  • Delete files from backup under Vista

    Recently made a backup under Vista.  Now, get the message saying I need to delete files from D: drive to create more space.  Have you tried the various responses on previous assignments, but nothing works

    Thanks for this Bill.  I have since gone on the Dell forum and discovered how to delete the backup.  It is very easy - for anyone else who has this problem: computer goto, drive d, select the folder with your name or nickname of PC (usually the first folder) and delete it.

    See you soon,.

  • How can I move files from backup to backup of Vista on a new external drive?

    I use Vista and have a few backup files made by the Vista Backup utility that is currently stored in a USB 2.0 external drive.

    I bought a bigger external drive and I want to transfer data from the old disk to the new external drive and I tried:

    1. fixing of the external drive and select all (mediaid.bin incl.)-> copy / paste
    2 copy data from the old disk on the desktop and then copy from the office to the new drive

    Both disks are formatted as NTFS. It seems to transfer ok, but when I checked the data on the new external drive, it is much LESS than the data on the old disk (disk right click computer-> properties). I think that Vista is resistant to climb a backup of files. There was no error prompt.

    Help, please. Why is this happening?

  • How to remove unnecessary files from the hard drive using Lightroom.

    Hello

    I use Lr 5.7 on Win7 64-bit. I would remove completely some old files and their contents that were part of my previous, very messy organization. I still have parents and masters images files, so I have no need extra junk on my hard drive.

    I tried to do a right click on the file, but the only option is to delete the catalog. I saw posted solutions that say click on icon less. I don't see an icon less anywhere. As far as I know, Lightroom really doesn't want "delete me" anything.

    Thank you!

  • How to remove temporary files from Photoshop?

    I use Mac a friend and in Photoshop, from time to time he always tells me that the scratch disk is almost full and cannot perform actions until I get rid of things on the computer. I delete the files, but after a while he continues to to - I would rather just delete temporary files from Photoshop instead of files of my friend. But I was not able to find any where - where is this folder? or what I should enter in a search?

    You don't need to do it manually.

    You can clear the scratch disk:

    Edit-Purge-All

    You will lose your history if you do this (all cancellations).

    Basically you run of space on the drive system - not a good situation. I would like to talk to your friend to check maybe some files and then remove them. Or buy a firewire drive and use it as a scratch disk.

    Do not delete the files from your friend if you want to stay friends.
