iCloud backups / file management / free space

I have trouble managing the use of space in my icloud account.

I find it very intuitive and difficult to understand exactly what I am to be invited to do everything by managing the settings.

In other words, I find some options very unclear.

Signature in icloud on my mac through chrome browser, I am told that I use 4.4/5 GB.

It is stated that most of this is my iPad.

I suspect that most are backups of my real-world applications.

There is nothing else I backup via iCloud.

and I don't even save most of the data in applications.

I usually back up on my mac and remove the actual data of the apps to save space on my pad.

I tried to remove some of the saved app data

but it has released only a few KB.

When, on the ipad, I go to:

Settings-> iCloud-> storage management

and goes off a few backup app, as I said, not useful space is released.

All this used a space could be due to many throughout the system to the top of the iPad.

But there seems to be no option to remove individual backups, only to stop iPad backup completely and remove the content FULL of all my backups [or, for "extra space"-"ideally"):]

In addition, it seems impossible to manage this through iCloud.com on my browser on mac OS x.

It seems that I have to use my iPad, which is also unnecessary in this case.

I prefer to manage it via my computer, using the keyboard and mouse and a respectable real file management interface; rather than some indigestible, imprecise, difficult to navigate, near-useless, icon-business, as it is.

If anyone can help diagnose me exactly how much space is used,

and how I can release disk space without having to stop my system backup and removing all existing backups together in order to have space [which seems completely redundant and the purpose of defeating]

.... I'd highly appreciate such opinions.

As a note on the side of criticism; I really find the iOS any system file management, with its 'fun icon' interface approach, but almost zero - control and utility in terms of management of files, to be very tedious / frustrating / tedious.

Why not give me a "finder" style access to file systems; so I can see clearly what is in place, I can remove, etc.

Sorry if this is State the obvious; but; in all there are no such problems with android and google reader.

iOS has been closed like that since the first day. If you want or need a file system, you will need to use an Android device. Your comment has no value here. Apple does not take its direction from remarks made here.

You can send your comments to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

iCloud.com is not designed to handle files, only the content.

From your iPad itself, go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud > iCloud > Storage manage and look in the section of backups . You should see backups that you created and its size, on iCloud for your iPad. Tap on your iPad and there is an option to delete the backup here.

Your applications are not in your backup. They are stored on the App store, where they can be downloaded again if necessary. Toggling off the coast of the backup of the data of the App has questionable value because it is only of data an application creates, not the application itself. If you share an Apple ID with anyone or any other device, their content goes to iCloud as well. 5GB allowance is per Apple ID, not per device.

  • If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

    If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

    Original title: can anyone help please?

    Hello

    You can take a safe backup.

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

    2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

  • on my iCloud drive files take up space on my hard drive?

    I'm always running out of space on the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. The most important issue seems to be the library and Documents Mobile is the largest. But when I look inside I find the name of the folder as if by magic going on MacBook Pro / My Files / Library / Mobile Documents for MacBook Pro / My Files / library / iCloud Drive.  I thought that the purpose of paying extra for space on my iCloud drive should free up space on my hard drive.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you delete them from your computer, they will delete icloud.

    My iPad has a lot of videos/pictures on local memory.  I disappear off the coast because I see that they are in my photo database and iCloud drive.  When I try to delete them it asks it will remove them from all devices.  I just have to remove them from the iPad.  Ideas?

    You cannot delete without delete icloud, unless you turn off and away the iCloud synchronization.

  • where the free space is managed for automatic segment management space

    Hello
    I am preparing for OCA and arrived by a question. which

    Q: with management automatic segment-space, where free space is managed?

    A. to the extent of a created tablespace
    B. in the control file
    (C) in the data dictionary
    D. in the undo tablespace

    Answer mentioned: D

    But as I know that the news of free space for automatic segment space management are bitmaps stored in the header of the segment.

    Please help clarify...

    Thanx.

