• How to free space on the hard drive?

  Hello, in my "On Mac" section, it says I 233 MB of space on my 121 GB of Flash storage. Previously, I thought it was video files, but it was buggy mac section. I refreshed, hoping he would show me how much space I had left, but he stayed the same. That is the problem. I use my macbook for College written work and - maximum - work on Adobe Creative Suite. When I work on these I use a separate USB key due to the size of the files.

  The only files I have actively created/downloaded on my macbook are the files in the files of my 'Documents', 'Pictures' and 'Applications '. When I use "Get Info" on each, I see that my photo folder is great, My Documents folder is large 1.17 GB and my Applications folder is large 14,68 GB 889,9 MB. These are the only files that I use and backup the files needed for my Macbook running and working properly, the only files I want to keep.

  My question is, basically, if there is a way to lose all the files on my hard drive that are not necessary to keep. I'm not too good when it comes to computers, so I don't want to not just randomly start deleting things. Just to get these road, my garbage can is completely empty and I have nothing in my downloads folder. I have also no large files to film and, when I searched my Macintosh HD for files larger than 500 MB, there is no evidence, so I guess that this is caused by a large amount of small files (I tried to restrict research naturally but then come files that I wasn't sure of what they have done and therefore have not removed the still). If it helps, my about Mac filed 100,64 GB of my free space as 'other '. But I know that is not how much space was taken when I got the Macbook earlier this year and it should not be the size of the files that comes with it by default. There is also a way to restore all the files on my macbook at their stage of default, that I would also be interested, especially if there is a way to do it without rid of files I already have.

  I guess that's a very basic question, can someone help out me?

  1. never remove all the files that you do not understand the purpose. If you do, it's like opening the hood of your car and take bits out of the engine ebcause you think they are not necessary.

  2. it seems more likely that you must rebuild your Spotlight index.

• I ran out of free space on the hard drive how can I free up space

  My pc is freezing or locking up when I run a desktop wallpaper animated, so I defragment a saw that I was up to 20% freespace

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• Should we leave how much free space on the C drive before affecting the performance and speed?

  Hello!

  Hard drive of my new PC (C) is 1 TB (processor Samsung 7i, Windows 8.1). It doesn't have any other disk/partition. How this space is safe to use to store large files (videos, esp., stored in the native video library file) without harming the performance and speed?

  And if I create another partition (D) and just use it for storage, it will make much difference compared to the above?

  Thank you!

  Planning your Partitions

  The Question

  Partitions, how much should I have on my hard drive, what do I use
  each of them for, and what size should each one be?

  It s a common question, but unfortunately this doesn t have a
  only simple, just answer to all the world. A lot of people will respond with
  the way they do, but their response isn't necessarily best for the
  person seeking (in many cases it isn't right even for the person)
  response).

  Terminology

  First, let's rethinking the terminology. Some people ask "should I".
  partition my drive? That s the wrong question, because the
  the terminology is a little strange. Some people think that the word
  "partition" means divide the drive into two or more partitions.
  That s not correct: to partition a drive is to create one or several
  partitions on it. You must have at least one partition to use
  He who think they have an unpartitioned disk actually
  have a player with only one partition on it and it s normally
  Called C:. The choice you have is to have more than one
  partition, not that it's the partition at all.

  A bit of history

  Back before Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (also known as Windows
  95 (b) was published in 1996, all MS-DOS and Windows hard drives have been set
  using the file system FAT16 (except for very tiny to aid
  FAT12). That 16-bit only because were used for addressing, FAT16 has a
  maximum 2 GB partition size.

  More than 2 GB of hard disks were rare at the time, but if you had
  one, you must have multiple partitions to use all the available
  space. But even if your drive was not larger than 2GB, FAT16 created
  Another serious problem for many people - the size of the cluster has been
  more great if you had a larger partition. Cluster sizes increased from 512
  bytes for a partition to no greater than32Mb all the way up to 32 KB for a
  partition of 1 GB or more.

  More the cluster size, the space more is wasted on a hard drive.
  That s as space for all the files is allocated in whole clusters
  only. If you have 32 KB clusters, a 1 byte file takes 32 KB, a file, a
  greater than 32 k byte takes 64 k and so on. On average, each file
  about half of his last group waste.

  If large partitions create a lot of waste (called "soft"). With a 2 GB
  FAT16 drive in a single cluster, if you have 10,000 files, each
  lose half a cluster of 32 KB, you lose about 160 MB for relationships. This s
  back in an important part of a player that probably cost more than $400
  1996 - around $ 32.

