What is Microsoft Silverlight, what is it for. What is the .trash folder on Android? What is a shared folder

Hello guys) Let's talk about something like Common Files, just don't think that this is a program, no, this is a folder, yes, it is located in Program Files, but this is not a program. It is a folder and a system folder at the same time. Inside it is stored data from other programs, what exactly is not yet clear. But it’s definitely not user data, no, we can say that something is there for service.

You might be wondering if you can delete the Common Files folder? No guys, you can't do this, because most likely there will be problems, if not now, then in the future.

By the way, I remembered. Once there was a time when I optimized Windows and deleted folders there, watched how Windows works, stable or not .. In general, I sort of set everything up and deleted unnecessary software. Well, I saved all the configured Windows. Then I work at my computer and I need to install the program, but it is not installed! Despite the fact that it is put on a clean Windows completely, that's for sure! In short, guys, there were still jokes in that Windows. The moral of all this is this: you should not delete the system one, because it can go sideways not now, so later)

My Common Files folder is located in C: \ Program Files (x86):

It's just that in C: \ Program Files:

That is, in principle, there is no difference, everywhere there is a folder with the same name, right? If you go to the Common Files folder, the one in Program Files (x86), then this is the content:

Here we see folders Java, microsoft shared, nsklog, Services, SpeechEngines, System, Yandex, what are these folders? These are all the folders of programs that you have on your computer, and also just system folders Windows. It doesn't cost anything to delete here, because there may not be any glitches, or maybe there will be either now or in the future. In short, I had glitches after I no longer remember what I deleted from the Common Files folder .. REMEMBERED! I deleted some folder with the word Share in its name and after that it did not work for me Mobile Internet from modem)

I also learned that Common Files contains so-called common files, that is, files that are used by more than one program, but several. It seems that databases and service reports can also be stored there.

If your hands still itch very much and you want to delete Common Files, okay, there is an option. You need to make an image of the system disk to another physical disk... That is, you need to make a backup, you do not need to download and install any programs, because in Windows itself (well, except for Windows XP) there is a standard tool for creating a backup. You can get into it from the Control Panel, look there backups or restoration, I do not remember exactly what it is called. We created a backup, made sure that it was saved on another disk, recover from it for verification and if everything is ok, then you can experiment. I admit that I did this myself, you can delete and see how what works, disable services, in short, finish the Windows for yourself, and at the same time, if anything, then restore everything as it was before from the image!)

Hello everyone. I have to find out what this .trash folder is on Android and understand whether it can be deleted or not. So, the .trash folder turns out to be hidden and this is essentially a basket. But this folder will be visible only if you have enabled the display of hidden files, as is logical =)

So, here's another person writes that someone is running out of memory - then try deleting the .trash folder and there will be a lot of available memory. Another person writes that when you delete it, your phone may freeze a little, this is normal, by the way, 8 gigs were released from the brow, which is quite a lot. And another person writes that not one file manager does not show size hidden folders, writes that zero.

So, I also learned that the folder can be different. We realized that .trash is a basket, but here:

sdcard / WhatsApp /

One chela also has a .trash folder, he deleted it, but in the end nothing was freed. What's the conclusion? I can't say for sure, but it seems that the .trash folder can be both global in terms of the phone's basket, or inside the folder of some application, as in the case of WhatsApp, maybe it also means a basket, I don't know guys =)

So guys, here I found a comment and everything seems to fit:

There is a .trash system, so probably there is also a .trash a specific program some.

Another person wrote that the .trash folder is not just a basket, but some kind of Linux one, I don't quite understand what this means, here is his comment:

I also read that the recycle bin folder may have another name - .Recycle Bin, they write that it can be deleted too, nothing will happen, this is a recycle bin.

Guys, I found another useful comment (by the way, I find this on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum):

Yeah, and then there is still a picture here shows the jackdaw in question, see:

I also found out that letters in mail can also be moved to a folder called trash, by the way, I found a picture in the subject (this mail application apparently):

I do not know what kind of program it is, but here are pictures, maybe this is a gallery, but in the end, when you delete pictures, they get into Trash:

Another example of the Trash folder, this is already a Gmail application, also mail:

Well, here is the.trash folder itself, we can also see that there is a Shared folder and they both go hidden:

So guys, now I understand why one person wrote that the .trash folder is Linux:

So what conclusion can be drawn in the end?

