erase free space on the capitan

The Mountain Lion, it was possible to erase free space. This can or should it be done on Capitan?

What you mean?

When you delete files from the space taken up files turn into free space

    In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

  • Cant' import images of Photos because "it is not enough free space on the volume of your library to import the selected items.

    Hey guys,.

    So I tried to import some ~ 8 GB of photos on my mac, but the Photos app gives me the following message: "there isn't enough free space on the volume of your library to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least X.XX GB of additional free space. »

    Where X.XX represents the amount of GB it says that I need but it changes everytime that I reopen the application to attempt an import.

    My mac has currently 44.4 GB so I don't know why this issue is coming.

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks in advance,

    Generally no.
     
    How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
    Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
     
    Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and
    What applications you are running, it may or may not do anything for you. More memory
    is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this
    Object:
     
    The amount of RAM you need to good performance is * not * a
    unique situation for all. You get good performance if the amount of
    RAM you have prevents you from using the file page in a meaningful way, and
    It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
    Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
    works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
    with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things
    as modification of large photographic images, can see an improvement in performance by
    adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
     
    If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory
    will reduce or eliminate the use and improve your performance.
    If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
    nothing for you. Reach
    WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should
    give you a good idea of more memory can help and if so, how
    lots more.

    You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
    storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
    any changes to the available disk space.

  • The video file can be published to the specified location. Check that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free space on the disk, and then republish the movie again.

    It happened once before, but it somehow went away after I restarted my laptop. I restarted my laptop, this time, but it has not worked.

    ~*~

    OK, so I just finished put a video together. It consists of a Hypercam 2 record (which means it's a .avi file), a PNG image, text and a song (which is a WMA file).

    ~*~

    I save the file, and then click Publish Movie. Everything goes well until the last step where the video is actually published. The window made a break for a while before you receive the following message;

    ~*~

    "Cannot complete the movie publish .

    The video file cannot be published to the specified location. "Check that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free space on the disk and then republish the movie again."

    I know there are a lot of free space on the drive on my laptop (it's an Inspiron 1520), and that there is nothing wrong with any of my files. I tried to change places without result. It simply doesn't get it. It would be a great help to me if someone could tell me what is the problem :)

  • What happened to my 10 GB of free space on the disk?

    I don't really know... Yesterday, I deleted a lot of films and albums of music from my pc and I am very sure that after I emptied the recycling bin, I had more than 31 GB of free space on the disk. But now... after that I just turned on my pc to start by knitting I noticed that my changed only 20.9 GB HDD space... what happened to the other 10 GB? No, I did not commit a any error with what I pressed on to empty the recycling bin and I even run windirstat just to check everything and I saw nothing wrong with all my files...

    IM using windows 7 ultimate sp1 with 100 GB hard drive (no partitions) 2 GB ram and 2.3 ghz cpu

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand from the description of the problem, that after deleting a few files of the computer, the hardware space shows 20.9 GB despite 31 GB in Windows 7 computer.

    I understand this must be frustrating, but don't worry, we're here to help and guide you in the right direction.

    I suggest you try these methods and check if it helps.

    Try logging in SafeMode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem is resolved, perform the scan anti-virus in SafeMode with network.

     

    Method 1

    Step 1

    Start your computer in safe mode with networking.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Note: When, at the forefront of startup options select safe mode with network.

     

    Step 2

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

     

    Method 2

    Reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    It will be useful.

    Let us know if you encounter problems with Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you.

  • How to extend the partition that has free space on the left with diskpart

    I bought an SSD and made a second partition on my HARD drive to transfer my data. I had planned to clone and move the light to my SSD partition, but read that I was better to do a new install. I made a new installation on the SSD drive, deleted the old partition of Windows 7 and went to add to the data partition unallocated space (unallocated space is to the left of the partition). I know that you can not do this with disk management, but I've done it before on my laptop Windows 7 by using diskpart. I found an article earlier about how use diskpart to do what disk management may not, but I don't know how or where I found it.

    I know I can do it with applications 3rd party like GParted, but knowing that it is possible, but don't remember how to do it with diskpart is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

    Hi Schwaka,

    As a general rule, it is very easy to extend the partition when the free space is right behind, but what can you do with the space left? Most people will feel that it is really a great difficulty.

    Do not worry! Here I recommend you an easy to use, software AOMEI Partition Wizard Server Edition. It is so common among computer users and most of the people speak highly.

    Your problem, there are two choices for you. We have to move the space unallocated behind, and the other is to merge the free space on the data partition. Both functions may not be permitted in Windows 7 disk management. In addition to the two features, more functions are supported to manage your drive.

