• Loss of disk space available in the start... times?

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows XP 32 bit (old, I know not = X) and it has been a fairly reliable computer for most, but in recent weeks, he has been acting strangely... When I start it up and look at the amount of space on my C:, is what is the correct number, as now, it should be at about 9 GB of free space. But as I leave it on, even after a few minutes, the space begins to disappear, and he continues to drop until I have literally 0 kilobytes of hard disk space. The caveat on the system tray appears and all say that I am low on free space and recommend a scan or something the computer to clear it up. It does nothing tho, to the extent where to find anything to clear up other than a few small files. But when I restart my laptop, all space is back and the process of losing my space starts again without fail. I also disabled the function of backup/restore system or whatever it is and I ran several antivirus, malware scans scans and practically everything I could think of that might find what does not. I have nothing extraordinary is not done with my system and have not downloaded anything of squint a little, and yet I can't find the problem. It worries me that it COULD be a virus or something, then... Anyone have any ideas? Would be REALLY grateful for the help = / thanks for this reading, sorry I'm so long-winded...: P

  It sounds as if something is the generation of temporary files.  If you are able to download something before the disk fills up, get JDiskReport and install it.  If you are able to run at least a part of the space has been eaten, it should show you what files are too much space and this should give you an idea of the process who does.

  If you use TrendMicro, I saw reports it can generate log files large, perhaps when running in "debug" mode, although nothing quite matches the description you give.  See, for example, two John Sulko positions in this thread (unfortunately, the link does not work): http://tinyurl.com/3hfw8d5 the closest thing I could find in trend discussions was as follows: http://tinyurl.com/3dtaeuq

• loss of disk space

  Hello

  I have hvea Dell server with 3 250 GB HARD drive in raid 5, which gives 512 GB of usable space.

  I have a VM SBS2008 with 250 GB allocated and a VM XP with 100 GB allocated, leaving 150 GB. I got a message a few days there is insufficient disk space, so I turned off the XP machine and has enough space. Now, I have noticed that I have 546 MB of the 150 GB disk space. Why I don't have this story and how can I stop using more because I'm about to run out of space completely.

  Sorry if this is explained elsewhere where, but I had a quick search and got several results.

  TIA

  What is the size that the snapshot has? You can see this using the data store Navigator. The snapshot file is named s.th. like "...-000001.vmdk". I guess it will be about 150 GB.

  Due to the space drive is low, I suggest you close the two VMS on that host and then 'remove' the snapshot. The closure is to ensure that you don't miss disk space removing the snapshot, which would probably end in a loss of data.

• HP Mini 1000 XP loss of disk space!

  I have the HP Mini 1000 XP base model and love it.  I use Norton Internet Security, iTunes and Picasa 3.  But for some reason, I lose local C: drive disk space.  At this moment I have about 500 MB.  I was at 90 MB (!) before a little lower, I read a tip on the Web to set the parameters of system restore.  Which I did and got immediately bumped upward to the high lombardo.  But I still seem to lose space weekly.  I always remove my itunes and photos Picasa downloads.  I also delete cookies and temporary internet files on all three weeks.  And I defragmented/compressed disk, but who did not have much.  Java keeps asking me to download and install the new update and I'm like "NO!  I'm getting a more slightly obsessive on my MB.  My space can be upgraded?  If so, how?  Are there ways to find hidden files?  Maybe what I deleted was not, even if I saw them in the trash.  Another that the question of space, I love my Mini - and feel that I should get a tip for all potential customers, I'm headed your way!    I thank very you much for your help and advice!

  A very easy solution is to set the min and max paging file to 1024 MB (1 GB), which is a lot. You could even go to 768 or 512 in my opinion a little more extra space. Right now, you have a dynamic (changeable) paging file that is larger than necessary. Define the number that is now 1500 something and the number which is now 3000 something 1024 768 or 512; apply and restart. You should immediately have an extra concert half or more space, then. Setting the pagefile on a fixed number, it is also a fairly well-known performance tweak that helps the computer run a little faster.

  If you are looking for *.jpg (wildcard for all images), you can be sure that you see all the pictures on the hard drive.

  Not enough space for which drive? This is a warning most likely a not enough space on the recovery partition.

  This occurs when Windows Backup is used without a dedicated external hard drive. Is that what you did?

  If so, access the recovery partition and delete all backups that you sent to there.

  Then you get an external hard drive and backup on it.

  Disk Cleanup removes temporary junk for the most part and only works its magic on the C drive.

• Loss of disk space available every day as System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive

  My PC is under Windows7 Home Premium... version 6.1... Build 7601... service pack 1.

  I have a 1 TB hard drive... 3 weeks ago, I've had approximately 813 gb free space... now, I have only 603 gb of free space. I noticed that the folder System Volume Information is passed to 209,53 Go. Don't know why this issue became so great. I lost about 5 to 20 GB of free space on the hard disk every day.

  The System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive... Users folder is 43.38 GB... Windows folder is 31.89 GB... WinSxS folder is 15,18 GB.

  I installed a couple of applications in the last 6 months... Driver booster... Download App... and size of file.

  I didn't save my PC in the last 3 weeks because of this problem.

  The only application that I use for backup is MotoCast USB... it creates a backup of the SD card in my smartphone to my PC.  I've been backup card SD in my phone every 3-4 weeks for the past 2 years but never lost so much hard drive space until the last 3 weeks.

  Any suggestions?

