![]() The great thing about IObit Unlocker is that it automatically finds and ‘Force’ terminates all processes that prevent you from deleting any particular file or folder. IObit Unlocker can fix your computer’s ‘Cannot Delete’ or ‘Access Denied’ error messages. To remove lock handles, it can kill processes, unload DLLs, and delete index.dat files. The great thing about Unlocker is that it searches for a lock handle and allows users to take back control over the files and permissions. That would only create more chaos in their understanding, and increase some users’ misconception that the software “owns” its files.If you are searching for a free and simple tool to remove files and folders that refuse to leave your system, then Unlocker might be the best tool to pick. Then, as soon as you open a file, a Save dialog would default to the open file location, overwriting the saved one.Īnd as soon as you saved to a different directory, you won’t be able to find “misplaced” files from older days, which is the usual problem for users.Īnd no, I can’t take seriously “solutions” that misuse tools based on misunderstanding, offering such a solution for users who, by definition (based on the task we discuss here) know even less about file management. The last known full file path can help you find a file if it was saved on an external/remote drive.Īre you talking about one single specific task that this could be useful for, namely: when one saved a file somewhere, and immediately realized that they don’t know where?įTR: each dialog can have own MRU location: e.g., on Windows, if you open a file using File Open dialog from one location, and save using Save As dialog to another, the Open dialog and the Save dialog would have different saved directories (same for export). If you click on such a file in this Center you will get an Error message stating the file does not exist, and it also shows you the full path where the file was last saved. This Start Center does not seem to track if a file has been relocated, deleted or renamed – it tell you exactly where a file was last seen regardless of what has happened to it since. ![]() (Not even Help appears.) Chose Start Center from File and you will see all your Recent Documents. All you see is LibreOffice with File as the only dropdown option. LibreOffice also has a Start Center which seems to only be available if no files are opened in it. That information is not known to the native file system. The benefit of using the App/Exe to find a file using the native file system is that an App/Exe knows where it last saved a file. This Search is also built into Save As, and Open. The Search option is in LibreOffice’s Save dialog. LibreOffice Start Center will show it as not available when clicked to Open. If the folder the document was created, or last saved in, was moved using the file system you will have to search for the file (as described above) to find it and delete it. LIbreOffice’s Start Center will show the file moved to the Trash Folder. This will delete the file that you have opened. You also (on a Mac) chose to Rename, Duplicate or Show in Finder. You can delete any file using this method, not just LibreOffice documents. Right-click on the document and select “Move to Trash” (Mac option, likely something like Delete File on a PC). You can also search for the file name in the top-right Search). (If you have the file opened the folder it is contained in is shown. To delete a file (using LibreOffice as an example), go to “File Open”. For 20 years I have been using the following method to delete misplaced files. The subject is considered closed, but no one has offered a way to use LibreOffice (which knows that the file exists somewhere) itself to complete the deletion task. Solutions have been offered on this forum to deleting files that are hard to find or misplaced that rely on using the native file system to search for the “lost” document.
