Deleting files how do you delete files from jump drive

Hi Anonymous - To increase space for storage you will need to either add another drive(maybe a jump drive or a similar one like you have my be found on Ebay?) to your machine or delete some files from the drive that only has 7mb left on it. You can delete some files by going to My Computer and selecting the Details view for that window. This will show you the size of your biggest files(might be pictures, music or unneeded programs) that could be deleted. Take a look at them and see if they are ones you would like to delete. The bigger the better. Right click and select delete while holding the Shift button. Be sure to empty your Recycle Bin and also your Temp files. You can type %Temp% in the Start search bar. Go to Edit/Select all and then File/Delete(holding Shift button down again) and that should clean out some. Just select skip if any come up with an option while deleting. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Yes, it is technically possible to recover any deleted file (Even those removed from the Recycle Bin) by using file recovery software.
Check out the data recovery software called asoftech data recovery from link blow.

Good luck!

You can often successfully recover deleted files from a PC, phone or camera memory card or USB Memory stick, it just depends on what's happened since the files were deleted.
When you delete files the data itself isn't deleted, just the index entry that says where the data for those files is located. The space containing the deleted files is also now marked as free space so it is available to the system for any new files to be written there instead.

If and when that happens, then it becomes too late to recover your deleted files so it is very, very important to not save any new files or data to the device concerned.
If the deleted files are on a memory card or USB memory stick, just don't save any new files to it.

One of the easiest ways to see if you can recover deleted files is to try some file recovery software. Recommended asoftech data recovery as it saved my life many times.

Are you sure they're not deleted? Try this procedure:
1) Connect the flash drive to the Mac's USB port.
2) Open the flash drive folder.
3) Delete any files you want.
4) Empty the wastebasket.
5) If the wastebasket is already empty (i.e. the files you deleted from the flash drive aren't in it), try to find the deleted files in the Finder and delete them manually.
6) Eject the flash drive - don't just pull it out of the USB port.
7) Put it back in, to check the deleted files really are deleted.
8) Sometimes a flash drive will create a hidden folder of deleted files, so it looks as if the files are missing, but they're still taking up space on the drive. If you find this is the case, use the Finder to track down the deleted files and delete them manually.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Empty your "Recycle Bin", to permanently detect some "hidden" files on the JumpDrive.

If necessary, try a "quick-Format" to reformat the drive, deleting all "hidden" files.

Examples
Notice: Users who are running Microsoft Windows 95 and are used to deleted items going to the recycle bin need to keep in mind that deleting files from MS-DOS does not send files to the recycle bin. del test.tmp = Deletes the test.tmp in the directory that you currently are in, if the file exists.
del c:windows est.tmp = Delete the c:windows est.tmp in the windows directory if it exists.
del c:windows emp*.* = (* is for wild character(s)) *.* indicates that you would like to delete all files in the c:windows emp directory.
del c:windows emp?est.tmp = (? is a single wild character for one letter) This command would delete any file ending with est.tmp such as pest.tmp or zest.tmp...

You may also configure your outlook express to auto delete Emails by creating a rule for them.
