Hard drive almost to zero space

I had my T61p under Vista Ultimate for 2 months. It has a 100g drive that seems to work fine after running diagnostics on this subject. I installed a few games that I have since uninstalled and outside about 2 GB of iTunes, there is nothing more than 500 MB on the system. I have run programs like ccleaner & deleted everything I feel is not necessary, but the player is still only between 4-8 g of free space. What I can say, drive C is the only occupant of the place. I had a couple of blue screens, but only after the beginning of sleep.
I don't mind completely erase the hard drive, but I don't know if I have a copy of Vista. They sent me some recovery disks, but I don't see anything that is labeled as Vista. I have a Xp pro installed on an another Thinkpad disk. Don't you erase the hard drive is the best solution?

  • Equium A200 - 15l - hard drive almost full Vista, what now?

    On my hard drive of laptop theres 2.
    C; Vista and E; Data.
    My Vista drive is almost full so what do I do now?
    I thought that once the Vista was full disk of data take longer, but no.

    Advice please.

    Hello.

    You can do this:

    1. disk cleanup
    2 turn off the system restore
    3. create a new hard driver small, extracted from your data disc, for swap space. Leave the C drive for the new driver swap space. If you have 2 GB of memory, you can find, it is useful to create a hard drive to third with 4 GB of swap space, or windows will use the drive space it.
    4 format your hard drive and perform a new installation. You don't like it I guess :)

    Good luck.

  • Once that a file is uploaded to iCloud drive remove it from my hard drive to free up space?

    I want to free up space on the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. Once I have download on iCloud can I delete from my hard drive and still maintain a file of cloud?  Another way to put it: once a file is uploaded to iCloud by car, if I remove my hard drive it will remove automatically iCloud drive?

    Thank you

    iCloud Drive is a synchronization service. If you delete a file from iCloud, it is removed from iCloud drive and vice versa.

    It is not an effective way to free up space on your MacBook.

  • trying to erase my hard drive to make the space more

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    You can rarely get enough disk space to make this valid process. If your hard drive is close to full, consider an upgrade to the larger hard drive on a hard drive.  Most new hard drives are equipped with the software from your old hard drive to the new "clone" so you do not need to reinstall all your software.

  • icloud drive I can copy from my external hard drive and takes no space on my internal flash drive

    I have a macair with 128 GB, I want to copy movies from my external HD to my icloud drive so that I can access without it too much space on my internal flash drive. I have 200 GB of storage on my icloud drive

    If you have iCloud drive turned on in your MacBook Air, it automatically keeps a local copy on your Mac. If you hold down Option key and open the menu go to the Finder and click library, and then click Documents Mobile (or more simply click on iCloud drive in the menu go to the Finder), it will take you to the location of the local copy.

    It is design direction to the synchronization of data between the devices rather than as a place of storage, where the only copy is in the cloud.

  • can I safely delete older service packs or updates of my hard drive to free up space?

    I use a Dell mini 9

    I use a Dell mini 9

    Removing updates or service packs would be quite wise. You would be without all the security improvements and other things that they have provided.

    In addition, they take only a small amount of space. If this space is important to you, there is only one real solution: replace your drive with a bigger.

  • How long should it take a backup of your laptop (windows Vista) on an external hard drive (Lots if free space.

    I'm writing this, it took well over 30 mins so far and it's not even halfway through the.

    Hello Stephen Murphy,

    It really depends on what you save. Small files shouldn't take more than a few minutes (or seconds), plus large (1 GB for example) files may take 4 or 5 minutes or a bit longer.

    If you back up your entire drive you might be looking at hours for backup.

    Another problem, of course, is the speed of the USB connection on the external drive. 1 USB, for example will be much slower that USB 2 and USB 2 will be slower than the USB 3.

    In many cases, it is necessary to "play the game of waiting" until the data transfer is completed.

  • HARD drive almost full on Tandberg Content Server V5.1

    Hello guys,.

    I have a question shirtcity TCS, we run out of space on our Tandberg content server

    Looking in the box of TCS, there is OGG files stored in E:\data\rtpdumps that seem to be a kind of multimedia files to ogg format
    They must ask themselves to play WMV files in the Media folder?
    Should we be clean rtpdumps file manually? The files are in total 40GB

    Software version: S5.1

    Thanks for your help;

    Vincent

    Hello Vincent.

