fluxuating of available disk space

I have the same problem as many others, disk space on drives hard my keeps fluxuating, 4gigs a minute, 2 the next. There have not been significant downloads to my computer. I ran the cleaning disc several times, and I have a (more recent) restore point. Ive also run virus scans, but nothing appears.

Anyone have insight into this?
(I counted as the amount of all the files on the disks of space should take a player should have 17 of 34 free concerts, the other must have almost 11 of 34 free concerts)

WinSxS contains several versions of many files so that a program can use whatever version it was created, without worrying about other installed software on the system.

The removal of duplicates in this folder will have only one result. A complete reinstallation of the operating system and other programs.

  • Vista Home Premium gobble up available disk space

    Toshiba Equium a200 came with a 160 GB hard drive and a lack of space, so I replaced it with a 320 GB drive. Two low months down the line, I get a message C reader closer to its limit. Why is Vista Hungary both for hard disk space?

    Hello snakes47,

    System Restore is one of the main culprits for eating fast disk space; However, by default, System Restore can only 12% of the available disk space to store its files. You can try to disable restoring the system and then reactivating to see what percentage of disk space, you can recover. See this link from my site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/turn_off_system_restore.htm do not forget to reactivate new estore system after system restore points have been removed. Incidentally the System Restore creates a restore every day then, point we re-enabled, you can expect the space of hard disk to reduce again, but, as I have already said, only 12% of your disk space must be used. That is unless you have made changes to the amount of space allocated to system restore yourself in which case the amount you have allocated will be precedent.

    Another source is memory dumps but, again, it will happen only if you get the blue screen errors or your system is to have several errors. A free version of CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner. Install it and then run it. This will clear your dump of memory and history files, temporary internet files, and a host of other files that are not needed. TIS can help recover more space for you.

  • Easy Transfer Wizard error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings. The download file size is 40 GB and I have a C: drive that says he has 280 GB free and a D: drive has 298 GB free.

    I made a successful backup of the Easy Transfer of files on an external hard drive.  Previously, this computer was in Vista for more than 1 year without any problem.

    After you perform a custom installation (I wanted to start with a clean install) of Win7, everything works.  I installed the Windows/Office updates and all my other program files.  When I run the transfer Assistant, it locates the 'old computer' transfer file and reads OK, showing users and the size of the 40.1 GB file transfer.  When I click the button forward, I get error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.  However, I have more than 280 GB free on my C: drive.

    This disc is watching him and what should I do to work around this problem.  If I can't get my files/settings back, I'll be VERY unhappy customer.

    I've just passed through even - WET previous Dell PC running Windows 7 Ultimate to HP with Windows 7 Home Premium. The Belkin Easy Transfer cable help.
    WET said not enough space even if the hard drive is twice the size.

    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.

  • After installing the updates, available disk space is less.

    I recently started to use one of my old computers again.  It ran Windows XP SP2.  I noticed that the automatic updates were leaving so I have them turned on, and when you are prompted to install/download the new updates I did.  I ended up getting 150 + new updates and the next time I turned on my computer I had spent 5 GB free space at 665 MB of free space.  I checked to see if it was a different program, I installed, but none of those (found in Add/Remove programs of control panel) are larger than 500 MB.  What happened to my free space. and how can I get it back?

  • The amount of available disk space keeps fluctuating.

    I returned from more than 20 GB of space available Tuesday to 2 MB Wednesday, up to 702 MB, up to 100 KB, then back to 200 MB. Is this a virus? I ran several scans of varioud virus and nothing was found, but I see no other reason for the significant loss of disk space. I am running XP with Norton as my antivirus.

    Hi LostinCyberSpaceMD,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. What is the correct disk space showing in disk management?
    3. You have installed any new software, and programs on the computer?

    Method 1

    Method 2
    If the previous step fails, then check if the problem persists in the safe mode and after return with the result.

    Method 3
    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    1. click on start and then run.
    2. type msconfig, then click OK.
    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  • What is the effective available disk space in exadata

    Hello
    Greetings of the day,


    Is below correct understanding?


    There are 7 items in a machine half rack and are all copies mirror of the other, if the effective storage space = space in a single cell.

    Even if we have a normal redundancy in each cell, then effective the whole exadata storage space will be half of the disk space in the cell.


    Is there a rule that all cells must have equal disk space?


    From the perspective of the DSO.

    Is there a rule like all the all fails it (2 or 3 depending on the level of redundancy) groups must be of equal size with a disk group?

  • size of files - media gulping my available disk space

    My original .mov file was 3.1 GB

    Stored in my folder to import.

    EC3

    then creates a copy of this

    It's put in user > movies > library > events > original media

    3. for a 1 gb

    and creates also another copy in

    user > movies > library > events > transcoded media > high quality media

    However this time the file is GB 14.95

    What gives with the last of them, as is having a huge impact on my disk space?

    Why are you transcoding the media? You must not copy the media imported into the library. You can leave it in place.

  • Lack of available disk space; does not recognize that I have deleted files

    Today I found out, I had 2 GB left on my hard drive 150 GB (Windows XP Home edition, HP mini, purchased mid-2010).  I deleted about 20 GB of different files is no longer needed.  The properties of my C drive still say it be only 2 GB of free space, as if these files have not been deleted.  How can I force to actually evaluate disk space?  He always acts as if the hard drive is full, I can't save anything bigger than 2 GB because he thinks that's all he opened.

    I tried disk clean, defragment, properties of the material, Manager Matrix Storage Manager hardware, intel and now compress, then decompress it.  He still refuses to admit that I released 20 GB of space.

  • My C drive is telling me it has 2% remaining available disk space I can't defragment because this feature requires 15% free space to perform another player I have is 98% space free available on it,...

    How to get to my other drive hard since it is empty and that the system is full 'dangerous' percentage has got me nervous but I use my computer rarely at 98%, I have no excessive programs I have not 'game' on this subject I've basically use it to a company of Quickbooks, photos, music, e-mail, my C drive is small, but my other is 98% empty please help

    Hello Sunsoaked,

    Thank you for your message.  The best thing you can do at this stage is to begin to copy the data from your hard drive on your external hard drive.  You mentioned that you have a lot of photos and music.  These are two of the easiest to transfer items.  To do this, copy your complete record of the music and the image on the hard drive.  After you be sure that all your data has been copied, you can then delete the music and images of the hard drive which is full.  This should dissipate enough disk space for you to perform a defrag, etc.  Remember that when you delete these items, you will also have to empty the trash free up disk space.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • lack of available disk space

    I am running vista premium on a lenovo thinkpad t61p.  I have a drive 141 GB.  My computer shows 16 GB of free space, but I can only find 50 GB of files and folders using WinDirStat and other cartographers in car.  How to bring back the missing 75 GB?

    So I guess this isn't a problem with system restore.

    I am trying to moving images (using Move in Windows) of my HDD on an external hard drive. Once completed, it is always an image of the picture remaining in Adobe PSE that is not connected. I have not deleted from the catalog again.

    Please note this is not my backup, but uses the external hard drive to store files, I use rarely.

    You should certainly not use Windows to move photos that were imported in the Organizer. This disconnects the photos. You won't be able to do anything with photos of organizer before you reconnect. There are several ways to reconnect photos. Once solve you this problem, you must only use the Organizer to move photos from one album to another. Location of folder view (alt-ctrl-3) to do this.

    Your photos are not and have never been in the Organizer.  They exist on your hard drive, and organizing contains a pointer to the actual photo. The picture you see in the Organizer is a small thumbnail, not your original photo, which remains on your hard drive where you put it. The thumbnail takes only a little space.
