After Run DEFRAG in VISTA has lost 37 GB of disk space

I ran disk cleanup after my loss of hard drive space that remove all restore points except last option and I do not recover FROM my concert 37 loss of hard drive space.  What does Windows Vista DEFRAG! ???  He dé-compresser some old compressed files?  In addition, during the execution of the "System Tools" folder defragmentation, there no option to see you an analisys "REPORT" of the hard drive before or after the execution of the actual DEFRAGMENTATION.  In addition, for a disk hard 320 GB with ANY other running application (3 GB of memory on an AMD Turion TL-60 2.00 GHz HP Laptop) it took more than 24 hours for the defragmentation to finish.  Help!  I want my rear disc space!

Hello Halima,

It was an excellent and informative answer...  If you read my other two messages about this problem, I explained that I am very aware of the technical aspects of DEFRAG as system support for environments IBM Mainframe using IBM DEFAG back in the early 1980s.  My main concern was what happened to my DISK space.  Your reply explained what actually happened.  A little more complete history: it is a new DRIVE that I had just put into service (used CMS of TRANSFER of DATA to copy the entire volume, including the OS) upgrade to 160 GB to 320 GB.  He had worked flawlessly for two weeks.  I decided that I wanted a copy of my hard drive again and that he wanted to 'clean & not fragmented' volume before I copied it to a NEW 320 GB volume spare.  It was when I Defraged this week two used the volume I had my 'problem '.  I could get my space by manually deleting some files work and execution 'OWN DISC' system with deletes everything except the last system restore file.  Thanks for your time in my question ansewring.

  • Vista Home Premium gobble up available disk space

    Toshiba Equium a200 came with a 160 GB hard drive and a lack of space, so I replaced it with a 320 GB drive. Two low months down the line, I get a message C reader closer to its limit. Why is Vista Hungary both for hard disk space?

    Hello snakes47,

    System Restore is one of the main culprits for eating fast disk space; However, by default, System Restore can only 12% of the available disk space to store its files. You can try to disable restoring the system and then reactivating to see what percentage of disk space, you can recover. See this link from my site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/turn_off_system_restore.htm do not forget to reactivate new estore system after system restore points have been removed. Incidentally the System Restore creates a restore every day then, point we re-enabled, you can expect the space of hard disk to reduce again, but, as I have already said, only 12% of your disk space must be used. That is unless you have made changes to the amount of space allocated to system restore yourself in which case the amount you have allocated will be precedent.

    Another source is memory dumps but, again, it will happen only if you get the blue screen errors or your system is to have several errors. A free version of CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner. Install it and then run it. This will clear your dump of memory and history files, temporary internet files, and a host of other files that are not needed. TIS can help recover more space for you.

  • After iPhoto deleting Library.migratedphotolibrary why not get all this disk space?

    I've migrated photos on my Mac (OS 10.11.2) months ago.

    I talked to AppleCare just before and I was told that I could remove the old Library.migratedphotolibrary iPhoto after confirmation of everything was in pictures and Photos Library.photoslibrary.

    I did, and they are, so I removed the old library thought I would free 113 GB of disk space on my MBP. The old library was the size and the new library is 128 GB because it has ceased to grow since the migration into Photos, and everything seems to be there.

    So I moved iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary into the trash and empty the trash. It took some time for the trash to empty! But once completed, instead of 113 GB of space to reclaim it seems that I only got back around 10 GB of space.

    Why is this? Were two libraries really sharing pointers to the same pictures?

    Thank you

  • After resetting Firefox, LCD screen has lost its sharpness - as there are some missing pixels - WHY?

