Hello

You must understand a basic first concept.

Libraries in Windows 7 do not contain the physical files. They show only a virtual display of the physical files that are contained in other physical files that have been added to the library.

Example:

By default, the Document library displays the files that are contained in the C:\Users\your utilisateur\Mes Documents folder and the folder C:\Users\Public\Public Documents .

If you simply right click and delete the Document library, it will not add any free space on the C: drive.

To add free space on the C: drive, you need to remove the C:\Users\your utilisateur\Mes Documents to the folder that contains the actual files.

Before you do, make sure that you have backed up the files you do not want to lose.

The best way to add free space on the C: drive, would be to move the Documents and other user folders to another drive internal or external.

See the Second Option in the following tutorial.

    Hi templar_39,

    DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

    This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

    Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

    If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

  • Can I safely remove the Windows.old files?

    What's up guys?, I have a Compaq Presario supplied with the Windows Vista operating system, 32-bit. I backed up all my drivers on DVD and I downloaded a clean copy of Vista using an ISO on a DVD burner. I reinstalled the new copy put in my original product key, and he agreed. I reinstalled my drivers and all seems to work fine. I transferred all my data, mp3, jpeg, etc. for Flash readers and/or new programs on the new OS. The reason for the new OS was a virus infection which partially damaged the registry.  I really want to keep these files in the system for obvious reasons. Can I safely delete the files "Windows.old" and what would be the best way to do it?

  • The University has passed to gmail so I have now two accounts of thunderbird. How can I safely remove the unused?

    The school where I teach is recently spent all gmail accounts. To use Thunderbird, I had to register again, which gives me two accounts Thunderbird on the same column on the left. As far I can tell, everything has migrated to the new account. Can I remove the old one - or hide in some way? Is it safe to delete? And how do I do it.

    If you are sure that there are no mail to be kept in the old account, it can be deleted.

    Press Alt or F10, where the menu bar is hidden.
    In the main menu bar:
    Tools - account settings
    Select the account to be deleted in the left pane.
    Select 'Delete account' in the drop down menu "Action counts" at the bottom.

    Hello

    I just tried the MMS and inserted a MMC console.
    I have a question now. After eject devices.

    How to remove it properly. I tried pushing gently so that it would make the ticking and make out but that has not worked. I didn't force and ruin the slot. I can get out, but I have to raise the laptop.
    On the user manual. Those are the steps for removal:

    1. open the icon remove the device safely and eject media on the Windows taskbar.
    2. tap media memory and click on the left Touch Pad button.
    3. Enter the media up and out of the computer to remove it.

    I have not quite step 2. Please explain to me how easily / safely remove the MMC on this laptop.
    Also, tell me if pushing the MMC will be out or not.

    Hello

    What card insert you? MMC (MultiMediaCard)?
    Usually you will need to enter the card and pull it out of the computer s slot to remove the media but when you insert the support of memory in the wrong direction, you will not be able to remove

    > I have not quite step 2. Please explain to me how easily / safely remove the MMC on this laptop.
    In most cases the task bar contains a small icon showing that the media card is inserted...
    We must therefore stop this read/write process before removing the card...

  • Can I safely delete the D partition on the HARD drive?

    Second question: my laptop came with the HD in two partitions, C and d is there a purpose for this and I can easily (safely) delete the D partition?

    You can do what you want and you can create a partition but HARD DISK with two partitions has since. All important data, you can save the second one (D). If something is wrong with the operating system you can install it at any time on the partition c. on this way, all your data will still be there.

    The delivered use recovery media, you can use the configuration option and select installation on already created the C partition.

    I recommend you leave him with two partitions.
