Windows 10: File without extension that can't get deleted (tried all recommended solutions)

/u/PinkSinsila · Jan 25, 2021

The file appeared after I had a program crash in the middle of saving a file(.sai2), I have a "twin" file that actually works as expected

The file is 0 bytes, has no extension, is virus-free, can't be moved, can't be renamed, no program can open it, Windows tells me that the file "isn't located anymore" in the folder it is in

I've tried different CMD commands(as Administrator), I've tried renaming the file, I've tried renaming the file with ReNamer, I tried moving the file somewhere where it won't bother me, I even deleted the twin file that works and still nothing

I've been dealing with this since 2019, I at least want an explanation of why this file refuses to leave

File extension *.docx

Hi Randy,

To change the file extension when saving a document in Word 2013, you may follow the steps below:

Click on File; then, select Options from the list.

In the Word Options window, choose Save.

Under Save files in this format, select *.doc from the list.

Hit OK button to confirm and save the changes.

If ever your Word 2013 application is not recognizing the changes you have made, you may restart the application; however, if the issue still persists, we suggest that you repair it. To do this, see this
link.

We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.

Windows 10 .bak file extensions not showing

Trying to repair a broken Windows Update Agent I hit a wall because I need to delete two files with a ". bak" extension. I cannot find these files as Windows 10 does not show this and many other file extensions. Unchecking the "Hide file extensions" box
does not help. I do not need to open these files, which btw are not even listed in "associate a file type", only delete them. My computer has not been able to install updates for months, and I am getting extremely concerned. Day after day after day I keep
getting failed updates.

Hi Tom,

The .bak file is a file extension of the backup files. To delete the unwanted backup files, please follow the steps below:

Press Windows key. Type backup, then select
Backup and Restore (Windows 7).

Under Back up or restore your files, click Manage space.

Under Manage Windows Backup disk space, you will see the
Backup location.

Under Data file backup, click View backups.

Under Select a back period to delete, choose the backups you want to delete.

Note: You have an option to delete the earlier system image to save a disk space. To do so, check the following steps:

Go back to the Manage Windows Backup disk space window.

Under System image, click Change settings.

Under Select how Windows retains older system images, choose from the 2 options.

Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.

Mozilla Firefox Recommended Extensions program coming soon

In February, we blogged about the challenge of helping extension users maintain their safety and security while preserving their ability to choose their browsing experience. The blog post outlined changes to the ecosystem to better protect users, such as making them more aware of the risks associated with extensions, reducing the visibility of extensions that haven’t been vetted, and putting more emphasis on curated extensions.

One of the ways we’re helping users discover vetted extensions will be through the Recommended Extensions program, which we’ll roll out in phases later this summer. This program will foster a curated list of extensions that meet our highest standards of security, utility, and user experience. Recommended extensions will receive enhanced visibility across Mozilla websites and products, including addons.mozilla.org (AMO).

We anticipate the eventual formation of this list to number in the hundreds, but we’ll start smaller and build the program carefully. We’re currently in the process of identifying candidates and will begin reaching out to selected developers later this month. You can expect to see changes on AMO by the end of June.

How will Recommended extensions be promoted?

On AMO, Recommended extensions will be visually identifiable by distinct badging. Furthermore, AMO search results and filtering will be weighted higher toward Recommended extensions
Recommended extensions will also supply the personalized recommendations on the “Get Add-ons” page in the Firefox Add-ons Manager (about:addons), as well as any extensions we may include in Firefox’s Contextual Feature Recommender.

How are extensions selected to be part of the program?

Editorial staff will select the initial batch of extensions for the Recommended list. In time, we’ll provide ways for people to nominate extensions for inclusion.

When evaluating extensions, curators are primarily concerned with the following:

Is the extension really good at what it does? All Recommended extensions should not only do what they promise, but be very good at it. For instance, there are many ad blockers out there, but not all ad blockers are equally effective.

Does the extension offer an exceptional user experience? Recommended extensions should be delightful to use. Curators look for content that’s intuitive to manage and well-designed. Common areas of concern include the post-install experience (i.e. once the user installs the extension, is it clear how to use it?), settings management, user interface copy, etc.

Is the extension relevant to a general audience? The tightly curated nature of Recommended extensions means we will be selective, and will only recommend extensions that are appealing to a general Firefox audience.

Is the extension safe? We’re committed to helping protect users against third-party software that may—intentionally or otherwise—compromise user security. Before an extension receives Recommended status, it undergoes a security review by staff reviewers. (Once on the list, each new version of a Recommended extension must also pass a full review.)

Participation in the program will require commitment from developers in the form of active development and a willingness to make improvements.

How will the list be maintained?

It’s our intent to develop a Recommended list that can remain relevant over time, which is to say we don’t anticipate frequent turnover in the program. The objective is to promote Recommended extensions that users can trust to be useful and safe for the lifespan of the software they install.

We recognize the need to keep the list current, and will make room for new, emerging extensions. Firefox users want the latest, greatest extensions. Talented developers all over the world continue to find creative ways to leverage the powerful capabilities of extensions and deliver fantastic new features and experiences. Once the program launches later this summer, we’ll provide ways for people to suggest extensions for inclusion in the program.

Will the community be involved?

We believe it’s important to maintain community involvement in the curatorial process. The Community Advisory Board—which for years has contributed to helping identify featured content—will continue to be involved in the Recommended extensions program.

We’ll have more details to share in the coming months as the Recommended extensions program develops. Please feel free to post questions or comments on the add-ons Discourse page.
