Can I delete data from my hard drive program files

I have Vista Home Basic on an Acer Aspire5315. I bought 200 GB of RAM. Now I have less than 10% room on the drive C of ACER. There are a lot of Data\Microsoft\Search \Data program files on the hard drive. I can remove them?

Hi Judith,

You should not delete these, program data files are stored by Applications you have installed on your computer. If you delete, it will make these programs to crash.

RAM memory is a temporary memory to keep track of things that are open (among others), it does not affect the storage space. In addition, there are no 200 GB of ram.
Download and install CCleaner, which can cancel the entire space that Windows generates throughs months/years of use here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Then once it is installed, quit all browsers you have open and run CCleaner
Then click Cleaner (the icon of the brush).
Then check all the boxes in the Internet Explorer category
Check all the boxes in the category of Windows Explorer
Check all the boxes in the category System (and for each one you receive, press OK)
Click on the Applications tab, and then check all the boxes in there.
Now click the Run Cleaner button
That will clear all the clutter.
Now, if you click on Tools
Click on the Uninstall tab
Here you can see the list of programs that you have installed
Select any software/tool bar you don't need and click run program uninstaller.
That will save you a lot of space on your drive.

  • Question about deleting data from the HARD drive

    Hello

    The C drive on my computer satellite phone is almost full, 1.21 Gb free of 55.7 and drive E has 10.9 GB 36 GB free. How can I solve this problem. I am not concerned by what is deleted. It can go if you have to.

    Slowing down the laptop down to something serious.

    Any help would be great.

    Hello

    It seems that drive E has little more free space
    So, you can move some files like photos, movies, files pm3 or any that you have stored on the partition, the partition E.

    You can also reduce the E partition and can add free space on the C partition.
    To do this, you must use a 3rd party software
    I recommend using a freeware tool called * Gparted.*

    How to get it? Google is your friend ;)

    It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

    Saving your files:

    You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

    Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

  • How to copy data from one hard drive to another after the upgrade?

    I have a HP e9220y, and I recently bought a new hard drive for it. There is nothing wrong with the former, but this one has a 64 MB cache and 7200 RPM so I hope it will be a little faster. I installed it and it works fine, but I want to copy all data from the old disk to the new so I can start everything off the faster hard drive and I seem to have a bit of doing wrong. I can't just copy and paste because of the Windows system files that are used. And last night when I set up Windows backup, and went to bed, when I thought it that Windows has recovered from a stop unexpected, rebooted, and only 2 GB of data saved obtained.

    What is the best way to move all the data from the old drive to the new drive, make it the default C: drive and move partitions system and factory_image as well? Thank you!

    (1) If your old drive and the new drive is Seagate or Western Digital, then free House with their cloning software.

    (2) before starting the clone process, I found best to perform a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

    Cloning software to copy the two partitions. Example:

    Old drive 250 GB formatted to 232 C: created 220 and 12 GB D:

    New 1000GO drive formatted to 931 GB created 919 GB C: and D: to 12 GB

    The "Seagate disc Wizard" cloning software will let create you a clone automatic or manual partition resizing.

    The two modes to offer an overview of the actions before commit you. The manual on this page of Seagate (PDF) is 68 pages.

    After the cloning process he complete, all you have to do is swap on the disks. Besure to connect your new disc on the original motherboard SATA port.

  • erasure of data from the hard drive?

    Hey Microsoft, I have a problem

    I had two boot(win_xp_pro_and_win_7_ult).they are the two 32 bit.

    so I tried exchanging win xp with win vista ult 32 bit (download, NOT on the cd).

    I started to install and after 4 5 steps made my pc restarted and it stuck at "Please wait windows is to configure your computer" or something similar to this for 30-40 minutes.

    I rebooted it and started on win 7 I started by now. I tried to start the whole process of win 7, hoping that it will not get stuck, but he said I need space on my hard drive I got previously from win xp. So I opened up Explorer and I have seen that there are a few new files (from win vista).

    I tried once more (started on vista) and my pc has been blocked for the same post in front. So I decided to free up space and tried to format the hard drive, but I received a message(on_win_7):Windows was unable to complete the format. I tried to delete all the files, but I've done worse thereby; I get error file missing at the start of vista. I have the installation files on my win 7 and I want to delete everything on my hard drive.

  • Data from external hard drive not visible

    My computer has been recently infected with the virus to restore Windows. As soon as I was aware, I unplugged my network cable and a drive external hard (without using to remove the device safely), who has all my data. I then used a previous restore point to get rid of the virus, which was apparently with success, because there is no remaining trace.

    Now, the external hard drive is not visible in Explorer. Other utility programs say that the data is always there, but I can't see it or access it in the usual way. This drive worked perfectly up to this point. I tried to restart, unplug the external drive and reconnect it and using a different USB port, but so far nothing has worked.

    How can I get Vista to recognize my external drive?

    Hello

    For the problem with the external hard drive, follow the methods below:

    Method 1:

    Check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps for the same thing:

    a. click on start

    b. click Run, in the Run dialog box type devmgmt.msc

    (c) in the Device Manager window, locate the drive

  • How to transfer data from one hard drive to another?

    I don't know how and has been upgraded to a new hard drive...

    Hello

    Well, it may be quite simple, if you install the new OS in the new drive.

    Then you connect the older HARD drive, and you should be able to explore the contents of the HARD drive in windows and copy the data from the old disk to the new. Be careful with what is selected in the BIOS startup disk.

    But depends on the unit you have, because you might end up having several types of questions.

    You can also use any kind of external card, depends on the type of connection of HARD drive you have and for example, if its SATA, you can simply use a SATA to USB adapter.

    Let me know if this helped.

  • Creating a store of data from local hard drive

    If I wanted to use the free space on the computer host ESXi as a data store, I need to partition the disk hard until I have install ESXi on it or I can do after?

    Default install ESXi uses your hard drive and converts it to a VMFS volume if you install it on local storage. If you plan to use the entire disk, just install ESXi with General settings you will have already created for you a data store.

  • How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

    I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

    Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

    It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

    Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

    If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

    If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

    You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop

    Many options
