Deleting "Pings"
10/06/07 | Learner

Posted on 10/06/2007 6:01:53 PM PDT by learner

How do I delete items from my "Ping List"? Sorry to bother you with this, but I looked everywhere and could not find any help. I am trying to get rid of a lot of old stuff here and elsewhere on my computer and your server.

Thanks,

Learner.

I don’t either. Not sure why you would want to since they aren’t taking up space on your own computer. Oh, well.

So, all of you are saying it is hopeless and that it is taking no storage space on my computer? I do not really care. I was just doing some clean-ups here and elsewhere on my computer.

Thanks for the advice.

I’m on lots of pinglists that I don’t read. Guess I just like the attention.

It requires a very small bit of HTML programming.

Here is the code, which you'll only be able to deciper with the FR Decoder Ring downloaded as an attachment when you first signed up...I hope you didn't delete that email. It will tell you to delete the spaces between the characters, and divulges the Secret Handshake.

< S > is the HTML code for Strikethrough ON

< / S > is the HTML code for Strikethrough OFF

Not to be confused with / S -- which is the non-HTML code for Sarcasm OFF

Thus Unwanted "Pings" becomes Unwanted "Pings".

Never mind a tip, just bump the Freepathon thread. Glad to be of service.

If you need more attention, I could ping you to every single thread that I read! J/K

No, it's not taking up space. However, if you want to free up space safely on your hard drive, by deleting junk files, download/install/run Ccleaner.

Your browser has a browser cache, while FR uses a ping cache.

Go to My Computer, click on the C: drive, /Windows and look for the /pingcache directory. You can safely delete it and start fresh, after you reboot.

I think.

"No, you hit c:/format"

That would be FORMAT c:

But you can't do this with the OS running at all. You must access it from an external source, such as a 'live CD'. ;^)

Like diamonds are a girls best friend? Nothing I have ever read on the 'net would qualify as a diamond...maybe moisonnite...but not a diamond.

Take computer out side and run-over with car, while holding the delete key down.
