Free space on C drive

Hi, as above after upgrading to Windows 7 XP problems drve C being nearly full. Have tried all the usuals like cleaning disc etc. I don't know if its possible to go into the weeds and look at individual files on C to see if they are necessary, but to be honest I probably would'nt have the level of knowledge required just by looking at a file name to see if it can be removed or secondly say transferred to data disk hard drive D (and if so how)

If there is no soil; reduction by this method would be the next likely method increase the capacity of the disc from the drive C?

Also experienced many updates on implementing start and stop (generally from 50 to 65) not coming with xp (rarely and in single digits)

regards Stuart

Hi Stuart,

I suggest you try the given steps and check if it helps

· R UN disk cleanup. This tool removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need. For more information, see delete files using disk cleanup.

· Uninstall old programs. In addition to the removal of the old files, you want more, you can do the same for the programs that you no longer use. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

· Delete all but the last restore point. System Restore uses points to return your system files to the State they were in at an earlier point in time to restore. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points. For more information, see delete files using disk cleanup.

Add another hard drive. Adding an external hard drive is an easy way to create plenty of extra space to store digital photos, videos, music and other files and clear space on your primary hard drive.

Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Free space on hard drive for HP PROBOOK 450 G0 - H0U95EA

    Hello

    I'm looking for a laptopo HP, I would like to know the free space on hard drive for HP PROBOOK 450 G0 - H0U95EA.

    In the datasheet there are 750GB but in a boutique internet... I found that free space is that of 320 GB, is it good?

    Thank you!

    Marco

    More new software installs would more or less 60 gigs and a 750 GB drive reads as on 690 concerts in Windows Explorer. There will be a recovery partition and system partition that could take up to another 20 GB or more. Free space out of the box is still more than 575 casual jobs. That will decrease as games for Windows restore points.

  • Free space on hard drive shown incorrectly

    My drive C (SW_Preload) has about 200 GB of space. When I click on 'Computer' in windows Explorer, it says that the total free space is 20 GB of used space 180 GB IE. However, when I select all folders and files on my C drive and select properties it shows the total size on disk is only 70 GB. I don't have this with the other readers (Lenovo and SERVICEV003).

    Does anyone know why this is so? My basket is empty and runnign short space when I know that there is still plenty of space on the drive (the laptop is only 3 months and I copied only 1-2 records this to that).

    Hello Hitchkee,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forums for Windows Vista. I hope you do well.

    To reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, you can 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. Follow the link below for more details:

    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/1264bc24-72a8-48AA-84e3-a355327139d91033.mspx

    There are a number of issues that contribute to the difference:

    Hidden and system files -Windows Explorer display above was using the default settings that do not display the files marked as 'hidden' or 'system', and therefore, they are not included in the calculation. Change this setting increases the "size on disk" by about 7 gigabytes that all the hidden files on my machine have been included in the calculation. In particular, which included the system pagefile and hibernation, which are large file and marked as hidden.

    To change the settings, you can follow the steps below:

    Start Windows Explorer, and then:
    Click on the Tools menu
    Click the folder menu item Options...
    Click the view tab
    In the advanced settings list, scroll down until you see the hidden files and folders and Hide protected operating system files.
    Make sure that the hidden files and folders is selected. I also uncheck Hide operating system files - for the same reason protected: I don't want to hide it from me, the Windows files.

    Directories - directories, or lists and indexes of files on your machine are not the files themselves, but they don't take place.

    The Table of Allocation of file or the master file Table - FAT itself, Hall of Fame of FAT file system, is actually pretty low. The MFT, however, used in NTFS file systems is also stored on the disk but not visible as a file. It defines where the used and free space on a drive is actually. Depending on the size of your drive, your files and the size of the allocation unit, the MFT can be quite large.

    The log file - this is a file, but even once, you won't see it. It's NTFS internal data.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Kind regards

    Did you start the Windows XP installation?

    You have external storage devices connected to the machine? If so, disconnect them all. In addition, if you have several internal storage devices, disconnect them all except the target device where Windows will be installed.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Is there anyway I can move or remove 2.43 GB hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys 4.39 GB in a defferent drive because I'm running out of space on my C: drive?  They take so much space.

    See this tutorial to move the swap file, however, I recommend have at least a 900MB

  • Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

    I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

    The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

    The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

    I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

    DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

    I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

    Here are a few screenshots:

    ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

    ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

    ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

    ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

    ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

    I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

    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.
