Dates & hard drive space

Hello

I'm new on some of this so please keep that in mind. I have Windows 7 Professional and I keep it updated. But the updates begin to gnaw hard disk space. When I am updating some of my software, a message appears indicating the former is eliminated and replaced by the new. But I would say that this is not the case with Windows. Can someone tell me how to remove old updates from my system to keep my c minimum disk space? Don't forget that I'm a bit of a newbe to this. Thank you

Open computer and right click on the C drive, select Properties.

On the Tools tab, click Disk Cleanup and it will scan the disk for a minute or two. Once finished, click clean system files and it will do so again.

This time, it will provide a list of the classes of the file to be deleted, including files archive update. You must be satisfied with the State of the system as a whole, because once you do that, you can't cancel an update.

  • I lose a hard drive space every day on my Windows 7 computer

    My computer is barely a month.  I only put on about 6 programs, all with small footprints.  I transferred to about 70 GB of files.  I know that the system uses the memory out of the box, but even with all that taken into account, that I can't take into account more than 40 GB of space and the amount increases every day.

    I was check and each day I lose a few GB of hard drive space.  Where's he going?  There is much info on Vista and some of its features that uses a hard disk space, I guess than some that apply to Windows 7.  But seriously, for example I lost 2GB between yesterday and today, and I have absolutely nothing to the computer.

    Clean temporary files and use Disk Cleanup to reclaim space.  But it is usually minimal and it does not take into account what I lose.  I have the system to restore all of the space to a fairly small percentage.  In summary, I think I have everything correct in order to minimize the use of hard drive, but the space is to be consumed at an alarming rate.  No virus, MSE is on the system and did not find a thing.

    Where the hell the space continues?  I am glad that I have a large hard drive, so there is move the room, but it's ridiculous to have disk space available endangered on its own.  I don't know that it's associated BONE.  Thoughts?

  • Many disappear from the hard drive space

    Hello

    Recently I factory reset my computer and proceeded to put some of my old files save them on the computer. Some of the files were games, but I realized that I couldn't play without resettlement of their records. I was unable to uninstall properly an any of them, so I just deleted files - but I noticed after I had deleted the files that I had lost more (about 30-40 GB worth) hard disk space

    When I went to reinstall these games of their records, I found that they were taking about three times as much space as they said they would be (for example, it said it would take up to about 3.5 GB of space, but it ended up taking 11 concerts of my DD)

    Since then, I've lost an another 30 concerts without doing anything.

    Is there a reason for this? I scanned my computer for any sort of malware with two different anti virus systems, and they all come in white. I have two firewalls running as well, so I highly doubt that it is malware.

    I managed to solve the problem.

    System Restore has been fixed to raise as much as 50% of my hard drive space. I have since lowered to a more reasonable amount and have obtained a large part of the rear of space SD, and I at least know where the rest. Thank you very much for the help.

  • My (C) hard drive space becomes low. What can I do?

    Hello

    My Windows Update is set to the recommended level. (C) hard drive space becomes low and other drives (E, F, G) have enough space. What happens if the C drive space comes to level down while Windows Update is taking place. The minimum amount of space have stand to drive C? How to manage the process?

    Your cooperation will be appreciated.

    Thanks & Rgds,

    You really need to think about 15%, a minimum of free space on the disk.

    Your 1st task is to try to identify the cause of the lack of space. Things like music, photos and especially video may gradually creep on you.

    TreeSize here is quite useful to work where space is gone.

    Libraries can be moved. Expand 1st level of etiquette in the left pane to display the top folder and right-click. The location of the tab, you can change the location of one of the empty discs and it will copy all files when you click on move. If you have more than one user, it is best to create a record of the user for each group and then do it for each of them. Don't forget to check the new location is included in all of the backups.

    Also use disk cleanup too. Open the computer, right click on the C drive, and then click Properties. Click Disk Cleanup. For more options in the result, click on the option of system files and see what you can get rid of.

  • Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Is there a reason to save the two versions?  The NAVE seems to have no further use other than too much hard drive space.

    Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Why save versions when the DNG is the original and the NAVE seems to just take remote hard drive space?

    I see no reason to keep them, they take a lot of space, one of the reasons to convert to DNG is that they are almost 20% smaller than the ships.

    But it is of course your choice...

  • Bridge takes a lot of hard drive space

    Hello world

    IM new to this forum and new also for Photoshop CS6 and everything that surounds it.

    I had a small question which may be simple to you guys but its been annoys me a bit

    I work with bridge this morning and import pictures in it. Then I looked at my hard drive space and he was down about 5 GB. I do not change or do anything special, just imported photos so it would be easier when I start using PS CS6. Is it normal when I import images that it takes up little space on my hard drive. I thought that the bridge was used only to create a link between my photo file and Psalm I then tried to remove the images in Bridge to see if space would come back available, but it didn't. Anyone? Please help me to answer my questions?

    Thank you

    PS: I have 164 GB of free space on my hard drive, if it helps. Thanks again

    What you see is normal.  Once you import pictures Bridge generates a cache file, then you can disply a thumbnail.  Delete the picture will still retain the thumbnail, which is the function of compact cache.

    The options you choose depend on the size of the cache.   Embedded thumbnails takes less space.  If you check generate and save previews of 100% that will really increase the size of the cache folder.

    See this thread for more information on the cache.  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1094509?TSTART=0

  • Mac OSX 10.11.5: Lack of 50 GB of hard drive space

    A few months (maybe a year), I used Bootcamp to create a partition on my Mac Windows. Today, I decided to use Bootcamp to delete said partition again. It worked well until it abruptly stopped Bootcamp, saying: the partition could not be deleted. I looked at my memory and saw that the partition has not been restored to my original HD. So now, Miss me about 50 + gigabytes of data.

