Trouble Deleting

Hey
I am having trouble deleting files off my Network Storage Unit from western digital. When I delete a folder, it says that it's in use. It's not in use. If I delete a file within that folder, it's ok. But folders... it wont delete them because apparently it's in use. After a restart and a reboot... I can guarantee that the file is not in use.
Could it have something to do with the fact that the files that im trying to delete are from a MBP before it was formatted like permissions that were lost when formatting the laptop?
THanks, Grant.

Indeed...
I wasnt getting many responses with my previous question... No clue what going on here...
Is there a way to reset permissions without re formatting? I dont even know how to reset permissions on a network storage drive.
Thanks again K T

  • HT204053 my icloud id is not registered and having trouble deleting it from my ipad to replace with my original id. how can i delete my icloud if the system doesnt reconize it.

    trouble deleting icloud account from IPad. The ID is not reconized and trouble resetting it.

    Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Trouble deleting mail

    Why am I having trouble deleting some email, especially  from advertisers. Mail program tells me it cannot delete and then I have to force quit the program to get out of it.

    I hate Lion.  Why does the same mail have to into so many folders.  Mail in "Important" deletes fine.  Mail in Spam deletes fine, its only "All Mail" I have problem with.  No matter how often I delete it and no matter how many I delete at a time, it always come back.  I did what you suggested but it hasn't helped.  THis morning all the mail was back again.
    Any way I can ditch Lion and go back to Snow Leopard? 

  • Trouble deleting songs off Music with new IOS7

    Is anybody else having trouble deleting songs off their iPhone using ios7?

    What sort of "troubles" are you having? It might be that the songs you're seeing are stored in the cloud and not on the phone
    try Settings>Music and turn show all music off and see if you can delete after that

  • Trouble deleting content

    Hello! I am having trouble deleting content off my internal drive. it is komplete ultimate which is a music production software and it has a ton of content on it that I just realized can be installed on my external drive instead. I am having trouble find the actual 180 gigs of "content" from my internal harddrive which was installed. any idea where I would start looking? I already looked under library. I deleted the actual application and it is still there installed as "other" in my storage. Any help would be appreciated thank you!

    Ah thanks clinton!
    I was able to locate the files. I am facing a related problem now I don't want to delete the 180 gigs but rather move them to my external hard drive. I have located them under the "shared" folder and can drag them to the external hard drive but when I do so it still shows in my actual music software that the file has been deleted. do you know a way to actually do this the right way with the path being directed to my external hard drive for the content? thanks! you have helped me a lot with computer questions!

  • Trouble deleting music off phone

    I'm having trouble deleting music from my iPhone. When I downloaded the song and started to play it, it would skip completely or play and cut off and on, I want to know what I can do without having to plug up my phone to the computer to delete the song and repurchase it???? Help please!!
    P.s match is off

    If you're using iTunes match, until you update to iOS 6.1 you can't delete (or download) individual songs.  All you could do is delete all the music from the phone by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete.  You will then have to download the music you want on your phone again from iTunes Match.

  • Trouble deleting music off Iphone

    I trouble deleting music off iPhone and iPod through iTunes. Can't access anything on it.

    Now click on "Music" on the top left under "Library", all of your songs will appear to the right.  There is a box to the left of every song.  If it is checked, when you sync it will be transferred to your phone.  To delete a song from your phone, uncheck the box next to it.  When you have unchecked all the songs you want to delete from your phone, click on the Sync botton on the bottom right.  When your phone finishes syncing the unchecked songs should be deleted from your phone.
    To summarize: checked songs are synced to your phone when you sync, unchecked songs are deleted from your phone when you sync.
    Edit: When you are done unchecking the songs you don't want on your phone, click on the name of your phone again on the left sidebar, then click the Sync button on the bottom right.

  • Having trouble deleting e mails

    Am having trouble deleting e mails with hourglass showing and nothing happening.

    Hi sookeysox,
    It sounds like you’re running into an issue deleting messages in Mail on your Mac mini. If you haven’t already, try adjusting the Mail preferences as suggested in the article linked below.

    Also, you can find additional information and troubleshooting tips about deleting messages here:

  • There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting.  With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • HT201077 I am having trouble deleting individual photos from my iPad on shared photo streaming.

    I am having trouble deleting individual photos on Shared Photo Streaming on my iPad 2. There is not a trash can or delete option. If I choose edit on the first page, and I try to delete, the next step is to cancel photo sharing, which I don't want to do.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Youre trying to delete photos from someone else's shared photostream. You can only delete photos that belong to you.

  • I am having trouble deleting photos from iPad that we're imported from PC  how do I do this to free space on ipad

    I am having trouble deleting photos from iPad that we're ported from PC. Already deleted from PC but still showing up on iPad following sync

    Tap and hold your finger on the X
    You should get a message in some cases that it will delete your stored app data - say OK if you want to proceed
    The wiggle mode should stop with a press of the home button - not a hard reset
    Reset your phone and see if the behavior changes - there is no data loss - Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • I'm having trouble deleting mail. When I select all and delete it doesn't always work. Is there a glitch in this app?

    I'm having trouble deleting mail.  When I select all and delete it doen't always work.  Is there a glitch inthis app?

    Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
    If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.

  • I am having trouble deleting Rimalbumartdaemo - causing mac to run slow

    I am having trouble deleting rimalbumartdaemo - which is causing Mac to run slow

    Here are a couple of things:
    Frame 0: the pane properties are saved with the file, so once they are set you never need to set them again. Delete the property node and associated constants.
    Frame 1:
    Shouldn't "Serial#" be a control (and an integer)? You do a complex song and dance to add leading zeroes. Simply format your serial number with format "%04d"
    Shouldn't "Operator" be a control?
    Frame 2: That loop needs a small wait statement. Since STOP is always true when the loop ends, the later case structure seems unneeded.
    Frame 3:
    the STOP function seems unneeded. the VI will stop anyway since there is no code left.
    never use default tunnels for references.
    All your error outputs are "disconnected" and write to the same indicator. Mist likely you'll loose intermediary errors.
    Overall, you should use a state machine architecture instead of sequences. It will be much more flexible and will take even less diagram space. The indicators can be outside the state case, so all states can write to them. No locals needed.

  • I have 81,934 items in my trash. Having trouble deleting it. Is it using valuable space?

    I have 81,934 items in my trash. Having trouble deleting it. Is it using valuable space?

    At first I didn't realize how long it would take to delete 81k items, so when I first tried months ago I had assumed it didn't work-because it didn't seem to be moving.  The setting was set to "secure delete".   I left the trash to delete securely for 12 hours and it is finally empty.  Embarrassing :-(  THANKS!!
