Deleting a disk and Re assign disk space

They gave me a laptop Acer Aspire 3680 running on Vista. 80 GB HDD space is also divided a, C and D drive. Both drives are formatted NFTS. D drive has a folder labeled "Program Data". It is empty. When I go to disk management, click with the right button on the D drive, the drop down menu a 'remove' grayed. How can I remove the D drive and re assign disk space on drive C?

Hello

What is the complete the situation under the D drive in disk management?

Your D: drive is normally the recovery Partition that the manufacturer has put there for your computer to put it back to factory in the event of a system crash.

Contact the manufacturer of your computer on how to remove everything you have saved on the recovery disk because it is their recovery Partition.

You can try to format the drive, then try to delete the volume.  Check if this is useful.

Note: Before formatting the drive D: is it advisable to check with your computer manufacturer.

Contact the manufacturer of your computer about how to remove anything on recovery drive, as is the recovery Partition.

  • I get a widow in my lower toolbar that rpet low disk space, and when I click it to try to delete the old files, it does nothing... so what do I do... ?

    I get a window in my toolbar lower repeating me low disk space and when I click it to try to remove the old files, it does nothing... so what should I do to get rid of the files in a "D" file...?

    Please perform these steps and the back of the report.

    Click Start, click computer, and it will display your hard drives and their letters. Normally C: is your operating system and where everything is stored (user: files, programs, Documents, photos, etc.). The D: is your RECOVERY partition and contains a copy of the first installation of the plant. The D: is small, about 9 to 15 GB, depending on the version of Windows.

    For example, my C: displays 306 GB free (unused) 374 GB (hard disk capacity). D: shows 2.11 free 11.5 GB GB. This is normal for HP, Compaq and others. New HP (Win 7) include an E: with less than 1 GB of capacity, to store a program utility tools. These so-called hard disks are in fact partitions installed on a physical hard disk, but not to concern. The c: partition free space is your important answer. BeAware that the D: and E: (if you have the configuration described above, are never to be used as restore points, or your personal files, they are allocated by the manufacturer to support the reinstallation of the operating system.) My example shows that my C: partition made only 68GB used on the disc, 306 GB is free (unused) 374 GB capacity.

    (1) report with numbers, and you can be helped.

    (2) Vista writes copies ghosts of all your documents (previous versions of the files). These can take many GB.

    (3) when he gets less than 20 percent free, you start to have problems with the disk defragmentation. Less than 10% results in critical problems, the problems of performance and for the worse.

    (4) if the number of free GB is really a low disk space issue, you need to move some of the large data files (pictures, videos,...) out on CD or DVD.

    If it helps, let me know. I'm not a moderator, just a user trying to use simple language to help others.

  • Deletion of drive to the VM makes disk space disappear

    I'm new to esxi, then I've probably missed something obivous. But I'm running a Server Windows 2012, and I wanted to add a new hard drive for storage.

    I added a new 2 TB HDD (virtual disk new created, used thick Prov. and scsci), but then (for other reasons probably) it is a not introduce yourself in my server, little matter what I did, so I decided to remove the hard drive and then try again. And here's the problem, these 2 TB that I previously had been assigned but now deleted, moved from my data store. I expect the free space on the data store to increase these CT 2, I just deleted the virtual computer, but not... they are not there. I tried again, but with a smaller size this time (40GB if this is important) and deleted, same thing... disk space is not go back into the data store.

    Now, I guess I missunderstood, or more probably not clicked on something else which is necessary. That's why I'm here hoping for the support of you guys =)

    1. what should I do to get this "loss" space?

    2. (question bonus and sort of off topic) no idea as to why the new disk does not appear in my server Windows 2012? I did the same thing for freenas and he showed here.

    Thank you!

    When you have removed the disk you selected the option 'remove virtual machine and delete the files from disk '?  You will need to do a new analysis under storage to the reclaimed space.  Let me know if this helps.

    Mac HD 160,11 GB free on 499.25

    Hello

    My wife gave me his iMac and she is listed as a user Admin I created my own user. I want to create more disk space by removing his admin account.


    Apple gives these instructions:

    OS X Mavericks: remove a user

    If you are an administrator, you can remove users that you would no longer have access to your Mac.

    When you delete a user, you can save the home folder of the user, which contains the files and the settings of the user, or delete the folder.

    Open the preferences users and groups, and then click the lock icon to unlock it. If required, type your password, and then click on unlock.

    Select the user you want to remove, and then click Remove under the list of users.

    Do one of the following:

    To save the home folder of the user as a disc image, select "Save the home folder in a disk image." The disk image is saved in/Users/deleted users.

    In order to leave such base file, select "do not change the folder." The folder remains in / Users /.

    To delete the folder of your computer, select "Remove the folder." If you want to keep the programs that read the raw data to recover all files, select "delete the folder safely."

    Click on the user to remove.

