Recently my PAYDAY has been crashing a lot because I have been installing and uninstalling a lot of mods. I think that because I have tweaked with the PAYDAY files so much it is starting to crash. I basically want to do a fresh install of the whole game by right clicking on PAYDAY on Steam and clicking 'Delete Local Files'. However I wanted to know if this would also erase my progress.

If you remove a single player game installation with the Delete Local Content option from the Steam Libary, in general will save files be deleted or retained?

I'm seeing people say things like sudo apt-get remove steam and sudo dpkg -r steam but neither are working.   I ran dpkg-query -l *steam* and I get the following:  Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================= un  steam          &lt;none&gt;       &lt;none&gt;       (no description available) rc  steam-launcher 1.0.0.47     all          Launcher for the Steam software d un  steam64        &lt;none&gt;       &lt;none&gt;       (no description available)   Not sure if this helps.  The steam FAQ doesn't seem to help either. I'm pretty sure I didn't do any apt-get install for Steam. I downloaded the steam_latest.deb from the website. Any ideas?   Update: I do have what I believe to be the folder in ~/.steam. What I'm wondering now is, if I remove this folder, what else do I need to remove?

The process is not stuck because the terminal shows "progress", it keeps trying to remove files that it can't find, the messages read something like: /..../file x: Warning: Source ID XXXXXX was not found when attempting to remove it  The reason I am reinstalling is because my installation was messed up when I installed ubuntu-touch and the system wouldn't reboot.   I was able to fire up a live USB through grub and start the installation process, I figured it would be possible to simply reinstall but it seems to be taking forever. Is this normal behavior? Should I stop it and simply go with a fresh install instead?  Thanks!

I have a general problem with my Windows 8 PC that requires I wipe and reinstall Windows. What is the correct procedure for backing up my minecraft saves and mods and then restoring them on a clean Windows 8 again?

I recently bought Dark Souls on Steam. I already have the two hefty 1.5Gb files that make for the bulk of the game and I really don't want to download them at 100kb/s.  I found the folder where Steam was saving the game to, replaced the files, but Steam didn't update the download progress bar when I started it back up - understandable.  Now, is there a way to have Steam re-check the file 'completion' so to speak so I don't have to download it?

I'm sick of accidentally deleting files and directories as DEL button is badly located on my keyboard. I would really like it if ubuntu asked me to confirm before deleting anything. Is there a way to do this?

I had question to ask, and is if there is a way to set steam games (more specifically the games themselves, that shows up as launchers or releases; example: payday2_release) in high priority permanently, or at least to set it on high priority every time i launch the game without having to manually open the system monitor.

So when I got Steam working offline I had 26 games listed in my library but only 2 installed. Recently I brought a bunch more so I want to update my library on my Offline PC with the full list that's on my Online Laptop.  I thought that all I would need just copy the data from userdata/[ID]/config/localconfig.vdf however when I do the number goes down to 2 (the number of games I do have installed) and also the OST I got with Monster Monpiece doesn't appear. When I restore just that file the list and the music listing returns.  So what do I need to copy over from my Online Laptop to the Offline PC to update the list of games in the library?

After installing stand-alone flash games such as , , and  (all of which are great games by the way) I find that my game saves keep disappearing.  I have read how cleaning programs like CCleaner can   . I have CCleaner installed, but do not have it set to run automatically. I have found that whenever I start and then quit IE, my saves disappear. I also run Firefox, but it seems to have no effect on my saves.  My question is: How can I stop IE from deleting these local Flash caches?  As a side note: Do any other browsers have this sort of behaviour by default?

I have 50 folders with some subfolders too, with more than 1000 audio files total. I need to remove all subfolders and put all files in present level. Tried mv */* ./ but it complaints: argument list too long

