Unable to delete undo file at OS level

Hi Friends,
Database: 10.2.0.3
OS: windows 2003 server
I dropped undo tablespace using
drop tablespace undotbs1 including contents and datafiles; command.
but still the files are residing in the drive. when i tried to delete them manually its saying the file is used by another process.
is there anyway to delete the file without bouncing the database?

Before Dropping an Undo Tablespace U need to switch to an another Undo tablespace
like
SQL> create undo tablespace undotbs2 datafile ‘/u01/oradata/decipher/undotbs2_01.dbf’ size 1024m autoextend on next 256m maxsize 10240m;
SQL> alter system set undo_tablespace= UNDOTBS2 scope=both;
SQL> drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents and datafiles;
Dropping the old undo tablespace may give ORA-30013 error: undo tablespace ‘%s’ is currently in use. This error indicates that you need to wait for the undo tablespace to become OFFLINE. Initially, on switching to the new UNDO tablespace, the old UNDO tablespace will go into PENDING OFFLINE status until the active incomplete transactions are finished.
Iam sure ur Datafile will be get dropped ..

}I am unable to delete the file from the temporary location
some times it is deleting and some times it is not deleting.. I have also tried ...deleteOnExit();

Make sure you've got no other processes holding onto it (Windows Explorer, for instance) and that you've closed any streams involved with the file. If that fails, try calling System.gc() just before deleting the file. This is a workaround for a bug in certain JVMs on Windows machines

Unable to delete a file

I'm unable to delete a a file from the filesystem.
String fileName = "dummy.xml"
boolean delete = (new File(fileName)).delete();It's not deleting this file from the filesystem.

Can anything else delete that file? Is the fileopen?
I don't know what you mean by can anything else
delete the file.I mean can you delete the file from the command line, a window, whatever. Is it just Java's delete that is having this problem or is it the file system?
No this is not opened/or use.How do you know?
DO I have to specify a path for this. Certainly. How else would Java know which file to delete?
If yes, please read on ........
the path where this xml file resides could by
anywhere in the file system. If it is how do I access
it since there is no specific location (it is left to
the user's choise to save the file anywhere he
wants)Keep the user's choice.

Unable to delete Acrobat files from PC

This is a new problem. The Acrobat files cannot be deleted from the Acrobat program, my documents or my downloads files. A popup keeps telling me the files are 'in use' even though no other programs are open. And yes, I've rebooted several times and logged in and out of Adobe CC a few times just to make sure.
How do I get rid of the *(&&^% files?

Are these on a network and somehow accessed by other people?
Are you on a Windows PC and have adminstrator privileges? Because you just might be unable to delete those because the rights have been set somehow. Check the file properties if you have sufficient rights on those files.
Are there PDF related background tasks and services running which might lock the files?

Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing

Hi All
Please find the details below:
1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
Issue Details_
1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:
[*2011-01-12T16:55:48.639+05:30] [soa_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.soa.adapter] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@19c243d]*

File : C:\Dibya\AttachmentTest\InputDir\TestFile3.txt could not be deleted.
Delete the file and restart server. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
If any one has faced similar issues, kindly provide pointers on how to resolve it.
Regards,
Dibya

Hi,
Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
Keep the following property in your .jca file
<property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Unable to delete a file from the downloads list of...

i am an e7 user. I was recently downloading a couple of videos at the same time when my phone hanged and had to be restarted. When it did restart, most of the files had to be redownloaded. All except one. The downloads list claims that the file has been saved. The video plays bt isnt completely downloaded.
The problem now is that i cant delete the video through the file manager. The error msg says web:already in use.. When i tried deleting the file from the downloads list of the web browser, there was a similar msg.
So how do i remove this file from my phone??
I tried downloading a couple of file managing softwares bt that didnt really help....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Retry after clearing the Browser Cache.. If that does not solve.. Reboot the phone and try again...

Unable to delete some files

I have some audio files that appear only in smart lists and not in the library. You can't delete a file from a smart list view (correct me if I'm wrong) so you have to find it in the library to delete it.
It doesn't appear in the library - so I cannot delete these files.
I'm not sure how this happened but I have a theory. These all appear to be podcasts. Some are from audible but not all are. I think I may have deleted, or unsubscribed from the podcast in the podcast view but I didn't remove the files first. So it looks like the files are still around but since they are podcasts they don't appear in the library, and since the I'm not subscribed to the podcast they aren't in the podcast list either.
Is there a way to get rid of these files? I thought of resubscribing to the podcasts but a lot of these I don't even remember what the podcast was.

