All of a sudden lots of disk space! Is this a virus?

I was using my computer today and all of a sudden a pop up came in the system tray informing of my hard drive is full! I was told one after the other, starting with my first then my other two additional discs.

I have 3 hard drives installed in my computer - A, B and C (primary) readers, I know a disc becomes full and I had to replace wit ha big disk, but B and C should have plenty of space on the computer's display, they don't seem to be complete, but the calculation of the consumed real space, a player is 880 GB of 931 , Player B is C 633 Go to drive and 1.37 TB of 1.81 to 1.31.  Windows claims all drives are full, even brought it to the top of the disk cleanup window. There are more than a terabyte of lack of free space!
While I checked around that Windows, I noticed several times the amount of free space in readers at the lowest of the changes still about 100 GB over the use of the real disk and at the top I claimed that it is full!
I have Norton Internet Security 2013 and I ran a full scan of the system, he pointed out that no security problems have been found.
Can someone help me with this please?
I am running windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64
No new programs or updates have been installed recently, and when it appears all of a sudden I just watched youtube videos.

Hello

This free program allows you to see what is taking place.

By default system restore also includes 15% of the capacity of your hard drive.

You can change the size of it:

  • 'Other' take a lot of disk space. Is this normal?

    Looking at the disk utility, "another takes place half of the disk space. Is this normal and if this is not the case, how I find what is take up space?

    It's probably normal. The other refers to all files no audio, no video, no photo, no - app. You can easily find what takes up the space with small applications such as:

  • Defragmenter shows that I have a lot of disk space being taken up by a file that cannot be defragmented. I tried disk cleanup. I can't find this file to remove...

    The Defragmenter report is:
    Fragments of files in file size that cannot be defragmented
    32 330 MB \Documents and Settings\Bill & LaVerne\Local Settings\Temp\~PST5291.tmp
    I tried to find this file in order to remove it, but were unsuccessful.  I have the configuration of the computer to make the "hidden files" visible.  I searched all the temporary files by searching *.tmp and deleated all .tmp files that were more than 30 days old.  I searched files with one of the components of the file listed but am not successfulin find the listed file.
    Why can't I find this file?

    Hi Steven,

    I tried the program you recommended "Pagedefrag", but he did not find any fragmented junk files to be fixed.

    However, I had another idea, I went into "the command prompt ", and progress through the file defragmentation report structure was first listed as the path of the fragmented files.  After clicking on "command prompt " in the program lists, I used an old DOS command line: cd (change directory ) (for each step ) and the following file type listed since the path of the defrag report file until I came to the temp indicated as fragmented file.  Then I typed del (space) and then pasted in the name of the file I wanted to delited "~ PST5291.tmp" and you press on [Enter] was deleted, and I was thrilled!

    I delited the file in mode "command prompt " even if windows has not shown that there was!

    Before I tried this, I got windows put in place a restore point in case where my new idea would cause a problem.

    Oh, before I tried this, I also ran again disk cleanup and led also to search all *.tmp files.

    Note: after you remove the ' ~ PST5291.tmp ' file, I ran again the defrag program with several additional fragmented files that cannot be defragmented reported!  When I deleted them... According to the above method, I managed to free up enough disk space change free space of 13% to 34% of free space on the C: drive.
    Quite impressive.
    Can someone explain why windows program (search or windows explorer) cannot 'see' all these files and why 'disk cleanup' could not find and remove?  They took almost 10 GIG of space!

    Thank you

  • Still take a lot of disk space

    So I have been trying again for the first time and decided to try burning a DVD of it to test. I noticed that the video was transcoding I could see my free hard disk space becomes smaller and smaller. I thought that after I had finished, I deleted the reminder that he would free up space again, but which was not the case. I tried to burn another video on DVD to see if it would happen again, and he did. Basically, I went from 120 GB to 60GB free space.

    After that a few DVDs were burned, I uninstalled it again with the hope it would free up space, but again, no luck.