    I have a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate. Lately when I'm in Firefox (running the most recent version), if I try to open more than one tab, Firefox slows down and I get the message "Mozilla Firefox does not. in a few seconds, regardless of site I try to open in the new tab opens; Firefox just seems to be morose. Finally, I tried to reset Firefox. After I did the reset, I noticed that the images on my screen (Acer LCD S200hl) appear to be less clear, even the wallpaper. As I type this, there seems to be holes in the image on the screen, as if the pixels are missing. Some letters look as if they are not completely filled. The only change is that I have reset Firefox.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Where there is an incompatibility between Firefox and your graphics driver, try to disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration. You could have done this once before, but of course, reset turns it back.

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    It will take effect after you exit and then restart Firefox. Any difference?

  • After the upgrade to CS5 has lost the BACKSPACE...

    Sorry, but did not find a thread with this annoyance.

    Simply, this key has disappeared and to remove a frame, I need now to use the cutting key...

    Thank you.

    I think you should keep dreaming

    I'm not a programmer, but look at my own files, here's what I think is happening:

    If you copy your shortcut in the folder of the CS5 file, you will lose all the CS5shortcuts that are not included in this one. For example, there is a shortcut to select the Gap tool in CS5, and it isn't in the shortcuts in CS4. So, if you use your shortcuts in CS4, you will lose these keys.

    I guess when you make a customized in the InDesign dialog box set, it copies all the default shortcuts in this game and then adds or modifies everything you add or change. But if you start from a set of shortcuts in CS4, you will lose some of the default settings. Thus, you need to start with a set of shortcuts CS5, and then add or replace your own shortcuts. Unfortunately, it will be painful because you want to make sure that everything you add replaces the corresponding shortcut to the default settings. If you can not stick just them all at once.

    I guess that's the reason why there is no button "load the shortcuts '... I bet someone knows a way to compare the two files and look for the lines where the

    The other option is simply to print a list of all of your shortcuts and then go back and recreate them in Indesign. Probably the safest bet - but if Adobe wants us to upgrade every 18 months, it certainly would be nice if they gave us a better way to do it!

  • WLAN on Satellite Pro L770-12R after upgrade to Windows 10 has lost

    OK, first of all, I must admit that I know very little about computers so be gentle!

    I have some cleaning on my laptop and uninstall programs I didn't need. All of a sudden my WiFi stopped working and there is no wireless option when I try to connect to the internet, it shows just connect using a cable. I guess that means that I accidentally uninstalled some software required to connect to the wireless internet.

    How can I get it back? Thank you!

  • Help invisible fixing file trash should be removed, the file has grown exponentially and hard disk space.

    A few days ago, I deleted a file .mkv of the trash using CCleaner, as I usually do (this is my first problem with CCleaner). Although it seems as if the file was not successfully removed. Whenever I start Defraggler or CCleaner, I am aware of the file in question still exist on my hard drive, and as time has passed in the last days, the file has increased to exponenentially to the point that he can't because he filled my hard drive. Remember that this file, before I deleted it, was about 4 GB. It's somewhere in the region of 80 GB, I think. CCleaner can not delete it (although it is trying very hard), I tried to defrag it several times and I don't know what to do.

    According to Defraggler, the file is located in C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-1458822887-3216967547-306807193-1000\

    If anyone knows how I can remove this file from my hard drive, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll have to buy a new hard drive and move all the important data on it to the new.

    actually just fixed. solution was to allow C:\$Recycle.Bin be seen (with options of folders in the control panel), then went in, deleted the trash (excluding all files desktop.ini and other important files, windows prompts me not not to remove). Voila, basket rest, excluding the massive file that was found to have taken more than 170 GB in the end.

    very happy right now.

    Pf30 soul it records progressive, but puts it as interlaced on internal memory.

    Better is to implement a project of 30 p manually as elements are likely to be interpreted as 60i

    If so, you need to interpret all the clips in the assets of the project at 30 p.

    MXP mode means that it has been saved in 24 Mbit/s.

  • "All programs" is empty after running Registry Cleaner

    After running registry cleaning software, I lost the ability to see all my programs when I click on "All programs"... property is (empty)... same problem when I click on "Favorites"... resulting (blank)... suggestions?

