Disk space issues

Hello, I discovered this problem, try to install some programs, I got the message "Complete startup disk" pop - up so I opened the storage news. As you can see in the picture 'Other' section is supported of the disc space. I have no idea of what occupies as much memory, I don't have knowledge of downloading something that could be taken of this huge amount of GB.

Another thing, the 108.7 MB of free space keeps changing everytime I open the storage info. As soon as he was 458 MB and 5 MB once.

OS X El Capitan

Version 10.11.1

iMac (21.5 inch, at the end of 2013)

Some time, I had a similar problem, discovered a game controller that I had installed software for my fill error logs and filling of the hard drive. You can check the logs and see how much space they use.

  • disk space issues: How can I find out which components of the operating system I use is more to free additional disk space?

    HI: I have problems with disk space; I went to Windows Help and read that if I go into Add/Remove programs who said I could remove programs or components of operating system I no longer use. I remove some programs that I don't use anymore, but I do not know what operating system components I should delete!  Little help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Before you remove the services I would remove all but the most recent backup and restore point.  Then make a disk for temporary files Cleanup Wizard.  You can make you smaller file page, if you do not use put into hibernation, you can save 4-8 space gigis.

  • 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.

  • Compacting files: I get the message, "not enough disk space.

    Compaction stops, a message on "not enough disk space. I tried to delete the .msf file and also delete "inbox." Nothing works.

    The kind of details that really your search does not exist. Once I looked for something similar and some of these topics, I'm still trying to learn more.

    But I can offer some advice.

    IMAP. Words like Subscribe riffle and quota, inherent to the IMAP protocol and are not terms that you will find are defined in Thunderbird, or he has documentation. They are defined terms in the IMAP protocol, see RFC 3501

    Their isn't a such thing as a remote folder, but IMAP is synchronized. essentially local copies of the mail are a cache to speed up performance, although there are options for do not keep local copies. My experience is that it's slow. I'm assuming that IMAP, it is that what you call remote folders.

    Size limits on technical terms are difficult. Historically, Thunderbird has a limit of 4 GB per file. This has been deleted way back to IMAP. local POP e-mail accounts and local folder still have the limit, or at least bug if you exceed the limit. Whenever the developers think they killed the bugs, another arises.

    What files are compacted. Why all of them! Compaction has a dual purpose. In IMAP account it purge deleted mail from the server (a permanent deletion) locally the large amounts of wasted space are compacted to recover used space again by mail folders as being deleted. The physical elimination of the deleted mail only occurs during compact.

    Remove folder is as simple as right clicking them and selecting Remove. Some special folders and the local folders account space simply cannot be deleted.

    There is a manual here http://en.flossmanuals.net/Thunderbird/ but I do not think that it deals with the issues you have raised.

    Hello

    There is a partition of 3rd extra that is not visible!
    The 3rd partition is automatically created y Vista and it contains the Vista backup files that can be used as a last resort!
    If something goes wrong with the operating system, and then Vista can be restored and repaired using the files on that partition.

    I think that means Tempro this partition.

  • Satellite L750 - disk space to level critical

    Hello

    1st post please be nice and not too techie!
    I just bought a new Satellite L750 computer laptop and loaded onto my iTunes file and some photos. The specification on the laptop says hard drive 500 GB, but I'm getting meesages warning saying
    Disk space to level critical

    Toshiba TEMPRO issued an alert that your stored data has now reached 90% or more of its capacity.
    The data says that Windows (c) disc 37.1 GB free of 232 GB which is 90% I guess. But the data (D) 218 GB free of 233 GB

    What happens when I use all the space on drive C? It flows more on D drive?

    What I have to do something, if so what? Simple tech not talk please!

    Thank you

    Dennis

    Have you tried to spend 20 or more GB of data on the D partition to see if the message will be gone?

    Anyway, in my opinion there is no reason to panic. TEMPRO is nice tool but sometimes can be confusing too.
    Maybe it sounds stupid now, but you can remove the system or simply stop in autostart so it does not start with windows more.

