Probelem When Deleting Files

v 2.3; Windows XP
I have been using LR since original beta and this is the first time this is occurring.  When I delete, the file deletes but still appears in LR with ? indicating lost file, but most disturbingly, LR stops responding.  I know how to use LR.  I have studied preferences but cannot find answers there.  Any thoughts?

For those who've been using LR since the beginning, sometimes a new Prefs. file can help. It takes just a couple of minutes to delete and reset. Have you also run the Relaunch and Optimize catalog in Preferences-> Catalog?
The question marks, though, may mean LR can't find the file to delete, although I just deleted an image in Finder, then deleted it from LR, got the Remove? dialog, and it kept running.

  • Error when deleting file: Could not find this item. This is no longer located in ...

    We are setting up a new Windows 2012 server. Users access this server using a 'terminal services'. We have mapped some folders from a legacy server (different domain). Using group policy preferences, we map this folder as a drive for a user.
    When user wants to delete some files, he get's the error: 'Could not find this item ..' The error is displayed to the user and it looks like the file can't be deleted. But when I press the F5 (refresh) button, the file is gone. My problem is very similar
    to a problem in the following post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/042e747a-0e25-4190-b0a2-82f3e9635eb0/can-not-delete-file-error-is-could-not-find-this-item?forum=w7itprogeneral
    When I create 'txt' (or 'pdf', 'zip') file, i can delete it without the error. When I create 'xlsx', 'docx', 'pptx', 'bmp', 'jpg', I get the error.
    Does somebody have an idea, how can I fix the cause of this problem? (I can't tell to users to hit the F5 button everytime when they face this issue)
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Hi,
    Please check if the problematic files’ filename ended with a dot. If so, you could refer to the article below to troubleshoot the issue:

  • Restored from Time Machine and now having problems when deleting files..

    I recently had to restore from a Time Machine Backup on my Macbook Pro 7,1 (2.66Ghz, 8GB Ram) ... and now, I've noticed that when I delete files from my laptop, they're not going to the trash bin, they're just "gone" ... the trash bin stays empty.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    Select the icon of your home folder in the sidebar of a Finder window, and open the Info window. In the Sharing & Permissions section, click the lock icon and authenticate. Delete all permssion entries except read & write access for you. From the action menu (gear icon), select "Apply to enclosed items." Close the Info window and try again.

  • How do I remove password when deleting files...lion

    Hi. I upgraded to Lion.
    I need to know how to remove the password everytime deleting files.
    Im going crazy...how do I remove that appliction ?
    MBK

    Thanks for your speedy reply, Mr. Alexander. I did try that yesterday, going to the doc and making sure it wasn't a read only, or locked, but it didn't seem to solve the problem. I created the files using Pages and saved them as Word docs. 45 -50 files were grouped in a master file. I attempted to send the master file via Mac's mail software and then gmail. Both requested a password from the recipient--which I did not have. I then zipped it and sent it via gmail. I think the recipient could open the main file but not extract individual files without a password. Files were sent to a PC user. I haven't had trouble sending individual files prior, though I have not tried to send these specific ones separately as I'm hopeful there's a better way.
    Thank you for time and assistance.

  • Keeps asking for password when deleting file ?

    I updated to Mac OS Lion and now every time I delete any file it asks me for my password. Any file - be it on the Desktop, in the Downloads folder or in any other place. It asks me for my password every time.
    That behaviour is annoying. Is it the new default? Or there is something wrong?
    Thanks

    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/.Trash
    2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
    4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
    5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
    6. Close the Info window and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Inconsistent selection behavior when deleting files in Cover Flow

    I love browsing through my pictures folder using Cover Flow. However, I've noticed that deleting a file by pressing Cmd-Delete produces inconsistent selection results. Sometimes Finder will select the next file down the list, and sometimes it will select no file at all. However, the Cover Flow portion of the window will always show the next file.
    It is misleading when Cover Flow shows the next file, but the file selection pane shows no file selected. I often hit the down-arrow (or right-arrow) key, expecting to skip to the next file, but the first file in the folder gets selected, Cover Flow re-winds its view, and I have to re-find my last position.
    There is also no way to select the current file by clicking on the Cover Flow preview currently showing. I have to click some other file and re-browse to the current file in order to sync up the two panes.
    Is this a bug? Does Apple know about it?

