free space on the hard disk of 80% to 10% from one day to the next. What could cause this

My hard drive went from 80%, 10% free until the next day. What is the cause?

Hello

(1) what antivirus program do you use?

(2) version of Windows do you use?

(3) have you made no changes before this problem?   I suggest you try these methods and check.

Method 1:

Delete files using disk cleanup.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

Method 2:

I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

Method 3:

Check a drive for errors.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

    Generally no.
     
    How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
    Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
     
    Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and

    is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this

    It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
    Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
    works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
    with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things

    adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
     
    If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory

    You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
    storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
    any changes to the available disk space.

  • I have 11 GB of free space on my hard disk 37 concerts. I have a xp home edition with sp 3. I'll be able to install windows seven?

    What is the capacity of minimum disk for windows7 32 bit

    Windows 7 requires a minimum of 16 GB of hard drive only for the operating system; because the upgrade to Windows 7, XP requires a custom (clean) install (your hard drive will be formatted so earasing everything) you do not meet the minimum disk space requirement (just by the standards of today ' hui).

    However, there are many other vital needs that must be considered. Windows XP Home only required of 64 MB of RAM; Windows 7 requires 1 GB (1 024 MB) RAM. Windows XP Home Edition required a processor that was held at 233 MHz or faster; Windows 7 requires a processor that runs at 1 GHz or faster. And these specs for Windows 7 are the bare minimum, which would mean that Windows 7 would be but its performance would be less then optimal.

    For Windows 7 complete system requirements are described on the page linked below:

    Windows 7 system requirements
     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

    In addition, Windows 7 was designed to run on the more recent material by using the latest technologies; your Windows XP Home Edition pc probably is at least 7 years and more. In today's technology, your system is almost ancient. Of many computers and hardware manufacturers create drivers for Windows 7 for older computers, so this can be a serious problem. You can run the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which will determine if your system is capable of running the new operating system:

    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    In the Windows 7 Compatibility Center, you can search all your devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and software to determine if they are compatible with Windows 7:

    Windows 7 Compatibility Center
     http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    If your system, devices and programs the requirements for Windows 7 is entirely to you to upgrade or not, but in my humble OPINION No matter what ancient system has simply not material to make Windows 7 run the way you want, and finally you would probably be very disappointed. In other words, it may be time to think about a new computer.

  • Calculate the free space of the lob segment / reclaim space?

    Friends...

    DB: 11 GR 2

    OS: Linux

    I am trying shrink lob segment and recover the free space between the business segments.

    This area in Oracle DB is new to me so try to learn and to shrink the segment.

    I went through various metalink doco (386341.1) but not be able to get answers for below...

    Issues related to the:

    1. how much free space is available in the lob segment?

    2 can I assume 'no LOB DATA' as the free space currently and even will be recovered once the segment will be shrunk?

    3. no disadvantage of using "ALTER TABLE... SHRINK SPACE.

    4. is it true if storage segment is 100 GB as many redo will be generated when trying to alter table... shrink the space?

    I'm following the steps below.

    1 find Segment name-> sys_lob123

    2. find the size of storage - > 100 GB

    3. find the size of the LOB data-> 70

    4. find the size of the data not LOB-> 30

    2. the storage size

    Select 'storage' from dba_extents bytes

    where nom_segment = 'sys_lob123. '

    100 GB

    3. the size of the LOB

    Select dbms_lob.getlength (col_lob) in the table_lob;

    70 GB

    4. the size of the LOB data not

    100-70 = 30 GB (i.e. #3 - #2)

    Thanks in advance and enjoy your time looking into this...

    Use DBMS_REDEFINITION to reorganize the LOB segment, it is the best way to retrieve a LOB segment space. Also use the clause "MEANS of COMPRESS" and SECURE LEADER, creating the temp table. There is no reason that you can use the BASIC FILE. It's online process, which means that your app can stay up to... However, make sure that monitor you the database when executing redef, as it can cause conflicts and slow down your application, in which case you must kill the reorg...

    If this process is not feasible or overwhelms you, "ALTER TABLE MOVE" is another option.

    With 'Displacement of Alter table', you need to rebuild all indexes after you move the LOB segment. Don't forget this is an offline process and your application needs a time out while you do this.

    Here is the query to list the 10 LOBs albums in your database-

    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 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:

    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.

    IM using windows 7 ultimate sp1 with 100 GB hard drive (no partitions) 2 GB ram and 2.3 ghz cpu

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand from the description of the problem, that after deleting a few files of the computer, the hardware space shows 20.9 GB despite 31 GB in Windows 7 computer.

    I understand this must be frustrating, but don't worry, we're here to help and guide you in the right direction.

    I suggest you try these methods and check if it helps.

    Try logging in SafeMode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem is resolved, perform the scan anti-virus in SafeMode with network.

     

    Method 1

    Step 1

    Start your computer in safe mode with networking.

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Run the disk check to check for possible errors.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to repair. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

  • How to extend the partition that has free space on the left with diskpart

    I bought an SSD and made a second partition on my HARD drive to transfer my data. I had planned to clone and move the light to my SSD partition, but read that I was better to do a new install. I made a new installation on the SSD drive, deleted the old partition of Windows 7 and went to add to the data partition unallocated space (unallocated space is to the left of the partition). I know that you can not do this with disk management, but I've done it before on my laptop Windows 7 by using diskpart. I found an article earlier about how use diskpart to do what disk management may not, but I don't know how or where I found it.

    I know I can do it with applications 3rd party like GParted, but knowing that it is possible, but don't remember how to do it with diskpart is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

    Hi Schwaka,

    As a general rule, it is very easy to extend the partition when the free space is right behind, but what can you do with the space left? Most people will feel that it is really a great difficulty.

    Do not worry! Here I recommend you an easy to use, software AOMEI Partition Wizard Server Edition. It is so common among computer users and most of the people speak highly.

    Your problem, there are two choices for you. We have to move the space unallocated behind, and the other is to merge the free space on the data partition. Both functions may not be permitted in Windows 7 disk management. In addition to the two features, more functions are supported to manage your drive.

    Have fun with it!

    Best wishes!

  • Cant' import images of Photos because "it is not enough free space on the volume of your library to import the selected items.
