Remove this files to make space on server

Hi all,
I have Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 server, We are using this for our support suite (Support email system) and for our web service.
Now since last 2-3 days i am getting message on "System Disk Full" I found that
Major space consume by mail-bin000. files.
this file location is...
/private/var/mysql
I found that i have files since last 2 years. Daily create one one file & every day file size going increase.
What kind of file is this .... "Mail-bin.000152"
Can I delete this files ?
Can some one help me to make enough space on my server.
Thanks for your kind support..

This doesn't sound like something the standard MySQL would do (at least, nothing I've ever seen my servers do), so therefore is likely to be something specific to that machine.
Have you looked at the files to see what they contain? use the command:
file <filename> to get the OS to (try to) determine the file content. If it's plain text just cat one of the files to display its content.
If it looks like some kind database file then I wouldn't delete it yet, but if it's just something like a maintenance message feel free to delete them (although I wouldn't expect them to be taking up a lot of space if that were the case).

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

I keep getting blue screen and error message to remove this file from system. spooldr.sys

HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - G510n    w/operating system     Windows XP Professional
I installed the printer in February and the disk did not finalize the setup process. I went online and
down loaded the drivers and software that was offered from the HP website.
The printer works, but as the months have gone along, I keep getting updates for the printer and
the system needs to reboot and it does automatically.
Now I am getting a blue screen with a critical dump error message. HP error reporting keeps sending
the same message back to restore to earlier date before the updates. That worked for awhile. Now
HP Error system says that malware has corrupted and needs to remove system file     spooldr.sys
Is this in your driver software. Spooldr is the system that caches pages of data for printing in chronological
order....
Can I uninstall my software and drivers and change to the plain & simple, print and scan to prevent the
spool driver from loading to my system?

Thank you for your input. But, It is amazing that you can tell me that I was infected with rootkit.
Without information as to how to fix, your information is after the fact and useless.
I used the Safety Scanner provided to me by HP.  A full scan didn't detect any Malware in any files on my system. But the last screen dump provided the information that   spooldr.sys was corrupted and needed
to be removed.
Coming into HP Form, I did read on the HP website that my system Windows XP Professional was not listed
and noted that the software may have not been just what I needed. This was the reason for the question
about uninstalling and reinstalling less of the program. I really don't need my printer to print backward and
that is all I see that it is doing that other printers don't.
Besides, Kudos goes to the person from HP who sent the email, suggesting I used the HP Update software and drives recommended for my computer system. Computer, printer is working, back to normal and hasn't taken a dump since, I uploaded software and drives for Windows XP Professional.

How do I delete files and make space

Please

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Time capsule and time machine - permanently deleting files to make space

This may have an obvious answer - I recently bough TC and set up TM. Since TM backsups everything, what do I do if I want to delete a file forever, and never want it to be backed up in TM and take up space in TC? thanks

How are you trying to access these "old" files? That is are you trying to access them through Time Machine or directly from the Time Capsule using the Finder?

How can I remove a file on server w/ my JSP app running on Tomcat 7 ?

First of all, I'm posting here because I found it the closest to java web development in the forums listing.
How can I remove a file on the server side with my JSP app running on Tomcat 7 ? I did it in a JSE app by changing permissions, but how can I do it for a simple JSP app ?
My code is
public static void excluirArquivos(String nomeArquivoExcluido) {
          File arquivoExcluido = new File (nomeArquivoExcluido);
          arquivoExcluido.setWritable(true, true);
          SecurityManager sm = new SecurityManager();
          try {
               sm.checkDelete(arquivoExcluido.getAbsolutePath());
               System.gc();
               if (arquivoExcluido.delete()) System.out.println("File '" + nomeArquivoExcluido + "' successfully removed.");
               else System.out.println("File '" + nomeArquivoExcluido + "' wasn't removed somehow.");
          } catch (SecurityException se) {
               System.out.println("File '" + nomeArquivoExcluido + "' can't be excluded. There is no permissions.");
     }And it always falls on the catch statement.

2. make sure the file is in fact not locked (for example, opened by another process)
3. use File.delete()
There is no guarantee that you can delete a file, you can only make an attempt. There can be any number of reasons, most if not all of them not related to code, that the deletion of a file does not work.

Clclean...... Does ANYONE know what this file/folder is

I have gone through NUMEROUS sources to determine if 'clclean.0000' <to name one file> is malware or if it is valid. I have traced back to Creative Audigy, but this doesn't truly make any sense as clclean.0000 is located in /Docs & Settings/usr/Local Settings/Temp. Clclean is a folder, file, & process. Whenever a boot sequence occurs, this process isn't logged in MSCONFIG nor in the startup. However, I open my task mgr & the process is there. I have gone through the suggested routes regarding removing this file, but the file still remains no matter what I do <Normal or SAFE Mode>. There is even a posting on the Creative boards regarding this file, but there are NO replies. Can ANYONE answer what is the purpose of file/folder/process?