1. The .trash folder usually means the trash can or the place where deleted files are sent.
2. In theory, you can delete .trash, in this folder are the files that you deleted, that is, nothing important. But the folder can take up a lot of space.
3. The trash folder can also be in some mail program, and it serves as the place where emails are sent after deletion.
4. When clearing the .trash folder, the phone may freeze slightly - this is normal.
5. The .trash folder is hidden, so many file managers cannot see it stupidly.

That's all friends. I hope you found out what the .trash folder is, so now all I can do is wish you good luck and good mood !!

You may be reading this on your Mac, but a laptop or virtual machine with Windows, you most likely have. For example, in order to solve with the help of the OS from Microsoft those tasks that are rather problematic to solve in macOS. In this case, it makes sense to use the removal guide unnecessary applications on Windows.

First of all - where to find these installed programs. If you have Windows XP, please uninstall it entirely or find another use for it. If you have Windows 7, 8 or 10, then go to the settings and type in the search "Programs" or "Uninstall". Both will allow you to find the item "Add or Remove a Program". Today we are interested in the "Removal" part. +

If this is your first time downloading the list, you may be surprised at the abundance of all kinds of incomprehensible programs. That's okay - as Delfi writes, there are really so many of them.

1. Microsoft Silverlight

Once upon a time, the presence of different extensions and add-ons for browsers was simply necessary to view sites. One of these add-ons was Microsoft Silverlight, however, today this technology is practically not used, since even Microsoft itself has stopped supporting it - in Edge browser in Windows 10, for example, it no longer comes from the word "absolutely". So find and safely delete - it is unlikely that there are sites on the Internet that require Silverlight right now.

2. Anything that has "Toolbar" in its name

Bing Bar, Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, Ask Toolbar, Yahoo! Toolbar, Babylon Toolbar, Yandex Toolbar - their name is legion. All they do is clutter the OS with their presence. You can delete decisively, quickly and mercilessly, because if there were a lot of these add-ons, then their removal will have a positive effect on the speed of work.

3. Almost everything that has "Cleaner" in its name

Another class of programs that was once popular, but today is mostly useless - all sorts of "cleaners" that promise to speed up the computer and protect it from any infection. Full-fledged antiviruses are best protected from Trojans, and cleaning the registry or deleting temporary files in an age when free place on the disk is calculated in terabytes, and the memory - in gigabytes, the matter is rather hopeless.

The only exception to this rule is that if there is not enough memory, the disk is also not rubber, then leave CCleaner, so be it. It is not quite what (p) t what it once was, but in certain situations and as we said on weak machines, it can help.

4. Java

Another greetings from the past. If you work with any special programs or web services, you may need Java. But if you regular user, who needs the Internet from a computer, see photos and play games, then Java can be safely said "Come on, goodbye."

However, remember that you deleted it. If something suddenly stops running soon, you have to go here, download and reinstall.

5. Skype Click to Call

If you are not using Skype, it is better to uninstall it completely. Otherwise, it makes sense to abandon this "add-on", which can only be useful to those who have turned Skype into their default phone and now and then use it to call all the numbers they can find on the Internet. Removing this plug-in will not affect the functioning of Skype in any way, and the PC may start working faster.

By the way, be careful - Skype will definitely try to install the add-on again at the first opportunity.

6. QuickTime

QuickTime is not very popular on Windows, however, if for some reason it is installed on your computer, it is better to uninstall the program. Developers discovered two critical vulnerabilities in QuickTime for Windows that could remotely run arbitrary code on a computer after opening a special web page or file. To date, attacks using these vulnerabilities have not been registered, however, what will happen tomorrow is unknown.

Despite the severity of the vulnerabilities, Apple will not fix them as it has decided to end support for QuickTime for Windows. Last update for this application was released in January 2016, but more updates, including bug fixes, are not planned. Users are strongly advised not to use this product anymore. In this respect, QuickTime for Windows follows the same fate as Windows XP and Java.

7. "Garbage" programs of manufacturers of laptops, printers, etc.

Every laptop manufacturer and many manufacturers of peripherals, such as printers, cameras and others, strive to install all kinds of garbage in the OS, and they put it together with Windows, in fact, at the factory. It is often difficult to understand what is at least a little useful from this and what is not. In this case, it is recommended to install a simple utility, Should I Remove It ?, which will audit installed programs and will tell you what is worth saving, and what is useless and even harmful.
