What & How Can I Delete From My L515

I have the Satellite L515-S4925 Laptop. I'm strictly using this laptop for DJing. So, there are a lot of pre-loaded programs that I will never use. I want to delete some of these programs, but past experiences have taught me that deleting some programs will effect other programs, or cause the computer to not work properly. I thought of asking tech support, but I thought I ask here first. Which programs can I delete safely? And, can I delete them just using the Add/Uninstall Program through the Control Panel?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You would be surprised how many people literally delete programs instead of uninstalling them. I have adopted the policy on forums to take a person at their word. If they say they deleted a program I procede under that impression. I figure anyone smart enough to uninstall a program should be intelligent enough to say that is what they did rather than say they deleted it. I gave up trying to second guess or read anything into posts.
The complete specs for your system can be found on the UK Support Site here. The list of what programs are installed are about 2/3's of the way down.
And yes, I said that one should NOT uninstall the Toshiba programs as it tends to cause problems doing so. The only Toshiba labeled programs that can safely be uninstalled are the Toshiba DVD Player as long as you install a different DVD player program or you don't intend to watch DVDs, the Toshiba Disk Creator if you install a different burner program or don't intend to burn any DVDs or CDs, and the Toshiba Service Station which doesn't tend to work correctly anyway.
The rest of the Toshiba programs are UTILITIES rather than applications and tend to cause problems when they are uninstalled. If one does a clean install of Windows from an actual Windows Install Disk (rather than using the recovery process to restore the system) they normally don't have a problem if they don't install all of them, but once they have been installed it's normally better to leave them installed.
Personally I like my system running properly. I don't obsess over trivial system processes running in the background and use inconsequential amounts of ram or disk space. I've found over the years (and I'm talking as someone whose computer usage goes back to the mid 1970's) that it's better to have a system run stable and allow me to get things done. I don't want to spend all of my time tweaking it and then fighting it when it acts up.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

What files can I delete from the hidden "Library" folder which is in my account folder?

I'm running out of space on Macintosh HD so I started moving things to my other computer (desktop so more storage). There should only be about 165 GB used out of 750 GB capacity however there is 459 GB used. So, I thought, where's all the space gone? Through using Finder's "Get Info" feature I tracked the 459 GB to Macintosh HD/Users/jacobhouse but in jacobhouse (my account's folder) I've stripped everything to a bare minimum. Amounts of storage used is as follows:
jacobhouse: 409.6 GB (other 50ish thats being used is applications)
Desktop: 142 KB
Documents: 500.1 MB
Downloads: 1.55 GB
Movies: 14.96 GB
Music: 19.02 GB
Pictures: 75.67 GB
Public: 44.4 MB
This adds up to approximately 111 GB if I'm correct in converting KB/MB to GB. Still I haven't managed to find the culprit until I tried showing hidden folders. When I told Finder to show all hidden folders and I sorted them by size, I found one named Library which was 409.6 GB.
As you can see by the Where in the screenshot above, this Library folder is not the one directly in Macintosh HD but rather it is in a User folder. My question now is which of the files in this Library folder am I able to delete to free up space? (contents of Library are below)
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

How can I delete from memory?

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5. Many months ago, I made a typo on my friend's email address when i entered it in my Contacts. (I mistyped .com as .comi.) This became apparent to me only after my first email to him came back undeliverable. I corrected the entry in my Contacts. Now, when I include him in a new group email or when I start a new single email to just him, when I type the first few letters of his name in the address line, the iPhone suggests first the old mistyped email address and then his corrected Contacts entry. Is there a way to delete the memory of that typo error? Thank you for your help.

You'll have to restore the iPhone and set it up as a new device to get rid of that cached data.
You can leave feedback for Apple here, maybe a erase cached data feature will be added to the next update -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

My trash in iPhoto has no thumbnails in it, however, it says it has over 31k photos. I had over 67K, but "put back" what thumbnails I could see in order to move them over in smaller groups to delete. How can I delete what isn't there?

My trash in iPhoto has no thumbnails in it, however, it says I have over 31K photos in it. I have already "put back" over 35K photos to Events. How can I delete from iPhoto photos that are not in a thumbnail? Also, I have been deleting these for over a year assuming that they were being deleted when I put them in the trash. I didn't realize that there was an iPhoto trash along with my computer trash. I can't put the other Events into the trash until I erase what's in there. Thank you for any help you can give me.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How can i delete messages on iMessage and have them STAY GONE?

