What items do you delete from backup on time machine to make more space available

What items do you delete from back up on time machine to make more space?

There's no need to do that unless Time Machine has reported a Disk Full alert. In this case you can:
1. Delete older entries using the Time Machine application to free up sufficient space.
2. Get a new and larger Time Machine backup drive to replace the old one.
3. Erase the backup drive and start over.

Also delete your cookies and other web data, as it can build up and you don't really need that stuff.
Try going to to Go in the finder menu, Go to Folder, Type in ~/Library/ click Go and look around and see what you don't need and highlight and delete the junk.

PO item can be deleted issue

Hi experts,
Can you help me for any user exit to prevent the PO item from being deleted after Invoice have done.
I need it urgent.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks
Maia

Hi
Check following some of possibilities
1)Release streatergy : Maintain changiability such that no change will be possible after Po is released.( Usualy maintain it as 1)
2)Authorization : Limit authorization of ME22N also Restrict the delition indicator by authorization.
3)If U want to restrict line item deletion after GR done then add message no.06 115 as error and assign the same to users.Moreover this message comes as a standard setting and prevents from deleting the PO line if Gr is made .But this will not restrict if MIRO is done after GR.
4)check following user exit if helpful Use EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 - INCLUDE ZXM06U43

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.

What files can i delete?

i'm a new mac user, so forgive my poor mac vocabulary. I just bought a 12 inch powerbook. when i click the 'Macintosh HD' icon on the desktop, it opens up a window w/ a bunch of icons(i count 27 so far) and i'm pretty sure i don't need about half of them. does anyone know which ones would be okay to trash?

Glad it worked. The only files you can trash are the documents in "User Guide and info", even though you'd only gain a few MB. There might be a folder Applications/Installers/, which contains installation files for additional, trial software like FileMaker Pro. Feel free to delete those one as well.
Unless you know what you're doing, never ever touch the hidden files "cores, dev, etc, mach, mach.sym, mach_kernel, ...". It would be like taking the engine out of your car.
You'll be able to reclaim about 500MB by removing unnecessary localization files. By default, Mac OS X comes with 20+ different languages installed. It's cool to be able to switch everything to Korean within 5 seconds. If, however, you don't have any Asian friends, you might want to use Delocalizer .
Don't forget to mark your question as answered.

What items can I stop running and or uninstall so my Mac runs faster. It tends to max out the memory and then I do a reboot. This is my first Mac and upset that I can't install more memory, wish the sales person had told me that when I bought it.

I see nothing of significance in the report other than you are using Chrome. I would suggest you not use Chrome since it is a resource hog and can become buggy with Mavericks.

My hard drive is TOO FULL - what can I delete ?

My 60 gb. hardrive is now down to 9 gb. and I was wondering what I can safely delete off of here that I don't need. I know the obvious - photos, itunes music & podcasts, etc. But I'm wondering about aliases, etc. or anything else that just hangs around on our machines that we don't need.
Somebody suggested diff. languages since I only speak English so I took those all out of my applications. Now I see that I get a scrambled up window in Appleworks when I've saved a document as Claris 4.0 and it opens it in Appleworks but it still opens. I DON'T want to delete ANYTHING that's going to cause me problems down the line!! I've saved all the languages I've deleted. Any ideas what I may have taken out of appleworks that causes that problem????
Looking forward to hearing from someone !!

You've taken action at the right time, many leave it too late.
You can use Monolingual (link) to remove unwanted languages.
I wouldn't recommend deleting things manually unless you know exactly what that file is, although you can use WhatSize (link) to find large files. Items like alias are so small on disk it's a relatively pointless exercise to spend much time looking for them.
You should consider a larger external firewire hard drive to allow you to store more data. You'll also be able to create duplicates of your valuable data.

Just did an Archive and Reinstall - what can I delete??