    As mentioned, cover flow does not change the basic Finder operation. Return allows editing the name and Cmd-O or Cmd-downarrow opens the item. It also functions similar to the list view, when you open a folder, the subfolders are added to the cover flow; they do not replace the cover flow icons.

  • CS4 Freezes When Deleting Files

    I've had CS4 now for a few weeks and I'm finding that whenever I try to delete a .htm file, the program freezes. I've tried the idea of deleting that cache file in the configurations folder. I've even renamed my configuration folder so a new one would be rebuilt. Same thing with the preferences folder. Any ideas on why this is occurring?

    I'm also getting frequent freezes when I try to open a folder in DW. I click on the little + sign and it just locks up. Very, very frustrating. I just upgrading from DW 8 to CS4 and right now, I'm instability like I never experienced in DW 8. Please help.

  • Error when deleting files...

    Is there anyway to se why a file isn't deleted when using:
    boolean success = (new File("filename")).delete();
    if (!success) {
    // Deletion failed
    Im trying to use it, but it always fails...

    is the file in use of your or another application ?
    did you read from the document? if this should have
    been the case, ensure that no input streams remained
    opened.I do use the file, for both input and output. But I have closed the streams...

    I do not have secure empty trash enabled..

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Hard Drive connected - Space Available never goes down when deleting files?

    I have tried 2 different USB drives connected to the new airport N router.
    Both drives work fine, an 80 GB maxtor, then replaced it with a 500GB usb seagate drive. Both drives have the same problem.
    I only hook one drive up and copy over files to the drive. The space available shows up fine, but when I delete any files, the space available never goes down.
    Any ideas how to fix this or is this just a nice big glitch?

    Anyone with a hard drive connected to the N router.
    Just copy some files the drive, then delete them while watching space available. The space available never goes down. What gives? Anyone else seeing this problem?

  • Password required when deleting file

    I am a new mac user and transfered files from my PC. I tried to delete a file and a popup window requires a password. I type the password (it does not tell me it is wrong, unless it is) and I hear a sound, but the file is not deleted. Help!

    I think I did this right. Went to terminal; changed directory by typing
    cd documents/favorites/
    then typed ls and this is what I got:

  • Can not delete file. Error is "Could not find this item".

    I get the following error when trying to delete a file:  "Item not found".  This is a Word 2007 document that would not save properly so I saved it with a different name.  Now I can't delete the original file.
    The body of the error states "Could not find this item.  This is no longer located in... . Verify the item's location and try again.

    Hi,
    I'm having exact the same problem with a file with a long name, to delete, move, rename, attribute change, etc. I deleted the file, which I receive the confirmation. However, the file is still there, with zero bytes and no extension. When I try
    to delet, move or change the file, I get the error "Could not find this item, This is no longer located in xxx. Verify the item's location and try again."
    I tryed everything: Using DOS, there's no 8.3 name format; In safe mode; chkdsk and sfc. Nothing worked.
    I also tryed the tricks in http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/27924-could-not-find-item-when-deleting-files-3.html
    http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1038943.htm
    Without success.
    I took some more time and found this tool on the net "DelinvFile". It works perfectly, after trying EVERYTHING!!!.
    I Have Windows 7 professional 64bits and NTFS.
    Thank you very much.
    Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou......... We are almost bald tearing our hair out over this issue and how to fix it.     Delin File WORKS...... At the cost of about 28 bucks well worth it.............. Good onya mate............

  • Cant delete files on external hard drive (Mac OSX Lion, LR3&4)

    Lightroom can't send items to trash when deleting files on an external drive if the trash bin is empty for the relevant drive on OSX Lion. This was in LR3 and now in 4. You can get round this by making sure the trash is not emptied after deleting a random file or folder but there has to be a better way!
    Also it seems to be a lightroom problem more than OS as Bridge can delete the files with no problem.
    Any ideas on this?

    I'm having the same problem, but there are so many other issues with LR4 -some enormous, some just downright bizarre -that I almost forgot about this one.  ;-). Good catch on the empty trash bin though.  How'd you figure that out? I'm impressed.
