  • 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.

  • Can I safely delete the "Old files Firefox" file from my laptop?

    within this file is this one: 7tmo2rs4.default

    It contains a lot of files, including sqlites

    Hi fourtwojaw, the old data of Firefox folder is created or updated when you use Refresh in Firefox. The semi-randomly-named folder inside contains your old settings, which some have been preserved in the refresh (such as bookmarks) and some are only in this folder. If you have not noticed something important missing, you can remove the folder, but I suggest allowing a few weeks because you will not notice the loss immediately.

  • I installed Windows 7 on a Vista machine. I want to delete the old files of Vista but system requires the permission of Mike-PC\Mike to make changes to this file. How can I get this permission?

    I am convinced that the old program gives me a message about more than 500 fonts are installed everytime I open a works file.  This is my understanding of Windows 7 there is no limit on the installed fonts.  The old Vista file is more than 90 GB.  I already a copy of the file on a separate drive if something of him is never necessary.

    If the Windows.old folder, the best way to remove it is with disk cleanup.

  • Delete the old log files from IDS4210

    Is it possible to delete the old files of the IDM event log? If this is not the case, what is the best way to remove them.

    Thank you

    Maged

    By default, the old log files are deleted automatically because the system fills the disk and the file age.

    You can manually "clean" by using the following procedure:

    Sign in as netrangr and cd in the/usr/nr/var directory.

    Run idsstop

    dump/usr/bin/RM-f / * errors / * iplog / * iplog/news / * iplog/dumpster / * new / * log.* erreur.*

    Win7 RC is pleased and I want to delete records from his drive to free up space.

    I took possession of the folder (including subfolders) windows and my account is an administrator with full control account, BUT when I try to delete the old directory of windows first it says I need give permission, I click on continue, she goes through the files, and then a box indicates that I need permission from account owner Joan to continue.

    I'm logged into this account. This account is me, but when I click on continue, it says access denied.

    It's the same with the old directory program files.

    I can't delete, or the old directory of users.

    If so, use it "Folder Options" in the control panel.

    To all the "hidden files" readable.

    You say that you are the administrator, you should be able to do.

    You also try to remove Vista, as well?

    6. Select all the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

      • Ntuser.ini

    7. Click the Edit menu and then click on copy.

    10. Sign out and then sign back in as a new user.

  • Can I delete the old name of properties?

    In Adobe Captivate 8, I created a group. Then I went to properties and baptized. I made a change to the Group and thought that I deleted the old name of properties. However, when I try to give the same name to Captivate 8 properties says I can't. Where can I delete the old name of properties?

    Thank you

    I'm sorry, that Captivate memory can be very stubborn. For most of the names, even if the object with the name has been deleted, you can not reuse them. They are stored in memory "file."

    There are a few exceptions (such as shared action names), but groups is no exception. My solution: change one of the characters of a capital, or insert underscore. Almost the same name.

  • Web publishing by publishing the OLD file?

    This is hard to explain, because it seems to defy logic.

    I did an authorware project. During the creation process, I published the web regularly see the changes. Great! No prob! However, when I finally made the last changes and settings, when I published, it maintains publication of the version that existed BEFORE I made the most recent changes. When I play in the authorware environment, it's OK. When I saw the Web page after the publication, I see the OLD version.

    I detached the file settings. Published again. He published the old file.

    I have "saved as"another file. " Published again. He published the OLD file.

    I even DELETED the original file. He published the DELETED version.

    I posted on another computer! You guessed it! He published a version that doesn't even exist anymore!

    I'm obviously missing something... a "cache" or something I don't know?... Can someone help me?

    Jeff

    Dear Jeff,

    The solution is to ask your crazy question on a discussion forum. The authorware program will wait until you make a fool of yourself. Then, the next time you post, it will work, in spite of doing nothing differently from the previous 25 times. Just an info!
