full disk and vm stops how to remove the old clichés in safe mode?

Hello

I have a workstation dell t1500 with 16 GB, 500 GB hard drive and latest version of vmware workstation 7 and me two successfully have converted old desktop pc... everything works very well for more than 40 days, but the disk is full, because when you set up the vm 2, I put autoprotect with files instead of single file splitted.

So now I can't use all the vm 2 because vmware workstation 7 show me a message that the disc is full and need more space to works.

Can someone lead me step by step how to free space on the disk in a safe mode not to lose my vm 2?

here to set you can find the following files for each virtual machine (one is called sw1 and the other is called tekno1)

  • the vmx file
  • the vmsd file
  • all vmware*.log files
  • a list of files in the folder of the virtual machine on the screen a picture

Great, looks like Autoprotect just to add another capture instant sw1 - 000002.vmdk.

I think that the best and the way the safest is to make cloning.

Here are the steps: (I guess the external drive drive letter X :)

  • Stop the virtual machine
  • Save all files, unless already done
  • Take a look at sw1.vmx to see what vmdk is currently connected to the virtual machine (most likely now is sw1 - 000002.vmdk)
  • run: md X:\sw1-clone
  • run: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware - vdiskmanager.exe «r - t 0 X:\sw1-clone\sw1.vmdk C:\vm\sw1\sw1-000002.vmdk»»
  • If successful, remove all the files all the c:\vm\sw1 except for sw1.vmx, sw1.vmxf, and nvram
  • run: copy X:\sw1-clone\sw1.vmdk c:\vm\sw1
  • Edit the sw1.vmx file and replace sw1 - 000002.vmdk by sw1.vmdk

  • 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:

    Current data warehouses associated with VM (really unique using the 4 data store)

    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.

  • How to remove the old compressed files? I have over 200,000.

    After being run-up disk cleanup, I show more than 200,000 old compressed files.  How can I remove them?

    You delete a file compressed just the way that you remove any other file, BUT...

    You can't really delete these 'compressed old files.  By default, in Windows XP Disk Cleanup tool will compress files that have not been used for 50 days.  Well, you can keep the files to which you have not accessed in the past two months.

    You can change the disk cleanup period is used to determine if a file is 'old'--> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/make-disk-cleanup-compress-olderor-newer-files-on-xp/

    However, many people (including me) just disable the analysis of "old files" because it is run much faster disk cleanup: see, for example,--> http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?49060-Disable-Compress-Old-Files-in-Disk-cleanup or http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm straight line 48 (notice that there are two links, one to turn off "compress old files" and the other for him re - allow to) those reg files also change how Disk Cleanup deals by default temporary files - temporary files accessed during the 7 days are not deleted; the first files reg Kelly happening in 0 days and the file "undo" restores the default value of 7 days).

  • How to remove the old Hello msi file

    make the misstake of trying to download the new itunes to message delete old Hello computer msi keep can someone help? PS also tried using itunes help they say that I'm not on the internet

    It really helps to have the full error message.  It's not like if you pay by the letter questions posted in these forums.

    Based on the almost total absence of information in your message, my guess is that your old iTunes installation has become corrupted, or partially deleted, and as a result, you cannot install the new version.

    The simplest thing to do is just clean things, and then try again.

    Used to have a tool just to do this, called the Windows Installer Microsoft Cleanup utility.  Apparently, however, when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), removes sometimes more he was supposed to, and that's why Microsoft has removed the tool of its download servers.

    The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

    Here are the usual directions to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes, based on Support of Apple HT1926 article.

    Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
    Remove these applications:
