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.

    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:

    First of all, please note that you are confusing memory with disk space. The term 'memory' is used to designate the place where the computer contains the program and data, that it is working with at the moment. It is normally a memory (RAM), but which can be extended with the page or swap hard disk file. The word 'memory' is never used to refer to the space on a drive (if it is a hard drive, floppy disk, CD, DVD or thumb drive). Space on a hard disk is normally called "storage" or simply "disk space".

    Call for 'memory' disk space is not so wrong that just unconventional. In a sense, the disk space is, of course, memory, but the important thing to realize is that the word is never used in this way, and if you do, you do so at the risk of seriously confuse your audience.

    So, since you get a "low disk space" message , please tell us what is your hard drive, how it it used and how much is free.

    Second, do * not * run a registry cleaner! Registry cleaning programs are * all * snake oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Let alone register and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what software record cleaning providers are trying to you convince to have used the registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit it may have.

    and also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns against the use of registry cleaners has never said that they always cause problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it the essential * risk * to have a problem. And since there is no advantage to using a registry cleaner, running the risk is a very bad deal.

  • Firefox thinks that I don't have enough disk space and cancels the download when it is almost finished.

    So, recently, I was downloading a pretty huge file for a game (4.5 gigabytes), and it was almost over, when an error emerged, saying there wasn't enough disk space for Firefox to download the file. At the time, I had just enough disk space to download the file (Yes, I checked and made sure). Download became unresumable, and I was incredibly annoyed to find that I had to download it again, because my download speed is not very good at all. I put in the night and noted where he stopped, and in the morning, when I checked it, he stopped at the EXACT SAME place, which is at about 4.1/4.5 GB. I did a lot more room since then and I am downloading for the third time now. If this happens again, how can I solve this problem? Thank you.
    In addition, it is a .dat file. I don't know if this has an impact any on what can cause this, but if anyone knows anything, please let me know.

  • Have no disk space in Vista and cannot locate the files to the origin of this

    At first when I noticed that my hard drive was full that I followed the tips shown on the wire "A NO DISK SPACE" by Rajesh S.  After doing all that I gained about 1 GB of space back.  I'm on Internet Explorer, ventured to a few sites, remove the brower and closed browser history.  Check how much space was left and the 1 GB has been reduced to 125MB.  Angry, I compressed my C:.  That's when I noticed several files (.swf, .htm, .mp4, .flv, and .png) that should have been deleted, but were not.  After the decompression the C: understood under what his screenname located.

    Now my problem is that I had a general situation where they should be, but when I explored the region I couldn't find no trace files.  I even ran a search later on one of the files I copied down and could not take his foot. (I am the admin of this cpu).
