• Disk space used by the Windows folder

  Hi guys I found that my windows folder takes a lot of my disk space. It takes 31 GB of my C: / drive... .and I saw on other computers just 15 and 16 GB of disk space. I also found that Winsxs is taking up to 18 GB 31 GB of the windows folder. Can you please tell me what can I do for this problem all...

• Free space on the C drive. How big should the Windows folder (normally) be?

  I have a HP desktop with a 90G hard drive for drive C with 74G of real ability.  Drive C is now available 1.02 G.

  I've already moved all documents on an external drive to free up space and I have more left to move.  The Windows folder has 54G with 35253 files and 3437 files.  I have Disk Defragmenter and disk cleanup which reduces the Windows folder by less than 1 G.

  What is 'normal' for Windows size, if there is such a thing?  How can I make smaller windows?   I have no idea of what files are in the windows can be deleted.  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  This is not true.

  The %windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS file is supposed to contain jobs waiting to be printed.  This is the print spooler.

  This suggests two things: either you have malware files in that folder (which seems unlikely), or you send print jobs to a printer to be connected to your computer, but now is not.  When you realized that a job does not print, you re - sent to the correct printer.

  In all cases, follow these steps, which will empty this folder (and make your system perform better).

  A. Clean on print jobs pending

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

  net stop spooler
  del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
  net start spooler
  output

  Once you do this, go to printers and faxes and uninstall all of the printers that you no longer need... and remember that the default printer (the one with the box) is the one which is effectively connected to the computer.

• Total space occupied by the table of tablespace

  Hello
  
  I'm looking for information find the total space occupied by a table stored in a tablespace. We can consider a scenario in which the table has data present in it, constraints, indexes, LOB columns and free space left on the total, that it has been allocated. I tried two queries, but don't think they give me what I'm looking for.
  
  Select bytes from WHERE user_segments where nom_segment = "EMPLOYEES";
  
  SELECT
  lower (owner) as the owner
  lower (table_name) AS table_name
  nom_tablespace
  num_rows
  , blocks * 8/1024 AS size_mb
  pct_free
  compression
  logging
  From all_tables
  Owner WHERE AS UPPER ('HR')
  AND table_name = 'EMPLOYEE '.
  ORDER BY 1, 2;
  
  Basically, I need to get this information before executing some DML is on the table, after which, I'll check once again how much space is free after the operation. So kind to provide information to customers on space used and released for a table in a tablespace.
  
  Now how do I go around to find the total space occupied by the table combining the factors mentioned above.
  
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Your queries refer to the segment info.

  Here's how

  create or replace procedure segments_for_table(p_table in varchar2, rc in out sys_refcursor) is
  begin
  open rc for
  select l.table_name,s.segment_type,s.segment_name, s.bytes/(1024) kb
  from user_segments s, user_lobs l
  where l.table_name=p_table
  and s.segment_name=l.segment_name
  union
  select i.table_name,s.segment_type,s.segment_name, s.bytes/(1024) kb
  from user_segments s, user_indexes i
  where i.table_name=p_table
  and s.segment_name=i.index_name
  union
  select t.table_name,s.segment_type,s.segment_name, s.bytes/(1024) kb
  from user_segments s, user_tables t
  where t.table_name=p_table

• Deleting files in the Windows folder.

  I have $NtuninstalKB... files $ in my Windows folder. I could delete them without affecting Windows?

  P S long

  You can remove them without making the overall Windows operatin, the question is why do you want to do this?

  I can only guess one of two things...

  (1) you're obsessed with cleaning the Windows folder (and all the others.)  A compulsion.

  (2) you are trying to free up as much space as possible for some reason any.

  Whatever it is...

  Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

  You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

  Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

  If you are comfortable with the stability of your system, you can delete the uninstall of patches which has installed Windows XP...

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

• This folder is located in the windows folder: $NtUninstallKB36574$ It is not available and you cannot change the security settings.

  This folder is located in the windows folder: $NtUninstallKB36574$
  It is not accessible.  I can't change the security settings.
  It is the remains of an outbreak of the virus.
  I saw that on 2 client computers this course last 6 months.
  So, how is it possible for an inaccessible folder to administrators?
  How can I change the security settings to remove.
  After you run several virus cleaners, I'm pretty sure that the virus has disappeared.
  Ideas?

  You should be able to remove it from the command prompt in Windows Repair Mode.

• The windows.old folder can be moved to the Windows folder?

  I did a reinstall on Windows 7 registry problems, I've had with the preview of the 2013 Office. When I did reinstall on WIndows 7, it created a WIndows.Old folder that stores all my documents, program files and everything. I also have a WIndows folder above that. If the Windows.Old folder can be moved to the Windows folder or separate them? Microsoft Office is also in the Windows.Old folder.

  If you have all this work and you have all the files you need - completely erase the Windows.OLD folder.

  If it makes you feel better - copy the machine completely for more security instead.

  In other words - once you have everything works as you like and know sure you miss not all the files - you don't need the windows.old folder at all.

• Running out of disk space HARD - Question on the Windows folder size

  Hello! I am troubleshooting my HARD drive space. I have a 'C' HDD 16 GB with nearly 0 MB space left (fluctuates probably due to created restore points).

  In any case, I discovered that my Windows folder contains about 7.7 GB of files. (I have Win XP Home Ed, 2002, SP3 installed - with MANY updates that have been installed over the years) 7.7 GB seems a lot.  Random check on the web (not sure how reliable replica is) I see less than 2 GB is what should be there.

