I want to free up more space if possible

If you continue, you're more up-to-date updates. Can u delete all former his and you're computer will run ok after you do this.

It is possible to uninstall certain updates, although doing so can have uninteneded consequences, and I wouldn't recommend it.

How complete is your hard drive?  What is its size? Are you reciving error messages?

There are a few things you can do to save additional space safely,

  1. run a cleaning disc http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/app_disk_cleanup.mspx?mfr=true
  2. Uninstall unnecessary programs

You can save additional space through compression of files.  some text files compress better than other files such as video.  You can compress older files that you do not have access often.

your best bet would be to remove files no longer use and uninstall programs unnessary.

Good luck

  • Removal of all the snapshots--> error: more space for virtual disk...

    Hello everyone

    I'm quite new to VMware and has failed to find a solution for my problem. If someone could help me, it would be awesome!

    During the migration of a SBS2003 guest at a new SBS2008 customer, I made some shots. I have now finished, the new SBS2008 works well and is already in production. Now I wanted to free up the space occupied by all these snapshots and finished with this error:

    There is no more space for disk virtual hercules2.mydomain.local - 000005.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by the release of disk space on the relevant volume, and then click Retry.

    The SBS2008 still seems to work very well. All snapshots in the Snapshot Manager left... but when you browse the data store the snapshot files are still there.

    How to proceed now?

    Thanks in advance everybody!

    Renaud

    If you have another store of data with extra space, you can clone the virtual computer to the another data store.

  • I have 14 installs Visual C++ and want to free up space. Installs the end ++ 2005 to remove once installed 2008 installs

    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit on my laptop. There are 14 install separate Visual c++ on my laptop. About half are 2005 and the rest were dated 2008. Really, I don't know what Visual C++ is or does, but why do I need 14 of these samples of hard drive space. I want to free up space on my drive and I was wondering if the older 2005 those can be deleted if there are 2008 installed or is there a way to get 1 install that would allow me to uninstall the 14 I.

    Thanks in advance

    Rob

    The entries in programs and features are more than one folder which updates have been applied as an indication that multiple versions are installed. Only the most recent version of 2005 and 2008 will be in the Program Files folder.

    Redistributable Visual C++ are required to run applications developed in Microsoft Visual C++. The application may not work properly unless the version of the Visual C++ Redistributable corresponding to the version of Visual Studio it was developed with is installed. Uninstall the redistributable files will break programs that run on your computer.

    If you want to order you can uninstall them from the control panel and then install the latest versions of the redistributable from the links here:

    However, these files are tiny. Uninstalling them not even would make a difference to the decimal you free up space.

    Please be aware that the second part of your hard drive backup is
    far the lowest form of backup exists. It is only very
    slightly better than no backup at all, because it let you
    sensitive to the simultaneous loss of the original and the backup on many of
    the most common dangers: drive failure, head goes down, severe feeding
    glitches, near lightning, virus attacks, same flight of the
    computer.

    In my view, secure backup must be on a unguarded and removable media
    in the computer. For backup really secure (required, for example, if the)
    the life of your company depends on your data), you should have several
    generations of backup and at least one of these generations must be
    stored off-site.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

  • I have Windows Vista and back up regularly on E:drive. How do backups more space?

    I have Windows Vista. I've been using the backup of the standard sytem on my E: drive for several months. Now it is almost full, and it seems impossible to remove previous copies. I tried the suggested disk cleanup and it shows 0 bytes available to remove! I also tried to delete "system restore and shadow copies in 'Disk cleanup'." It seems to be a lot of disk activity, but no more space on drive E:! I also tried to manually remove some files, but they disappear from the index of free space on the disk does not increase. Can you help me, please?

    Is there anything else stored on drive E, other than backups? Otherwise, you might save a few headaches and just format your partition to backup.

    Warning

    • Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to make backups of all the data to save before you begin.

    • You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.

    • Quick format is a formatting option that creates a new file table, but do not completely overwrite or erase the volume. A quick format is much faster than a normal format, which fully erases the existing data on the volume.

    1. Open Computer Management by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools and then double-click computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. In the Navigation pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

    3. Right-click the volume you want to format and then click on format.

    4. To format the volume with the default settings in the dialog box format, click OK, and then click OK again.

  • Deleted iPhotos to make more space but still have the same amount of storage

    Hey guys, I deleted my app iPhotos and folder to free up space on my computer, but it still shows the same storage space. Are these photos still stored on my computer somewhere and why storage is not to show more space? Thank you

    When you have migrated your images in iPhoto for pictures, the images were not duplicated in the photo library. Both made apps point (link) to the same original on your drive. That's why you see no significant gain in storage.
