File history player is broken, how historic cleaning

I used to have an external HARD drive to save a copy of my files, my hard drive broke down and I worked in jeopardy for weeks without backup. Is it possible that my entire history file has been saved on my C:\ drive since he was not able to find the old broken external HARD disk to manage my history file?

Now, I have configured my file history to go on a server accessible files only for me. A new backup of my files have been made on this network location. But I've now left only 1 GB on my C drive and I think it's because the file history have preserved a copy of my history of file on my C drive instead. Now, when I go to remove the earlier version later, it tries to go delete on my old broken external HDD. Am I stupid to think it was somehow cached on my C drive? If so, how can I remove this cache of version control?

Hello

I understand the inconvenience caused to you. I will certainly help you in this matter.

Let me inform you, there may be several reasons that the size of the C: drive is increased. Under normal circumstances, it is not the history of files gets record on drive C:, unless you change the settings or if you have a third upward / software tool.

I would like to know;

  • You have a third party to the high tool?

Since you mentioned do increases the size of the C: drive, I wish that you find the folder in the C: drive with the largest size and check the data in the folder. If you see the data of the HARD disk on the C: drive, it would be appreciated if you can provide us with the screenshot of the file, so we can help you to recover files and folders.

Please refer to the article below, how to include a screenshot in your message

In this case remove the cache on the disk, the safest way to remove the cache is to run a cleaning disc, however, before we do that, I would like to know what kind of files they are.

You can try to free disk space and check if this can help, follow the links below:

  • Is there a way to disable the timestamp in the file history?

    Hello.

    Is there a way to disable the timestamp in the file history?

    Original title: file history

    No, you can't turn the timestamp in the file history.  That's how the backup system knows what backups are latest to avoid corruption and file damage.  It is also an inherent requirement of the NTFS file system, which require that all the files have the underlying timestamps.

  • How to use a partition on a hard disk internal to the file history

    I try to use a partition on my hard drive for the file history. When I open the history file it says "no usable disk found. I allocated about 50 GB of the partition. The size of partition of the problem or do not like the internal disks for the windows backup? If the disk is too small if you please could you recommend a minimum size and if windows does not like the internal drives for backup could you please tell me how to solve this problem.

    Note:    I know it's a bad habit to save on the hard drive, the same that your files are on, but the point of this backup is not file security, more so I can go back to older versions of files such as windows 7 versions. I have an external hard drive dedicated with full backups, but it does not gives me the opportunity to return to an older version of a file at any time as the historical file is that I'm not wearing my backup drive wherever I go.

    Thanks in advance

    Try to make a file on your partition named FileHistory.  .   Right-click and select Properties.   Share it.

    Hello Tony,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    You can create backup using the file history on one of the drivers on your computer and you can copy and save it to the external hard drive. Or, you can create a backup manually on both disks one after the other. There is no setting through which you can simultaneously save the backup on two different disks.

  • Says "Select another player file History" (after several months of use)

    I've been using history files with an external hard drive since obtaining my laptop Windows 8 at Christmas. Today, I get the message:

    Select another drive of history file - history of files can not save copies of all your files due to limitations with file system of your historical record of files. Press or click to select a different drive.

    The external hard drive has franco total departure 330 GB 40 GB. I know it uses the FAT32 file system and have a few ISO images that are more than 4 GB, so I removed those but still not the problem. There the error logs that I can look to see if there is a particular directory file/long path? Any other ideas?

    Thank you

    Hi Chris,

    Try to convert the external drive to NTFS file system and check if the problem persists.

    These are the ways to convert to NTFS

     

    Method 1:

    Conversion to NTFS using Convert.exe

    (a) of the type command prompt on the start screen, according the the search results right click on command prompt and select run as administrator

    (b) in the command window, type help convert , and then press ENTER. Information on the conversion of FAT to NTFS volumes are made available, as shown below.

    Method 2: To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompttry as follows:

    (a) of the type command prompt on the start screen, from the search results right click on command prompt and select run as administrator.

    (b) in the command prompt window, type: convert DriveLetter: / FS: NTFS

    For example, type convert D:/FS: NTFS would format drive D: with the ntfs format. You can convert FAT or FAT32 to NTFS volumes with this command.

    Important When you convert a drive or partition to NTFS, you cannot just convert it back to FAT or FAT32. You will need to reformat the drive or partition which will erase all data, including programs and personal files on the partition.

    You can refer to check your drive historical files errors

  • How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive? Almost complete. Says "low disk space". Thank you in advance.

    How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive?  Almost complete.  Says "low disk space".  Thank you in advance.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Follow a few basic maintenance note.

    1.5 the tool provided in Windows to remove unwanted temporary files is disk cleanup. To access this tool select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. You must then run Disk Defragmenter.

    1.6 using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    1.7. If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    1.8. a better alternative program to disk cleanup is cCleaner. The freeware version works well for a home user and must be downloaded from Piriform program provider:
    http://www.CCleaner.com/download

    1.9. When you open cCleaner you will see four large icons to the left of the window. Here's cleaner them, registry, tools, and Options. For routine maintenance, you normally acceding Cleaner (this is not the mentioned registry cleaner later). When using for the first time only, you can accept the default settings.

    1.10. some observations on the parameters. On my computer, I do not have the boxes before the passwords saved selected. In a less secure environment, you could check this option and set cCleaner to run automatically when the computer starts. You also cannot check the boxes in front of shortcuts from the Start Menu, desktop shortcuts and historical form. You must check the boxes according to your needs. Bad first time options causes irritating no disasters.

    1.11. the second icon that you see when you open cCleaner's registry. A reserve many experienced users have about cCleaner, it's that it comes with a registry cleaner. This tool should not be used. By using a registry cleaner, but it is the case, provides significant benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which cannot be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that that implies. You will avoid any possible problem of not not by clicking on the Save icon.

    1.12 the third icon that you see when you open cCleaner is tools. If you click this icon, it gives you access a routine plus service options. The first two tools are uninstalled and commissioning. I do not use these tools, preferring to use other software options. The third tool is the restoration of the system, which is covered in the next paragraph. The fourth tool is Wiper Drive and you will find reviews about this tool later

    1.13 removing the system restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

    1.14. you can't remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

    1.15. in normal circumstances, you probably rarely need to use Driver wiper. However, there are situations like if you gave the computer to someone else, then the tool may be useful. Please note that the wiper Drive, opening, generates a warning message, which should not be dismissed lightly. Using wiper Drive for the wrong reason could have serious consequences.

    1.16 the fourth icon is labeled Options. Many configuration options are available here. You can configure cCleaner to run when start you but remember that this will slow down the boot. Another setting allows you to include or exclude cookies. Yet another allows files named to exclude.

    My windows 8 upgraded to 8.1 en from there it says that I need to reconnect my drive as I've changed nothing except to do a disk clean up nothing changed. 24 of Firefox does not connect to internet

    I also got the notice that the history file drive has been disconnected. I saved files from my laptop on an external hard drive (passport) and because the cell phone was also necessary for ten days, the files were not registered and historical files offline. I have do it I have turned off before disconnecting the external drive. I accidentally solved the problem in this way: I unplugged the hard drive, off file history, reconnect the hard drive where it was (on a hub port), the race clicked for the history of the files. He told me to choose a reader and I chose the Passport, the reader, he had said repeatedly he could not recognize. Then he asked me if I wanted to transfer files that were saved in the meantime on the Passport. Before, I said yes (it seemed logical), and always leading to the history of the files being disconnected. This time, I said, no, and the history of the files went on without any problems, I can say.
