Permanent deletion

i like the idea of time machine. but once in a while i want to get delete something without backing it up.
how do i permanently delete one or more files (adult films, financial statements, adult films) but still have time machine back up the rest of my drive?

If you want to delete a file that has already been backed up:
- click on the Time Machine dock icon to enter the UI
- find and select the file in your Time Machine backup
- from the action ("gear") menu in the Time Machine Finder toolbar select "Delete All Backups of <Filename>"
If you want to prevent a file or directory of files from being backed up in the first place use the "Options..." button in the Time Machine preference pane and create a list of locations that you do not want backed up.

  • Table space not getting cleaned after using free method (permanent delete)

    Hi ,
    We are using the free method of the LIB OBJ, to permanently delete the objects. As per documentation, the ContentGarbageCollectionAgent will be cleaning the database which runs in a scheduled mode. But the log of that ContentGargabageCollectionAsgent shows, all zero for objects without reference, objects cleared,etc. I.e the table space remains the same before and after deleteing all the contents in the cmsdk database. But the agent is running as per the schedule but just comes out doing nothing.
    Can anbody put some light on this issue.
    thanks
    Raj.

    Hi Matt,
    Thanks for replying. It's been a very long time waiting for you ;)
    ---"Are you running the 9.2.0.1, 9.2.0.2, or 9.2.0.3 version of the Database?"
    we are using 9.2.0.1
    ---"If you installed the CM SDK schema in the "users" tablespace ......."
    Yes we are using USERS tablespace for our Development.
    I ran the query. The result is:
    SYSTEM MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    USERS MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    CTXSYS_DATA MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    CMSDK1_DATA MANUAL NOT AFFECTED
    (USERS belongs to develpoment cmsdk schema. And CMSDK1 for Prod CMSDK schema)
    From the results I see only "Manual", but still I don't see the tablespace size being coming down. Both table space sizes (USER and CMSDK1) always grows higher and higher.
    Also to let you know, We use ORACLE EM Console (Standalone) application to see the oracle databse information online. Will there be any thing to do with the tool we use to see the table space sizes. We make sure we always refresh it before making a note.
    So is there anything else I can see. Once I saw the ContentGarbageCollection agent to free 1025 objects and deleted 0 objects. But I don't see any change in the table space size. I am little confused b/w freed and deleted.
    thanks once again for your response Matt.

  • How to permanently delete voice memos from iPhone 4s?

    As you can see, I have over 387 voice memos somewhere on my phone, and I want them permanently deleted. I've deleted the voice memos through the voice memos app, and these appear to be all of the deleted voice memos. I tried deleted the voice memos playlist, and that didn't do anything either. This list is shown on the new iTunes.... where you click "On This Phone" when looking at my connected iphone. It's taking up a ton of space on my phone and I don't need them. A majority of them appear to be the exact same voice memo just in there a bunch of times. I can't find a solution anywhere for this.
    Also, how can I make sure that any future voice memos don't sync to my iTunes? I can't find an option to uncheck the syncing of voice memos. All of these changes are confusing me.
    Thank you!
    UPDATE: I just checked, and I do not have voice memos checked in itunes as syncing to my computer from my phone. So why was it syncing anyway? I don't understand.

    I was having a similar issue and I if I understand correctly, I think this is a solution for others..
    in itunes with iphone plugged in, go to summary tab. click "manually manage music.." and apply. Then go to "on this phone tab" and you can actually physically delete the voice memo playlist or individual voice memos. This appears to have finally worked for me..or at least the voice memos playlist doesn't persist under the "on this phone tab" anymore....not sure it made a huge difference in my iphone available space.