    So I'm about to reinstall it but I was just wondering if there is a way to reclaim any hard disk space, and if there is nothing, I can do to prevent this?

    Thanks for any help.

  • Is it ok to remove the old Windows updates as I have many of them take a lot of disk space?

    I have several updates of microsoft for a few years. I am auto update, but all the old updates are still there. Is it necessary to keep or to delete to free up space. I get warnings that the computer is low on virtual memory.

    original title: is it OK to remove the old windows updates as I have many of them taking place?

    Virtual memory is used only when your physical memory has been exhausted.  This happens usually either when you have not restarted recently, or when you have too many programs running at the same time.  I suggest you reboot at least once a week and if it continues to happen, a purchase more RAM.

  • ORA-00257 - a lot of free disk space

    I am trying to load approximately 14 GB of data, for a total of ~13.5 million records.
    The raw data are on 14GBs, and the table space is set to 30GBs, its all text data.
    The data are about 200 files of different site, ranging from 10 to 180 MBs.
    It's test data (real) I use to try to optimize my indexes and others before you start using the table for actual reports.
    A DBA, I am not able in databases and programming, I am, so please bare with me :)

    My approach is to use sqlldr on an Oracle 10 DB to load data into a table records_load, and then use a procedure essentially do an insert in the selection of records (...) (...) of records_load, in the records_load deletion.

    I've done a few sites one at a time, and they work fine, so I have 500,000 records in my table of records.
    But when I try to transfer the 13,000,000 whole records in the table of loading using the SP, it ends by crashes.

    If I connect to sqlplus to another window, I get
    ERROR:
    ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until this just released.

    HOWEVER, what I find online tells me that the disc is full.

    Oracle-logsB (g) 83.5 83.3 go-go
    data-Oracle (h :)) 278 GO 150 GB)

    I stumbled upon this problem on so Friday and ran:
    RMAN > delete expired backup;
    and it "seemed" to solve the problem, which doesn't make much sense to me.

    So, I changed my PC a little today, to use a cursor and loop through each site and make the
    «* loop * insert records (...)» "selection (...) from records_load * where site = cur_row.site *, to remove at records_load * where site = cur_row.site."

    Now my db is blocked again, with a LOT of disk space.
    I don't really know what to do and would appreciate any suggestions?

    Hello

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
    This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
    who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
    test).

    This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

  • Help return to iPhoto + delete Photos library to recover disk space

    When the Photos were initially introduced, I didn't know what I would get in when I just clicked "convert to Photos" or whatever the wording was.

    A week in the new application I realized that it wasn't for me (lack of some key tools like iPhoto), so just started using iPhoto again instead

    -but only now I realize the new Photos app seems to be "hogging" lots of disk space:

    When I look under the images, I see my iPhotos current library clocking in at about 64GM.

    While the Photos library clocks (now are more used) in a 66GB even higher.

    My question: How do I clear all (assuming that duplicate) photos in Photos and get much needed storage space of hard drive?

    Is it save to just delete the folder from the library of Photos in my pictures folder or I have to delete all the photos in the Photos app?

    If you don't use Photos and has no pictures in you need to trash just the photo library - it will not save a lot of space because of the hard links that are used, but if you use any Photos, then there is no reason to keep the library autour and when you are ready to migrate again (you will need since iPhoto is not supported and an upgrade it) break)

  • Free disk space on the C partition

    Separated from this thread.

    I am also having the same problem.  I am running Vista Home Premium SP2.  I was getting close to complete on my drive C (13% free space). I was shocked to see how quickly it filled up, almost as if he did it by himself.  I was downloading a lot so I had no idea how it happened.  I ran each program cleaning and each antivirus that I had to try to make room.  I cleaned up program files deleted a bunch of audio and video files, and it does not seem to do much more of a difference.  I shut down the computer for the night and is returned to him the next morning.  I ran and bought a few flash drives to transfer files more and when I booted up I checked the hard drive and it was back to 48% free space (as it was before).  I have no idea what happened, but so far, it seems to be fixed...?   one of the cleansers I ran also ccleaner.