    If you do not remove a personal folder user, you can restore the user and the content of the home folder.


    My questions, that they do not explain the instructions.

    1. can I delete his account if I'm not the Admin? I can access the admin account.

    2. can I designate me as the new admin, and then delete his account?

    3. I have, indeed, will create more disk space by removing account here?

    4. If I register his record as a disk image, which will open disk space without delete me the entire account?


    A technician Apple told me that I can not increase the memory of 8 GB to 16 GB on my vision.

    5. can't increase memory - is this true?

    My computer works as fast as I want and I'm trying to reduce the load on the system.

    6. I go about it the right way or is there something more I can do?

    Thank you

    Hi Tony, I asked your serial number erased. You never want to post in a public forum.

    To answer your question, no, you can not delete the account if you are not admin. You try to delete the account to become the sole Director of the computer? If so, everything will always be linked to his Apple ID and will require a password to authenticate anything. If this is the case, you must wipe the drive and reinstall the OS using internet recovery.

  • Help return to iPhoto + delete Photos library to recover disk space

    When the Photos were initially introduced, I didn't know what I would get in when I just clicked "convert to Photos" or whatever the wording was.

    A week in the new application I realized that it wasn't for me (lack of some key tools like iPhoto), so just started using iPhoto again instead

    -but only now I realize the new Photos app seems to be "hogging" lots of disk space:

    When I look under the images, I see my iPhotos current library clocking in at about 64GM.

    While the Photos library clocks (now are more used) in a 66GB even higher.

    My question: How do I clear all (assuming that duplicate) photos in Photos and get much needed storage space of hard drive?

    Is it save to just delete the folder from the library of Photos in my pictures folder or I have to delete all the photos in the Photos app?

    If you don't use Photos and has no pictures in you need to trash just the photo library - it will not save a lot of space because of the hard links that are used, but if you use any Photos, then there is no reason to keep the library autour and when you are ready to migrate again (you will need since iPhoto is not supported and an upgrade it) break)

  • Deleted but iPhoto library not disk space

    Hi guys,.

    -I'm on a Macbook pro with an upgrade end 2011 1 TB SSD (Crucial) on El Capitan

    - and just deleted my old iPhoto library (which was 420 GB) and emptied the Recycle Bin

    -Unfortunately has no free space, my photo library is 440 GB and the size of the Pictures folder has reduced 880 GB 460 GB

    - BUT my SSD (drive) is always also shows 120 GB of free space only. When I emptied the Recycle Bin only about 20 GB released instead of 420 Go

    I've tried so far:

    -waiting for Finder to catch up

    -empty the trash again

    -restart

    --redemarrer reboot into recovery mode, run disk utility, first aid

    -tried to copy a 200 GB file on the SSD drive to check if the space is truly free, showing everything simply does not, but he said not "enough space on the SSD.

    All suggestions and help very welcome!

    Thank you

    Daniel

    It's exactly what you expect.

    While iPhoto and the report of libraries of Photos using 400 concerts or more, it has the same 400 concerts. The two libraries called the original photos of their own through Unix hard links and share a few minor elements. So, screw up the iPhoto Library recovered space that was exclusively used by iPhoto only.

    Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  • Question of partition: partition and narrower than the disk space

    Hi, I have a big problem with OS X El Capitan 10.11.3.

    I used to have a Windows partition with bootcamp which I deleted via bootcamp, but it crashed.

    I lost all my partitions and even os x. I have therefore started in recovery mode and launched disk utility, I could not create a partition OS X 90Go on my 120 GB SSD, and I installed OS X on it. Once installed, I have tried to maximize the size of the partition in disk utility to the actual size of the SSD, but it wouldn't work. Worse still, it actually shows my OS X partition a 60 GB instead of 90... (we also say that change log has not been activated, I allowed him but nothing happened)

    How can I make my OS X partition as big as my SSD?

    Here are some pictures of the utility disc and occupied disk space.

    Try to launch the Boot Camp again to see if it will delete the partition. It acts like it doesn't have.

  • I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.

    I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

    I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.

  • can I delete old updates of windows to free up disk space?

    I was wondering if there is no safe way to remove old updates from windows on windows xp for free disk space.

    You can even if it is not recommended, you may move them to another location, like a flashdrive if disk space is a problem.

    "Uninstall folders that have (for example in the framework of the name
    $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window
    Hot Fix update of the folders/files) can be removed safely (providing you never)
    wish to uninstall updates). I recommend leaving these records for
    a period of at least a month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. Learn more
    on the update/s go to:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel,
    Add/Remove programs. Select the fix title corresponding Windows on the
    Update folder/file you just remove and select Remove. You will get a
    Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files.
    Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from Add/Remove programs
    List. »

    Important: Do not touch/move/delete or do anything with the record of $ $hf_mig. Leave only one.

    NB - the above applies only to Windows XP.