  • Permanently deleting emails from Gmail, while saving them in AppleMail

    I'm trying to figure out how to permanently delete emails from my Gmail All Mail folder without deleting them from the folders I moved them to in the On My Computer area of my AppleMail on my MacBook Pro.  I like the IMAP syncing function in Gmail that keeps my iphone, ipad and MacBook all synced from an email perspective.  However, I don't like my emails living on Gmail's servers any longer than they have to.  I don't want them living on Apple's servers either, so I'm not using iCloud. 
    I only want emails to remain on the Gmail servers for as long as I keep them in either my inbox or sent items.  I use those two folders as my holding zones for items that still require action.  Once I have done what needs to be done in regard to an email, I either delete it or I move it to a folder under On My Computer on my MacBook Pro for possible later reference.  If I move an email to a folder, I never want it to be deleted.  I use a Time Capsule to back up my Macbook through Time Machine, so I'm not worried about losing my historical email files from a hard drive problem.  I also back up the MacBook quarterly to a separate hard drive which I store offsite in case a catastrophe at my home destroys both my MacBook and the Time Capsule.
    I have about 8 years of email history that I imported from my old PC into the MacBook in AppleMail and I now want to clean out the All Mail account in my Gmail to delete all those emails, but I need them to remain in my folder system on the MacBook.
    Can anyone tell me how to delete all mail from the Gmail account without having the IMAP function delete them from my MacBook Pro?
    Here's an added complication.  When I move an email from my inbox to a folder on my MacBook, I do want that email to disappear from my ipad and my iphone. In essence, I like to manage all my emails from my MacBook Pro if they need to be saved into folders, but I also like to be able to delete emails that don't need to be saved from any of my devices and have that deletion sync to all my devices.
    I haven't been able to figure this one out.  Any help is appreciated.

    Make local folders (On My Mac) and move the mails there, they will delete from the GMail servers but remain accessible in Mail, only in Mail.
    All Mail (in Gmail) is not a folder, it is a label for all your mail, anything in there is also in one of GMails folders, when you delete from All Mail you are deleting the original mail.

  • How do I permanently delete music from iTunes library and iPhone?

    I had some old music I didn't like anymore so I went to delete it but it still shows up in my iTunes library and my phone. I plug in my phone to my laptop and in iTunes, all of the apparently deleted songs are gray text instead of black and they all have a gray, dotted circle next to it and this is really bothering me because all I see is clutter. Same goes for my phone. When "Show All Music" is turned off, I don't see any of the deleted songs which is what I want but when it's turned on, they come back with the iCloud symbol next to it and I don't like that at all. I want ALL of my songs to be PERMANENTLY DELETED meaning that if "Show All Music" is turned on or off, I don't want to see the music in my phone or in my iTunes library.

    Hi Jessica,
    I found an article how you could do that on iTunes: iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support and another blog post on this issue: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/delete-phantom-icloud-songs-your-iphone-015457 5/
    Give it a try.
    With kind regards,

  • Windows shared folder asks for permanently delete

    Hi,
    Any file from windows shared folder asks for permanently delete and after that it is not recoverable... Please help, how to enable recycle bin service?? 

    Hi,
    This is by design the Recycle Bin only stores files deleted from local drives, not from a shared folder. The workaround is to move a folder in C:\users\<user name> to the shared folder.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
    Files deleting over the Network /share drive is not going to the recycle bin it permanently delete the file but deleting from local drive is normaly going to recycle Bin !

  • How To Permanently DELETE APPLE ID?

    Hi guys,
    I have two APPLE IDs and I wanted to permanently delete the other one. How do I do this? I cannot seem to find any option that allows me to do so.
    Thank you so much

    Just delete it from anywhere it is used on your devices and computers and stop using it. You cannot delete the account itself - just abandon it.

  • How do I permanently delete an app from my iPad and App Store?

    I would like to permanently delete apps from my iPad and my Purchased list in the App Store. How do I do this? These apps are ones that I have tried and found to be useless or do not work correctly. I have deleted apps from iTunes Store, but I cannot get rid these unwanted apps on my iPad and this is very annoying.
    Apple may think that users out there who may change their mind. However I am not one of them. If something is useless and does not work correctly, then I do not want to see it again. Some of these apps I have paid for, but I am prepared to accept that loss as a bad purchase. So Apple, please provide a facility to allow users to permanently delete apps from the App Store. Obviously, Apple would have to include the appropriate warnings that permanently deleting apps cannot be reversed.

