This can be counted as a well-enough reason for cancelling the renewal of show. There could be only one real reason of getting Exorcist removed from the lineup list, the show ratings and viewership. From over averaging 1.3 million total weekly viewers and a 0.4 demo rating, The Exorcist is down sharply from the 1.9 mil/0.7 that happened only a year before.

Note that locate isn't updated very fast, so if you run locate *.solWinrunner software. again after removing them. It'll indicate that the files still exists. Try to remove them again, an you'll get a couple of messages indicating that the files do not exist anymore.This method is fairly reliable, but won't remove very fresh flash cookies, since they haven't been indexed yet, and so 'locate' doesn't know about them yet.
