• Cleaning of disk space on the computer

  WOW Thanks to all the kind people who responded to my problem with free space on my C: drive. OK, the info on my pc space used 74.0 GB... 444 MB free... 74.5 ability of. If I run Disk Clean Up it will release 832 KB. Now that my daughter left for College, I deleted itunes off this pc. I'm almost convinced that there are several large music or video files hidden somewhere on the C: drive, and if I knew all the places to look so obviously this issue would go. Thank you in advance for taking a moment to help out me.

  Please help me with this.

  Hello

  ITunes is on the computer there is a good possibility you are right about the
  video files and music. Launch Windows Media Player which will show you what is available
  through it however it probably will show not everyone.

  It will show you how disk space is being used.

• The Defragmenter using my free space of the computer breaks down. I do not understand, help me please

  My problem is that whenever I have use the Windows Defragmenter space descends on my hard drive of 250 GB by one about 5 GB every time. It is what I am doing wrong, I can't access because there are not without options. I just press on defragment now. What can be wrong?

  You don't need to touch Vist'a Defrag.

  It works discreetly/automatically in the background.

  If you want to see what is happening, use 3rd party defragmentation programs:

• Better use of disk space on the server esxi (for data store)

  I have a HP Proliant DL380G6 which currently has 2 146 GB hard drives in a Raid0 configuration.  We quickly realize that this is not enough space for all of the virtual machine, we have running.

  Is there a way of 'clean' to add disks to this server - by this I want to say one where we don't have to add readers, and then reconfigure the raid5 raid card, and reinstall...

  And on a related issue (even if it may seem irrelevant):

  Some of our virtual machines are currently on a mounted NFS datastore that I want to spend in the local data store.  One of them has quite a few clichés that take up a lot of space.  What is the CORRECT way to migrate the virtual machine to the other local datastore, get rid of all snapshots (maintenance of the VM in its current state)?

  Believe it or not. . Just select Remove all.

  You are here is not a cliché. . It's your current state and not be deleted unless you select "go to" (note the different icon)

  (even if I understand your concern)

  If you are really nervous and wants to prove it to yourself, just test it on a virtual machine with no snapshots (create a snapshot, add a file, delete the snapshots and see if the files still exists)

• 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

  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?

  If you are just looking for elements run back, I wouldn't have selected Vista for guest OS... Probably be much better to use XP Pro (SP2) than any version of Vista... On the one hand, XP uses much less space on the disk and other... You can run XP Pro (easily) on a vDisk 16-20GB... IF you're dead set on running VIsta, then get the Business edition and who perform. I would never use any of the editions home for any professional use. Windows 7 is much better than Vista (Windows 7 is commonly called "Vista done right" within the it community). I'm actually using Windows 7 Professional x 64 on two of my systems. I have a XP Pro VM on my system main for when I need either the software which is only able to turn it on, or when I need to test something. Otherwise, I stick with Win7 these days.

  Vista Home (Basic or Premium) are not exactly the wisest choice for operating systems... Especially if you work on this system...

• Question on the available disk space on the Satellite Z930

  I'm new on this Yes, you can not shoot me down if this is a stupid question. I just bought a new ultrabook Z930. Storage space announced was 125 GB (drive C is only show 100 GB available). Only, I installed MS Office Standard 2007, Norton anti virus and printer drivers.

  However, I now only 65GB of disk space, and I do not think that these applications take 35 GB. I removed the shadow at all.
  Can someone give me some advice please?

  Unfortunately we can not see info exact drive HARD, but maybe you saw something wrong.
  Check please Disk management in the computer management options and you can see all the information base on the HARD disk and each partition of HARD drive.

  I can imagine that this 35 GB is total data backed up on some partition that contains the operating system and all the stuff pre-installed.

• If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

  So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

• Running out of disk space and the need to remove the old clichés

  I recently joined a company owning an ESXi 4.1.0 (build 260247) server with 4 500GB data warehouses.  One of our servers main database (Ubuntu/Postgres), which uses only one of the data warehouses (4 datastore) has 21GB 465 GB free.  It is currently configured to store all settings, storage and snapshots on this unique data store.  The hard disk is configured as thin.

  The virtual machine has crashed a few days ago, when it ran out of disk space.  We removed a small second partition (which was in the same data store) and cleared space, but we receive extremely weak with only 5% of the data left store.

