Compress old files

  • This option, which is the only option that does not remove the files, compresses the files on the operating system that have not been consulted after a certain period of time. The files are not deleted, but simply compressed into a smaller size since they are not used and are accessible by the operating system if they are needed once more.

    * The original title: Disk Cleanup tool hung

    I am trying to run the disk on a Windows 7 system cleanup tool and it takes forever!  It seems to be to calculate the amount of space will be freed up. I had read somewhere that long time may be due to the compression of the files before calculating the free space. If this is the case, how can I disable file compression in this tool?

    Found that if you let this race long enough, it will end.

  • When running Disk Cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files'.

    When I run my disk cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files' during cleaning.» Why not? I also need more disk space to defragment and I deleted all the programs that I don't use, but is not yet give me enough disk space.

    Compress old files not removes all files, compress files that are rarely or seldom used.

    If you get the low disk space, less than 15-20% free space, then you need to collect as much space as possible. However, the amount you get will not be a solution, only a temporary fix - it that.

    To add or remove programs and Windows components in Control Panel, you can uninstall programs as your plue no use - if you have. Not to be far uninstalling programs, you do not recognize, many elements are required for other programs work properly.

    You can also check to see how much space is reserved for the restoration of the system; by default, many GBs are usually reserved. Also disable hibernation as the file created can be 2-3 GB, sometimes even more.

    You must also consider moving your files and folders on a removable media, such as DVDs or an external hard drive. Still a great flash drive with 4 + GB of space can help, and their prices are reasonable these days.

    In addition to Disk Cleaner, you can consider running CCleaner. This is a free program that will remove the unnecessary and temporary files temporary Internet files of the most popular and many browsers other caches that can be cleaned safely.

    Since you are using Windows XP, there is a setting in CCleaner to remove the uninstallers of patches; These are the Windows Update files you've downloaded and installed over time and are there if you ever want to uninstall the update. But you can save these CD/DVD and then remove them safely from your system to recover the space. If you have ever removed one of these, you may be able to get beyond 1 GB of space.

    CCleaner

    If you decide to try it, by default, that almost everything in Windows Applications and is verified to be cleaned. You must first review the lists (they are compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

    Then click on analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right click and select view detailed results) of the entries in the list to get more information.

    According to the detailed results, you can right click for options such as adding to the list of exclusions if you want the deleted item.

    Once that you are completely comfortable with your selections, you can click the run Cleaner button and then OK to put warn before vacuuming will run.

    CCleaner is also a registry cleaner that I don't recommend that you use - even if you have successfully run a registry cleaner in the past, it is quite possible that the next time will bring serious problems; they are not worth the risk...

    I know that this was not the miracle that you can have hoped, but personally recommended solution is a new, larger hard drive. In the case of desktop computers, an additional hard disk is useful for your personal files, especially for music, movies, photos and more.

    I hope this helps.

  • Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window

    The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.

    I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.

    I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.

    Thank you very much for your cooperation and your response.

    "Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.

    When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
    contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
    a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
    crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
    file.)

    Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
    to get rid of them.

    Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
    Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
    see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
    installed, glorious detail.

    If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
    was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
    These files as well.

    On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
    standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows
    The Defragmenter built into the work. In addition, it is to you.
     
    Your processor is another story. It's not easy to find effective security
    software that will work on a P3. Even if you only use the computer
    for the basic elements, an internet connection is pretty basic for a online
    criminal to find you.

  • Cannot install the v18 Beta in Windows 8 due to restrictions of Windows Update.  How can I work around those?  Change the approach to update does not seem to help.

    HI - we are trying to install the beta version (18) on a Windows 8 machine for one of our customers.  But, the update of Windows does not allow that to happen.  We changed the approach of updating to do not have the automatic updates.  But that does not solve the problem.  Any help is appreciated!  I guess it's a pretty easy fix, but unfortunately I'm not Windows savvy these days.

    Thank you!

    Oh, it's not good advice.  Uninstall the last update to Flash will not remove Flash of the system, and it will leave you with a vulnerable version, the Senior Flash Player.  Install the player ActiveX for Win7 won't upgrade Flash Player component built into Internet Explorer, then the user will be still stuck with an outdated version and no beta version until they run windows update again.

    We distribute a beta version for Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and over all because we do not have this distribution channel (it's the same reason that we do not have a beta of Chrome), and the binary of Win8 differ from those we publish for Windows 7.  There is no effective way to do at the moment.

    We talk to Microsoft to provide a mechanism for the distribution of beta versions and releases of extended support of Flash Player in Win8 + users, but these vehicles of distribution would have to come directly from Microsoft and we always talk just to this topic, so there is no solution in the short term.

    If you want to evaluate beta versions on Win8 + you look essentially NPAPI on Firefox or PPAPI on the opera.

    I'm under Pavilion dv6 artists edition and I really want to use the MediaSmart Music software bundled with it.

    I didn't have a MediaSmart Server. I want to just use it on my local machine.

    I have all my music in, well fine, my music and they are all mp3 (standard windows compression) to 128 bytes

    I thought that the library would find the files, but it does not... and when I "select" a specific folder: nada. Also, I tried to dig, I moved a music folder in my music folders public network (read: move the music did not help) and I don't have any software the iPod on my RESUME!
