Including disk space in drive C

Hi, I have 148GB hard drive which has a car - 141 C and a D drive - 7.71 GB partitioned by HP. towards the end I was running low disk space. I did a disk cleanup and defragmentation on a regular basis. I checked the size of each folder on drive C, and then the total space and it does not match.

That's what I got after checking the space on individual files:

Go 122,18 includes Doc & settings, program files, and any other folder in the C drive (no hidden files - the option is disabled in my computer > tools)

18,82 GB is therefore reported missing.

I put t see all other files and folders in the C drive, temporary files, cookies are deleted and the Recycle Bin is empty.

D I really appreciate your help!

Over the years, patch from Windows Update installers can take a lot of hard drive space. System Restore also feeds a small piece of space. Try to clean the system restore files by clicking on the 'More Options' tab in disk cleanup. Go down and clean the system restore.

CCleaner may clean old hotfix files. You can download it for free and discover its settings, and HERE I've used for years on many machines.

  • Cannot free up disk space on drive c.

    Hello

    I have an older version of Windows XP on my computer and despite the use of the function of disk cleanup, add/remove programs functions and Windows components, so to try to defragment the computer, I receive the message that the computer is low disk space.  I took all the programs that I don't use and attempted to take off from documents unnecessary, games, etc., as well, but when I check the C: drive on the 'Properties' tab, it shows almost the entire hard drive used.  I do not know what but because I even do not play a lot of games on it, have images or music programs and I can't understand what is on the hard drive of the computer.  If it of the adware or spyware, I can not say because when I tried to install an adware/spyware detector, he cannot do that because there is not enough disk space!  Obviously, something takes all the space, but how I tell me what it is and more important still, how do I get my computer?  Thank you.

    I have this problem as well, and the question is larger than what these people are saying. If you open the folder and ctrl + a to select all, then go to properties, it will show that the contents of the folder is only about 5 or 6 concerts, 7 on it. the other 60 + concerts which takes the file are mysteriously non-existent. I have no idea what is causing this problem, but I can promise you that no amount of deletion it will manage because the memory is not be overtaken by what is actually stored on your computer.

    It sounds like you're looking in a directory (folder) that includes hidden files and hidden folders.  What is the name of the "folder" you are watching?

    While you have the mystery open in Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options.  Select the view tab.  Scroll down and select the option "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck the box (a little further down) to "Hide protected operating system files."  Click OK.

    The "disappeared" 60 GB now appears?

    See http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2005/05/tip-of-the-day-show-hidden-files-with-a-simple-script/

    I suggest that you cancel the above changes when you are finished.

    If you still can't find the missing stuff, download and run JDiskReport.  This will show you what takes up space on your hard drive.

  • Running out of disk space on drive D

    Hello!

    Recently, I get a message warning me that I m not enough space on drive D. I'm clean as suggested, but it does not have any effect.
    The MS forum moderator suggests it is not an operating system problem, but a problem for Toshiba.

    It seems that the files are saved on disk D that shouldn't be the case...?

    Sorry for this question but what is alert MSG?
    And what was the argument why it should be matter of Toshiba?

    Is this info from the operating system itself or given by Toshiba as Tempro tool?

  • Satellite L350D - 12 M - disk space on drive F is at critical level of 90%

    Hello

    Its my first post on the forum so I hope that makes sense. I have very little knowledge of the workings of computers and would make more assessments and listen to the music than anything else. I am able to download and transfer stuff from camera etc. but this is concerning as it goes.

    Here is the question and I apologize now if it seems a bit simple.

    As he says in the subject I have a Satellite L350D - 12M and I have a tempro alert that drive F is at a critical level of 90%.

    I have windows vista and when I click on computer it shows the following drives C:Vista, D: Data rewriting E:DVD.

    I can not find drive F and wonder what is it and why is it 90%?

    If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

    Concerning

    Hello

    I think that drive F is a hidden partition.
    On this score, you can find the backup files need Vista to Vista repair function.
    This function can be used if something was wrong with the Vista operating system and it needs a repair

    I think that you could see all the partitions on the HARD disk in Vista disk management.

  • My XP laptop continues to send "low disk space" on my D drive.

    I have a pavilion laptop HP XP and I get the message: "not enough disk space, you run lack of disk space on drive D HP_Recovery.  How can I fix this problem?

    It's a little tricky to deal with.  The disc "HP_Recovery" is supposed to be a hidden partition that contains all the files required to restore your computer to its "fresh coming from the factory" State.  Normally, you should not access this drive or remove any of its files.

    As a general rule, the restore partition is put in place to have just enough space to hold the files to restore, so add only a little more will trigger the warning.

    You will find several places on the Internet that describe how to disable the warning (for example http://www.jvfconsulting.com/blog/89/How_To_Fix_You_Are_Running_Out_Of_Disk_Space_On_HPRECOVERY.html), but it's a bit like taking the batteries in your smoke detector, because you do not like the tone.

    Instead, you must understand what is writing files to D: and stop him and - preferably, but not altogether necessarily - delete these external files from D.

    • Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the D drive.  Right click on 'My Computer', select 'Properties' and click on the System Restore tab.  System Restore should be followed ONLY the C drive.  If all the disks are monitored, click on 'Settings' and disable them.
    • Verify that disk indexing works on the D drive.  Open 'my computer '.  Assuming that the D drive is indicated (it may not be), right-click on its icon, then select Properties.  In the 'Général' tab, both boxes down all the two NO REGULARITY.  If the D drive does not appear in my computer, state the fact.
    • Most likely guilty is something like Norton 360.  Apparently, at least some versions of Norton have an automatic save function which, by default, writes the backup data in the D: drive, which means that the recovery partition, which in short order fills it. You will need to disable the function of automatic backup in Norton (or what ever it was) or set it to backup to another drive, such as an external drive or a DVD or CD (if your system is capable of writing to optical media).

      You cannot set Norton to write anywhere on the C: drive, it won't let you.

      If the D: drive is already full, you will need to find the backup files and move them (or remove) disable the D: partition. Make sure that you do not delete the "data on the recovery partition.

  • Deleting a disk and Re assign disk space

    They gave me a laptop Acer Aspire 3680 running on Vista. 80 GB HDD space is also divided a, C and D drive. Both drives are formatted NFTS. D drive has a folder labeled "Program Data". It is empty. When I go to disk management, click with the right button on the D drive, the drop down menu a 'remove' grayed. How can I remove the D drive and re assign disk space on drive C?

    Hello

    What is the complete the situation under the D drive in disk management?

    Your D: drive is normally the recovery Partition that the manufacturer has put there for your computer to put it back to factory in the event of a system crash.

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer on how to remove everything you have saved on the recovery disk because it is their recovery Partition.

    You can try to format the drive, then try to delete the volume.  Check if this is useful.

    Note: Before formatting the drive D: is it advisable to check with your computer manufacturer.

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer about how to remove anything on recovery drive, as is the recovery Partition.

  • Increase the disk space on a virtual computer which was extracted

    I have my computer running virtual Windows 7 checked. I then checked back in the VM. I need to increase disk space on drive C (the winSxS directory seems to never stop growing). But there is a snapshot on the disc 'View Local Mode of instantaneous anchorage'. What are the consequences of the removal of the snapshot myself in order to increase the size of the disk? Throw this out of sync between my laptop and the virtual computer and require all of ~ 30 GB to download again?

    Hello
    If a replication extracted from a desktop computer, a snapshot of the local desktop is created and then the changes are replicated with the data center.
    If you delete the snapshot, you ensure that you validate the changes.  This force probably allows you to download all of the Office during the next Check-Out operation.