  I have read many posts and wanted to get the opinion of this community before I move forward.   Because we do not use the 4.1 last I heard some issues using the option "Remove all" that it may require more disk space and others recommended to manually delete snapshots from the closest to the base, but it seems that in this case it can merge the snapshot with the original without freeing all the space.

  We are not all of the snapshots and I'm fine with delete them, but I assure you we will not run out of disk space in the process and complicate things further.

  It is best to manually remove these snapshots starting with the one closest to the base or by using the "Delete All" (or something else)?  In addition, if we go with the manual option, is it possible with the virtual machine upward or do we need to close first?

  Current snapshots:

  Welcome to the community,

  After the screenshot, your virtual disk 'arrow_db1.vmdk' stocked thickness!

  With the thick disc service and ESXi 4.1 (the problem with "Delete All" is related to version 4.0), you can run safely "Delete All". However, due to low disk space, I recommend that do you with the virtual machine off. If turned on, a new temporary snapshot will be created, which - according to the workload of the virtual machine - can grow and fill in the data store.

  Due to the size of snapshot and depending on the speed of your storage space, you need to plan a few hours well downtime.

• msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the partition relevant, clicking Retry

  Hello

  
  I've seen various threads on this topic but have not found a resolution or explanation that fits my specific scenario.

  
  I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space.  Last night, I'm moving on our Exchange 2003 Server mailboxes when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

  msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant partition, and then click Retry.  Otherwise, click Cancel to end this session.  Try again / Stop

  Retry reproduced the error... Stop stop the virtual machine.

  After I stop, I look in the client vsphere under hardware > storage > SAN where the disc is, and I find that I'm out of space.

  Now, I created multiple snapshots I could fall back on since when I was doing the initial setup of the Exchange.  I deleted a large number of people and got up to about 50 GB of free space showing on the SAN.  However, this number is declining slowly.

  Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks?  This will become a huge problem that I have several other mailboxes to move and I thought that I had already allocated to the space I need.

  Why is that when the server is just sitting there.  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thickness)

  Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?

  Hello.

  "I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space. »

  You have created 630 GB of thick disks on a 700 GB of data store.  Thick disks use this allocated space, no matter what operating system did with them in terms of use. Yes GB 630 thickness = 630 GB used space on the data store.

  "Last night, I'm moving on the mailboxes of our Exchange 2003 server, when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

  You still snapshots (as you also mentioned) on this virtual machine as well.  With only 70 GB of free space on the data store, the snapshots are defintely going to be able to fill the volume in short order.

  «Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).»  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks? »

  When you create the snapshot, a new drive is created that will get all new disk writes.  So to copy a large number of mailboxes will use a lot of space quickly.

  "Why is that when the server is just sitting there."  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thick) »

  Thick is using space, and convert it into thin disks may help to varying degrees - depending on the amount of writes.  It is above all the snapshots of the origin of the problem, or at least it's where you can focus your attention to solve this.

  "Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?"

  Remove snapshots and/or move this virtual machine to a data store greater would be the simpler of two corrections.

  Good luck!

• Inaccessible machine always appears as the use of disk space on vCenter

  Hello

  I use an ESX 4 server as a host of a vCenter.  One of our machines has probably been removed via the ESX itself some time ago and it does not exist on the store data, but when you browse the host when it is connected to the vCenter, I see the machine appears under the name "inaccessible".  Now, when I look at the virtual host computers tab, I see that the machine uses up to 25 GB of disk space, but this machine does not really exist on the data store.  I tried refreshing and so forth, but the machine still appears as existing and too much space.  Can someone explain why this is the case?

  Also, I can remove the machine from the inventory and no block will be reserved for this machine?

  Thank you

  Ofer

  If you are sure, that concerned VM is not necessary, do a right-click the VM and remove from the inventory. It won't support a swap file lock in the data store as the heartbeat for this virtual machine is already lost.

  Usually, a VC service is restarted and the removal of the virtual machine directly from host should solve the problem.

  Thank you

• A question about the use of disk space free on a RAID 10 for ASM?

• Can I avoid excessive use of disk storage capacity by removing the old/obsolete updates... ?

  Hello world. I use Windows Vista Home Basic. Updates are very frequent, and some are quite heavy. Do the sizes of these updates accumulate and continue to use the capacity of the disc over the course of months or years, or new updates replace those previous/related who become obsolete to avoid excessive use of the capacity of the drive... ? Windows advises not to delete updates! Is it possible to easily identify unnecessary/old updates should be deleted? You will appreciate your expertise. TKS.
