Photoshop :: Photoshop & Illustrator - Cannot Delete...
May 20, 2008
One of our graphics people using both Photoshop & Illustrator has deleted files that now reside in the "Recycle Bin". The problem is that she can empty the Recycle Bin all that she wants and these files do not delete. When she attempts to manually delete them she gets a message telling her that the files are 'still in use'.
Rebooting does not resolve. I have read that the "Unlocker" utility will resolve this, but our policies require that I look for a solution from the software vendor before I suggest the implementation of such a utility. So, if anyone knows of a more 'native' solution for this issue please feel free to pass it along.

I have a shape in illustrator CS6 that I'm trying to edit. When I try to click on a point with the Delete Anchor Point Tool nothing happens however I am able to select the point using the Direct Selection Tool and then remove it using the "Remove selected anchor points" option in the Control palette. Same issue with trying to use the Convert Anchor Point Tool.

I'm struggling to figure out how to delete a hyperlink from a PDF I'm editing. The box that shows up around a url address isn't visible on Illustrator but shows up when you open the file in Preview or print it out. Is there a way to delete this box or unlink the url?

I can not delete some of the swatches (PMS colours) from the dock. I've tried to search for any artwork that may contain the colour, but I could not find anything. When I open Swatch Options it only lets me change Color Mode. Swatch name and color type are greyed out no matter what color mode I choose. I've tried to copy and paste the artwork in a new document, restart Illustrator but the problem persist.
I work on Mac OS x 10.6.8..

I work with Adobe Design Std CS5 Illustrator (German version), newly installed - not migrated from an older model! - on iMac27, i7, SSD and OS X 10.8:
I have created my own "Swatches" (Farbfelder) and saved (too) many of them.
Now I want to delete the majority, but I cannot find the directory "Benutzerdefiniert" or "User created?" on the path as hinted by the Illustrator Help (German version: Adobe Illustrator/Vorgaben/de_DE/Farbfelder). I only find the various Color Collections stored during Illustrator installation.
Are Illustrator procedures to blame - or again Apple OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) intricacies?
Apple started to confuse even long term users with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). Every new version offered many surprises or caveats and endless calls to Apple...
Shall I reinstall Illustrator and create the user defined "Swatches" again from the relevant Illustrator files? A sledge hammer method...

I'm using Adobe Illustrator 15.0.2 (CS5) on my iMac which is running Mavericks (OS 10.9.1). In the past, I've simply trashed my plist files in my user's Library's Preferences folder. I did this and it doesn't seem to work. I'm not computer savey enought to do any programming work without very clear instructions. I see that people have talked about the difficulty with doing such things in Mavericks.

I've noticed that in Illustrator CC (17.1) the pen cursor doesn't automatically let you add or delete an anchor point anymore, when in Pen tool mode (P). It used to be an automatic feature in CS5, where a + or - sign would show up whenever I hovered over a selected path with the tool.

I am very new to illustrator and on my recent project, a permanent .25 unit stroke has appeared around all of my shapes. I have tried everything to delete the stroke and nothing has worked. When I select the objects, Ai tells me that there are no active strokes set and nothing under appearances either. I have attached an active screenshot to showcase my problem. The pink outline is the stroke I can't get rid of, I'm currently running CS6 under OSX.

Level: Newbie OS: Windows 7 64bit Ia: Cs6
in short ...
I have made two objects, a vertical elongated ellipse with a circle placed on top that covers a bit of the ellipse and then i made a mask via Ctrl + 7
afterward I want to select the path of the circle and then use the Offset path twice to create two new paths but i want to Delete the first/original path.
however, no matter what i try i cannot seem to Delete the original path. ????
i have searched the manual, FAQ's and even used Google to try and find an answer.
I don't know if i am not asking the right question(s) or what but it seems as though a path cannot be deleted.
after doing ... say ... selecting the path in the layers panel and then clicking the trash can icon at the bottom of the layers palette the Edit menu will indeed say that the path has been deleted ... but ... when i hover over the area ~ the path is STILL there!!??
paths cannot be deleted? i would think if they could be that the manual would have some sort of info.
i find things like ... how to delete part of a path, how to delete anchors ... i mean everything but what i need to know.

How do I delete a missing, unwanted linked file from an AI file? The referenced link is completely gone and is not needed. It can't be relinked or removed since it no longer exists. It is has been a phantom for as long as I have been using the AI file and I would like to clear the "Could not find the linked file" pop up every time I load the AI file.

I have a file based on an imported dxf. It seems to contain all the paths twice (at least), which is making the file huge (~30Mb). Is there a quick method of selecting/removing these duplicates?
Spec. Illustrator CS5, Windows XP Pro.

I am running a batch action that deletes some art from WMF files, and then saves them. When I run the batch, I am prompted to save an .AI file which is named the same as the WMF files that I am processing. This occurs every for every file, stopping the batch to prompt for saving the .AI file.

I've read a couple of methods for deleting variable-width tool points on a path (NOT path points or paths.)
None of them work for me; is there some trick to doing it?
I have read: A) Hover over the unwanted point (with var. width tool) and hit Delete and B)Select unwanted point with var width tool and hit delete.
Both moves result in the entire path being deleted.
