Hard disk space problems

I have a MacBook Pro three years, with a hard drive of 250 GB. I have about 28 GB of free space. Try to free up more space that I deleted a few thousand pictures from iPhoto are also in the picture. My photos on the hard drive space has decreased about 5 GB, but the space allocated to the 'other' has increased by a comparable amount. Why?

I don't know but I would download and run Omni DiskSweeper. It can help you to sort out the problems of disk space and free space.

  • Is it normal that Firefox consumes hard disk space open?

    Last week, I noticed the following 'strange' behavior of Firefox on my iMac (under Snow Leopard 10.6.8): while I have the browser open (usually on Facebook) my hard drive space appears to reduce (for example, 265,14 GB 265,01 GB). When I close Firefox and restart my computer, the amount of hard disk space increases again. He don't know if that happened in the past or if it's something normal. I have not installed extensions or themes, my plugins are all updated and I do not have a lot of navigation (the FB open Startpage and cat enough). Firefox doesn't seem to have performance problems, but I just want to know if there is a problem and if I could solve it somehow.

    Firefox uses more a GB of space on my hard drive regularly (sometimes 2GB). This seems excessive - especially since I put the cache size to 500 MB.

  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • Hard disk space is down on its own without adding files or programs.

    original title: reduction of disk space

    My hard disk space is down without my add files or programs. I deleted the files, and after a while, I get the message that I'm out of space disk yet. I ran the windows disk cleaner, but the question is not what I need more disk space - is my drive space decreases continuously. For example, yesterday I got 4.89 GB free, today, I 4.80 - without adding anything to my computer. Any suggestion for what can happen and how to fix this?

    Another minor issue I have is that sometimes windows does not start correctly and I can't open any programs after implementation - in this case, I just restart and it works usually then. Don't know which is related to the question of good memory, but maybe it is?

    I am running Windows Vista Business SP2 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X 61.

    Sounds like you have * something * create journals. Try a number of things, first off this program to see if you can find out where your space is being taken.

    Once you find out where to try and understand what is the cause. You can consider that you have some kind of virus/malware on your computer. Try to run Malwarebytes in safe mode and see what he says.

  • Why Lightroom uses hard disk space if my catalog is in dropbox?

    I am new to Lightroom and love it so far. In addition to some external hard drives backup, I keep all my photos on Dropbox and am currently trying to build my library in Lightroom by importing my photos. Because I'll be editing my photos from multiple computers, I decided to move my Lightroom Catalog to Dropbox as well. This way I can continue to ensure coherence between several machines in my library.

    My question, however, is that whenever I have import photos, I seem to be consumes hard disk space on my computer. I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive. I know that I am using the correct catalog (also the catalog only I have for Lightroom) because use space has increased after my import on my dropbox catalog file.

    I don't know there's a logical reason - as I said, I'm new to Lightroom so always understand the ins and outs. But if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it a lot!

    Thank you

    I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive.

    By default copy of Dropbox (and synchronizes forever) all in your remote Dropbox folder on each device that you have connected to your Dropbox account.

    1 GB of files in your remote Dropbox folder will also chew up to 1 GB of space on each hard disk attached to the Dropbox account.

    The power of the box lies in its timing in order to always have the latest file available on any device connected to your Dropbox account. The compromise is that 5 appliances also each stores its own copy of the same file. Any changes made to any file on any device is synchronized by Dropbox.

    You can save space locally by allowing a selective sync in Dropbox and saying Dropbox folders to synchronize and copy it to the local disk and which ignores.

    Are you using the selective sync Dropbox?

    However, I am not convinced that selective sync will give you the workflow that you are trying to reach.

  • ESXi 4.0 initial installation 208167 used 80G of hard disk space

    Hello

    I'll put up an old HP Proliant DL360 G5 server with two hard drives, managed by the HP Smart Array P400i controller 146SAS.  With RAID 1 + 0, the LogicalDisk is about 136G.  After you have installed the server ESXi 4.0, vSphere client reported that 51G is available for virtual machines.   See attached snapshot.  Back in 2009, on a new DL360 G6 server, I used the same software to ESXi 4.0 and installing used only 2 GB of space.  Which could use the 80G of hard disk space? 

    I noticed a difference in how vSphere client reported the DTX200:

    The DL360 G5, the customer reported the storage as "local disk VMWare..." »

    The DL360 G6, the customer reported the storage as "Home HP series SCSI Disk... »

    Any idea what happened to the 80G?  Thank you.

    -Jim

    If I understand you correctly, there is nothing on the data store yet (i.e. no VMs)? In this case, you can try to remove the data store and recreate to see if it reports the correct size after that.

  • Scratch the disc problems - too much hard disk space?

    Now, here's a question for scratch disk problems. My photoshop (7) used to work (on my old computer), now I have re-installed and it says there are windows paging at the same location and I can not open it because "zero disks are full." I know there are a lot of questions like this, but this one is special. I think the problem is that I have 1.5 TB of free disk space, which apparently is too strong and cause problems (?). In any case, I would like to change the location of drive working but I can't open photoshop to do this. Any suggestions?

    Basically, is it possible for me to change the scratch disk locations if Photoshop does not even open?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Change the location, do nothing or will reset preferences (sorry Manish Sharma). You really need to physically reduce the partition to be below or around the ceiling of 500 GB. It is inevitable that this is inherent in the old file API of e/s who use these programs. Changing the location of scratch disk would do nothing until the partition of the program is stil great lthat and get the program in a loop. Open your drivemanagemnt using the my computer right click-->--> Manage--> disk management and split the partition or whatever.

  • Backup to external hard drive on iCloud &gt; &gt; used internal hard disk space

    Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

    I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

    Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

    The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?

    Thanks for any information you have.

    Data in iCloud cannot synchronize from an external hard drive.

    I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?

    Hello

    It is perhaps that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

    As a new trial and to help eliminate a problem with the Sata controller, try the following.

    Follow the procedure below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in part 3 of 'Try' to see if the operating system is running.  The option 'Try' runs the operating system from the CD without having to install on your HARD drive.  If it works Ok (it will be slow running on a CD), this would tend to confirm that the problem is only with the HARD drive.

    http://www.Ubuntu.com/desktop/get-Ubuntu/download

    If your laptop is still under warranty, you can contact HP and arrange for the replaced HARD disk - you can check your warranty status.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.