  I don't think that there are many 'other' stuff in there, certainly nothing that I placed there. is there a way to check / clean this folder?

  Please do not suggest to re - install Windows as the solution, since at that time, I will buy another computer first.  then put in shape this one. It is clocked at 2.66 GHz Intel Pentium, so not ready to junk food she still.

  Thanks for your suggestions. Best regards, Frank V

  Your list of the most fragmented files that partially reveals the magnitude of your problem. Note that the list does not display very large files that have less than 797 fragments. There are also many small and medium-sizes of the files fragmented with less than 797 fragments. A notable omission in your list, this is the System Volume Information folder. I can't believe that it is not fragmented, she must be on this part of the list is not displayed.

  To defragment by using with Windows XP Disk Defragmenter, you need a bit less 15%. Defraggler is my favorite Defragmenter, but I doubt that it will succeed on your C partition. With Defraggler you can defragment single files, except some files, including those related to safety programs. You must try to reach 20% of free disk space.

  Your swap file is severely fragmented and illustrated perfectly why the possibility of using the "let Windows manage" is not the best solution if you want the better system performance. Minimum setting fixed maximum = pagefile avoids what you see on your system. Unfortunately with a populated partition, it is very difficult if not impossible to resolve completely without having to reinstall the operating system. However, trying to mitigate the impact of what you see, it's something to watch much later in the restoration, the functioning of your computer.

  My previous to Outlook Express references were specifically directed against this program. Outlook is a totally different program and solutions for Outlook Express do not apply to Outlook.

  You cannot compact Outlook pst files and archives, except those who created versions of Outlook prior to Outlook 2003. You can empty deleted item folder and you must first check that it is empty. I would then back up your Outlook Archives on an external drive or flash before attempting to move the locations of archive. Once you have moved the archive folders successfully I would then move messages from your current folders to the archive folders. If you archive the current materials first of all you have more to lose if the process of change the default location of the folder goes awry. Then, you can archive your current messages and change the default location of the current file. You can move messages current return from archives as a last step if you feel the need to do so.

  I copied a few instructions from an external source on how to change the default locations. I hope you find these useful.

  To change the location of database of Microsoft Outlook, the OUTLOOK file. PST is to be moved. In Windows XP, you can find this file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\loginname\Local Settings\Application application\Microsoft\Outlook\ and in Windows Vista, you can find it in the C:\Users\loginname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ folder. After Outlook is closed, the OUTLOOK folder. PST can be moved easily using Windows Explorer by cutting (CTRL-X) and paste (CTRL-V) in the personal folder on the partition data (for example D:\loginname\Outlook). Now, the file is deleted from the original location, Outlook will present an error message because the database can not found. Accept the error message, navigate to the new location of the OUTLOOK. PST file and restart Outlook.

  ATTENTION: If automatic archiving is enabled, the ARCHIVE file. PST must be moved as well! This file can be moved to the same location as OUTLOOK. PST, following the same procedure.

• Rename the windows folder system/system user name

  I'm cleaning up my old computer running MS XP so I can sell it.  I removed all documents and uninstalled the registered software and then "erased" all the free space.  I think that the last thing to do is to remove my name from all areas of computer science, but I can not understand how to change the 'windows system folder' under Documents & settings to another name.  I changed the username as administrator, but this does not change the folder that I'm talking about.  When I try to rename, he said "it is a windows system folder and is required for windows runs correctly."  It cannot be moved or renamed.  I was able to change the registered name and organization, but need help with the development of this case.  Thank you.

• Had to install XP Pro in one folder other than the Windows folder. Can I delete the new folder without causing problems?

  I was cleaning some ad/bad/spyware on the computer of a friend. It runs XP Media Center 2005. When I restarted it, it wanted a password. He put never, ever. The only work around was to reinstall XP without deleting any of his files (more than 8000 music files) because it is not anything save. I put the new XP in a different folder, I named. After searching around, all of his stuff is there and I can access, but this new folder is take a LOT of resources/mem. There is almost nothing in this record, I can delete the new folder without compromising each other, installation? I think I would need to get rid of mode safe mode with command prompt. I did it so many times, but it's never happened to me. Help!

  Once you get the drive installed, simply use xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files, with a fairly large music 8000 drop these command-line utility will be faster than to try to copy them through the Windows Explorer GUI.  Xcopy is integrated with Windows XP, Robocopy is available for download from Microsoft.

• Virtual copies not found in the Windows folder.

  I don't remember having met this before, so I'm going: I just created a virtual copy of some photos of my summer vacation and everything works fine. But when I need to access these photos right window (Windows / my images thats), virtual copies do not appear in my folder YYYYMM. Back to LR if they will appear there with an extension of 1/Copy. Right to the VC, then "Display in explore" will highlight the original folder, the VC is always not there. Part of the frustration is I don't remember what happens before (or) so I wonder if I accidentally changed settings.

  Running LR 4.1 under Windows 7 64-bit.

  Thanks in advance.

  Virtual copies are "virtual". They do not exist in the records; so you can't look into a Windows folder to find them (and in fact, I think it's a bad idea for Lightroom users to browse the folders in Windows in any case, when you browse browsing in Lightroom).

  If you remember you could do before, that is, you're wrong to remember, there is never a convenient where the virtual copies appear in the windows.

  If for any reason, you need a photo for use outside of Lightroom (a photo, virtual or 'original' copy), you would have to export it.