Hey!! I just reinstalled to 10.4.8 after all my issues with 10.4.10. I now have the "previous system" folder and I am wondering what I can safely delete.
It looks like there are two copies of all the mac software, but all my software is on the current os. So can I just trash that whole previous system folder? Or do I have to keep anything out of it?
Incidentally, the dude at the apple store did it, and he said he used a different disk for the OS I have now and I should install the Front Row application from my own disk at home. That's totally cool with me but what do you all think of that? And/or could I just drag it from that previous systems folder? Thanks for your help!!
kathy

You may want to check for any items in the /Library/Applications Support/ folder for any specific folders you may want to transfer to the new installation. Otherwise, you can delete the PSF.

What can be deleted to make space

In system 10.4.11 what files can be deleted to make more space. For example can I delete the 0S9 system and OS9 Applications without any impact? I have already used the application to remove unwanted language supports. Any ideas most welcome.
Thank you

can I delete the 0S9 system and OS9 Applications without any impact?
Yes, you can - assuming you don't need Classic anymore, and have versions of those applications updated for Tiger.

What can I delete on my Macbook pro and how?

what prorams can I delete on my macbook pro and how? I heard could delete some preloaded programs on my macbook pro and I would like to know how? I know that I can move app from to the trash to uninstall them but what all preloaded apps can I delete. I tried to delete photo booth, sticky notes, address book and could not so what can I delete and how?

I wasn't aware that you couldn't delete those programs, what happens when you try? Is there some reason that you want to delete them? They don't take up hardly any hard drive space or RAM to use them and they are useful programs, I think. If you're trying to gain more hard drive space, that's not going to do it. If you don't want them in your dock, just drag them out to the desktop and they poof away.

I can't delete the .thumb.db file from a client computer

In my LAN I have a main computer, the server, that shares a folder. Other users of the LAN can access to the foler and copy, modify and delete files. However, many times when the user try to delete a folder get an error that says that the file thumb
can't be delete because the file explorer has opened the file. That's is not true.
The user has the needed permissions to delete the files, but for some reason he can't.
I know that one solution is to show icons instead of miniature in the file explorer, but it is not a solution in this case, because the user uses many photos and it's easier to see the miniatures instead of the icons.
How can I solve the problem and delete this file? Any easy and permanent solution? because this occurs in many folders and the user don't have a hugh knowledgement of windows.
Thank so much.

Hi,
We can disable the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files via Group policy to fix this issue:
1.Run gpedit.msc
2.Navigate to:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer
3.Set “Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files” to Enable.
4.You may need to log off or force group policy to update before this takes effect, I am not sure.
To force group policy to update, run gpupdate /force
Now you will need to clean the thumbs.db files that are already created. To do this we are gonna use the disk cleanup tool.
Press again Windows key + R to start run and write there cleanmgr then Enter。
This will start the Disk cleanup tool. Select the drive you want to clean , if you have more drives you gonna have to repeat this for each drive.
Disk cleanup tool will calculate for a bit what files can be deleted and then the following window will appear.
Make sure the Thumbnails is checked and press OK . That is it. Now you can delete those folders you want to go away.

Outlook 2010 Data files have reached maximum size and can't delete.

This is the message I get whenever I try to send/rec mail.. it is also the message that I get when I try to delete any messages, whether from inbox, sent items, or deleted... just seems locked up. This is not enterprise or Exchange server this is from my
wife's home office. I have been playing around with this for hours, and still get the same message and still dead in the water.. Please help! I am running windows 7home.
I was attaching the photo.. but won't take it until verified. "The Outlook data file C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst has reached the maximum size. To redude the amount of data in the file, permanently delete some items that
you no longer need. You could also consider using the new Outlook data file (.pst) introduced with Outlook 2003 that provides greater capacity for storing items and folders.
Thanks,
Cashmando07

Hi,
You can try compacting the data file:
Go to File tab -> Account Settings -> Account Settings
-> Data Files tab, double click on the data file -> Under
General tab, click on the Compact Now button ->
OK.
This will reduce the size of your Outlook data file. Then you can test if any items can be deleted from the .pst file.
More information about the size limit for both (.pst) and (.ost) files in Outlook, please refer to the kb below:
