drive hard full no reason apparent

I have a hard drive SSD 240 GB and until recently, I've only had about 90 GB free. Recently, I received a message that the car was full. I eliminated all the usual suspects and recovered 60 GB, but with a couple of weeks, it was new and no software has been added. Once again, I have eliminated temporary files, etc. and recovered only 9 GB and some 15 minutes, it was down to 6 GB!

I looked in all the flders and couldn't find what occupies disk space, anyone have any ideas?

Thank you, Brian

    Use Disk Cleanup to delete all but the most recent restore point, run Disk Cleanup by right click on the C drive, select Properties, then click on 'disk cleanup', when it is made of calculation and the window opens, click on 'remove system files' it will be re - calculate, when the window opens again you will notice you have one tab 'other options' that wasn't there before Click on it and press the button 'clean up' in the System Restore section.

    @stu

    Not because of the number of pixels, in this photo and the chosen level of quality there is no possible way to create a JPG file to the size of file you requested. You must change your export settings.

    Show us a copy of the export dialog box, so we can see clearly the part file setting and the size of the Image.

    Also indicate the number of this image (width and height) pixels after cropping (as appropriate) and prior to export.

  • Satellite M200 Vista shows that the HARD drive is full of 98%

    This problem showed about 2 months ago the system started running slowly and after a bit of research, I went to computer and found he showed that the HARD drive was full of 98%. Then I went and disabled the feature of shadow copy that reached about 3 Gig. After that, the performance was still hurt, so I decided to do a system restore. All reformatted once was good again until a week ago, and the same problem came back once again.

    This laptop is running Vista Home Premium SP1, 120 Gig drive HARD, Kaspersky Anti-virus, it has very limited connection to the Net, as it is mainly used to store and transfer music on an Ipod (20 GB of music).

    Any thoughts? Maybe a hardware failure?

    Thanks in advance.

    Craig.

    Hardware failure is very likely, since you are clearly able to access your hard disk without problem.
    Looks like you are using software that could be gradually fill the hard drive with data, such as a log file, it is difficult to say.
    With the erosion of the space, you might want to periodically check each folder in drive C (right click, properties) and see how it changes for each new session.

    Also clean the temporary files would help such as for:

    "c:\temp".
    "c:\windows\temp".
    "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp.
    erase internet files of Internet Explorer cache / temporary
    deactivation and reactivation then "System Restore" (do this only if you are satisfied with Vista is running stable)

  • My hard drive is full

    My hard drive is full. Can I move files from the external hard drive on a hard disk without causing damage? Or do I have to add more space to my PC. How would (rookie) best install more space on mine. I would like to learn.
    Thank you
    BagggerMom

    Hello

    Yes, you can move the data files on an external hard drive. You can also add a new disk
    the computer - easier to a PC than a cell phone (even if the two can be made).

    If you want to move a program installed, not just the data, you must uninstall
    and then re-install the new disk.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Run DiskCleanup - start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup

    You may want to transfer some data, images or documents on removable media such
    as the USB keys, USB (my choice) or even CD/DVD drives (make multiple copies if
    the use of these).

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Info:

    System restore usually holds 15% of disk space and updates that are necessary for running computer
    consume even more. Backup - Options of recovery and even MS updates and those of HP, Dell
    or similar manufacturers use the space if your charging system. There are also overhead for the readers are not
    format to their maximum capacity.

  • I have a 45 GB hard drive which gives a msg of disk is low, but can only account for about 15 GB used. Run Disk Cleanup, but it did not help. I'm looking for why the drive is full?

    There is nothing huge load on the computer.  No photos, no videos and some documents.
    Even displays hidden files and still no explanation.
    Working on SP2... not enough space to install SP3.

    Download and run JDiskReport: http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/index.html

    This will show you what files take up space.

    You can run the disk cleanup tool (start > run > cleanmgr > OK), but if you still get low disk space message, I suspect that it's your System Volume Information directory.

