• Deleted files are still too much space on my hard drive, how to make their deleted permanently?

  I deleted a large file containing about 60 gigs of my hard drive by sending to the trash and empty the collector, because the car was full.  All files were gone, my computer does not recognize free space and won't let me not defragment the hard drive or save any new data on the hard drive, saying that he is too full.  What should I do?

  Either you have an application that saves you from yourself (Norton used to have what we call the "Norton Protected Recycle Bin" which has given a second chance to restore files) or if you have something else take place.

  Did you restart after having emptied the Recycle Bin?

  Have you run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)

  Assuming that the answers to the two questions above is Yes and you are still weak on the disk, download and run JDiskReport, space that will graphically show you what files are taking up space on your hard drive.  For more advice, post back with the identification of the culprits.

  If you do not have enough space to install JDiskReport (about 2 MB), here are some ways to save space:

  • Turn off System Restore (right-click on desktop > properties > system restore > check the 'Disable the the system restore on all drives' > OK)
  • Disable Hibernation (Control Panel > Power Options > Hibernate > uncheck > OK)
  • Disable the Indexing Service (instructions here)

  When you turn the system restore, make sure that only your system (usually C:\) partition is monitored and then click the settings button in the System Restore tab and adjust the amount of space used by restoring the system to 1 GB.

• on my iCloud drive files take up space on my hard drive?

  I'm always running out of space on the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. The most important issue seems to be the library and Documents Mobile is the largest. But when I look inside I find the name of the folder as if by magic going on MacBook Pro / My Files / Library / Mobile Documents for MacBook Pro / My Files / library / iCloud Drive.  I thought that the purpose of paying extra for space on my iCloud drive should free up space on my hard drive.

• 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.

• I can never make a lot of space in my hard drive after back to the top

  I regularly save on a hard disk that is attached to Lightroom.  What I've noticed, is the amount of space that I have left is still declining.  After the backup, I used to have over 200 GB of the available MBP 768 GB retina, now, I rarely more than 100 GB.  At some point I'll have no space left at all.  I don't know that I'm doing things correctly.  I noticed that there are duplicate files when I export the. DNG my 645Z or. My A7RII ARW.  So I file raw in LR, the ARW and the .xmp that have been exported (I still name them).  My habit of the end to create more space on my hard drive is to find the .dng and .arw files in the finder, back up to an external hard drive and then remove them from my MBP.  I do not touch other files not named.  What I find good is that even with the hard drive attached, some files are displayed as missing picture.  I can remedy this with a cover of Time Machine, I did a time machine to the top until I backed up (something I always do) images in lightroom.

  Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  What is the best way to ensure that I have a lot of space?  I can't just buy new laptops all the time when I run out of space.  I save most of my images finished PSCC at the highest quality jpg, so the finished images that are not take total amount of space, but these are not archived on LR that I prefer to use the tag system which uses Mac.

  The best approach I've found is always import as of the segregation of records to your home. Make sure that these are backed up by time machine or another mechanism for backup and then if you are not actively using the images in a dated file more copy set in an external hard drive where you keep the same year and the date structure separated. Then in Lightroom, it is a simple case of right (or control), click the folder that you moved in the sidebar of library and select "update folder location" and that it points to the new location of the folder on the external drive. All your images must be accessible as long as external is attached. Now you can remove the folder from your internal hard drive and find space (don't forget to empty the trash).

  My main machine is a retina with a 256 GB drive and I easily maintain a 100 of 1000 image catalog Lightroom on it in addition to Photoshop and many other CC software I use (first for most). Most of my images and video life on a large RAID array, but my most recent images months living inside. Easily, you should be able to work with a 768 GB internal. You delete old backups of catalog in Lightroom? By default, Lightroom creates backups of the catalogues that makes every week or so next to the file catalog in a folder "Backups". You don't need to keep a large number of these backups autour. I usually keep only 2 or 3.

• When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

  When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

  Not while you're still editing the project.  When you have completed the project and shared it and are sure that you do not want to do any editing more far, you can delete the whole project.

  If you do a significant amount of iMovie editing you really need to put your libray (ies) on a large external hard drive.  Another thing you can do is to divide your work between different libraries and move those that are not currently on a removable drive.

• Satellite P300 - upgrade to larger hard drives and 7200 RPM?