That is nothing to worry about. Safari has supported HTML 5 local starage since version 4.0, you probably never noticed it before. It's a way for a web site to locally cache data that you create when you visit their web site. That way the data is still there when you go back to the site. I'm sure it has other uses as well.
Here is some info about how to implement HTML 5 Local Storage from the Safari developer's site. You can do a Google search for more info if you are really interested.
I have almost 400 files in that directory from various web sites I've visited dating back to the middle of 2010.

I can't delete this file !!

Hi,
Actually I'm really facing a very strange situation..
It happened that I have a file that all the permissions it has is that it can be read by its owner..
and to make it even more odd, the owner is 'root'...
I can't figure a way to remove this file, but I really have to..
It all started when I tried to remove a probable virus file from a 'ntfs' partition..
but when I mounted this partition, I found that I can't delete this file...
Oh, I forgot to say that I couldn't delete it from windows either, so ???
Any help is appreciated ..
thanx in advance..

yehdev_cc wrote:Thank you for the replies...
@richs-lxh : The problem is that I don't have the permission to change the owner or the permissions.. even the owner of the file (it's the 'root') doesn't have this permission!!
If you mount the ntfs partition, change ownership and make it writeable, you can do whatever you want to any file. Root is God
Ok, so go for installing ntfs-3g.
Now mount the partition to a directory called /windows.
You can chown the owner of the entire partition recursively with the -R switch. For example:
su to root
su
make a mount directory
mkdir /windows
backup fstab before editing
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
open fstab with nano
nano fstab
copy and paste this code (change hda1 to your windows partition) Then "ctrl+X" to exit "Y" to save and "Enter" to quit.
/dev/hda1 /windows ntfs defaults 0 0
mount all partitions
mount -a
change owbnership to root, recursively, every single file (may take a few minutes)
chown -R root:root /windows
add write permissions, recursively, every single file (may take a few minutes)
chmod -R 755 /windows
Now go and delete the file. If you can't delete the file I would really like some further information on what virus it is/was, as I have never had any Windows file which I couldn't remove as root.
PS: If you have "System Restore" enabled on Windows, disable it and delete it. It's the first place where all the nasties go to hide, and then reinfect the system later.

Compressed hard drive to make space and now computer gives error message and refuses to start up.

Hi,
I wanted to make space on my T43 and made the unfortunate mistake of compressing the hard drive. Everything was fine till i turned the computer off. Now when i turned it on the next day, it refuses to start up and gives an error message saying ' AEQSPQ is compresse, Press ctrl+alt+del to restart' . But when I press these, it does not restart but temporarily shows me the IBmM logo page where I have an option to interrupt normal startup by going into the BIOS utility, and then it goes back to the same error message. I do not know what to do in the BIOS part.
I am getting an ATA hard drive case to back up my computer memory but i do not know how to fix this problem. I have important documents on my computer that i need urgent access to and cannot. Desperate need of help here. Would appreciate advice. Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I chose the built in windows option to compress and it did not distingusih it as a non compressible file. I went to my computer and right clicked on drive C, where i chose 'compress files to make space'. It took a few minutes and was done.
The error message in itself does not give any hits on google but i found some similar cases of hard drives being compressed and people getting the same error message as me but with a different file name.
My case is very similar to this case, : http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xprepair/thread/39f3b8cf-419f-435b-818d-11cd05d17ff..., only difference is that she has an HP and I have an IBM.
According to the post above, it is a very common problem and HP has even written an article about it, with step by step instructions on how to fix the problem but i do not know how to apply these steps to my T43. You might have guessed by now that I am no computer whiz. Hope u can assist. Once again, thanks a bunch. I appreciate your help.

This file: /private/tmp/tmpinstallmc.dmg. Is it legit, or not? Is it something I might want to install, or not?

Every few days, I have this disk image labeled simply "Installer" appear on my desktop. By getting info, I find the name of the file is /private/tmp/tmpinstallmc.dmg. Since I have no idea what it is supposed to be installing, I am hesitant to install it. Since lte versions of MacOS 10 have seriously curtailed my ability to mess up my Mac by dinking around in the libraries and private folders, I have so far been unable to find it to remove it.
MacBookPro 15", Late 2011, 2.2GHz Inter Core i7, 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.9.5 (13F34

I Found This on Another Site and followed it step by step and it removed the Installer.dmg from keep popping up. Now I'm asuming at some stage my kids clicked on MacKeeper or something like that and it Added it to a .plist
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded": 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

So I have a file on my desktop and I cannot open it, move it to a folder, or delete it from my mac. I dont know what it has in it, and that makes me suspicious. What can I do to remove this unremovable file from my computer? Is it a virus?

So I have a file on my desktop and I cannot open it, move it to a folder, or delete it from my mac. I dont know what it has in it, and that makes me suspicious. What can I do to remove this unremovable file from my computer? Is it a virus?

First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal. This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences. I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place! So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. In the Terminal, enter the following:
sudo rm -f
Make sure to put a space after the "-f"! Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window. That should insert the path to the file in the command. Then go back to the Terminal and press return. You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure. Press return again after entering your password. The file should be deleted.
