If you re-install windows and format the hard disk during the installation, you will lose everything on the hard drive. There is really no reason to re - install just to save space. You can save all your photos and documents that you do not often use for a cd/dvd or external hard drive, then remove them from the hard drive. In addition, uninstall all the programs that you do not use much more.

  • Where is my free space?

    Everyone knows their free storage space without doing you anything endangered? I keep the deletion of a lot of things. Really, I make sure that I don't have a lot of things in my phone because I have only 16 GB of space. Even just whatsapping, I am careful not to save the media that my friends send me, but I quickly get my space is almost out. What have I done? I went to check my storage space and I realized that I was with 0 bytes! So I went to google and saw that other people know it. Solution was to backup your phone to iTunes and do a factory zero I did last night. After factory reset, I restore my backup and guess what, I had 6 GB of free space! I was happy and angry at the same time. I've never had any bad experience when I used apple front and it is a first and it is quite frustrating because I really thought that I used so much space that I kept my deleting music and kept to transfer my photos on my laptop, but when it is in fact a phone/system error? The next day came that it is today, the phone memory is declining slowly and I haven't done anything for her! I realized this is beginning to happen when I upgraded my phone to the latest operating system. Do I need to downgrade or something? Happy if I can get the best response. Finally, I want to understand why I have only 11 GB of space for us when the phone has 16 GB of space?

  • going, I'll be able to use the factory restore after hiding recovery drive Q?

    Hello world!!

    I recently bought E420 and I have restored factory settings once. Since then, the drive of Lenovo_recovery (Q) become visible in my exploring. Given that others also use this system, which anyone can mess with the recovery disk. I like to retrieve from the hard drive as its fast and easy so. I really never wanted to lose that drive. I tried to hide it

    I found this article on the Lenovo support site http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-71742 (see). I followed the steps. There were LenovoQDrivie.exe such file in my recovery disk so I download the Lenovo_hide_Drive_Q.exe and run that. After that my drive is not viisble in my exploring. I checked it the diskmanagement (make a right click my computer-gale-diskmanagement) here I can see the drive letter has been removed from this disk and see the car now, 100% free space... How can happen? is it just hidden? or I deleted the recovery because the article is for vista and other series of thinkpad? Please answer.

    I'm not currently check my system by running the factory as my system restore works very well and I have installed various related work in software.

    To check I pressed on enter at the beginning and after that I pressed F11 as flashed on screen and I could see display (Lenovo recovery screen after putting a password) which gives various restoration system - as option, command, prompt recovery of start and end of factory default restore. I don't want to take the risk I have no restore selected at the start of the factory and restarted. Defragment in window as I see this player with fragmentation of 3%.

    I just want to ask wheather my Lenovo_Drive is safe and I'll be able to use it to restore my system to factory default in the future? I don't want to try it now that the system is working fine and I don't want to take any chances.  In diskpart also I have lenovo dirve as partition 3 that is hidden. As I said could reach the screen giving 'restore defaults' opition, go, I'll be able to use this option in the future?

    Called the hotline, that they were not able to answer...

    I will be grateful if someone can help me...

    Thank you


    Hi Alexander,.

    Windows 7 recovery would erase the disk and put 7 on the entire disc.  So, you don't want that.  I didn't know you already burned disks.  It's good that you did.

    If you really want to test it, you could make a backup of the current system on external media, (such as a hard drive), and then run the recovery and restoration of the backup.  If it works, then you know recovery is correct.  If it isn't, then you could boot from the recovery discs you've done and restore it from your current backup.

    If you do not want to take the chance to test it, then at least you know that with restore disks and backup to external media that you can restore the system to its current state, no matter what happens.

  • How can I get the 'free space' in my SSD back?

    I tried to install windows via boot camp on my macbook air 2013 Wizard but I got an error during partitioning and restarting the laptop now I'm stuck with my Macintosh HD impossible to return to full capacity. So I tried to search the net to find answers, but I could not find. I have about 55 GB of free space, how could I get it back? I'm also on El Capitan. My ssd is 250 GB and macintosh that HD used to identify all 250 now it is stuck at 199 - ish. Thank you!

    Have you tried to use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the partition that it created? If you do not, then you should give it a try. If instead you tried to solve it using disk utility, then you have garbaged s disk RDB. Either you can take a long time to find out how to solve this problem using the Terminal or you can clone your OS X volume to another disk using disk utility or Carbon Copy Cloner, boot from the clone, erase your internal drive, the clone of restoration on the internal drive, then restart your computer from the internal drive.

    Step 1: Fix the hard disk and permissions

    Boot from an OS X install disc

    1. Insert the OS X installation disc into the optical drive.

    2 restart the computer.

    3. immediately after the ring, press and hold the C"" key.

    4 release the button when the spinning gear under the Apple grey dark

    logo appears.

    5. wait for the installer to finish loading.

    Boot from a recovery HD:

    1. reboot the computer.

    2. immediately after the ring, press and hold the

    'ORDER' and the set of keys 'R '.

