Freeing disk space

I try to free up space on my hard drive by deleting files and programs that I don't use or don't need.  While in 'Disk Defragmenter' under 'File', I clicked on options and found "changes to the view of a console file are stored in your profile.  These files are all that I really need or should I go ahead and remove them?

You can safely remove them.

    I'm a novice so keep things simple: I'm freeing disk space: I installed a Service Pack 2 for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and also a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2. Do I need these two?... the 3.0 and 2.0. Here are the 2 biggest programs. Also, do I need something called Adobe reader? ..... The 4th most grand is a 'HP Customer Participation 9.0' program which I cannot remove. In my Add / Remove control panel when I click to delete this nothing happens.

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    .NET framework is a software framework that is necessary for the proper functioning of the computer. Many programs rely, to not uninstall them.
    About Adobe Acrobat Reader, it is a type of file opening/handling application portable document format (PDF). If you feel you don't need a reader/visualization of PDF software, you can uninstall it.
    On the subject of HP Customer Participation Program 9.0, you can contact HP support for help.
    In addition, you can try the following to free disk space:
    Go to computer-> select C:\ drive-> click on-> click Properties. On the general tab, click Disk Cleanup. Open Disk Cleanup dialog box, click Ok. This will delete all the unwanted files. Do this for each hard drive partition. In addition, click Windows key + r Run dialog opens. type %temp% , and then press Ok.

  • msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the partition relevant, clicking Retry

    Hello


    I've seen various threads on this topic but have not found a resolution or explanation that fits my specific scenario.


    I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space.  Last night, I'm moving on our Exchange 2003 Server mailboxes when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

    msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant partition, and then click Retry.  Otherwise, click Cancel to end this session.  Try again / Stop

    Retry reproduced the error... Stop stop the virtual machine.

    After I stop, I look in the client vsphere under hardware > storage > SAN where the disc is, and I find that I'm out of space.

    Now, I created multiple snapshots I could fall back on since when I was doing the initial setup of the Exchange.  I deleted a large number of people and got up to about 50 GB of free space showing on the SAN.  However, this number is declining slowly.

    Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks?  This will become a huge problem that I have several other mailboxes to move and I thought that I had already allocated to the space I need.

    Why is that when the server is just sitting there.  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thickness)

    Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?

    Hello.

    "I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space. »

    You have created 630 GB of thick disks on a 700 GB of data store.  Thick disks use this allocated space, no matter what operating system did with them in terms of use. Yes GB 630 thickness = 630 GB used space on the data store.

    "Last night, I'm moving on the mailboxes of our Exchange 2003 server, when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

    You still snapshots (as you also mentioned) on this virtual machine as well.  With only 70 GB of free space on the data store, the snapshots are defintely going to be able to fill the volume in short order.

    «Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).»  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks? »

    When you create the snapshot, a new drive is created that will get all new disk writes.  So to copy a large number of mailboxes will use a lot of space quickly.

    "Why is that when the server is just sitting there."  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thick) »

    Thick is using space, and convert it into thin disks may help to varying degrees - depending on the amount of writes.  It is above all the snapshots of the origin of the problem, or at least it's where you can focus your attention to solve this.

    "Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?"

    Remove snapshots and/or move this virtual machine to a data store greater would be the simpler of two corrections.

    Good luck!

  • CiscoWorks - freeing of disk space

    Hi people,

    Our old CWLMS 3.2.1 becomes short on disk space, it was suggested that the directories named 731, 732 and 733 on the D: drive could be deleted. The three directories seem to have the same subdirectories (see attachment), were all created in February 2012, and use about 5 GB of space each.

    I don't know if these three records are essential to the operation of Ciscoworks or whether they are the remains of some maintenance actions; In short, I can remove them?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Hi Scott,.

    What are the backup of the theCWLMS .  If you have kept 3 different instance of the backup of the LMS.

    If you have another backup somewher then you can remove all three, or you can atleast remove 2 and keep 1 to be a safer side.

    Thank you-

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages.

