How to clear the Windows.edb file in Windows 8

DISPLAY TO THE CLIENT ACCOUNT *.

The customer has a PC under Windows 8, and he wondered how to remove the Windows.edb file. He recorded 60 GB of information. Is it possible to have the option of Windows search and have this file shrunk down to the size? Is it possible to empty this folder? Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this problem?

Please respond with more information.

Thank you very much for the help!

I just had this problem myself, with a clue consuming 107/278 GiB!

Here's the trick:
(1) search for "Indexing Options" (under "settings"). Open it.
(2) search for 'services' (or run "services.msc") and find "Windows Search". Stop the service.
(3) remove the Windows.edb file
4) click on "Change" in the Panel "Indexing Options" already open, then click on "Erase and rebuild" for the index. You can also specify another drive to store the index on.
Hope that helps.

  • How to block the registration of files with a windows xp-specific extension

    How to block the registration of files in windows xp with a specific extension, example the user cannot save a file with the extension exe or mp3 or another, as management on the filtering of files, windows 2003 server, I can't find the steps for the blocking process I mean in windows xp prof

    Windows cannot do natively.  A file name is simply a file name and you can not prevent the registration of a file based on its extension.

    You can change file associations, such as a double click on a file with a particular extension will not automatically launch an application given, however, but that's not what you asked.
    You may also schedule a program to run from time to time which will erase all files with a given as well.  but until this program is executed, such a file might exist on your disk.

  • How can I tell Firefox to clear the list of files uploaded to the exit?

    When I was using Firefox 3.x, I configured it to clear the list of files uploaded to the exit. Now, I 'upgraded' to Firefox 7.0.1 and it ceased to do so. Not only that, he doesn't seem to be a way to get this feature. Y at - it a setting that I missed, or have the Firefox devs decided that users don't need / envy to have Firefox do this more?

    You should always be able to clear only the download history when you close Firefox.

  • How to upgrade the already encrypted files on the USB HDD with new XP Recovery certificate

    I backed up the files encrypted in My Documents on a USB drive on which these files are also encrypted state. My computer crashed so I reinstalled the operating system. I wanted to send records encrypted USB HD to my computer or tried to copy projecteurDu and paste them into My Documents. I could not do this because I got "an error occurred in the application...". access privilegesDo i., access is denied. "I created a new recovery certificate and put in place a recovery agent. From there how I update the previously encrypted files on th USB HDD with the new recovery certificate? I'd appreciate a step by step procedure. Can I select the USB drive in the command line and run cipher/u on this drive or make the command/u of encryption on the computer without connecting to the USB HDD

    Sorry to say that my bet is that you never gain access to these files again.

    When you created the files encrypted, Windows creates a key for decryption to access these files and stored, encrypted in your certificate store.  When your system crashed, the decryption key has crashed with it.  Without this key, you will never have access to your encrypted files.  If you have recovered from a backup image-style, you should be able to access these files.  If you've recovered by installing Windows from the installation disc, then you have created a new and different installation with different Secure ID (SID) and a certificate store empty.  A recovery agent will only retrieve encrypted files that were created after that recovery agent was in place - as a new certificate.  What you really need to do, it's your old certificate to restore the backup that you created when you started using EFS.  The following article is mandatory for anyone using the EFS file system.  Special attention to the paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

    "Best Practices for encrypting file system"
     <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

    If you do not have a return to the top of your certificate, then things look dark.  There is a program called "AEFSDR' whose 'professional' version comes through what has not been overwritten on your hard drive in search of remains of certificates that could be delivered together to recover.

    Good luck

  • How to clear the administrative events - Event Viewer log

    Hello:

    Anyone know how to clear the administrative events log listed under custom in the event viewer views?

    All the logs listed in Windows logs do not have options to clear, but the back above.

    Thank you

    ColTom2

    Hey Colonel,

    It is because this isn't 'really' a newspaper, in itself.
    This is a Search of the newspaper (and there is MUCH more that most people know), filtered to show all events in administrative type.
    The source column shows you which newspaper it came from originally.

    To get rid of them, you will need to erase all records.

    If you want to get an idea:
    Go down to the Applications and Services logs, and expand.
    Microsoft, expand it.
    Then Windows.

    Nice list?
    You need to open and delete all. To really delete it.
