    Unable to delete Sharepoint files from an old drive


    I recently installed a new SSD in my computer and am keeping myold drive as seconday storage. I do not want to format the old drive as it has a large amount of files that I want to keep.


    I have a problem with some sharepoint files that I am unable to delete. I am not the owner of the files as they were shared with me and were synced to my old drive. I now have the files sync'd to my new drive and would like to delete them from the old drive.


    When I try to delete through Windows I get the message "You require permission from S-1-5-21-918759735-4191655838-884660155-1002 to make changes to this folder"


    I am also unable to delete via CMDadmin or PowerShelladmin.


    How can I delete these files without formatting the drive?

    :)

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    Unable to delete Sharepoint files from an old drive

    Only write one number to log file and delete old ones?

    Hey,

    I'm trying to have some software read from a .text file a number (GPU Temp) but the software will only the first number in a list (Or the first anything)

    Is there a way to have to log file delete the previous entries and write the new number in it's place without any headers?


    EDIT:

    Sorry I'll try again.

    I have some webcam software that can read a number (or whatever) from a text file and then it displays the number as an overlay.

    See here: http://10.244.193.13:8081/

    I was trying to use GPU-z to do this but as it logs as a list the webcam software can't update properly (also it reads the headings of the file and displays them instead)

    Is there anyway to alter the logging to only output just the number (GPU Temp) and to delete the old numbers so the new value is the only value in the file.