  So what did the people? They divided their 2 GB drive in two,
  three or more logical drives. Each of these logical drives has been
  smaller the real physical disk, had smaller clusters, and
  so less waste. If, for example, she was able to keep all the partitions
  less than 512 MB, cluster size was only 8 KB, and the loss was reduced to a
  a quarter of what it would be otherwise.

  People partitioned for other reasons also, but back in the days of
  FAT16, it was the main reason to do so.

  The present

  Three things have changed radically since 1996:

  1. the FAT32 and NTFS file systems came along, allowing a larger
  partitions with smaller clusters and so much less waste. In
  with NTFS, cluster sizes are 4 K, regardless of the size of the partition.

  2 hard drives have become much larger, often more than 1 TB (1000 GB) in
  size.

  3 hard drives have become much cheaper. For example, a 500 GB drive
  can be bought today for about $50. That s 250 times the size of this
  Player 2Gb typical 1996, about one-eighth of the price.

  What these things mean together which is the reason to be old to have
  multiple partitions to avoid the considerable wastage of disk space left.
  The amount of waste is much less than it used to be and the cost of
  that waste is much less. For all practical purposes, almost nobody does
  should no longer be concerned about slack, and it should no longer be
  has examined when planning your partition structure.

  What Partitions are used for today

  There are a variety of different ways people put in place several
  scores of these days. Some of these uses are reasonable, some are
  debatable, some are downright bad. I'll discuss a number of Commons
  partition types in the following:

  1. a partition for Windows only

  Most of the people who create such a partition are because they believe
  If they never have to reinstall Windows properly, at least they
  He won t lose their data and he won t have to reinstall their applications.
  because both are safe on other partitions.

  The first of these thoughts is a false comfort and the second
  is downright bad. See the analysis of the types of partition 2 and 4
  below to find out why.

  Also note that over the years, a lot of people who find their windows
  partition that has begun to be the right size proves to be too
  small. For example, if you have such a partition for Windows and later
  upgrade to a newer version of Windows, you may find that your Windows
  partition is too small.

  2. a partition for installed programs

  This normally goes hand in hand with the partition type 1, a partition for
  just Windows. The thought that if you reinstall Windows, your
  installed application programs are safe if they are in another
  partitions is simply not true. That s because all programs installed
  (with the exception of an occasional trivial) have pointers to the inside
  Windows, in the registry and elsewhere, as well as associated files
  buried in the Windows folder. So if Windows, pointers and
  the files go with it. Given that the programs need to be reinstalled if Windows
  the fact, this reasoning to a separate partition for programs not
  work. In fact, there is almost never a good reason to separate
  Windows of the software application into separate partitions.

  3. a partition for the pagefile.

  Some people think mistakenly that the pagefile on another
  score will improve performance. It is also false; It doesn t
  help and often I hurt, performance, because it increases the movement of the head
  to get back to the page to another file frequently used
  data on the disk. For best performance, the paging file should normally
  be on the most widely used score of less used physical player. For
  almost everyone with a single physical disk than the same drive s
  Windows is on C:.

  4. a partition for backup for other partitions.

  Some people make a separate partition to store backups of their other
  or partitions. People who rely on a "backup" are a joke
  themselves. It is only very slightly better than no backup at all.
  because it leaves you likely to be simultaneously the original losses
  and backup for many of the most common dangers: the head crashes and other
  types of drive, serious glitches to power failure, near lightning
  strikes, virus attack, even stolen computer.  In my opinion,.
  secure backup must be on a media removable and not stored in the
  computer.

  5. a partition for data files

  Above, when I discussed separate Windows on a clean partition,
  I pointed out that separate data from Windows is a false comfort if
  He of done with the idea that data will be safe if Windows ever
  must be reinstalled. I call it a false comfort that's because
  I'm afraid many people will rely on this separation, think that their
  data are safe there and so do not take measures to
  Back it up. In truth the data is not safe there. Having to reinstall
  Windows is just one of the dangers to someone a s hard disk and not
  probably even one. This kind of "backup" falls into the same
  category, as a backup to other partitions partition; It lets you
  sensitive to the simultaneous loss of the original and the backup on many of
  the most common dangers that affect the entire physical disk, not
  just the particular partition. Security comes from a solid backup
  diet, not how partition you.

  However, for some people, it may be a good idea to separate Windows and
  programs on the one hand of the data on the other, putting each of the
  two types into separate partitions. I think that most people
  partitioning scheme must be based on their backup system and backup
  plans are generally of two types: whole hard disk imaging
  or data only backup. If you back up data, backup is
  usually facilitated by the presence of a separate with data only partition;
  to save just the score easily, without having to
  collect pieces from here and elsewhere. However, for
  those who backup by creating an image of the entire disk, there is
  usually little, if any, benefit the separation of data in a partition of
  its own.