    Please when Mozilla is going to permanently fix this problem.
    This limitation is stand to fully trust on Thunderbird.

    This information will explain why you have a problem of disk space.

    E-mail messages are downloaded to the Inbox e-mail account.

    The Inbox must be low or even empty number e-mail. The Inbox has been designed as an Inbox for mail and must therefore be used for this purpose read mail must be moved to a folder that is appropriate for the storage or deletion.

    If you have e-mail in the Inbox folder, and then move the appropriate folders.

    In the e-mail Pop accounts, emails are downloaded and stored in a single mbox file, one email after another in the order they have been downloaded. Keep the very large number of emails in a single file is a risk not worth taking. Where the ability to create new folders and Archives of old messages.

    If you email a few months, check them.
    Old messages should be archived by month and year, and folder structure should be maintained. This includes the folder "sent" that this folder can sometimes be allowed to get huge. Archiving Range old messages and creates files more small that uses less memory when opening.

    After removing the emails in appropriate records and archiving old messages, create a backup and then compact the folders.
    When you delete an email, from your point of view that it disappears eg: Inbox and reappears in the trash. In reality, it is always in the Inbox, "marked as deleted", so it is still using the space. When you compact this folder, these emails "marked as deleted" are entirely deleted, freeing up a space. If you do not compact on a regular basis, you run a risk of becoming of the corrupted file and losing everything in the file.

    Assuming that the compression went ok, create a new backup so that you have an up-to-date backup.

    Additionally, make sure that emails that you leave on the server are deleted after 30 days at least, so that you don't use space quota on the server. More download and auto Pop mail accounts delete the copy out of the server. I choose to leave them on the server for 30 days, so that between and regular backups on the server, I can retrieve all emails in case of problems.

    PS average experience so feel not too technical.

    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 you have 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. 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.

    To me, this looks like to "HIQASRV2139-000002 - delta.vmdk ' was created, but never used due to disk space problems. For the virtual disk is usable must exist a file descriptor "HIQASRV2139 - 000002.vmdk" too. What you can do is to stop the virtual machine (I'm sure that's not really necessary, but I recommend it for reasons of safety), then pass the "HIQASRV2139-000002 - delta.vmdk" to a folder under rename it and turn on the virtual machine again. If the virtual machine is no problem, you can delete this file.

  • Running out of disk space and the need to remove the old clichés

    I recently joined a company owning an ESXi 4.1.0 (build 260247) server with 4 500GB data warehouses.  One of our servers main database (Ubuntu/Postgres), which uses only one of the data warehouses (4 datastore) has 21GB 465 GB free.  It is currently configured to store all settings, storage and snapshots on this unique data store.  The hard disk is configured as thin.

    The virtual machine has crashed a few days ago, when it ran out of disk space.  We removed a small second partition (which was in the same data store) and cleared space, but we receive extremely weak with only 5% of the data left store.

    I have read many posts and wanted to get the opinion of this community before I move forward.   Because we do not use the 4.1 last I heard some issues using the option "Remove all" that it may require more disk space and others recommended to manually delete snapshots from the closest to the base, but it seems that in this case it can merge the snapshot with the original without freeing all the space.

    We are not all of the snapshots and I'm fine with delete them, but I assure you we will not run out of disk space in the process and complicate things further.

    It is best to manually remove these snapshots starting with the one closest to the base or by using the "Delete All" (or something else)?  In addition, if we go with the manual option, is it possible with the virtual machine upward or do we need to close first?

    Current snapshots:

    Welcome to the community,

    After the screenshot, your virtual disk 'arrow_db1.vmdk' stocked thickness!

    With the thick disc service and ESXi 4.1 (the problem with "Delete All" is related to version 4.0), you can run safely "Delete All". However, due to low disk space, I recommend that do you with the virtual machine off. If turned on, a new temporary snapshot will be created, which - according to the workload of the virtual machine - can grow and fill in the data store.

    Due to the size of snapshot and depending on the speed of your storage space, you need to plan a few hours well downtime.