  I suggest that you should the Zone Alarm Firewall and use Windows Firewall.

• The amount of available disk space keeps fluctuating.

  I returned from more than 20 GB of space available Tuesday to 2 MB Wednesday, up to 702 MB, up to 100 KB, then back to 200 MB. Is this a virus? I ran several scans of varioud virus and nothing was found, but I see no other reason for the significant loss of disk space. I am running XP with Norton as my antivirus.

  Hi LostinCyberSpaceMD,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. What is the correct disk space showing in disk management?
  3. You have installed any new software, and programs on the computer?

  Method 1
  See the link below and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx

  Method 2
  If the previous step fails, then check if the problem persists in the safe mode and after return with the result.
  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  Method 3
  If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Failed to remove snapshot due to disk space

  Hello!

  I tried to delete a snapshot in 10 workstation, but it failed because I ran out of space - fair enough, BUT he DID remove the snapshot icon.

  Now, I have freed disk space in order to remove the snapshot, but how can I do when the icon is missing?

  I can't just clone the virtual computer to a new place because I need other snapshots!

  I have about 20 shots then how do I know which one it is?

  Best regards

  -Morten Hermansen, Fanitas Green

  I found the same thing. It is not a good behavior of the software, because it leaves doubts: it is not deleted, but how can I remove it?

  I think that if it fails it should leave the icon to try again after you free the space.

  Is a possible workaround: create another snapshot, and then delete it somewhere inside the machine snapshot tree.

  For what I could see by looking at the disk space, after this deletion, the used space is lower than before the creation. I guess this operation triggers the actual deletion of the snapshot has disappeared. In addition, this deletion takes a long time, all in one

  'create and delete soon' should be very fast.

• After Run DEFRAG in VISTA has lost 37 GB of disk space

  I ran disk cleanup after my loss of hard drive space that remove all restore points except last option and I do not recover FROM my concert 37 loss of hard drive space.  What does Windows Vista DEFRAG! ???  He dé-compresser some old compressed files?  In addition, during the execution of the "System Tools" folder defragmentation, there no option to see you an analisys "REPORT" of the hard drive before or after the execution of the actual DEFRAGMENTATION.  In addition, for a disk hard 320 GB with ANY other running application (3 GB of memory on an AMD Turion TL-60 2.00 GHz HP Laptop) it took more than 24 hours for the defragmentation to finish.  Help!  I want my rear disc space!

  Hello Halima,

  It was an excellent and informative answer...  If you read my other two messages about this problem, I explained that I am very aware of the technical aspects of DEFRAG as system support for environments IBM Mainframe using IBM DEFAG back in the early 1980s.  My main concern was what happened to my DISK space.  Your reply explained what actually happened.  A little more complete history: it is a new DRIVE that I had just put into service (used CMS of TRANSFER of DATA to copy the entire volume, including the OS) upgrade to 160 GB to 320 GB.  He had worked flawlessly for two weeks.  I decided that I wanted a copy of my hard drive again and that he wanted to 'clean & not fragmented' volume before I copied it to a NEW 320 GB volume spare.  It was when I Defraged this week two used the volume I had my 'problem '.  I could get my space by manually deleting some files work and execution 'OWN DISC' system with deletes everything except the last system restore file.  Thanks for your time in my question ansewring.

• Disk space MacAir swallowed in 10 minutes after the start.

  MacAir fast - disappearing of disk space!

  My problem:

  When I turn on my OS 10.6.8 MacAir is about 8Gb available, but in a few minutes, that reduces to zero. Whenever I restart the same thing happen again..... after that 10 minutes maximum available space is zero!

  The cause?

  I strongly suspect a simple PDF bit that someone sent me two days; I did not notice that he weighed 6.2 Mb, instead of a few KB.  He came to me a business, I worked with years, so logically nothing intentional here. I opened it and worked as usual.

  The solution?

  I been using Macs since 1984 and have a vague idea, I solved this kind of problem once before. With Onyx? But today I really don't know.

  Help! I need help :-))

  Brian.

  Download the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. Transfer to an external HARD disk or remove files, that you no longer want on your MBP.

  Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated for the new data.

  If you can't always solve this problem, run OmniDiskSweeper as root.  See the instructions at the bottom of this link:

• After iPhoto deleting Library.migratedphotolibrary why not get all this disk space?

  I've migrated photos on my Mac (OS 10.11.2) months ago.

  I talked to AppleCare just before and I was told that I could remove the old Library.migratedphotolibrary iPhoto after confirmation of everything was in pictures and Photos Library.photoslibrary.

  I did, and they are, so I removed the old library thought I would free 113 GB of disk space on my MBP. The old library was the size and the new library is 128 GB because it has ceased to grow since the migration into Photos, and everything seems to be there.

  So I moved iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary into the trash and empty the trash. It took some time for the trash to empty! But once completed, instead of 113 GB of space to reclaim it seems that I only got back around 10 GB of space.

  Why is this? Were two libraries really sharing pointers to the same pictures?

  Thank you

  Doug

  The following explanation should help: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  Hi Ayman Jean-Claude,

  1. you are running Windows vista on the computer?

  2. how much free disk space you have after install vista sp2?

  There is a possiblity that the Windows vista sp2 installation files are always available on the computer that occupies disk space.

  Free space on the disk can be stored by running the disk cleanup on the pilot tool and check.

  1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, all programs, Accessories, clicking System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

  2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean your own files only or all files on the computer. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