    You must "show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" to see this directory, but it isn't something to mess with casually and the system normally will prevent you to do so.

    The IVR directory includes the restore points created by system restore and the database of indexing created if you let Windows index your drive.

    If you have not changed the default, the system restore will take up to 12% of your drive hard or about 5.4 GB of your 45 GB drive.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html as fill you the disk, the system restore can produce some of its space, but, in doing so, it will generate these warnings "low disk space".  If you're curious, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300044

    Windows XP provides a feature called the "Indexing Service" which can speed up the file searching in some cases.  As a general rule, speed is not overhead, both in system for indexing resources happens in the database index files that take place in the IVR directory.  See, for example, http://lifehacker.com/#! 031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp

    The startup disk is just another name for your hard drive. So if you are out of space on this subject, you can't can are either not now or is on the point.

  • Use iMac drive HARD internal for storage only.

    I initialize my iMac to an external SSD. It makes my computer run faster. How can I completely wipe the drive HARD internal of my iMac and use it as a storage only?

    This isn't a big problem, except one. Apple does not support this method as a permanent solution. However, you have an iMac of 2012. I have a Mac Mini from 2012. I used a 1 to LaCie Thunderbolt Rugged HD to do this thing very via the Thunderbolt port. It worked very well for a while. Personally, I started my primary internal HD for OS X and the LaCie Thunderbolt as external storage. For reasons of registration and so on. Recovery of the Internet, as well. I have not found any major difference in the "boot speed" between internal or external HD. I upgraded the RAM of 4 GB to 16 GB all. and BAM!

    My HD Thunderbolt is partitioned as a time Capsule (1st partition bootable) and Mac Storage (2nd partition). The choice is yours, of course.

  • Mystery needs Solution! Drive hard dv6258se

    Hello

    I recently got an error #1-07 on my test diagnostic message and decided to replace my hardrive.  I checked the specs for my box and ordered a SSD drive suitable to replace the original disc.  Or at least I thought it was the original drive.  The form of State that my box comes with a SATA I drive, but the bios and Device Manager claim that the drive is SCSI.  My box has been recalled twice to correct the defects/factory model, pourrait HP replaced the SATA drive with SCSI drive during this time?  I check the model number two disks to check what they are, but that did not really help since the original Toshiba MK1234GSX both the new 830 SSD from Samsung come in SATA and SCSI.  I checked the Samsung is SATA, but cannot confirm the Toshiba.

     

    I could format and restore the SSD from the restore disks, but restarting failed and the bios did not find the hard drive.  Subsequent attempts to restart grew up a NVIDIA, read error.  When I put the disc Toshiba back in it starts but is still VERY slow.  Click, wait 10 minutes, click, wait...

     

    Everything I read on the State of the boards that the default value of the bios is SATA, but retoring bios factory settings has not solved the problem.

     

    What is going on?  Please help and advise.

     

    Thank you.

     

    PS being new I accidentlally posted in the wrong place: you will find a more detailed description in the Desktop section, where I posted recently submitted: hp dv6258se drive hard toshiba appearing as SCSI but spec says SATA

     

    Yes, him talking about HP guy to me and I even found many other complaints about the disks SATA is read as a SCSI, it was a common occurrence from 06-08 and then had no performance impact that is a possible reason why the SSD is not compatible in theory it should be.

    .. .He explained that because player plugs directly into the motherboard and the chipset software is only formatted to read things a specific way that it will NEVER be read a SATA as a SATA, which might be why the dv6000 are not able to recognize any SSD.  I.E. HP dv6000 is capricious and has a few quirks, if SSD does not occur.

    So I'm going to buy a traditional HD, a cert HP technician think I should be able to go as high as a 500 GB HD, but I really just to get my box of operation, so I agree with a 120 GB.

    Thanks for your help solved mystery.

    You get a BIGGER hard drive.

    The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.

    Which is the same amount that I have in my table.
