Disk space recovery tools

In the five years I had my Macbook Pro, I solved my problem of disk space by upgrading the hard drive: 256 G - > 512 G - > 1 T.  Now I need to replace it, and 1 t SSD are a little expensive for my taste.  So, I'm in downsizing mode, in order to get up to about 400 G of free space (from my current 800).  Are there good tools available that will help me find a) large files and folders, file b) unused and records and c) duplicate files and folders?  I was directed to Gemini, which seems limited to c), and it runs in the background, even as I type.

Any help will be appreciated.

If you search the Web for 'Mac disk space' (without the quotes), you will see references to several utilities that may help you.

According to the details of your hardware, you might also consider a 'fusion drive,"which could give you the ability to a traditional disc with some of the speed of an SSD.

    HP tools partition is essentially for the backup BIOS and HP Diagnostics to the seed. However, I think that the user has installed Quickweb in that partition. If the system still works, I'd say you allocate 300 MB of drive C on the E drive that would solve this problem. The document from the following link can help:

    Not enough space for which drive? This is a warning most likely a not enough space on the recovery partition.

    This occurs when Windows Backup is used without a dedicated external hard drive. Is that what you did?

    If so, access the recovery partition and delete all backups that you sent to there.

    Then you get an external hard drive and backup on it.

  • Message "you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d :))".

    From: Robert judge

    On my new VISTA PC, I tried to use the built-in backup program.  The back-up apparently failed because there is not enough room on the "RECOVERY disk (d).

    Now, when I restart my new VISTA PC, I get this message:

    "Low Disk Space you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d). To free up space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here... »

    When I "click here," I gave then "disk for RECOVERY (D :). cleanup.  Disk Cleanup offers "Office installation files" and "Basket", but both have "0 bytes" so I can't free up space in this way.

    When I open the backup and Restore Center and try to back up files, the program starts by "creating a shadow copy.  However, I then get a message:

    "An error has occurred...". There is not enough space to save the backup files.

    Free some disk space or change your backup settings. (0x81000005).»

    If I have little space on"RECOVERY", I only need saved Documents.  But even when I check only the 'Documents', I get the same error message.

    I think that I should delete the contents of the D RECOERY and try again.  However, there seems to be some files that are already installed on RECOVERY D.  However, I see a folder called "game 2008-06-08 backup 193208," which I suppose is the backup failed I tried on 6 June.  Should I just remove this folder and try again?  Or y at - it another way I should try to use the program "backup and restore"?  I'd appreciate advice.

    Mickie,

    As Ryan has noted, the recovery disk D should not be used for storage, do you have anything installed to him directly?

    If you're trying to backup, then cancelled or failed, then follow these instructions:

    1. Click on the Logo Windows (start)-> type to start searching the backup status and Configuration
    2. Next to the "automatic backup is currently activated" click on Turn Off
    3. Close the window.

    Then, we will need to remove the incomplete files on your D drive.

    To do this, you will need to click on start click on computer, and then double-click Disk Local (d)

    Here you will find two things, a Mediaid.bin file and a file with the same name as your computer (you can check by finding a backup set inside this folder), you must remove both to get rid of the message. Let us know if you need help, to know the name of this folder.

  • Error message saying no disk space on recovery drive E

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron which is only a few months old and I use Vista Home Premium. I constantly receive an error message indicating that the recovery E: disk space is full. I went to the computer to check the available disk space and the bar is completely RED for drive E: of recovery. I have a lot of available memory on drive C: I tried to Defrag disk and disk cleanup. Disk Cleanup says 0 bytes will be released by empty my trash. That's because my basket is empty! I deleted all temporary internet files. I did a virus scan. I tried to save recovery E: files to an external site, but could not do this. I tried to delete the files and received a warning message if I did not complete this task. I copied the files to a folder of Documents, but that solves nothing. I called Dell Support and they said something on the partition. I tried to create my backup disks, but this error seems to be the way because he won't let me do this or the other. I cleaned my images and deleted all of the videos. I did everything that I know to free up space. I don't want to disable the error message, as some have suggested. I tried previously posted questions and answers on the forum, but I am unable to find my EXACT problem. If it is there, then I don't understand computer Lingo. My laptop is only a few months old, so I haven't added a large number of files. Why is that happening and how can I solve the problem? Please help!

    Dell computers are shipped with a recovery partition you can use to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new (usually by pressing F12 when the computer starts).   The problem is not that the recovery partition is almost full.  The problem is that Windows Vista should not access that partition at all and shouldn't the user.

    To delete the partition of Windows Vista and avoid the error message, remove the drive letter:

    1. click on the Start button.
    2 type diskmgmt.msc in the Search box and press enter .
    3. click continue at the user account control prompt.
    4. when the disk management window, right-click the E: partition, click change drive letter and paths... and click Remove .
    5. click on Yes .

    Hello

    In NO case should remove anything from the recovery partition.

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

    I had this problem once after into virtual memory. I went back to the settings and found my partition recovery with a limited space has a paging file of my C drive has not. Check your settings if the recovery partition has a virtual memory paging file, it must be set to None (check the box before "No paging file").

  • On the recovery partition low disk space

    My grandfather had assembled this computer and it seems to have two disks (disk Local (c) and (d) PRESARIO_RP), it seems I do not start to go or use PRESARIO somehow, even if it has RECOVERY software in this regard.  I did the math, my computer says that it is only about 2 GB (there are also a few minor cases on this subject), but the capacity has to be 11.2 GB.  I constantly receive say error message that it runs out of space, and when I shoot to the top of its properties, it says I have only 2.04 MG left on the disc.  Any thoughts?

    Hello

    COMPAQ PRESARIO is a brand of computers HP (Hewlitt Packard)

    If D: is 11.2 GB it's definitely the recovery Partition you already mentioned (PRESARIO_RP (d).

    If you get this message Low Disl space on the D: partition, please read what applies to COMPAQ computers:

  • HP pavilion windows 7 laptop. : low HP Tools [E] disk space.

    Hello every time I open a program in my computer this message which tells me that my disk space on the drive tools Hp [E] runs. I tried to disable the security settings of the system but drive E is not listed in there, and then there was this topic where I was told to remove [MY NAME - HP] player [E], but I don't have that in there, that's all that is there.

    [Hewlett packard] - folder.

    [Hp_Tools] - file.

    PS: my dad will be angry, I reeealy if this computer case = ((-je l'ai eu pour mon anniversaire!! sa très bonne pour minecraft mais je ne peut pas jouer mine cus im peur dele de message!))

    Note: The disk is red on the space and there is (50Mt left out space-4, 98Gt)

    You mean in the Protection of the system from System Properties tab, [e] HP_Tools is not listed? This probably means that instead of the problem relating to the restoration of the system, it could be personal files that have been accidentally copied to this player.

    Try the instructions from step #5 - discovers hidden files and folders on drive E:, then move or delete the files that belong here. The 'Attention' message will tell you what to do not delete.

    I hope that helps!

    Because your computer manufacturer did not provide a Windows
    installation disc, they rather created a recovery partition to be
    used if you need to reinstall Windows. You should never try
    to use this partition for something else. If you write it, you run
    the risk of losing your only option to reinstall Windows.

    On the other hand, is almost certainly to your computer with instructions
    Burn the content of this partition to a DVD so that you can reinstall
    Windows if the player crashes. If you have not already lost content
    of the partition, you should proceed immediately.
