Free space on my computer

I'm trying to free up space on my computer to uninstall programs I don't have.  I currently have 70 programs installed and I noticed that the 2 are for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x 64), 3 are for Microsoft Visual c++ 2008 Redistributable - x 64 9.0.3, 3 are for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x 86 9.0.3, 1 for redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (x 64) 11.0 and 1 Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable 2013 (x 64) 12.0.  Can I uninstall the older programs and just keep the most recent, or do I have to keep all these?  My Factory Image drive (D :) showed currently that I have 1.57 GB free to 10.6 GB.

Thank you

Remove programs to save the workspace is virtual waste of time.  They take up very little space.  The real culprits are usually videos and movies.

The size of your D drive is certainly not something with that you should be wrong.

What is your hard drive?

You have partitioned it?

How much space is used in every area of the partition/Vs?

  • free up space on my computer by deleting photos

    I want to free up space on my computer if I want to delete the photos saved on the computer

    can you me tell step by step how to do this, these are photos I have saved in the computer, originally taken from
    our camera or our ipods.

    Hello katwhitehouse,

    I guess that you have backups of these photographs? If this isn't the case, I suggest that you back up to another drive, or a DVD.

    Regarding the removal of photographs, it is a simple matter of opening the case were that the photographs are stored, by selecting each photograph, right-click on it and select delete in the menu drop-down. If you have lots of photos to remove games from the first then move to the last. Before clicking on the last of them, press the SHIFT key on your keyboard and hold it down while you click the last photo. All photography will be selected. Just a click on the selection, and in the drop-down menu, select Remove. All photographs will be then delete.

    -LIST DISK
    -SELECT DISK [enter disk number]
    -PARTITION LIST
    -SELECT PARTITION 2 (or the number of partition needs to be absorbed)
    -DELETE PARTITION (This reformatted the partition to be absorbed, so make sure you have a copy of your files elsewhere)

    d. now, to extend the C: partition
    -LIST OF VOLUME
    -SELECT VOLUME [enter the number of the volume assigned to your C drive]

  • I have an Air of MacBk 2010 & I get the mssg "system is out of memory of the application", so it is impossible to open the Mail, Safari, etc.. But sometimes I can't. I deleted photos or videos for free space; no luck. What should do?

    I get the message "your system has wearied of the memory of the Application." So I can not open Mail, Safari, or any application.  However, I can periodically, the first thing in the morning, after I Shut Down & power up, not after a reboot.  I deleted a lot of photos and videos to free up space, but not luck.  IPhotos, I get the mssg. "cannot import pictures because not enough free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library."     The problem might be related to: 1 overheating, 2 PureVPN although I installed about 5 months ago and it was very good; 3. the MB Air was diverted (I'm worried that PureVPN may have something to do with it).  Or is this a sign that I need to get a new laptop?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  • How can I get the 'free space' in my SSD back?

    I tried to install windows via boot camp on my macbook air 2013 Wizard but I got an error during partitioning and restarting the laptop now I'm stuck with my Macintosh HD impossible to return to full capacity. So I tried to search the net to find answers, but I could not find. I have about 55 GB of free space, how could I get it back? I'm also on El Capitan. My ssd is 250 GB and macintosh that HD used to identify all 250 now it is stuck at 199 - ish. Thank you!

    Have you tried to use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the partition that it created? If you do not, then you should give it a try. If instead you tried to solve it using disk utility, then you have garbaged s disk RDB. Either you can take a long time to find out how to solve this problem using the Terminal or you can clone your OS X volume to another disk using disk utility or Carbon Copy Cloner, boot from the clone, erase your internal drive, the clone of restoration on the internal drive, then restart your computer from the internal drive.

    Step 1: Fix the hard disk and permissions

    Boot from an OS X install disc

    1. Insert the OS X installation disc into the optical drive.

    2 restart the computer.

    3. immediately after the ring, press and hold the C"" key.

    4 release the button when the spinning gear under the Apple grey dark

    logo appears.

    5. wait for the installer to finish loading.

    Boot from a recovery HD:

    1. reboot the computer.

    2. immediately after the ring, press and hold the

    'ORDER' and the set of keys 'R '.

    3. release the keys when appears the utilities Menu.

    After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the button continue. When the menu bar appears, select disk utility from the menu of the Installer (the menu utilities for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard).

    For Lion or later select disk utility in the main Menu of public services.

    After disk utility loads select your entry from hard drive (to mfgr. ID and Player size) of the list on the left.  In the disk utility status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed. (State SMART is not reported on external drives Firewire or USB). If the drive is "verified", then select your OS X volume in the list on the left (subentries under the entry for the road), click the first aid tab, then click the repair disk button. If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the installer.

    If Disk utility reports errors, that it can not solve, then Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you do not have one of them or none of them can fix the disc, then you will need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS X.

    Second stage: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place of the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC , which is also a good supplier for the readers.

    Step 3: boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the OPTION key until the Boot Manager appears.  Select the icon of the HD to the external hard drive recovery, and then click the arrow pointing down.

    Fourth step: new preparation of the hard drive

    1. open utility disk in the utility Main Menu, then click on the continue button.

    2. the disk utility charges and then select your new hard drive (it's the entry with the)

    MFGR. ID and size) from the list on the left. Note the SMART status of

    the reader in the status area of THE.  If it says not "verified" and then the player

    is failing or has failed and will need replacement.  Otherwise, click on the

    Tab in the main window of the disk utility partition .

    3. in the title of the Volume entitled plan defined the number of partitions from

    the drop to one. Set the type of Mac OS Extended format

    (Journaled). Click the Options button, set the partition scheme

    GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition/apply button and

    Wait until the process is completed.

    4. Select the volume you just created (it's the auxiliary input under the)

    entry by car) from the list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in THE MAIN

    window.

    5. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). Click on the

    The button options , check the box for zero data and click OK to

    return to the window to erase it.

    6. click on the delete button. The formatting process can take up to several

    hours depending on the size of the disk.

    Fifth step: clone the old disk to the new disk

    1. Select the destination volume in the list on the left.

    2. click on the tab restore in the main window of THE.

    3. check the box labeled destination Erase.

    4. Select the destination volume in the left list and drag it to the

    Destination entry field.

    5. Select the volume of the source of the list on the left and drag it to the

    Input source field.

    7. check you correctly, then click on the restore button.

    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.

    Step 6: open preferences Startup disk and select the new internal volume.  Click restart.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the disk and disconnect it from the computer.
