Drive__XP SP3.5__Low hard disk space

Hello

My 60 GB hard drive in my netbook is almost full, even if I deleted all personal objects and performs the basic package it came with (XP, Microsoft Works).

I get the disk space warning is very low, and I want to free up space on the disk if possible to defragment, etc..

The latest pathces of XP is that great? Surely not!  Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.  I ran disk cleanup on a reguar basis and you have deleted temporary files in without success.  I'm avoiding formatiing didn't rtore disc, but no external disk drive.

Thank you very much!

Please download the program TreeSizeFree [1] and run it. It shows you which folders use the entire space.

You are able to locate the folder that uses less space? Delete unnecessary data.

  • Is it normal that Firefox consumes hard disk space open?

    Last week, I noticed the following 'strange' behavior of Firefox on my iMac (under Snow Leopard 10.6.8): while I have the browser open (usually on Facebook) my hard drive space appears to reduce (for example, 265,14 GB 265,01 GB). When I close Firefox and restart my computer, the amount of hard disk space increases again. He don't know if that happened in the past or if it's something normal. I have not installed extensions or themes, my plugins are all updated and I do not have a lot of navigation (the FB open Startpage and cat enough). Firefox doesn't seem to have performance problems, but I just want to know if there is a problem and if I could solve it somehow.

    Firefox uses more a GB of space on my hard drive regularly (sometimes 2GB). This seems excessive - especially since I put the cache size to 500 MB.

  • Hard disk space is down on its own without adding files or programs.

    original title: reduction of disk space

    My hard disk space is down without my add files or programs. I deleted the files, and after a while, I get the message that I'm out of space disk yet. I ran the windows disk cleaner, but the question is not what I need more disk space - is my drive space decreases continuously. For example, yesterday I got 4.89 GB free, today, I 4.80 - without adding anything to my computer. Any suggestion for what can happen and how to fix this?

    Another minor issue I have is that sometimes windows does not start correctly and I can't open any programs after implementation - in this case, I just restart and it works usually then. Don't know which is related to the question of good memory, but maybe it is?

    I am running Windows Vista Business SP2 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X 61.

    Thank you!

    Sounds like you have * something * create journals. Try a number of things, first off this program to see if you can find out where your space is being taken.

    Once you find out where to try and understand what is the cause. You can consider that you have some kind of virus/malware on your computer. Try to run Malwarebytes in safe mode and see what he says.

  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • Why Lightroom uses hard disk space if my catalog is in dropbox?

    I am new to Lightroom and love it so far. In addition to some external hard drives backup, I keep all my photos on Dropbox and am currently trying to build my library in Lightroom by importing my photos. Because I'll be editing my photos from multiple computers, I decided to move my Lightroom Catalog to Dropbox as well. This way I can continue to ensure coherence between several machines in my library.

    My question, however, is that whenever I have import photos, I seem to be consumes hard disk space on my computer. I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive. I know that I am using the correct catalog (also the catalog only I have for Lightroom) because use space has increased after my import on my dropbox catalog file.

    I don't know there's a logical reason - as I said, I'm new to Lightroom so always understand the ins and outs. But if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it a lot!

    Thank you

    I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive.

    By default copy of Dropbox (and synchronizes forever) all in your remote Dropbox folder on each device that you have connected to your Dropbox account.

    1 GB of files in your remote Dropbox folder will also chew up to 1 GB of space on each hard disk attached to the Dropbox account.

    The power of the box lies in its timing in order to always have the latest file available on any device connected to your Dropbox account. The compromise is that 5 appliances also each stores its own copy of the same file. Any changes made to any file on any device is synchronized by Dropbox.

    You can save space locally by allowing a selective sync in Dropbox and saying Dropbox folders to synchronize and copy it to the local disk and which ignores.

    Are you using the selective sync Dropbox?

  • ESXi 4.0 initial installation 208167 used 80G of hard disk space

    Hello

    I'll put up an old HP Proliant DL360 G5 server with two hard drives, managed by the HP Smart Array P400i controller 146SAS.  With RAID 1 + 0, the LogicalDisk is about 136G.  After you have installed the server ESXi 4.0, vSphere client reported that 51G is available for virtual machines.   See attached snapshot.  Back in 2009, on a new DL360 G6 server, I used the same software to ESXi 4.0 and installing used only 2 GB of space.  Which could use the 80G of hard disk space? 

    I noticed a difference in how vSphere client reported the DTX200:

    The DL360 G5, the customer reported the storage as "local disk VMWare..." »

    The DL360 G6, the customer reported the storage as "Home HP series SCSI Disk... »

    Any idea what happened to the 80G?  Thank you.

    If I understand you correctly, there is nothing on the data store yet (i.e. no VMs)? In this case, you can try to remove the data store and recreate to see if it reports the correct size after that.

  • Backup to external hard drive on iCloud &gt; &gt; used internal hard disk space

    Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

    I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

    Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

    The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?

  • How to expand your virtual hard disk while host hard disk space is not enough?

    People,

    Hello. I use VM Player 3. My host computer is Windows 7 and VM is Oracle Linux 5. I need to expand the virtual hard drive Oracle Linux 5 from 100 GB to 150 GB. When I click on VM > Settings > hard drive > utilities > expands...

    The error message:

    There is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation.

    To after my understanding, we have enough room to store the VHD original more expanded VHD.

    This means that the free space on the host needs to be 100 GB + 150 = 250 GB

    The total size of the hard disk of the Windows 7 host is 284 GB. The VM already occupies 100 GB of 284 GB. The maximum free space is 184 GB less space and boot OS. This means that I can't develop the 100 GB to 150 GB VHD.

    But I have to expand the virtual hard disk! I don't know if there are other ways to expand the virtual hard disk.

    My question is:

    Folk understand some ways to expand the virtual hard drive ranging from 100 GB to 150 GB drive hard host is only 284 GB?

    Thanks in advance.

    You explained, it is the behavior with monolithic virtual disks, which is a unique hard file. Because the file requires more space for its metadata at the beginning of the file, all the blocks of data must be copied to a new file. With the format of sparse file 2 GB virtual disks can be extended without the need to copy the data into a new file hard, because each the hard contains its own metadata. In case you don't have at least ~ 100GB of disk space you can use vmware-vdiskmanager convert/clone the virtual drive command line utility in a format of 2 GB sparse file, delete the original virtual disk (after saving), then use vmware-vdiskmanager again to rename the new virtual disk to the old name. Once done, you will be able to expand the virtual disk as required.