    Here's what diskutil said.

    Disk utility does not list the missing partition. I lost the 50 concerts for ever?

    Hey Jeremiah-OOP.

    It seems that you went to delete the Bootcamp partition, but the utility has failed during the process. Now in disk utility, the Bootcamp partition does not appear but your primary partition is always smaller and lack of space that used to be under the partition Bootcamp.

    Let's take a look at this article: disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

    Expand a volume

    If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

    To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device.

    WARNING: When you delete a volume, all data thereon is erased. Don't forget to back up your data before you start.

    You may need to use disk utility to expand your primary volume to take advantage of all the hard drive again.

    Take care!

  • Hard drive space

    I have a Satellite 1730 CDT with Windows Millennium. When you use the notebook for the first time, I could choose between the version in Dutch, French or English. I use Dutch.
    Total memory of the hard drive is 5.5 GB. But the hard disk shows a memory of only 0.5 GB. There's not a lot of programs on the hard drive, only MS Works.
    Is it possible that the French and English versions are always hard disk? And I can remove them by using the systemrecovery disc?

    Hi rob.jager,

    I found the information on the pages of Microsoft, Windows Me does not have need around 320 MB on your hard drive. So there must be some other stuff on it.

    Using your recovery disc are not required of all data will be deleted (so Don t forget to back up important data). Maybe this will help.

    If this is not the case, perhaps that the available memory is not displayed correctly. Installation of some programs to see how much space it actually is.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite C660: HARD drive space shows only 20 GB of free?

    Toshiba Satellite c660 with 320 GB of disk space, it shows that 2 hard drives or 2 partitions, one called data shows only 20.6 GB of free on 148, but when I go in there I can only find at maximum approximately 50 GB even with all the backups?

    Hello

    There are more partitions on the HARD drive.
    You can see it in disk management.
    Right click on computer and select manage.
    Now you should be able to go to the disk management which will show you all the available partitions.

    A hidden partition is used for the Windows 7 backup files that are needed to fix the Windows 7 in the case where something goes wrong with the OS.
    Then, you can find a Windows partition and the other partition is used for HARD drive recovery. The point is that you are able to run the system recovery from the HARD drive without the use of the recovery disc (recover disk must be created using the recovery disc creator)

  • MacBook Air missing hard drive space

    I noticed that the free space on the hard drive on my Macbook Air has been quickly disappear even if I had not been adding lots of new files, certainly not enough to account for the 10s of gigabytes that disappeared last week. I cleaned it of useless media files, which gives him another 20 GB of space. The status bar it reflects accurately at first, but when I started the computer this morning, it had lost 30 GB of this adjustment.

    After you run WhatSize DaisyDisk, I see that they have both claim that my Air uses Go 296, which is in agreement with the about this Mac, but when you look at the size of the actual folders, there is no way that they measure is added to this amount.

    Using Get Info, I got the following:

    14.43 applications gb

    Users 42,45

    System of 7.77

    Library of 8.95

    That all adds up to about 74 GB of used space. WhatSize actually gives me different numbers. Where in the world are the other 220 or so lack of gbs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    (Note: although I typed this out, I noticed that about 8 GB of free space have disappeared in the status bar)

    Here are a few screenshots of WhatSize and disk utility. Of THE claims that 'other' includes 283 GB, but I can't understand what is included in whatever measure it as 'other '.

  • Conversion of QuickTime is eating hard drive space?

    So I thought I'd go through some old video files on an external drive, so when I found and tried to open them by default - open with Quicktime Player because they were .mov files. But when opening them that forced me to convert first, which took some time, but it was very good. After viewing the file, I have it closed and he could be invited to record the conversion, but I said no every time.

    Dozens of video clips later, I received a warning that my hard drive is running out of space even though I was not downloading anything. Of course, I'm up to 1 GB, even if I don't know I got a lot more than this, perhaps 20, but at least 10gbs before starting. I don't know Quicktime is somehow to blame, and whenever I try to open a .mov file and it begins to convert, I actually see my free disk space down a bit like 1.35 GB GB 1.06 to 53KO to zero bytes. However, now it crashes towards the end by saying: he can't open the clip, even if the conversion is almost over, and then my disk space back to about 1.35 GB. However, on my most recent test it is simply suspended zero byte. I quit the program and am currently stuck at zero-byte and get the impossible to open again message clip.

    I was able to open the same .mov files in VLC without problem. I tried to use OmniDiskSweeper to find where these ghosts files could be but nothing extraordinary appears. I can't find all the physical files that QuickTime can be created on my hard drive, unless I'm looking in the wrong places...

    I'm currently under OSX Yosemite v10.10.5 and Quicktime v10.4.

    If someone could help me please understand this point, I would be very happy. Thanks for reading this.

    If someone could help me please understand this point, I would be very happy.

    To start, I remember not where temporary files of conversion are stored by the system or if this location varies for different operating systems from the user. Basically, the problem is self-inflicted. When you refuse to save the file after the conversion, the reference of the source file ends up stored in your list of 'Récent' without for as much free disk space used to store the converted data. Try to access the data already converted via the "open the recent item" option will restart just another conversion of the same file. On the other hand, you had actually stored the converted file, you may have deleted or moved to an external drive for future use. Fortunately, if your system works like mine, there may be another way to reclaim the space for temporary storage consumed by conversions without having to know where temporary data is stored. Simply try to empty your "Récent" list by pressing the option "delete". Then watch the space window of Finder reading for a short period, while to see if the OS is recover storage space that has been allocated to the converted data. It worked for me under El Capitan, when I reset my normal 'None' setting return to the default value of '10' and ran some tests to try to reproduce your problem.
