D drive full.

I get a warning that drive D is full, which is. I try to vacuum by using disk cleanup. When I do this it always shows the trash that has little in it. Can you help me please? I don't know it's simple - I just need to create more space on D, so I don't get the warning. Currently, there is 4.95 MB free of 14.6 GB. Thank you.

Some computer manufacturers, including Dell and HP, have a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.

If it is your computer, there is nothing wrong, and you don't have to do anything.  Windows received a drive letter to the recovery partition, but nothing in the system it will access, and no matter that it is almost full.

If your D: drive is a recovery partition, I recommend that you remove the drive from her letter:

1. click on the Start button.
2 type diskmgmt.msc in the Search box and pressenter .
3. in the disk management , right click on the recovery partition.
4. click on paths of access and Change drive letter .
5. click on Remove .

    D drive full, clean only empty recycle bin. Help please.

    Hello

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

  • Pavilion x 2: recovery drive full, how to clean it?

    My computer keeps popping up an alert that tells me that my recovery disk is full. How to clean it? Even when I clean my C drive, he cleared only for a few weeks, then the alert on the recovery disk (D) is complete.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to simply move the folder - there will be too many other references to it (registry, etc).

    What I would say is to try to uninstall all software printer since entering programs and features (with a bit of luck, the uninstall routine will have the correct path) - If this is successful, restart the laptop.

    When windows rebooted, open the recovery partition D and Remove the Program Files (x 86) folder.

    Restart the laptop again.

    To restart, if everything looks now Ok - no space warning disk etc. - you can download the installation package of the printer at the following link.

    2 remove the temporary files. CCleaner is a great tool for this:
    (When you install, uncheck all the boxes that would otherwise install toolbars undesirable, etc..)
    [snipped]
    To the use

    CCleaner is a very good tool for this (I use it as well.)   Two small pieces if-

    (1) includes a registry cleaner.  You don't have to bother with that, because unless you know very well what you are doing, you may ruin the various programs.  cleaning the registry won't save much space at all, by any means.  (if you choose to ignore this ensure you allow ccleaner do a place back... but note that this will consume a bit more disk space for the back to the top!)
    (2) If you use MS Security Essentials for your antivirus application, ccleaner cleans up log files THAT MSE uses to keep track of your last scan.  you will warn you that it's been a while and you need to scan... to correct that, uncheck the Antimalware MS and MS Mgmt Console cleaning application ccleaner section.
  • HP Pavilion dv6-2127el: hard drive full error test

    Hello.

    my laptop has recently a few teething problems, either when the bios starts (led will blink twice), either during the loading of Windows. The problem seems to happen especially the first time that I turn it on during the day, when I try 6-10 times before starting properly.

    I reinstalled the OS and nothing has changed. I did the diagnostic system and I got an error on the full Test of the hard drive:

    all other tests passed.

  • The computer does not see the printer (4200 Officetjet) after downloading the driver full features

    Officetjet 4215xi, Windows 7-64.

    Try to use the original HP CD-ROM driver was unsuccessfil, message telling him did not meet the requirements.  Then, I chose to install the driver directly from Windows 7.

    After installing that shows to be successful (the impressions of the printer), I wanted to get the center of HP solutions on the computer and I downsloaded the driver, choose Officetjet 4210 (4215 wasn't a choice available).

    It seems that the installation has been done, there is an icon on the desktop but when clincking it says that the printer is not connected.

    I unplug the USB cable, restart the computer and replugged the USB at the back of the printer.  No results.

    How can I work around this problem.  Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    The HP Officejet 4615xy is no longer included with the full functionality of feature for Windows 7.

    Any driver you may have used is not intended for your printer and not detect...

    You can find the information for your printer below:

    I'm afraid that plenty of advanced features as the HP solution Center is not available for the operating system...

  • receive alerts that C Drive full - what files can I delete/move to free up space?

    I get alerts that my drive c (20 GB) is full, while my d drive has enough free space (160 GB).

    I already deleted the unnecessary programs, but which has not addressed the problem.

    My Documents are mapped to the d drive (where there is enough space) but when you look at the contents of the c drive, I noticed there is more than 5 GB of space used in the My Documents folders on drive c (hidden files for the most part, etc.).

    Can anyone help with solutions to this problem?