    It would be good to know how the system restore has failed.

    Any registry cleaner worthy of the name should back up the registry or at least to save the made changes so that you could "undo" them.  Try to run to the top and look for an option "Cancel".

    Another possible option would be to create a new user on your system.  When a new user is created, the default desktop items are regenerated and this could be a way to get back them.

    Other than that, you may have to re-create your icons to find programs in the folder c:\Program Files\ and recreate the shortcuts on your desktop and start menu.

    The register is an essential part of Windows and should not be messed with except if you know enough to back up the registry before you do anything about him, and restore the registry when things go wrong.

  • Running out of disk space and the need to remove the old clichés

    I recently joined a company owning an ESXi 4.1.0 (build 260247) server with 4 500GB data warehouses.  One of our servers main database (Ubuntu/Postgres), which uses only one of the data warehouses (4 datastore) has 21GB 465 GB free.  It is currently configured to store all settings, storage and snapshots on this unique data store.  The hard disk is configured as thin.

    The virtual machine has crashed a few days ago, when it ran out of disk space.  We removed a small second partition (which was in the same data store) and cleared space, but we receive extremely weak with only 5% of the data left store.

    I have read many posts and wanted to get the opinion of this community before I move forward.   Because we do not use the 4.1 last I heard some issues using the option "Remove all" that it may require more disk space and others recommended to manually delete snapshots from the closest to the base, but it seems that in this case it can merge the snapshot with the original without freeing all the space.

    We are not all of the snapshots and I'm fine with delete them, but I assure you we will not run out of disk space in the process and complicate things further.

    It is best to manually remove these snapshots starting with the one closest to the base or by using the "Delete All" (or something else)?  In addition, if we go with the manual option, is it possible with the virtual machine upward or do we need to close first?

    Current snapshots:

    Current data warehouses associated with VM (really unique using the 4 data store)

    Actual files on the data store 4

    Welcome to the community,

    After the screenshot, your virtual disk 'arrow_db1.vmdk' stocked thickness!

    With the thick disc service and ESXi 4.1 (the problem with "Delete All" is related to version 4.0), you can run safely "Delete All". However, due to low disk space, I recommend that do you with the virtual machine off. If turned on, a new temporary snapshot will be created, which - according to the workload of the virtual machine - can grow and fill in the data store.

    Due to the size of snapshot and depending on the speed of your storage space, you need to plan a few hours well downtime.

  • Vista has stopped turning the games run for a long time.

    Vista has stopped turning the games run for a long time. The display would go crazy and the sytem would lock. Gotta make a stop with the power button. No errors are recorded. I re-installed the game. Same thing. I reinstalled Vista 64. Same thing. I get about 3 minutes in the game and then locking the. 1 single game still work (BioShock2). COD - MW2 and COD MW lock the sytem. One is direct install, and the other is the steam. I have a video card Nvidia GTX 280 with the latest drivers from Microsoft. Before the reinstall, I tried to install the most recent NVIDIA. Did not help. Yet the locks without showing error. About half of the time it stops at my off video card a few seconds after that the display goes crazy. BioShock uses DirectX 10, and others use DirectX 11. I read on some sites that 11 causes the video crashes on some systems. I want to know is why 11 is working for so long and stop NOW. Is there a way to make the games all run on 10? COD BlackOPS crashes too. I played ALL these games over and over again until the last 3 weeks. If there was some error to post logs I would but there is not. Any suggestions on where to find some kind of problem that could cause this? The video card was removed, cleaned and put back into the computer. Still crashes. 1 in 4 of the games will take place without any problems. 3 will be blocking of the computer and the video trash in 3 minutes or less to start the game. The video is great, until blocking.

    Suggestions on how to fix or where to additional troubleshooting for the cause will be greatly appreciated.

    Try running the memory and the hard drive scan to make sure that both are good.

    If both check good, the map may be at fault. In which case it is overheating you can manually increase the fan speed in the Nvidia Control Panel.
