OS X :: Large Unknown Files In Macbook Library - How To Delete All These Files
Nov 2, 2010I recently discovered, after running Disk Inventory X, some really fat files in my Library. I haven't touched them, as I read on another forum that it could be dangerous but is there anything I can do to get rid of them? I thought maybe they were left there after a recent Time Machine backup because I read that happening to someone else in another forum...
I've attached screenshots (I think) of the two biggest files.

MacBook Air :: Mac Doesn't Work Properly After Cleaned Up By OnyX
Jun 1, 2014After I executed automation and default clean up function with Onyx. After reboot Finder doesn't open anymore on the menu bar there are only three options: finder, files, help. I have to click on the finder menu and choose run full finder to get it back to work.
Launchpad simply doesn't show anything anymore
spotlight just disappeared...

MacBook Pro :: Delete Files That Say You Can't Erase Them?
May 14, 2012I'm trying to delete several files (one, an application; the other, an Excel file) but whenever I move them to the trash, I get an error message. The Application (Skype) error says I have to unlock the file, but after I unlock it (using File->Get Info) and I type in the administrator password, it gets me back to the beginning and I have to do the whole thing over and over again.
When I try to delete Excel file, i get a dialogue box that says "The operation can't be completed because the item NY alumni list.xls is in use." But the file is only being used by me; even after I make a small change and resave it and then try to delete it, i get the same error message repeatedly.

Aug 24, 2014I have tried two apps that detect and delete duplicate files. Both will find duplicate files of all types, and then fail to delete them.

Support the Duplicate Detective app reviewed my console logs and said that my computer from removing files in Users/"my name"/folder.
I tried repairing disk permissions through the disk utility and that didn't work.

MacBook Pro :: Delete Secure Files From Trash?
Feb 17, 2012I want to delete backup files that are more than a year old from my time machine. I moved them to trash and although it then asks if I want to remove secure items and I check yes, it then stops. As a result I can't securely delete any new files either since each time the same thing happens if I add a new file, none of it deletes.