  I have a Satellite P300, model PSPCCA-01W073 (sold in Australia). Machine has two 320 GB of HARD drive. Yes, it's all up to 640 GB. I upgraded to Windows 7 OS and I have dual boot in to Linux Ubuntu.

  My job is editing/processing of multimedia files big and my hard drives are overexploited, so I now I am forced to exchange large files back and fourth with various USB hard drives. If I can replace the existing readers with much larger models, then I will go ahead and do it. .. But at this point, I'm out of my depth!

  I asked the support from Toshiba if P300 supports larger disks but they will not engage all the answers outside the original specifications. They suggest that I should try Toshiba users forum for more help.

  A kind person could tell me if it is possible to run drives 320 GB and the size. Also, I believe that the existing drives are 5400 RPM. My online store parts and pieces of local computer lists a choice between Hitachi, WD, Seagate and Samsung with sizes:

  (2.5 "/ 5400 RPM") 320 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB as well as sizes: (2.5 "/ 7200 rpm") 500 GB, 640 GB and 750 GB.

  So my second question; y at - it no advantage or disadvantage to the superior speed of 7200 RPM.

  TIA, your help should prevent to me yet an another expensive blunder.

  Hello

  Theoretically more big hard drives must be supported and should not be a big problem to use this HARD drive as the SATA controller is not limited to any size.

  Also the use of the faster HARD drive 7200 RPM should not affect the performance of the laptop even if this HARD drive faster produce more heat

  In my opinion you can upgrade to a larger and faster HARD drive

  Hello, manoj0910.

  Please visit Apple support communities.

  Looks like you can't synchronize the pictures located on your external drive.  I need a little more information about your configuration to provide a better answer.  However, we will try to sync your photos through the section of the file through the article below.  You just need to direct iTunes to where your photos are stored on your external drive.

  If your photos are in a folder

  1. Select "Choose a folder" from the context menu.
  2. Choose the folder where you store your photos.
     
  3. Click on apply.

  You can arrange photos in subfolders to create photo albums.

• How to switch my system on a larger hard drive without having to reinstall the OS and lose my data?

  replace the hard drive

  I'm looking to replace my hard drive but I need all the files it is about it, passing a small hard drive to a larger hard drive. My question is how can I save all the files on the disk and how can I get the operating system on the new hard drive without the original disk

  If your current system does not work, there is no need to bother with data backup, installation of applications and get a Windows XP installation CD (although regular backups are important to do as a general practice).

  Instead, clone your current hard drive to your new hard drive.  All you need is an external hard drive enclosure and disk cloning software.  In addition, once you have made sure that everything works correctly, put the old drive in the external box and use it for backups.

  Some of the cloning apps below are also disk 'images' (e.g. Acronis True Image).  A disk image can be compressed so that, for example 58 GB of data can produce a 40 GB image file.  Some of the apps, and of also can selectively backup specified files.

  The housings of external drives more to connect to a USB port.  Make sure just that buy you one with the good 'form factor' (portable = 2.5 inches, computer desktop/Tower = 3.5 inches) and internal drive connector.  Many but not all speakers can deal with SATA and PATA time.

  This example (for laptops) is not the less expensive external hard drive enclosure, but it's a decent case that can be used with either SATA or IDE (PATA) drives and comes with its own software package of cloning: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

  It is a very good buy for a drive IDE (PATA) Office size: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

  In general, Newegg is a good place for your search options by looking at the comments by users.

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  Acronis True Image Home
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  XXClone

• My hard drive is filling up all the available space on my hard drive

  Original title: my drive is 'eat' himself!

  Something happens in my system which occupies all the available space on my hard drive.

  I deleted everything that I possible can, but as soon as I create a space that it disappears.

  There is apparently a function involving my e-mail archives or my installation "restore."

  Recreate the data but do not delete the file/data who is who replaces it.  What has

  happened in the past, but at that time, it was the result of my control one inadvertently

  email replication function... this time I got nothing done to cause this duplication of work.

  When it started to affect my system this time I looked for things to remove and found

  many of my emails in the "sent" folder had been duplicated.  I immediately removed all

  These duplicates and has acquired an important place but in a short period of time the

  disc had been filled again.

  I ran anti-virus (McAfee) and combating malicious programs (Malwarebytes) without finding

  anything that can be causing my problem.

  Thanks in advance for any help.