  Furthermore, in all honesty, I must point out that there are many
  very respected people who recommend a separate partition for Windows,
  Whatever your backup plan.  Their arguments haven t convinced
  me, but there are clearly two views different here.

  6. a partition to image files

  Some people like to deal with the images and videos as something separate
  other data files and create a separate partition for them. To my
  the spirit, an image is simply another type of data and there is no
  the advantage in doing so.

  7. a partition for music files.

  The comments above related to the image files also apply to music
  files. They are just another type of data and must be dealt with the
  just like the other data.

  8. a partition for a second operating system to dual-boot to.

  For those who manage several operating systems (Windows Vista, Windows
  XP, Windows 98, Linux, etc.), a separate partition for each operating
  system is essential. The problems here are beyond the scope of this
  discussion, but simply to note that I have no objection to s
  all these partitions

  Performance

  Some people have several partitions because they believe that it
  somehow improves performance. That s not correct. The effect is
  probably low on modern computers with modern hard disks, but if
  whatever it is, the opposite is true: more music mean poorer
  performance. That's because normally no partition is full and it
  so are gaps between them. It takes time for the drive s
  read/write heads to cross these gaps. Close all files
  are, faster access to them will be.

  Organization

  I think a lot of people overpartition because they use scores as a
  organizational structure. They have a keen sense of order and you want to
  to separate the apples from the oranges on their readers.

  Yes, separating the different types of files on partitions is a
  technical organization, but then is to separate different types of
  files in folders. The difference is that the walls are static and
  fixed in size, while the files are dynamic, changing size automatically
  as needed to meet your changing needs. This usually done records
  a much better way to organize, in my opinion.

  Certainly, partitions can be resized when necessary, but except with the latter
  versions of Windows, which requires a third-party software (the and the
  possibility to do so in Windows is primitive compared to the third-party
  solutions). These third party software normally costs money and not
  any point and how stable it is, affects the entire disk.
  with the risk of losing everything. Plan your partitions in
  first place and repartitioning, none will be necessary.  The need
  to repartition usually occurs as a result of overpartitioning in
  the first place.

  What often happens when people organize with partitions instead
  records are that they make a miscalculation of how much room they need on each
  This partition, and then when they run out of space on the partition
  When a file is logically, while having plenty of space
  on the other hand, they simply saving the file in the score of "poor".
  Paradoxically, therefore, results in this kind of score structure
  less organization rather than more.

  So how should I partition my drive

  If you read what came before, my findings will not come as a
  surprise:

  1. If your backup set is the image of the entire disk, have just one
  single (usually c partition :));

  2. If you backups just data, have two partitions one for Windows and
  application programs installed (usually c :)), the other for data
  (normally D :).)

  With the exception of multiple operating systems, it is rarely
  any advantage to have more than two partitions.

  Hi williamvmcb,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the problem description of free space on the hard drive is reduced by itself.

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Run the disk check to check for possible errors.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to repair. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

  Method 2: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.

  Thank you.

• Qosmio F50 - the hard drive recovery?

  Hello

  I had a very big problem.
  I've made a few changes with my Vista regs and then I was unable to start again.
  So, I started the recovery program (second HARD drive), backed up my files and selected whole HARD drive recovery.

  Well, now problem - everything was going well, but when I walked into the Vista installation I had to shut down the computer.
  Now, when I start up the pc and load Vista I message I need to reinstall my computer again.

  Well, they say nothing about how load the recovery file but I have no option for this - only emergency mode, with the support of network, etc., but without recovery emergency. Moreover, when I select emergency mode, I can't load Vista-it says I need to run the Setup in normal mode, which told to re - install. Yep, circle-_-.

  Model: Qosmio F50

  Do you think that when I erase all the Vista disc manually - for example with linux, and then start the computer, I get a possibility to load the second part of the drive to start the installation?

  Thanks in advance because I'm really despair

  I'm a bit confused of m.
  How do recover you the laptop?
  Have you used the Toshiba HDD recovery option which could be launched by pressing F8, select fix my computer-> Toshiba Recovery?

  Usually, it is a procedure how to start the Toshiba HDD recovery.

  I guess you didn't create a recovery Toshiba drive in the past is good?
  It was a big mistake buddy because the recovery disk would help you in difficult situations

  Well, as I said above; You can try to start the HARD drive recovery. If this will not help you I think that you would need a Toshiba Recovery disk.