    Have fun with it!

    Best wishes!

  • Calculate the free space of the lob segment / reclaim space?

    Friends...

    DB: 11 GR 2

    OS: Linux

    I am trying shrink lob segment and recover the free space between the business segments.

    This area in Oracle DB is new to me so try to learn and to shrink the segment.

    I went through various metalink doco (386341.1) but not be able to get answers for below...

    Issues related to the:

    1. how much free space is available in the lob segment?

    2 can I assume 'no LOB DATA' as the free space currently and even will be recovered once the segment will be shrunk?

    3. no disadvantage of using "ALTER TABLE... SHRINK SPACE.

    4. is it true if storage segment is 100 GB as many redo will be generated when trying to alter table... shrink the space?

    I'm following the steps below.

    1 find Segment name-> sys_lob123

    2. find the size of storage - > 100 GB

    3. find the size of the LOB data-> 70

    4. find the size of the data not LOB-> 30

    2. the storage size

    Select 'storage' from dba_extents bytes

    where nom_segment = 'sys_lob123. '

    100 GB

    3. the size of the LOB

    Select dbms_lob.getlength (col_lob) in the table_lob;

    70 GB

    4. the size of the LOB data not

    100-70 = 30 GB (i.e. #3 - #2)

    Thanks in advance and enjoy your time looking into this...

    Use DBMS_REDEFINITION to reorganize the LOB segment, it is the best way to retrieve a LOB segment space. Also use the clause "MEANS of COMPRESS" and SECURE LEADER, creating the temp table. There is no reason that you can use the BASIC FILE. It's online process, which means that your app can stay up to... However, make sure that monitor you the database when executing redef, as it can cause conflicts and slow down your application, in which case you must kill the reorg...

    If this process is not feasible or overwhelms you, "ALTER TABLE MOVE" is another option.

    With 'Displacement of Alter table', you need to rebuild all indexes after you move the LOB segment. Don't forget this is an offline process and your application needs a time out while you do this.

    Here is the query to list the 10 LOBs albums in your database-

    fixed line 160

    Col a20 PROPRIETARY format

    Col TABLE_NAME format a30

    Col COLUMN_NAME format a30

  • If my insert takes the free space above the pctfree?

    Hi guys,.

    If I have my pctfree set at 25%, my block is currently used by 70%, and I do an insert that will leave free of only 5%, Oracle will migrate the line that I inserted, while 25% is still free?

    Thank you

    OGUY,

    Oracle will string your line. Migration is happening with the Update statement, not with the insert command. If you insert a line that exceeds the free space of the block, oracle will be chaining line in multi parts be stored.

  • How to free space on the hard drive?

    Hello, in my "On Mac" section, it says I 233 MB of space on my 121 GB of Flash storage. Previously, I thought it was video files, but it was buggy mac section. I refreshed, hoping he would show me how much space I had left, but he stayed the same. That is the problem. I use my macbook for College written work and - maximum - work on Adobe Creative Suite. When I work on these I use a separate USB key due to the size of the files.

    The only files I have actively created/downloaded on my macbook are the files in the files of my 'Documents', 'Pictures' and 'Applications '. When I use "Get Info" on each, I see that my photo folder is great, My Documents folder is large 1.17 GB and my Applications folder is large 14,68 GB 889,9 MB. These are the only files that I use and backup the files needed for my Macbook running and working properly, the only files I want to keep.

    My question is, basically, if there is a way to lose all the files on my hard drive that are not necessary to keep. I'm not too good when it comes to computers, so I don't want to not just randomly start deleting things. Just to get these road, my garbage can is completely empty and I have nothing in my downloads folder. I have also no large files to film and, when I searched my Macintosh HD for files larger than 500 MB, there is no evidence, so I guess that this is caused by a large amount of small files (I tried to restrict research naturally but then come files that I wasn't sure of what they have done and therefore have not removed the still). If it helps, my about Mac filed 100,64 GB of my free space as 'other '. But I know that is not how much space was taken when I got the Macbook earlier this year and it should not be the size of the files that comes with it by default. There is also a way to restore all the files on my macbook at their stage of default, that I would also be interested, especially if there is a way to do it without rid of files I already have.

    I guess that's a very basic question, can someone help out me?

    1. never remove all the files that you do not understand the purpose. If you do, it's like opening the hood of your car and take bits out of the engine ebcause you think they are not necessary.

    2. it seems more likely that you must rebuild your Spotlight index.

    See the following page:

    https://www.macissues.com/2014/12/12/how-to-determine-when-your-Spotlight-index-besoins-be-rebuilt.