    Hi ..
    You can delete the currenlty installed apps. Hold down an app until all the apps jiggle. Then on each app tap the x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once to to stop the apps from jiggling.
    And you can hide purchases >  iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    But purchase history cannot be delete.
    "Obviously, Apple would have to include the appropriate warnings that permanently deleting apps cannot be reversed."
    Apps can re downloaded using the same Apple ID for free >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Password protecting mail app and permanent deletion of emails so they don't appear in spotlight search

    I realise that there is a temporary way to prevent this happening by unticking the 'mail' option in the spotlight search settings menu, but how do you permanently delete the emails? I assumed that when I hit delete then emptied the trash box, the mails were gone for good. But finding that they remain stored in some hidden place and can be easily accessed is very annoying! In fact, finding that other users can quickly change the settings back and have free access to my email is rather disturbing anyway, especially as there is no way to password protect my email account once i activate the mail app. the apple mail app is linked to my yahoo account, but within yahoo mail there seems to be no problem in regards to deleted mail being stored somewhere else, only within the apple app system.
    So i guess id like to know, is there some way to password protect my account or do I just need to keep deleting my account before lending the ipad to someone else and then reinstating it? And is there any way to properly delete emails for good?
    I would be happy just to go without the mail app and log in directly through yahoo in Safari, except that I find the notification alert when I receive a new mail very handy!!

    [edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.

  • How can I permanently delete subfolders in email Trash?

    I have been getting duplicate email messages in one of my email folders for several weeks.  I think it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.6.  I have RoadRunner as a mail server and have not had this problem before on either my iMac or a previous PC.  I read many many support messages regarding duplicate email messages from this board and tried many of the hopeful fixes but none of them worked on a permanent basis. 
    I do not have any other electronic machines that hold or try to access my email.  I did, however just order a new laptop and would really like to get the duplication problem fixed before I receive the new computer.
    I have 2 email addresses on one server (RoadRunner).  They each have their own folder in Mail Inbox,  one is labeled Personal and the other is labeled Business.  I can send and receive email from my Personal address but I can only RECEIVE mail from my Business address.  I receive the duplicate messages in my Business Inbox folder. 
    I have deleted messages only to see them reappear the next time I open the folder.  Some of the 'fixes'  I tried caused me to have 3 or 4 duplications.  I noticed that all the instances of a message and its duplications would go to the Trash folder when I used the delete feature.   My Trash Folder also has 2  subfolders, one for Personal and one for Business.  I noticed that when I try to drag a deleted message from the Trash/Business folder it would not allow itself to be placed back in the Inbox/Business folder.  But when I dragged the deleted message from the main Trash Folder to the Inbox/Business folder it would allow itself to be deposited.  So, I deleted the subfolders under the Trash Folder and all seemed to be great.  No more duplicated.  But - the subfolders keep reappearing when I reopen mail.  I have deleted the subfolders each time, but they won't stay deleted.  How do I permanently delete the Trash subfolders?

    You are seeing an intentional but strange feature of GMail...  nothing is ever deleted, and instead remains forever in All Mail.  You probably want to just hide All Mail from Mail, so that you don't have to see it and don't have all those messages syncing back to your Mac.  See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail.  There has been one change on GMail since I wrote that, though...  you no longer have to go to Labs and turn on Advanced IMAP.

  • How can I permanently delete an old phone number from my 'receive iMessage from' list?

    I have just got a new contract and iPhone. I wanted to get rid of my old number because of people hassling me on it. However I can still receive iMessages through my old number even though I have a brand new phone and SIM card! I have de-selected it on the 'receive from' list, but I want to permanently delete the number for a fresh start. I have logged into my icloud account on apple but as I didn't actually register the previous device with apple there seems to be no option to remove it. can anyone help? Why can I not just swipe and delete this number!!! Ridiculous! So much for a fresh start   just turning the option off isn't the same.

    See Apple Support article TS5185. Note that although the problem that article concerns doesn't apply to you, the solution it describes does.

  • How can I permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items (getting started, most recent, etc.)?

    I can't seem to permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items. They show up frequently on start-up, even after manually deleting them in a previous session. I use 3.6 x_32 on Linux (for Flash) and 4.0 RC 1 x_64 (for non-flash) sharing the same profile.
    I use the X-marks extension and I thought that was the cause the problem, but the problem keeps happening even after deleting all of the the default items in each version and then overwriting my x-marks server data with a forced upload both times.
    I'm guessing that x-marks will be most people's prime suspect. I just want to make sure that firefox isn't recreating the items as a default behavior.
    I know it's a minor annoyance, but I keep my bookmarks toolbar pretty full. Thanks.

    Does it still happen if you temporarily disable Xmarks?
    Doesn't it work if you hide the Bookmarks Toolbar?
