Duplication of important file?

My recovery Point climbed only need 2 DVD need 7 without obvious reason.

On the audit of large files/folders, my most important files are:

C:\                  45.5 GB

C:\Users\ 16.7 GB

16.4 GB C:\WINDOWS\

C:\Users\IAN 14.9 GB

C:WINDOWS\winsxs 8.48 GB

My biggest individual file is only 1.32 GB

Y at - it of these duplicates, and if yes how safely get rid of them?  I transferred a large number of picture files in the storage media and PC and also to/from a laptop.  Notepad (on Windows 7) also seems to have used a lot harder that I expect and has a similar file as indicated above.

I also seem to have 3 folders containing overall the same JPEG files.

Any help would be appreciated with gratitude!  Thank you.

Really sorry for the delay to return to you.

I tried all the suggestions that threw up only a few minor problems.

At the end of the day, I've been using again the settings to the factory settings followed by the re-installation of your time, programs, data and updates.  Now, I installed everything as before, but with more than 20 GB more disk space.

Although directly your suggestions do not solve the problem, I learned a lot more about the inner workings of my computer so thank you!

Regards Ian

  • How to stop duplication of imported files Lightroom?

    I must have accidentally checked something because all of a sudden Lightroom 4.3 has started to import an original filename.tif file and also copy filename - 2.tif, double each file. What should I have to change to stop this please?

    With the help of a PC Windows 7 64-bit

    Maybe you select the option import copy, and the destination folder is the same as the source folder? In this case, you do not want to select Add.

    If it isn't, please give us more details on how you perform this import, perhaps even a screenshot.

  • Automator: Import files into pictures, delete source files

    I export images from Lightroom to a "Photos" folder only to manually right-click "share > Add Photos."

    I want Automator the party of import, who works. But I also want to trash the original file, once it has been imported, that does not work.

    Here is my configuration:

    The last 2 actions are not related. I even tried variable set > import > get variable > move to trash but Automator has been unable to get all the variables. I found this on google but my Automator does not support this feature:

    Of course, I want this action to run in the background so that whenever I have something to export from Lightroom, it will be available in the Photos without any effort on my part.

    In the Finder: Add the folder "Photos" in the "Pictures" folder

    Using Automator:

    "Get specified Finder items" Add folder "Photos".

    Check "To get the contents of the folder": repeat for each subfolder found.

    'Filter the items in the Finder.

    "Import files in the pictures."

    Then, repeat the actions:

    "Get specified Finder items" Add folder "Photos".

    Check "To get the contents of the folder": repeat for each subfolder found.

    'Filter the items in the Finder.

    Then add:

    "Move the items from the Finder to the trash.

    ⬇︎

    You could add the "Run the Applescript" action at the end of the workflow and have Automator emptying the Trash:

    AppleScript:

    the term {parameters}

    Tell application "Finder".

    empty the trash

    tell the end

    Back entrance

    end of race

    NB. You can consider the action 'Pause' after 'Import photo files' if the Photos.app is not open when the image files are exported in the folder "pictures".

  • Hi, I use iTunes 12.3.2.35 on a Windows 7 computer. I don't seem to be able to import files from a CD that contains the files on it as mp3 files. If I launch iTune and then put the CD in, it doesn't appear and I can't drag and drop.

    Hi, I use iTunes 12.3.2.35 on a Windows 7 computer. I don't seem to be able to import files from a CD that contains the files on it as mp3 files. If I start iTunes and then put the CD in, it doesn't appear and I can't drag and drop.

    It would not seem like an audio CD, as a drive in this way is a data disc when it contains mp3 files. You would need to access the file menu in iTunes, manage files here. If you manually manage music, you will need to access it as a regular folder on your computer. In iTunes, go to file > add file to library, and select individual files.

  • 12 iTunes does not import files

    Many have had this problem, all have been resolved (apparently) allowed the format conversion with something of an iTunes or install Quicktime as autonomous, but not me.

    • iTunes 12.1.3.6 64-bit
    • QuickTime 7.7.6

    I have a huge selection of files (mp4 and m4v) video all converted iTunes yet formats over the years of hard work. All worked perfectly (as long as home sharing is not screwing around). I bought new hardware for my main computer so moved my old kit to my server to take over the functions of iTunes. As this is a "new" computer I went straight to import my old HDD to the new NAS (all the permissions granted at a time) from the iTunes library base.

    iTunes has simply nothing. I then tried to import files in various ways at different locations (local shared folder, NAS), and by various techniques (drag / move, import file, import file, open with, add automatically) none of them got the files in iTunes. "Automatically add" gave the strangest response however. I created the "not added" like there was something wrong.

    Three things, I can guarantee you:

    1. Files have been acceptable for the last 5 years in iTunes and are played regularly through the AppleTV, so no conversion is necessary at all.
    2. It's not a permissions issue, as even the local file was not imported.
    3. I can't go to 12.3.1 he simply refuses to start at all.
    4. This box is a new facility with nothing else installed except the above.

    I would like to try an older version of iTunes to see if I could get that back to normal, but I am unable to find a previous releases section (could be me).

    Does anyone have an ideas?

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review other cases and a list of documents to support further down the page, in which case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Your library must be affected by these measures but there are also links to the backup and recovery advice it should be necessary.

    In some cases with 64-bit systems, you may need to install the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) and QuickTime to enable iTunes work with some videos. 32-bit users must install QuickTime.

    Unfortunately, you can't simulate a complete PXI system, so we do not have the ability to simulate a PXI controller unit. The simulation, you can do is to set up the cards you want to use in you.

  • Cannot download and install programssince a corruption of important files... explore 8 is an example

    I had an incident that caused the corruptions of important files and loss of some programs. I was previously using Internet Explorer 8 and now IE7.  When I try to download and install IE8, it blocks the download, runs for hours without having to download anything. Other programs are also not download... arrive almost at the end, they never end. Very frustrating.  Maybe it has more to do with the installer?

  • Loading error when you try to load the Halo 2 "files are missing or damaged in the installation directory. A few important files required to run this game are missing from the installation directory.

    Original title: load error when you try to load Halo 2

    People at Microsoft, I have a problem trying to load Halo 2 on my dv7 Paviliaon with Vista and the 2.8 GB Intel Centrino 2 processor. When I try and load the game, I get and error stating: "the files are missing or damaged in the installation directory. A few important files required to run this game are missing from the installation directory. "It bothered me for several reasons. One: the disc that I use is an original disc out of the box so hsould have no problem. Two: the game has been loaded previously on the same computer without apparent problem at the time. It has been deleted (don't remember why) and when I tried to reinstall, the error came. Three: I did as recommended and updated all programs and drivers, nothing works. So my question is, how do I reinstall Halo 2 and what this problem will arise if I decide to buy and load Halo 3?

    Thank you for your time in advance.
