Microsoft Digital image suite anniversary edition Judy 6/12/2007 8:02:01 PM Is there anyone who can help me to delete empty files in this programme? When I installed the programme on my Vista laptop it listed files that I had deleted the photos in, but I cannot find a way to delete the empty folders, so I have empty folders with no pictures in and the photos are not in either my pictures or my microsoft digital suite but the empty folders are, no problem deleting the photos just the remaining silly folders, any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Judy

Many thanks Judy ============================= If you open the DIS Library and choose ....View By / Folder...in the left pane... You should be able to right click any folder and choose "Remove From Library" or "Delete" from the menu.

Thanks though for trying Judy > x =========================== Try it in Safe Mode. Windows Vista - What Is Safe Mode http://tinyurl.com/2mpeef Windows Vista - Start your computer in safe mode http://tinyurl.com/397vhf Also if you would like to empty the Library and start over...you could delete or rename the database and the Library will revert to the way it was the first time you opened it. Then you would have to catalog your images again. Let me know if you want to do this and I'll post the instructions. -- John Inzer MS Picture It! - Digital Image MVP Digital Image Highlights and FAQs http://tinyurl.com/aczzp Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk

Nothing important in either files. Thankyou Judy ============================ In Windows Vista...your Pictures.pd3 database file should be found at the following location: C:\Users\>username<\AppData\Local\ Microsoft\POD\Pictures.pd3 If you cannot find the file, it may be hidden. On your Vista machine you can find your database file with with an Advanced Search for .pd3 Go to...Start / Search / Advanced Search. Check the box..."Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files" Enter .pd3 in the Name field and left click the Search button. You can delete the Pictures.pd3 file or just rename it Pictures.OLD. The next time you open the Library it will create a new .pd3 file and the Library will be as it was the first time you opened it. -- John Inzer MS Picture It! - Digital Image MVP Digital Image Highlights and FAQs http://tinyurl.com/aczzp Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