    In the rtpdumps folder, the OGG files are raw support for records file, do not delete.  If you choose to change the layout, or options for any streaming record, later the exit which is re-transcoded with these changes will be generated using this gross media file.

    Have you considered setting to the top of your TCS with a NAS that is sufficient to hold all the files on external storage media?  When using external storage with the TCS, all files contained in E:\data will be transferred to the external storage.  You can find more information on the use of external storage in the TCS administration guide, page 115.

  • Best external hard drive of programs?

    Hello

    I am a Mac user and I am currently using:

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013)

    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Iris 1536 MB Intel

    OS X El Capitan

    250 GB of storage.

    My Mac storage is almost full, and I am considering buying an external hard drive to free up space on my internal hard drive. However, I wanted to know if you can put programs on an external hard drive and if so, which is the best external hard drive for programs, for the cheapest price.

    I really don't want to pay more than 100 GBP.

    Between 50 and 70 GBP is my ideal price range, however, if there is an external hard drive that is absolutely amazing for a bit before, I can consider buying.

    If you cannot put programs on an external hard drive, which external hard drive is the best for a Mac?

    Furthermore, is it possible to add storage space for my internal drives?

    Thank you and I hope you can help me.

    Most of the programs broadcast their parts through several system directories.  A few programs I've seen work completely in a single directory.  Loading programs on "external" is delicate at best... unless the outside is a complete external operational system in-itself.

    With regard to external hard drives... people give me grief for continue to recommend, but...

    A single hard drive with a single disc is, in my experience, a compromise.  Mediocre quality disks combined with poor quality map interface and this card can do the contents of the drive not except through this controller... re-use of the disk outside this House requires reformat and loss of content.

    I use this external box http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MSTG800U3K/ that allows Exchange in all 2.5 in SATA drive.  The enclosure is of good quality, and you can get better quality discs to be inserted.  So when doen with one disk, exchange for another.  I use mine for player data and images, several clones/backups and test for the new OSXes drives and can use it to any number of other disks.

  • How do I move files HD internal to external hard drive

    My internal HD has about 21 remaining G that prevents me from creating a slide show with music.  I anticipate the purchase of an external hard drive to free up space on my internal HD, which automatically backs up everything.  I would also like to delete some of the files are no longer needed.  I think that some of my iTune files have been left out due to lack of space.  It seems that every time that I have access to my iTunes library that it backs up the session, and that means there are layers of libraries being backed up.  I don't want to remove the original library and I noticed that there are layers of folders previous library, previous library eating.  I do not know the importance of these and do not want to recover as much of my iTunes library I can.

    Just drag and drop. Nothing more complex than that, of course, you will have to format the external hard drive first using disk utility. The Mac OS extended (journaled) format and then drag and drop.

  • How can I migrate my Mozilla folder on a hard drive with it works?

    Hi, I used to love Mozilla Firefox but I stopped using it for a year, it is incredibly slow, you can't do anything! I don't know what to do. My hard drive has plenty of space, but I can not understand how to put my Mozilla folder in my hard drive with it noticing, help? I really can't manage google chrome more.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    You can also try a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

  • Setting up an external hard drive to the iTunes library

    Hello world

    Drive hard internal 1 TB of my iMac is near capacity because of my growing iTunes library of music and movies.

    To revitalize the iMac that I am eager to free up space, install a new SSD and examine the possibility of moving my iTunes library on an external hard drive to save storage space.

    Here are some questions that I came with:

    1. Is it pretty easy to transfer my existing library on a hard drive external?
    2. It would be a stable and preferred solution?
    3. When you import, choose 'Copy to iTunes' preferences?
    4. Can I use my 2 TB Apple AirPort Extreme as the new destination of my iTunes library?
    5. Can I use Time Machine to back up the iTunes library on the new drive external hard or if it uses the spare wheel on the AirPort Extreme?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Yes. Drag the entire library on the external drive, launch iTunes with down option and select it.

    2. Yes, but see #4.

    3. allow the same all the other parameters.

    4 n ° your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

    5. Yes, if he is on a drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Time Machine doesn't backup disk inside a Time Capsule.
