  Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

  * original title - I need help to find out how deliet some files. I have tried everything what awmost. At this point, I'm riealy together and I was woundering if you can help me please? *

  Unfortunately, if you see messages that say you're low disk space, you will probably need to have a bigger drive installed on your computer.  This shouldn't be very expensive.

  In the meantime, you can delete files using the disk cleanup tool in Windows (click here to see a video how-to):

  1. click on start, then click my computer
  2. right click on 'disk Local (c)' and then click on properties (at the bottom of the menu that opens).
  3. click on the button that says "Disk Cleanup".
  4. When you get to the list of the types of files to remove, if one of the lines, says "Office installation files" do not check that.  Otherwise, you can check all the boxes.
  5. Once you have ticked the boxes, click on the OK button.

  The process can take a long time.

• I deleted my pictures and videos to free up space on my iPhone 6, but the settings and iTunes still say that I've not left storage. Help, please.

  Hello

  I have an iPhone 6 and uses iOS 9.3.2,and I recently deleted all my pictures and videos to free up space, "Manage the storage" in still however said circles I 23.4 GB of photos/videos like iTunes when I connect my iPhone to my Mac. I deleted my recently deleted folder and follow the instructions of a guy showing a year, which suggests to set my phone date about two years back and deleting the photos recently deleted the file and both of these solutions do not work. I have reset my phone (home and power button operation / stop) and also, it does not work. I don't want to wipe my phone and restore it if possible, but it's the only option I can think of next.

  Are there other solutions before I try this?

  Thanks in advnace

  Ben

  Hey Ben,

  Thanks for stopping by the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you are trying to free up space on your iPhone by deleting all the photos and videos, and you still see 23.4 GB absorbed by these files. You have already made sure to empty your recently deleted album, fix the date of return on your phone and performed a hard reset on your device. You did an excellent job so far, and I'll be happy to give you some ideas to move forward from here.

  Before diving into other troubleshooting procedures, it would be useful to ensure that you have a recent backup of your iPhone is available. This will help us ensure that all your important data is stored safely for you. Here is an article with information on how to backup your device:

  The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

  Once it is in place, I recommend you to reset the settings on your phone. This is not the impact of your personal data, but you will have to perhaps adjust the user specific settings, but also re - enter passwords and Wi - Fi networks. To complete this step, go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings. When you restart your phone, check if the local storage on your phone has updated to reflect the changes you did related to your photos and videos.

  Beyond that, you want to look at your phone erase and reset to the factory settings. It is possible that some kind of software corruption causes the divergence of storage that you are experiencing. Set up your phone as a new device via iTunes install a new copy of iOS and also to exclude the corrupted files, etc. in your user data. This is a resource for this process:

  Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

  For later use, it may be useful to use iCloud photo library to transfer and store your photos. There is a feature that allows you to optimize the storage on your iPhone so that your photos and your videos do not have as much local storage space. Check out this resource to learn more about iCloud photo library:

• What is the best way to "clean up/free space" on my computer? Thank you

  What is the best way to clean/free up space on my computer?  Even do not know where to look to see how much space I use... Thank you.

  A loss of main surface within each user profile would be penchant of EI for the storage of copies (or much) of almost every web page, your friend has already visited.  Try to reduce the amount of temporary Internet files put in cache, which is huge by default.  I always bring it back to a maximum of 50 MB.  In Internet Explorer, click on tools > Internet Options > general, temporary files > settings.

  Same principle for the Java cache. Start > Control Panel > Java > temporary Internet files > settings.

  The System Volume Information is the folder in restoration of which WinXP system feature stores information to retrieve errors.  By default, Windows XP sets aside a maximum of 12% of the size of the partition to store the information of the System Volume, but the amount of space reserved for this purpose can be adjusted by the user.  Start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > System Restore Settings, select the relevant partition and click settings.  If you don't want to use the system at all, restore simply to turn off System Restore (start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system, System Restore settings restore) and restart.  This will remove all your Restore Points, thus freeing up hard disk space.

  An another great space waster may be trash.  By default, it takes up to 10% of the capacity of your hard drive. On today's big hard disks, it's a lot of waste.  It can be set to a lower limit by right clicking the desktop Receycle Bin icon, select Properties, and using the scroll bar to reduce the maximum size to something more reasonable - 1% to 2% should be more than enough space.

• 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?

• I ran out of free space on the hard drive how can I free up space

  My pc is freezing or locking up when I run a desktop wallpaper animated, so I defragment a saw that I was up to 20% freespace

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• Windows backup: if I delete a file on my computer, it deletes the file on my backup too?

  I recently discovered that the feature of automatic backup of windows on my computer and I'm thrilled about it (I think...). So far, my method of backup was just copy and paste all my files on an external hard drive. This method works very well, but it of a lot of time because I have to open each file and include the files or documents are new since my last backup and then drag them over my external hard drive. Very labor intensive.

  Thus, windows backup will do that for me automatically? It will recognize the new files and save them to each backup of the future that I create? And what would you say if the already-saved files are renamed or reorganized on my computer? The backup file will recognize these changes? Or he will treat them as if they are new files (and then let me with duplicates on the backup file)?

  Also, after I backed up my files on my external hard drive, I want to be able to remove some of these files on my computer (in order to free up space on my computer). But these files will then always be on my backup file?   In other words, let's say I finished my initial backup and then delete some files on my computer... on my next backup, windows will see that I have deleted some files from my computer and think I also want these deleted my backup files? Or he'll just leave these files on the backup?

  Hello

  Yes, the Windows 7 backup allows you to create the backup schedule. If you have deleted files after the backup is created, the files must be available in the Windows 7 backup. In your new scheduled backup files are added incremental basis if they available even if you delete them from your computer. All you have to do is to restore them. You can restore individual files or folder tree.

  Some useful tips on Windows backup:

  • Make sure that you create the full backup or an Image of the computer before trying to scheduled backup
  • Create a daily backup schedule, using the Panel\Backup command and restoration centre
  • Verify that your scheduled backups are created every now and then
  • Run a test backup first, just to become familiar with the Windows backup
  • Try to use an external HARD drive that is bootable for backup and create a system restore disk. Just in case you need to restore your Windows 7 full

• Can I uninstall Lightroom 4 to free up space? [was: Photoshop/Lightroom]

  I'm trying to free up space in my computer.  I am currently using lightroom 5.7 but kept lightroom 4.6 on my computer.  Can I uninstall lightroom 4.6 for free space.  All the information recorded when I upgraded?

  You can certainly uninstall older versions of Lightroom, but it won't release a huge amount of space, most likely your photos take much more space than the Lightroom program resumes. If you want to move the photos to another hard drive, let us know, we can provide instructions.

  All the information recorded when I upgraded?

  If you chose to update previous versions of Lightroom Catalog, it is then distributed to 5.7 LR. If you don't install the catalog Lightroom 5.7, so some of the information is still in the previous catalog file, and you need to upgrade to LR 5.7