I am on Windows 7.  I have some files on my computer leftover from an old version of Photoshop.  (I think... I don't remember exactly where they came from, but they seem to be Adobe files.)  There are 124 of them in a folder, which I have named "KILL."  (I don't remember what the original name of this folder is, it's been on my comptuer a long time.)  These files seem to be absolutely undeletable, as far as I can tell.  I can move them around and change the name of the folder, but deleting them is out of the question.  I also can't move them onto a different hard drive or flash drive, I've tried that.  So, let me list the things I've tried first:   A whole bunch of different "unlocking programs."  Including: IObit Unlocker, Lock Hunter, FileAssassin, and Project Kill box.  What I use LockHunter I am told: "No processes locking this file or folder have been found."  All of the other programs I've tried give me similar messages, telling me that nothing is locking the files.  Yet when I try to delete the files using LockHunter, I am simply told "Cannot delete x."  No reason is given. Tried using cmd.exe.  Even when I run a command window under administrator, it won't even let me access the KILL folder, much less delete anything.  I also tried killing explorer.exe from the task manager, and then using the cmd window.  Still can't even access that folder. Tried using safe mode in combination with these other options, doesn't change a thing. Tried changing permissions of the files using the security tab under properties.  It simply says "not inherited."  It will not allow me to change a thing. I am definitely the administrator of this computer. Tried Disk Cleanup and Defrag.  I suspected that some files must be damaged or something, but Disk Cleanup wasn't able to find any errors.  Defrag didn't help.   So, let me just say that I am not a computer expert.  But based on all the things I've tried, I suspect that this might be some hardware problem?  It seems strange that these files don't seem to be used by any processes, and yet are absolutely undeletable no matter what I do.  Is there anything else I can try?  Has anyone had any similar experience, and have any idea why this might have happened?  EDIT: Interesting recent development.  As I have toyed with moving the folder around, I moved it to the Program Files folder.  Now that it's there, it suddenly CANNOT be moved nor renamed.  It is stuck there, apparently permanently, as a folder called "KILL."  How irritating.

I recently discovered that the Settings app is showing around 20GB of space used by temporary files. But when I go to remove them I can only remove about 28MB. When I open the temp folder by using Run and then %temp% it only shows around 40-50MB of files right after boot. How can I remove these 20GB of invisible files? I only have a 240GB SSD so space is quite scarce. Here are a few photos:    I run Windows 10 Home Activated. I have tried Disk Cleanup but this removed only around 30MB of files.  UPDATE: After turning on hidden items I found a folder name WINDOWS-BT, after doing some research it turned out to be a folder for the previous windows version. I deleted it using TakeOwnerShip pro and this removed around 12GB of temporary files, but 8GB still remain. I am currently downloading TreeSize free to find out where the other 8GB is.  UPDATE 2: Hi, I downloaded TreeSizeFree and I didn't really find anything there.   The biggest folder is 87GB of Program Files which mainly consists of my GTA V install. The Program Files (x86) folder was mainly made up of my Steam games (CS:GO, Besiege, etc). The 5.5GB [3 Files] location was noted as being my pagefile.    The Windows folder shows up as 25GB when in Settings it is only 18GB, this could explain where the other 8GB are coming from. What are some things I should look for in there?  FINAL UPDATE: After deleting the Windows-BT folder it reappeared a few hours later. I decided to check from system updates and surely enough one was downloaded and pending to be installed. After installing the update the Windows-BT folder disappeared on it's own and a new folder taking up 20GB called Windows.old was created. I then followed this  to remove the .old folder and I had all my disk space back! NOTE: Disk Cleanup wasn't able to find the Windows.old folder, this is why I had to delete it from the settings app.

For some reason my Steam just broke today after working perfectly since I installed it a few days ago.  It was originally installed via the deb from the Steam site. So I uninstalled that using the Ubuntu Software Center. Then I installed steam-launcher. When I run it from the menu it does nothing at all. When I go through terminal it gives this message, no error:  $ steam/usr/bin/steam:  line 196: /home/andrew/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: Success   So I purge-removed it and removed the .steams directory from my home directory but on re-installation its the same story.  I am using Xubuntu 12.10 64bit.  It appears that steam .local/share/Steam/steam.sh is blank. What is it meant to have in it? I am so confused with how reinstalling it doesn't fix it.

I want to delete all the history of the unity dash about files, videos, text files, images, etc. I find it surprising that the best thing that  can do is to delete the history of one week only.

I'm trying to help my young son to download/install Mods for Minecraft - but it seems like an impossible task. I know nothing about Minecraft, but have tried to download many Mods from different sites - some seems to be downloaded and some don't.   However - when downloading the files I'm never asked where to store the files, I don't know where they need to be stored, and even if some have been stored in the folders where all the other Minecraft files are, nothing happens in Minecraft when starting the game. So - what to do and how? Step-by-step please - as you undertsand from the above I'm on deep water here...   How to download and where to store the files  Any action to "activate" the files in Minecraft?   A million thanks from me &amp; my son:-)
