Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted.

Restoring deleted files from recycle bin

Hi
I just stupidly cleared my recycle bin was wondering if there is any way of restoring them
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The only way I know of is to use a third party tool to restore them. I would suggest going to the following website and trying the Restoration Tool.

Problems emptying RAW files from Recycle Bin

Hi
I am not sure, but think my problem is connected with Lightroom 1.4.1
When I delete RAW files from disc via Lightroom, they go into the Recycle Bin. However, I am unable to delete them from the bin without using an unlocker program. This is because when I choose to delete individual RAW files from the bin (or choose completely empty bin)I get a message saying that file Dq(number) cannot be deleted as it may be in use by another program. But no other program is open.
I think this only applies to RAW files (Canon CR2) where I have created an editable file in Photoshop CS3. I am fed up with the tedious task of removing each individual Dq/CR2 file from the Recycle bin (the unlocker program will not let me batch delete) and suspect a workaround involving removing the CR2 files from the Lightroom catalogue and then deleting them from their source folder might work.
However, this semms a clumsy way of having to do thistask.
Has anyone else come across this please and does anyone have an elegant solution? Oh, the files concerned are all on an external hard disc, but I cannot see why this should affect things.

Hi, Andrew. I do not have an external HD, so I am not sure if this is related. LR 1.4's seems to do some odd things with files that it sees as Read Only, such as from a CD, DVD, or external drive. Maybe it has something to do with this. Also, can you exit LR, then dumb Recycle Bin normally?

Items dissapear from Recycle Bin

Hi, currently I'm facing a problem in my farm, I've detected that items which are sent to first stage Recycle bin dissapears from Recycle bin and farm at some time. These items are not being stored the number of days that has
been configured in CA (30 days by default). I have checked the configuration of the farm and I see that all is correct, also I checked the size of the Recycle Bin in order to revise if these could be the problem, but no lucky.
I checked the timer job, but this it was configured in order to clean the files on Sudany, and I detected that files that wew in Recycle Bin were deleted on Friday.
Anyone has any clue about this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that that Items disappeared from Recycle Bin.
If a deleted document does not fit in the second stage recycle bin, it skips that stage and SharePoint automatically deletes it. It happens if the size of the document is bigger than the specified second stage recycle bin storage space size.
If you try to find an item in the recycle bin and fail to locate it then you need to verify the following :
The contents in the      recycle bin are driven by the access control. The user who has deleted the      content will be able to see the content in the recycle bin. Other users
will not be able to see the items in the recycle bin.
If you have deleted a      top level item like a folder or a list, and try to find a document available      at an inner location, then the item will not be viewable. By default the
Recycle bin shows the top level content and does not have the capability      to show the items in a tree structure or drill down mode.
The contents in the      recycle bin contains only the items within the site. A deleted site is      outside the scope of the Recycle bin and is not available for deletion.
The recycle bin contains      the items for a predefined period which can be set from the Web      Application –> General Settings. if the thresh hold is crossed, the      item
is deleted permanently.
In addition, Recycle Bin cannot remove items automatically, someone should have deleted them.
You can create an Event Receiver to response only when an item is being deleted or an item has been deleted, and then log the user who delete the post and the time he delete the post. Please refer to

How to cancel one file from recycle bin ...

Hi all,
most probably I'm making a very stupid question but how I can remove just selected files from recycle bin ?
For removing I mean DELETED the files and not returning them into their original position.
Thanks in advance for your help here
Ciao
Giancarlo

You can also use the Terminal to delete the file using the rm command. Type rm and a space and then drag the file to the Terminal window. Hit return.
If you want a GUI solution, use Automator to create a Service. Set Service receives selected Files and Folders in Finder.
Drag in a Run Shell Script action from the Utilities library. Set it to pass input as arguments. Set the code to for f in "$@"
do
rm "$f"
doneSave the service with a useful name. Then, you can right-click on the items in the trash and select your service from the Services submenu. It will delete the files. There is no safety net. If you want it to confirm the deletion in case you accidentally pick that item from Services menu, then add an Ask for Confirmation action before the Run Shell Script. Type a message in the first line and a description of what the buttons do. You can even make it look like Windows by just having a yes and no button. Or, you can change the name of the Ok button to Delete so you don't need a description of what the buttons do.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

Hello,
We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
file.
I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

Hello Bria,
What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items:
User
Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to specified drives in My
Computer
There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

Unable to delete file from the file repository. Make sure a File Repository Server is running and registered and enabled. Details : Failed to connect to the File Repository Server output. Make sure the server is up and running.
We have verified the FRS is running and we are able to connect to it from our clustered server (Winchester2). The security settings are set to full control for the admin group and the users have Read/Write access to the file store folders. The errors are filling up our event logs and causing issues with the servers. this appears to be happening each morning and the file it is trying to delete is an .xls file.
We have a ticket open with SAP Support but they are just as baffled as we are and keep sending us from one group to another and tell us they need to look at it on thier end and they will get back to us.
Has anyone had this happen on their system?

Hi Richard, did you ever get this issue resolved? We are having a similar issue on XI R3 SP4 using NAS/CIFS shares for our File Stores. We see this issue mainly after our servers are patched and a full environment restart is initiated. Like you, our event logs fill up with so many error messages I cannot pinpoint exactly when the issue starts happening.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Unable to delete files from powerpoint

I just installed MS office for iPad. I am experiencing an annoying problem with Powerpoint. When I download and open a file from OneDrive, oftentimes I am subsequently unable to delete it from within the iPad powerpoint program. I get a message that the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I am able to delete the file from OneDrive on my computer no problem, but it remains on the iPad. Clearing the file cache from settings does not do the trick. I have to uninstall and reinstall powerpoint to get rid of the undeletable files. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

Unable to delete emails from care4free using thunderbird

I have just bought an imac and have transfered my thunderbird account from my old pc. I am unable to delete messages from my care4free POP account. Anyone help with this please?

Problems associated with deleting or moving email usually stem from failure to compact mail
folders, especially inboxes. This is because deleted email is not removed from the
application until you compact (expunge is the technical term). This can be done
automatically by a setting in your email account. Manually is simple enough. On any mail
folder do this: right click/compact (or File/Compact Folders). This is especially important
on inboxes but also, any folder from which you regularly delete/move email.
If you are experiencing problems you probably have a lot of uncompacted mail so be patient
the first time and watch the activity bar for its status (at the bottom of the application).

Unable to delete photo from ipad

When I first got my ipad, I synced s photo from My Pictures. I am unable to delete it from the ipad by using the delete option. How do I get it off my ipad?

Go to the folder on your computer that those synced photos are in. Move those photos elsewhere then sync and the photos will go away.
Alternatively you can connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Click on the name of your device and navigate to the photos tab. Choose a different folder or deselect any folder then sync. Your device will replace the photos on your device with what's in that other folder, or simply remove them all together if you deselect all photos syncing.
Given the difficulty of removing synced photos, I stopped syncing photos a long time ago. Instead if I want photos on my iPad I'll just mail them to myself...or you can use any number of photos apps that have the ability to sync/share data, or upload them to something like dropbox and then download them onto your device. Downloaded or saved photos can be deleted from inside the photos app.
