    How do I delete a PNG file I transferred from my phone?


    I took a picture on my phone and transferred it to my laptop running latest version of Windows 10. I can open the file but I can't delete it, nor can I change its name. I have tried right-click + delete, deleting in Safe Mode and other solutions offered online. Here I am at the source hoping Microsoft has the answer.

    No file transfer window when transferring files on android phones.


    Device: One plus 2, Nexus 5, 7, and others not showing file transfer window when transferring files

    OS: Windows 10

    Brand: RazerModel: Razer

    Blade 2016 (GTX 1060 edition)

    Does this occur with other devices on this machine? : Yes

    Does this happen on other laptops? : No

    Does this occur when using different cables? : Yes

    Does this occur on both modes MTP and PTP? : Yes

    What happened when the device is unplugged While attempting to transfer a file?:

    An error occurs as if the file were transferring in the background unseen but, it isn't.
    It's been checked under task manager.
    Steps Taken:Deleted any and all drivers dealing with Android through Device Manager -> show hidden devices -> uninstalled drivers.

    Used different usb type "c" cables.

    Uninstalled and reinstalled one plus drivers,

    Uninstalled drivers for mtp and reinstalled

    Updated all drivers per laptop website

    Ran sfc/scannow tools, no issues found

    Ran disk clean up, cleared all and any temp file (ex: cache, cookies, java cache)

    This issue has been found to be windows itself and not the device(s).

    Please feel free to throw me suggestions after reading through what was done! *Biggrin

    can't transfer files between laptop and phone over BT

    To transfer files from the phone to the laptop you must first set up the laptop so it is waiting to receive files. In Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices:


    1. Turn on Bluetooth
    2. Click on 'Send or receive files via Bluetooth'
    3. Click 'Receive files'

    When you send a file to the laptop it then ask you to choose where to save it.

    Cable to transfer files

    OMG. I have never met anyone who actually bought one of those file transfer things.



    Firewire will do the same as USB, but faster, so will a cheap crossover cable. I can wlak you through the steps of moving data so you will not miss a beat.




    Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.