    Ashutosh

    Dear Ashutosh,

    Undo tablespace does not support segments and segment car space management can be applied to the locally managed tablespace. Segments of cancellation are dealing with the management of the undo tablespace IF you set undo_management auto. Otherwise the system tablespace and rollback segments will load to cancel (not recommended)

    Dictionary managed tablespaces store the information in the data dictionary and controlfile doest not manage free space here and I assume that the answer to this question is A :) I hope I'm not wrong! :)

    Hope that helps.

  • Much less free space on the E drive as primary drive C on Office Pavilion Elite m9250f

    Running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2, 64-bit

    I have 334 free 455 GB GB on my C drive but only 121 GB free on 465 on my E drive (which is used for backups).

    Free space on each should not be about equal?

    There is an initial "backup" on the E drive which dated from 05/07/11.  Then, there are all these backup files to daily from this date forward until a few days ago when I turned off automatic backups.   Recently, I made some changes to our home wireless network, which includes another computer.    Is it possible that backups of recent flag (in the last weeks 1-2), who are so much larger size than the older, were also back up another computer on our home network?

    How can I create a new initial backup set, so that I can delete then 05/07/11, and all its subsequent daily backup files?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    No, normally they cannot be equal. It depends on how do you backup, how the product compresses files... As you said, you keep backup copies more on D: D: must therefore more space. For the last few weeks, you can change your files more therefore the system must save more...

    To be on the safe side, you can create a new backup (use of different name) from the beginning and remove the old backup when you are satisfied with the new.

    Kind regards.

    Karthikeyan devalla.

    Karthikeyan Devalla,
    Here are the instructions to remove some of the restore points using disk cleanup.  Your system is configured to record everything automatically on your computer at periodic points so if you need to restore your system files will be there.  But sometimes, you get more restore points that you want or need and he can eat a lot of disk space.  Here's how to control this.

    You can use Disk Cleanup to remove points of restoration and the free space on the hard disk on your computer.

    Disk removes the cleanup all but the last restore point on your computer. In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files. Previous versions are also deleted.
     
    1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, tap all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
     
    2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, click files from all users on this computer.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
     
    3. If prompted, select the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.
     
    4. click the other Options tab.
     
    5. under System Restore and shadow copies, click Clean up, and then, in the confirmation dialog box, click on delete.
     
    6. If you want to continue using disk cleanup for other drives on your computer, click the Disk Cleanup tab. To quit Disk Cleanup, click Cancel.
     
    Let us know if this was helpful, or if you need more information.

  • Deleting the guest of RMAN RMAN backup files

    DB version: 10.2.0.4
    OPERATING SYSTEM: AIX

    Due to space constraints, we had to change our retention policy today. So, I need to manually remove some old backup files to free up space. Should I remove the backup files of the OS by using the rm command and then issue a
    delete expired backup;
    Since the RMAN command prompt?

    Or is there another recommended method?

    If you delete them manually from the o/s, then you must perform a BACKUP of OVERLAP before EXPIRATION to DELETE.

    Or once you change your retention policy you can deliver DELETE OBSOLETE, which can be the safest way to make sure that you delete the wrong backup files inadvertently.

  • I receive a "Low disk space" message and to free up space (d) car which seems full of backup files dating from when I got the laptop in 2008.

    I receive a "Low disk space" message and to free up space (d) car which seems full of backup files dating from when I got the laptop. Now I also have the message 'the last backup impossible' because I don't have enough space on this drive.  He had originally 110 GB Local disk (d :)) and it fell to 7.44 MB of free space.) Can I remove the back of the 'safeguards' located in the 3 files and start on the 17/04/2008 right up to 2011-01.05 and just keep the last backup or removing the back will cause problems? Can someone help thank you.

    Hi KarenRoss56,

    You can try to remove the old files of backup from 2008 to 2010 and check.

    Note: When you delete these files and later if you perform a restore, you will not be able to get previous data. If you need one of these files, you can transfer the files to an external drive before you delete the system files.

    You can also use Disk Cleanup to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run more quickly.
