Disk space decreases every day :/

My C drive memory decreases day by day, on which I have installed windows. I did install a new application or a file downloaded, but memory decrease. What could be the problem is it due to windows updates?

You can use Disk Cleanup to recover space on the hard drive.  Watch clean some old points system restore via disk cleanup that frees a lot of space for you.  Run the program on a regular basis, not once a year.

  • Loss of disk space available every day as System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive

    My PC is under Windows7 Home Premium... version 6.1... Build 7601... service pack 1.

    I have a 1 TB hard drive... 3 weeks ago, I've had approximately 813 gb free space... now, I have only 603 gb of free space. I noticed that the folder System Volume Information is passed to 209,53 Go. Don't know why this issue became so great. I lost about 5 to 20 GB of free space on the hard disk every day.

    The System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive... Users folder is 43.38 GB... Windows folder is 31.89 GB... WinSxS folder is 15,18 GB.

    I installed a couple of applications in the last 6 months... Driver booster... Download App... and size of file.

    I didn't save my PC in the last 3 weeks because of this problem.

    The only application that I use for backup is MotoCast USB... it creates a backup of the SD card in my smartphone to my PC.  I've been backup card SD in my phone every 3-4 weeks for the past 2 years but never lost so much hard drive space until the last 3 weeks.

    Any suggestions?

  • Satellite A215-S7422: free space on the HARD disk decreases every day

    Hello everyone,

    Hi I'm alex.

    I've owned a computer laptop "SATELLITE A215-S7422.
    I got 147 GB of my hard disk drive memory, I got 119 free space but as I noticed it is constantly down even if I do not download anything.

    When I saw this first I try to get it back to the factory setting and I had 128 GB of free space, and every day it is significantly down.

    Everything I do is look at you tube.

    Can someone explain to me what is happening and what I can do about it...

    It would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    There is a simple explanation why HARD disk space decreases each time while watching Youtube videos
    The video stream is always stored on the HARD drive in the internet files folder and in time.

    So from time to time, it would be desirable to remove these files and to clean the folder of files over time.
    I use the CCLeaner. It is free software and can be downloaded from different pages. Google simply
    This program is very useful. It cleans the HARD drive and removes the garbage all registry.

    You should test.

  • Disk space decreases in VM

    Hello.

    I have a Win7 and XP - VM host.

    When I copy and paste the form VM - XP to Win7-host decreases the space in my host and I have to manually clean the file c:\users\ < username > \AppData\Local\Temp\vmware-< username > \VMwareDnd .

    But when I copy and paste from Win7-host of the virtual XP machine - VM disk space decreases too and I got a space error output.

    What is the file that I have to clean in XP - VM?

    Thank you.

    For Windows XP, you can copy and paste the %TEMP%\VMwareDnD into the Windows Explorer address bar and press ENTER.

    Or for example: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\VMwareDnD

    Also make sure you have enough free space in the file systems operating system invited to copy the size of the files you are copying even after deletion of VMwareDnD which is supposed to automatically fade

  • My disk space decreases for no apparent reason!

    I have a Gateway with Windows Vista laptop.  I tried to clean up disk space using disk cleanup, deletion of temp. files from the Internet and even delete programs and files I don't use.  For some reason, the amount of free space on my C drive keeps getting smaller and smaller!  Is it because I have a virus download programs and taking up space?  I'm not add additional programs or files.

    For example, earlier today, I had 2 GB of free space left, and I noticed its been slowly decreasing.  I'm at 435 MB as I write this.

    Can someone help me?

    Hi John,.

    The usual culprit is the system restore. Have you tried to disable the system restore to see if you have new space that you lost? See this link from my Web site: http://www.winuser.co.uk/windows_vista_faq/11_turn_off_system_restore.html

    System Restore will have up to 15% of your disk space when creating restore points, so he can easily eat disk space on hard disks that are already full. By disabling the system restore can back space for you, once you re-enable the system restore then fresh restore points will be created (i per day) and the space will start to disappear again. Personally I disable restoring the system completely on my machine, but I don't have a regular regime of imagery of my hard drive using Acronis True Image (not free, unfortunately) just in case of problems

  • Does hibernation consumes more disk space on every hibernation?

    I know that hibernation takes disk space, but need more on every hibernation?

    Hi Joseph,.

    Thanks for joining us on the Microsoft Community forums.

    Hibernation and system restore are features that help users to restore their system or avoid the loss of data, in a number of situations, such as low battery (hibernation), misapplication or other corruption machine installation (System Restore). Combined, these devices consume a large percentage of the footprint. Due to the amount of space these use, they are easy to identify and to make decisions regarding.

    Hibernate is mainly used on laptop computers and saves your work on the hard drive, and puts the computer in a low power state.  Hibernate is used on laptop computers when the battery runs out under a certain threshold, or to turn off the computer without using Shut Down to save the batteries as much as possible.  On Windows Vista, hibernation is automatically used with sleep on desktop computers to keep a backup of open programs and work. This feature is called hybrid sleep and is used to save the State in case of power failure hard disk when the computer sleeps.  Hibernate all content in RAM (living) writes a file named Hiberfil.syshard disk.  Therefore, the size of the reserved Hiberfil.sys is equal to the amount of RAM in the machine.  In Windows Vista, the amount of RAM under construction in computers has increased significantly, as well as the footprint of disk hibernation is more sensitive than before. This space should be reserved in advance in order to ensure that, in a critical situation of low battery, the system can easily write contents of memory to disk.  Any user of mobile PC who has known his incoming computer automatically hibernation when the battery is very low allows to enjoy the peace of mind provided by the growth of the footprint.

