possible. Are they correct?

    AsI said - you have to open the application folders and delete the documents  inside - for each folder separately. And wait for these changes to sync.
    The folders themselves cannot be deleted, only their content.
    The iCloud setting for the applications are device specific. If you enabled an app for iCloud on any device, you will see the application collection in iCloud, even if you disable it on other devices.
    If one disables the apps in the iCoud System Preferences, their folders disappear in the finder but are still in the cloud -- and there is a big pile of other garbage.
    First delete the documents in the folders, until they are empty on iCloud, then hide the folders on your devices by disabling the app in the "Manage my storage" iCloud preferences.
    I want to reliably delete ALL data (including any folders or metadata Apple lets us not see) -- a complete reset for iCloud Drive
    You can only delete documents you move to iCloud drive, not Apple's maintenance files.
    And you can only reset each device individually, that is using iCloud Drive, by disabling iCloud Drive, rebooting, signing in again. But you cannot reset the central storage in iCloud.
    - and there is a big pile of other garbage.
    What kind of other garbage, beside the application collections?

  • Import video from Photos app (OS X) / iCloud drive to iMove project

    I have some video clips on my iCloud drive that appears in my Photo app on OS X, that I want to edit in a iMovie project on my MacBook. How do I import these. I can't drag and drop from the Photo app to iMovie.

    If you turned off or uncheck iCloud Photo Library and My Photo Stream in the Photos app preference window, then the delete should not sync up to the cloud. Also, until you empty the 'Recently Deleted' container, the images are still on your Mac:
    https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht3bfab2f96
    Deleted photos and video aren’t immediately removed from your library; they’re placed in the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for the number of days shown, and then are deleted. You can recover the items before that period of time (see the next task). If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, the photos may remain in iCloud up to 40 days and then are removed from all your devices that use iCloud Photo Library. If you’re not using iCloud Photo Library, your deleted photos are removed from your Mac only.

  • I thought I deleted downloaded BlackBerry software, but it remained even after I did a system restore. I manually deleted it from the Apps folder, but it's still in System Profiler under Apps. How do I delete this from System Profiler?

    Right now, it seems as if it is still showing in System Profiler, then the unnecessary BlackBerry software I downloaded from the internet is still using memory, right? How do I permanently delete it?

    In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
    Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
    ._Files
    Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
    When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
    The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
    You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
    You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

  • Do i need to keep the os 9 apps folder

    I just got a new macbook pro running TIger. I don't use any os9 applications. can I delete the os 9 apps folder. (i'm trying to clear HS space.)
    Thanks

    You do not need to keep Mac OS 9 and its files on your hard disk, except if you've used Mac OS 9 fonts transferred over by the Migration Assistant. If you have used Mac OS 9 fonts on the machine, move the contents of the folder /System Folder/Fonts/ to /Library/Fonts/ before deleting the Mac OS 9 system.

  • Where is the iCloud Drive app icon (folder) in iOS 8? Like the one the show on their website.

    I am running Yosemite on my Macs and updated to ios8 on all of my iPads and iPhone. Yet, I have found no way to access my iCloud Drive folder on the mobile devices. The Apple website for iCloud clearly shows iOS devices viewing an iCloud drive folder with end user customized sub-folders. I called tech support and they agreed that that's what the website was showing but informed me that as iCloud Drive and ios8 are so new they did not know yet how to set them up. I arrange my files by project not program and I need to view PDFs and other non iWork's files. Does anyone out there have a clue? Thank you.

    I'm not using it, but my understanding is that you can only access iCloud Drive documents on an iOS device from within an app that is iCloud Drive compatible.  At least at the present time, there isn't an iCloud Drive app for an iOS device that provides general access to documents.  See http://www.imore.com/icloud-drive-clearing-up-confusion.

  • Pages deleted everything because of icloud drive

    ALL of my documents deleted from pages because i logged out of icloud drive. i Could not back up my old apple account and my old email. It had been so long that my phone # changed and i forgot everything about these accounts. I had to log out to get new apps. That resulted in the disappearance of my 15+ page essay. I spent hours upon hours writing it and now i have to redo everything within a day or else i may fail my course. I am very disappointed in apple. I did not pay thousands of dollars for this.

    Do you have a Time Machine backup of your Mac? And did Time Machine run after you completed your essay and before you signed out of iCloud?
    Then try to restore the Pages folder from Time Machine.
    Select the Pages folder on iCloud Drive.
    Then enter Time Machine, with the Pages folder the currently active Finder window.
    Go back in time, until you see your essay, select it, and click Restore.

  • I would like to use iCloud drive on my iPhone instead of dropbox but there is no app. Any suggestions??

    Hi -
    I would like to use iCloud drive on my iPhone and access all my files. I can do that very easily using Dropbox but I cannot find an app for iCloud Drive that works the same way. Am I overlooking something?????

    For individual Apps to access iCloud drive, the APP Developer must set that up.  If it is not an option in a specific application that you use, you should submit feedback to the App Developer to add the feature.

  • ICloud drive option not in settings

    Hi,
    i'm having problems with iCloud drive. When I go to settings then iCloud i don't have the option to turn on or off iCloud drive. For some reason it disappeared. I need it to use my iWork applications!
    THank you!

    Ok this led me to investigating every single option in Settings and I found the cause of this.
    I have my work e-mail on my phone along with some other work related apps. This also comes with a set of policies. In my case my companies device policy restricts the use of iCloud Drive and Photo Stream. You can check the policies and the corresponding restrictions in Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management.
