Files on computers have something called file permissions. These permission control what users/programs are allowed to delete what. When a particular file has permissions that prevent a program from deleting it, that program cannot delete it. That is why some files in your My Documents were not deleted.
But from the tone of your posts, I can tell that you aren't here to learn, just to find someone to blame. So this post is entirely wasted.  |
Again with your assumptions? I am hear to learn as well. I am always willing to learn. You initially ignored that so what am I to assume? Now the only problem is the files are not read only that were not deleted. That was actually the first thing I checked. Like I said though you assume too much because you are sure you know it all. As I mentioned in my first post, which I am starting to wonder if you read it at all, I said she is partly to blame because your warning message would have raised some flags with me because it is unclear, not because I feel I understood it.
The tone in my post is to try and get some real changes here that would be more in line with what one would expect. I am not trying to cause any issue. I want to make Calibre awesome by helping it handle deletion of data in a more effective manner. This change would also relive you from dealing with these kinds of posts. I just wish I could get you to see that I am just trying to help by making suggestions. You want to degrade and demean people by saying things like "a small lecture about something called file permission" as if you're the only person in the world that can understand file permissions! ooooo scary words. I am sorry but acting like everyone is beneath you is not the way to go man. So if you keep this civil we will be fine. Thanks.
