Computer think there is no disk space, when in fact it has a ton

I installed a few programs and games lately and I deleted all of the remaining files of these programs and games.  Windows does not seem to have recognized that I removed these programs.  I installed a new one and now the window tells me that I have 6.33 MB of free space.  In fact, I have several gigabytes of space.  My pc keeps me from doing things because of his lack of space, and I can not install any programs.  How can I view my computer it is bad and he has free space?

If running Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK) followed by a restart does not work, please (a) explain why you think you have a lot of free space (for example, you watched the disc properties using a right click on the drive icon in my computer) and (b) download and run free JDiskReport (you can uninstall after running) to determine which files take up space.

BTW, "scandisk" referenced by Saurabh Joshi and 'check disk' referenced by database Ben is actually the two chkdsk.exe.  If run this help or not is debatable, but if you want to check the status of your drive, do:

Start > run > chkdsk /f > OK

A window will open showing:

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Type Y, and then restart the computer.  Depending on the size of your drive, it may take some time.  Be patient and wait until it's over.  If you're not sitting in front of the screen when it finishes, you can find the report in the event viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK) in the application log.  Look for a process Winlogon event.

  • Computer thinks I have no disk space left (but I certainly do)

    I had a problem with my computer for a while now. When I played video games or something like that, my computer would freeze occasionally and I hold down the power button just to turn off and on again. Last month, my computer showed that I don't have a disk space on my C drive. He dragged about 150 MB to 250 MB or more. I started uninstalling programs and games. He said that I have no disk space. I uninstalled literally all the games except one and there wasn't any change. Earlier, I uninstalled a program which was about 180 MB. Under properties on my drive C he said I won approximately 180 MB. But when I closed and open upward in then up to 150 MB when it was in the range 500 previously. I do drive cleaning all the time and trouble they free up more of a MB. How can I solve this problem? My computer becomes more and more useless every day.

  • Error: "there was a disk error when you write to the file C\:Program files (x 86) \microsoft games\dungeon siege\resources\objects.dsres" during the installation of Dungeon Siege.

    When I try to install it it comes up with an error about 16% in the installation, saying that there is a disk error when you write to the file C\:Program files (x 86) \microsoft games\dungeon siege\resources\objects.dsres

    Any ideas?

    Hi MouseToe,

    What version of Dungeon Siege you trying to install?

    The cause of this problem could be the corrupted resource (.dsres) file or disk error. Here are some things you can do to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Run the disk check.

     

    Check the integrity of your hard disk for lost clusters and errors.

    To do this, follow the steps in this article: check a drive for errors

    Method 2: Defragment the hard disk.

    This improves the performance of your hard drive.

    Reference: improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive

    Method 3: Run the game as administrator.

    Here's how:

    (a) right click on the game configuration file.

    (b) choose 'Run as administrator'.

    Method 4: Try to install the game in a different folder or to a different drive

     

    Try to install the game in a different folder. If the computer has another hard disk, try to install the game on the other hard drive.

    Follow these steps.

    a. Insert the game disc in the drive.

    Note: Do not click on Quick Installation during installation.

    b. follow the setting menus until you see the change button.

    c. click change.

    d. in the path box, delete the existing path, and then type the following text:

    drive: \Program Files\Microsoftgame name Games\

    In this example,drive is the letter of the hard disk drive and the name of the game is the name of the game you are trying to install.

    e. click OK when finished.

    f. follow the instructions that appear on the screen to install the game.

    This should be it.

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 error during recording: check if the original sources are still available, the saving location is available and if there is enough disk space

    Original title: Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Save Bug?

    Something's weird with Windows Movie Maker...

    It cannot record movies, I create somehow.

    Immediamente when it starts to save, it gives an error signal: check if the original sources are always available (and yet, they all), there is no such thing as the save location (of course it is!) and if there is enough disk space (a lot of). Still, it will not save. How can this be possible?

    I use an mp3 file (pendulum - watercolor) and have a lot of footage, often used with effects. They are 1280 x 1024 and a .avi file. Everything should work fine, but still does not work. Help me!

    What is the processor and RAM how much your computer have? Make a right-click on the icon my computer on your desktop and select properties for this information.

    Try Ctrl + Alt + Delete, select Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Under Commit Charge, which is the Total, limit, and the pic?

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  • Won't let me download anything not "enough disk space" when I have over 200 GB of available

    I seem to be OK with a single page at low resolution in B & W - 150 dpi but not more than a few pages to this resolution, or even a single page to a higher resolution and the error message is thrown upwards and will not save the file. Clearly I'm not memory hard drive because there is a lot of space and I tried recording on multiple disks.

  • Windows Live 2011 Messemger shows bad "disk space" when I have more free 20GBs

    Since I upgraded to WLM 2011, whenever a file is transferred to me, WLM will say: "the file has been transferred not because your computer is out of disk space. Try to delete some files, and then ask the sender to start the transfer. »

    I changed places where to transfer them to, I made sure it goes on the appropriate drive, I've checked everything and it still glitches like that. I CAN send files to others and nothing else is affected, just the file transfer, it is as if all are blocked for reasons of this error. I have the space, I even recently cleaned up several GB of memory, it's as if WLM 2011 is not even checking the right player and yet it is assigned to the hand. Overall, there is apparently no reason that he should behave in this way. As far as I know, I'm the only one with this bug. It persists regardless of the computer restart or WLM 2011.

    All means to solve this problem? Old WLM that would never do something must have broken during the upgrade to WLM 2011, maybe I should run repair?

    A removable disk does not work so I need to have more than one user to access pictures.

    Share photos AND catalogs (even having licenses for each user) has never been the purpose of the elements. The nearest way is limited to share a library as well as the catalogue on an external drive, by pluggin JEP alternately to each computer. It is common, when you use a desktop computer and a laptop computer at different times.

    Share photos only on the NAS for all users may be obtained using the SIN as a backup copy with software like Synctoy. If other users need not really the Organizer, but he can live with a traditional and hierarchical folder hierarchy, it will work.

    Hey!

    Thanks for getting back to me. I totally understand! The purchase of new products, get to know them, their customization and juggling with them can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it can be frustrating.

    It seems that the folder C: / drive has been defined for much smaller files. Without being able to physically see, I guess that your operating system, Recovery Manager and other system files are stored on your drive 256 GB or C: / drive.

    I suggest you use the 2 TB D: / drive to put all your photos and personal on such files that it is bigger and who may be appointed for you . Although it seems confusing, it is really a good thing!

Those who marked objects (can be click boxes, buttons, or text input boxes) who did get a score and you do not want to include in the total score can be edited here: uncheck the "Include in the score" and "Add altogether." You can even set these scores to 0. Sorry, having 5/5.5 on this system, terminology is maybe slightly different.