Unable to delete the files from CSV volumes on HyperV Cluster

Hello There,
I have a HyperV failover cluster with CSV Volumes recently i moved some of the VMs to another cluster.
VMs are moved but i still have the VM files on the CSV volumes which are occupying the disk space i tried to delete the VHD files / VM folders which are moved but it doesn't delete the files, please suggest.
This file when i browse it from a server and delete the file it disappears but when i revisit the folder i find the files still on the disk, i did try to delete the files directly
from the server through command line as it is running server core.

HyperV is good about not allowing you to delete files while they are still in use. You can try to reboot host, make sure all parts if your VM moved to the new location. If that VHD is associated with a VM on any host you will not be able to delete
it. Delete the VM's that may have links to it. Not knowing you configuration could it be a parent disk? Be carful because if you can't delete it it's likely in use, I've see VHD merge after you delete a VM too preventing you from deleting the files.
You may just want to wait a day or so and see if it free's up. If it is doing a merge reboot will pause and restart it so you won't be able to remove until the merge is done, once you delete a VM and a merge starts there is no way to tell if it's merging,
watch the size and timestamp of the VHD is it changing if it is something is using it.

Unable to delete data files from my Ipod if used as data storage...

Hello everybody
I bought months ago an Ipod Nano 8GB. I've got an issue when i use it as disk storage i'm not able to sort out. I've checked all the topics but i cannot find any solution.
Example: I use the Ipod with the option "Manually manage music and videos". I put audio and video files on my Ipod through Itunes, then i put also some files on my Ipod as normal data files through my Mac Finder (Easy, i drag VLC, JPG files etc. from folders to my Ipod). The Ipod/Itunes summary page shows (Correctly) the capacity column colored in blue (Audio), video (Purple) and orange (Data). No probs when i transfer data files to another computer.
Problem: when i delete the data files from my Ipod (Through finder) the orange column doesn't disappear (I have no problems if i delete audio/video files via Itunes) and although i've actually deleted all the files if i try to add some other data or videos/music files to my Ipod, Itunes says that there is no space available in my device. It's very strange, i check and double check all the options but eventually i have to restore my Ipod all the times and (Pretty annoying) add all my files again.
It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
It'd be great if someone can help me out as it's very important for me to be able to use my Ipod as disk storage, thanks a lot!

It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
Empty it from the Finder menu or by control-clicking it in the Dock.

Can't delete hidden file from top level

Screen grab of what's happening:
I used to have it as a startup item until it wouldn't login correctly after a reboot (no login, guest login)
I then deleted it from my startup items but it still shows up every reboot. I can't delete it, I can't eject it (but I can connect to the real drive from the connect to server option)
It's an annoyance, I can't seem to get it out of my system unless I make a new account and I don't want to do that.
Does anyone know how to remove it?

Run all of the free OnyX cleaning and maintenance aspects and reboot
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Next use the Verify > Preferences and mark down all the corrupted plist files, find them and move them to your desktop and reboot, they will rebuild automatically and you'll have to set the preferences for those programs again. (trash the desktop versions if there are no further complications)
That hopefully should do the trick, I think it's just a glitch and once OnyX cleans out the caches, ds store files etc., that file should disappear as everything is rebuilt.
Also it appears your having some other issues, look at those question marks.
Backup your files to a external drive via manual drag and drop methods, hold c and boot off the installer disk that comes with the comptuer and reinstall OS X on top of the installed one and reboot, hopefully that will clear things up.
Turn off Root user, it's dangerous to be running that all the time.

Unable to delete some files or empty them from Trash

Hi, I receive the following message when trying to empty files from the Trash:
"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "lg550-1.gif" could not be read or written.
(error code -36)"
There are hundreds of these .gif files in an images folder which I would like to delete by emptying the trash. Finder is asking whether I would like to continue or stop emptying the trash...I'm wondering if there is a way to eliminate this images folder manually from the command line?
(I just don't have the time to constantly click upon "continue" and I think these files will still be in the Trash in any case, with the basic problem unsolved so long as they are not permanently deleted.)
Thanks

I am unable to delete the files

Hi all,
I am totally new with this iPad stuff, so I hope that someone could help me a bit. I bought the software which is called BUZZ Player (plays videos and subtitles). So, I installed the software and upload a few videos (avi's) and subtitle's (.idx and .sub) via iTunes. Then I start the player and everything worked perfectly except I did not see any subtitles.
Then I decided to remove those files and upload something else. Well, I manage to delete those avi's, but not the subtitles, because BUZZ player does not show them. When I look at the iTunes (My pad -> Apps -> File Sharing -> BUZZ player) those subtitle files are still there, but there's no way to delete them but only upload more stuff.
So, my question is that is there any way to get rid off those files?
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that iPad search can not find them either.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there eizi, and welcome to apple discussions.
Just click on one of the files in itunes, and press backspace, or delete on your keyboard. You will receive a warning, and then you can delete.
I don't see why apple do not put a delete button on there!
Hope this helps.