    3. release the keys when appears the utilities Menu.

    After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the button continue. When the menu bar appears, select disk utility from the menu of the Installer (the menu utilities for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard).

    For Lion or later select disk utility in the main Menu of public services.

    After disk utility loads select your entry from hard drive (to mfgr. ID and Player size) of the list on the left.  In the disk utility status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed. (State SMART is not reported on external drives Firewire or USB). If the drive is "verified", then select your OS X volume in the list on the left (subentries under the entry for the road), click the first aid tab, then click the repair disk button. If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the installer.

    If Disk utility reports errors, that it can not solve, then Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you do not have one of them or none of them can fix the disc, then you will need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS X.

    Second stage: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place of the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC , which is also a good supplier for the readers.

    Step 3: boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the OPTION key until the Boot Manager appears.  Select the icon of the HD to the external hard drive recovery, and then click the arrow pointing down.

    Fourth step: new preparation of the hard drive

    1. open utility disk in the utility Main Menu, then click on the continue button.

    2. the disk utility charges and then select your new hard drive (it's the entry with the)

    MFGR. ID and size) from the list on the left. Note the SMART status of

    the reader in the status area of THE.  If it says not "verified" and then the player

    is failing or has failed and will need replacement.  Otherwise, click on the

    Tab in the main window of the disk utility partition .

    3. in the title of the Volume entitled plan defined the number of partitions from

    the drop to one. Set the type of Mac OS Extended format

    (Journaled). Click the Options button, set the partition scheme

    GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition/apply button and

    Wait until the process is completed.

    4. Select the volume you just created (it's the auxiliary input under the)

    entry by car) from the list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in THE MAIN

    window.

    5. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). Click on the

    The button options , check the box for zero data and click OK to

    return to the window to erase it.

    6. click on the delete button. The formatting process can take up to several

    hours depending on the size of the disk.

    Fifth step: clone the old disk to the new disk

    1. Select the destination volume in the list on the left.

    2. click on the tab restore in the main window of THE.

    3. check the box labeled destination Erase.

    4. Select the destination volume in the left list and drag it to the

    Destination entry field.

    5. Select the volume of the source of the list on the left and drag it to the

    Input source field.

    7. check you correctly, then click on the restore button.

    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.

    Step 6: open preferences Startup disk and select the new internal volume.  Click restart.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the disk and disconnect it from the computer.

  • How to free space on the hard drive?

    Hello, in my "On Mac" section, it says I 233 MB of space on my 121 GB of Flash storage. Previously, I thought it was video files, but it was buggy mac section. I refreshed, hoping he would show me how much space I had left, but he stayed the same. That is the problem. I use my macbook for College written work and - maximum - work on Adobe Creative Suite. When I work on these I use a separate USB key due to the size of the files.

    The only files I have actively created/downloaded on my macbook are the files in the files of my 'Documents', 'Pictures' and 'Applications '. When I use "Get Info" on each, I see that my photo folder is great, My Documents folder is large 1.17 GB and my Applications folder is large 14,68 GB 889,9 MB. These are the only files that I use and backup the files needed for my Macbook running and working properly, the only files I want to keep.

    My question is, basically, if there is a way to lose all the files on my hard drive that are not necessary to keep. I'm not too good when it comes to computers, so I don't want to not just randomly start deleting things. Just to get these road, my garbage can is completely empty and I have nothing in my downloads folder. I have also no large files to film and, when I searched my Macintosh HD for files larger than 500 MB, there is no evidence, so I guess that this is caused by a large amount of small files (I tried to restrict research naturally but then come files that I wasn't sure of what they have done and therefore have not removed the still). If it helps, my about Mac filed 100,64 GB of my free space as 'other '. But I know that is not how much space was taken when I got the Macbook earlier this year and it should not be the size of the files that comes with it by default. There is also a way to restore all the files on my macbook at their stage of default, that I would also be interested, especially if there is a way to do it without rid of files I already have.

    I guess that's a very basic question, can someone help out me?

    1. never remove all the files that you do not understand the purpose. If you do, it's like opening the hood of your car and take bits out of the engine ebcause you think they are not necessary.

    2. it seems more likely that you must rebuild your Spotlight index.

    Hello everyone,

    Hi I'm alex.

    I've owned a computer laptop "SATELLITE A215-S7422.
    I got 147 GB of my hard disk drive memory, I got 119 free space but as I noticed it is constantly down even if I do not download anything.

    When I saw this first I try to get it back to the factory setting and I had 128 GB of free space, and every day it is significantly down.

    Hello

    There is a simple explanation why HARD disk space decreases each time while watching Youtube videos
    The video stream is always stored on the HARD drive in the internet files folder and in time.

    So from time to time, it would be desirable to remove these files and to clean the folder of files over time.
    I use the CCLeaner. It is free software and can be downloaded from different pages. Google simply
    This program is very useful. It cleans the HARD drive and removes the garbage all registry.

    You should test.