How can I delete messages from my iPhone and have them STAY GONE and not have them show up on my computer or iPad? Same thing, how can I delete from any of these and have them NOT show up on the other devices? If I delete on one, it stays on the other. It's a constant circle of deleting messages? I want them gone when deleted. Maverick. iPad4th iPhone 5
Thanks.

Hi,
First off.
The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on all Devices" and nothing more.
Deleting it on one device will not delete it on another.
On the Mac the iMessages are stored in ~/Library/Messages in file called chat.db with a couple of supporting database items alongside.
If you "close" or remove the chat in the list in the Messages window (the x when you mouse over the name and pic) then the iMessage will "return" as an "Aid Memoire" to the previous conversation.
This is local on your Mac and is nothing to do with any 'sync' over the iMessages servers.
The longest time I have experienced was using my iPhone on a hotel WiFi on a Friday evening away form home and picking up those same iMessage on Sunday evening when I turned my Mac on.
The iMessages servers "push" the iMessages to the devices it thinks are Registered.
However this only happens once. When the device has the iMessages the servers stop sending it.
This is to stop what you seem to describe - the endless attempt to delete the same iMessages.
It is more likely you are talking about the "history" feature.

You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it. If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device. Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

What is the "Other" category under storage and how can i delete items from this?

My disc is almost full. "About this Mac" says that I have 47 GB of "Other." What is this Other and how can I delete items from this?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in 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 icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How can I delete a file from Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

What operating system do you use? Where do you store the files?

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

Did you ever figure out what happened?
I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
Thanks.

How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
Use -help for a list of options.
But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job). What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software. (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.) The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance. I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers. When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install. We did! But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

How can i delete some books from ibook?

How can i delete some books from ibook? It says: this book can't be opened. The book is corrupt. I can't open and I can't delete it

I was unable to delete a book sample from my iPhone 5s running iOS 7. This seems to be what worked for me. I went to the Library and clicked "edit" in upper right side of the screen. I then tapped one time on the book I wanted to remove and a blue check appeared at the bottom right corner of that book (presumably you could tap several at a time) Anyway, when the blue check is on the book, you will see in the upper left of the screen the word "Delete" (mine was in red) I clicked that and then a confirming dialog came up from the bottom of the screen with the choices of "delete" or "cancel". I chose "delete" and the book was gone. Hope this helps.

How can I delete the site (created in webDB) from database?

Hi I have the WebDB 2.2 and Database server Oracle8i and I created a lot of sites with WebDB but I do not know how can I delete them from database server. Could somebody help to me?

Log into sql plus as webdb
Drop user <site name>_admin cascade;
Drop user <site name>_public cascade;
Drop user <site name> cascade;
and drop any other users you have made specically for this site.
Remove the dad from the listener settings.
If you wish to use this site name again in the same database you also have to delete a record from a table in the Webdb schema.
I can't remeber what that is.....
Good Luck
Dave.

How can I delete photos from my phone

how can I delete photos from my i phone after synching w/ my macbook (i photo)?

If what you want to do is just delete a picture, just touch the trashcan while you're looking at the photo on your phone. On the other hand, if what you want to do is delete all the pictures from the phone after you transfer them to your computer, there is a checkbox on the screen when you transfer them into iPhoto asking whether to delete the selected pictures from the camera.

How can i delete my itunes account as i think im being hacked, almost every day itunes are taking accessive amounts of money from my account!

Dear Apple support, how can i delete my itunes account as i think im being hacked!! over the past few months a lot of money seems to be taken from my account ranging from as little as £1 to £60... i cant take any more. Can i delete the account? Can u help me plase as i dont know what to do! Regards Teresa

Go into your iTunes account and eliminate the payment method to none. Then change the password. FInally notify iTunes support of your problem. You will find ways to contact iTunes support on this website. Email works very well with iTunes support.
You do not want to delete your account and there is no need to do that to prevent further hacking. The reason is that any purchases of music, Apps, movies or whatever made with your iTunes account will be associated to that account and you can redownload them if you change iPhones, get an iPad or to your computer. If you were able to delete the account, which you cannot do, you would have to repurchase everything.