  • Disk space decreases more than 60 GB when I open a 50 MB file.

    Hi guys,.

    Having trouble with a PS file. It takes a few minutes to open and perform all the tasks that require a lot of memory takes forever, or throws an error 'drive to work '. When he opened it takes more than 60 GB of hard drive space. It can basically not be worked on.

    There is nothing particularly remarkable about the file, as mentioned that the size of the file is 50 MB - this is a basic design of Web page which consists mainly of the text and buttons, with only a few (rasterized at 72 dpi) images. There are a lot of layers, which is the only thing I can think of that might cause the file to be slow and unresponsive.

    If anyone has experienced anything similar and has ideas on how to solve this problem, I would be very happy suddenly hand.

    Thank you

    Jack

    Thanks Trevor,

    I ended up duplicating all the layers in the problematic file into a new file, which does not help much, but a clean reinstall of the PS seems to have done the trick.

  • 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?

  • Disk space remaining time 0 days... but what VMs.

    Hi all.

    I installed the VAPP for VCOPS is about 2 weeks and continues through he's trying to learn it.

    I was looking at the warnings and try to get health upward.   Most of the things are clickable, but for that I can't figure out what/where to go.

    If I highlight something on the left (my vCenter for me), then go to the planning on the right, then the views.

    I find a lot of things RED.  For example, if I choose 'Ability to Virtual Machine', then down I see next to "Disk space" that I have the time that remains "0 days."

    Also that 27 of my virtual machines are more.   I can't figure out how to find just what VMs that is.

    I have attached a screenshot showing the screen page.

    5.7.1 vCops build 1166139

    Thank you very much.

    If you use the admin account from vCenter for the collector of vCOps, perms are probably not a problem here. vCenter creds are used only to collect data from vCenter, and to access user acts as a degree of transmission for advanced access to the USER interface. Whatever it is, I don't think it's an immediate question since you are using your administrator account.

    1. instant space on a virtual computer will count just use of disk space. After a certain age it is even considered as a waste (configurable, default 180 days).

    2. who would absolutely have an impact on the accuracy of what vCOps sees. vCOps needs to see all the virtual machines on a store of data and giving only even if partial access through vCenters can cause serious situations of angle with these #s of planning. I recommend that you add the 2nd vCenter to vCOps for monitoring to help to clean up, but you can find that data warehouses are the same signature, but with "possibly" differing vCOps resource name - see what it does in your case. When you migrate computers virtual to the new vCenter, he'll gen new unique identifiers for resources and you will lose your historical data for those VMs. The virtual machines in the new vCenter will be collected as long as new resources and collect measures under this new resourceid... the old resource and associated metrics will be left to age with the rest of your data.

    How long until the migration is complete? Until you get your warehouses of data cleaned and VMs on them fully visible to vCOps, I think that the #s will be a little off.

  • Amount of disk space available on the disk hard keeps fluctuating.

    I have a Compaq CQ2103WM-B desktop running Windows XP, hard disk Go 139.  I started to receive notices of high memory use, began to receive notices of disk space is low. I ran the cleaning disc several times, it has been very slow, constantly showing only 2 bars, sometimes for hours. He finally released the space and I have deleted several programs and files, emptied the trash. After a few minutes the amount of free space started going down again. For several days, I kept repeating this process, but keep decreases the amount of free space on the disk. Now, it fluctuates to the amount of free space on the disk every few minutes. I downloaded and ran CCleaner, it frees up space and again it has disappeared in a few minutes. He got so low that I can't watch videos, use system restore, download other software or software upgrades (like Norton), cannot download pictures from my camera or save files in programs such as Corel Draw. Right now is 3.97 MB free space, he went down in the KBs, sometimes it goes up, but it changes even if I do nothing. I scanned for viruses and malware, Norton managed to reach space, but it lasted only a few minutes. I don't know anything else to try. Would it be a software problem, the malware that Norton cannot detect, the hardware, or if my system has been hacked and someone uses free space on my computer? Any information would be appreciated.

    In disk clean up, look for the button "other options" above I think it is, go to the

    the bottom of the next page, look for "System Restore" cleaning, this eliminates all but the last

    restore, and then mount the disk clean up. In addition, with a 139 GB hd, you must also have video/music

  • Hidden file containing system 70 GB of disk space, even by showing hidden files reveal what who or where he is.

    I just noticed today that I have only 5 GB of disk space. After checking the properties of all the directories on that drive, I can determine that about 70 GB has been lost.

    I followed the post here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaperformance/thread/93892180-aa3f-4cd3-90a9-87d6aca6ddca

    and it made no difference.

    I don't know I have no viruses because my PC is completely swept every day, I also run Diskeeper Pro in order to reduce the fragmentation (this one works permanently).

    I deleted all my Windows and application event logs, and this too made no difference.

    As indicated in the title, I have exposed system files etc. and always impossible to find what.

    Just to reiterate, checking the properties of each folder to root quite well shows the use of the disc I expect, if I check the properties of the root of C:, it shows 5 GB free.

    I am running Vista + SP2, Avira AV, Comodo Firewall, Diskeeper 2010 Pro.

    If your computer works normally without any problem follow these steps: right-click (c) click on disk cleanup, wait... click More Options, click on clean for the system restore and shadow copies. Now check the free space.