  • I'm on windows vista, the review said that I have a file that uses disk space

    I 'm on windows vista the healthcheck says I have a file using disk space, the file name is windows.old, if I just delete this, then it will hurt my laptop, I looked at the file and there are thousands of articles, my laptop is slow, what I'm doing. My system is 32 bit. Will someone please advise me in laymans terms I'm not exactly a pro with laptops.


    The Windows.old subfolder contains all of the files from a previous installation of Windows. If you copied all your personal data of the user subfolder of windows.old. Then, it is safe to delete.
    And, since it is the Windows Update forum, which focuses on the update of the issues, this question must be validated in a more appropriate forum. Such as the
    Maintenance forum and performance of Vista.

    WOW Thanks to all the kind people who responded to my problem with free space on my C: drive. OK, the info on my pc space used 74.0 GB... 444 MB free... 74.5 ability of. If I run Disk Clean Up it will release 832 KB. Now that my daughter left for College, I deleted itunes off this pc.

    Hello

    ITunes is on the computer there is a good possibility you are right about the
    video files and music. Launch Windows Media Player which will show you what is available
    through it however it probably will show not everyone.

    It will show you how disk space is being used.

  • dual-boot apps and saving disk space

    I remember there was a trick to save disk space during dual-boot installation of applications on the same location on both operating systems, although it did not always work due to its location different %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto in Windows 9 X and XP. Was this something more to the other case pointing to the directory \program files on the C drive instead of the D drive? It's been a while since I used it and I think that I forgot something important. As the problem of recycling bin.

    In addition, at - it someone remind if one of the following conditions has had problems using the trick?

    Applications:
    Open Office 2.42 (latest version 98, I could just installing OO3 place)
    Office 97 (might install Office 2003 instead, I like it better and it can read the docx)
    WinRAR
    Printing 5.0 (version of Windows 95, will not install on Vista on my other machine, but works under virtualPC)

    Games:
    all games of the Infinity Engine (Baldur's Gate series) and Icewind Dale series
    Final Fantasy VII (FF7)
    Final Fantasy VIII (FF8)
    Pool of Radiance: ruins of Myth Dranor (reflection, with the issues surrounding this match, I don't try, I'll just boot 98)

  • I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d

    I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d. I 26 gig on the d drive and only using less than 1% of it, and I have the same amount on c, but only 39% c left. How to do this.

    LEM explained the problems that you tried to resize partitions on the same drive.

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    You can generate more space in the system (usually C) the folder move partition.

    For temporary Internet files, select Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, temporary Internet files. Settings and move back.

    To move the storage folder Outlook Express select from Outlook Express Tools, Options, maintenance, store folder and change.  http://www.tomsterdam.com/insideoe/files/store.htm.

    How to change the default location of the My Documents folder: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310147

    You may also change the default locations of the files in Microsoft Office programs when you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word, go to tools, Options, file locations, highlight the Documents, click on edit and change the path. For Excel, go to tools, Options, general, and change the default path.

    My Documents is one of the many the created system of special folders, which include my pictures, and my music. It can be more easily modified using TweakUi. Download TweakUI, one of MS powertoys, here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

    In TweakUi, select workstation, special folders. You can scroll down to see the full list of special folders to the left of the button to change the location.

    You can move programs, but to do this, you must uninstall and reinstall the program. With Word and Excel, the existing data files are not affected by reinstalling. Most of the work in question is going to be reinstall all updates issued after those that are included with the original Microsoft CD / DVD.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

  • target drive more disk space during installation of AVG free edition 2011.

    Hello

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the AVG edition free 2011 from AVG Web site. This should solve the problem.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    It cannot record movies, I create somehow.

    Immediamente when it starts to save, it gives an error signal: check if the original sources are always available (and yet, they all), there is no such thing as the save location (of course it is!) and if there is enough disk space (a lot of). Still, it will not save. How can this be possible?

    I use an mp3 file (pendulum - watercolor) and have a lot of footage, often used with effects. They are 1280 x 1024 and a .avi file. Everything should work fine, but still does not work. Help me!

    The error that you received can be caused by the following:

    (1) source incompatible or damaged files (photos,

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    (2) the project is too big or too complex for your system
