  My C drive memory decreases day by day, on which I have installed windows. I did install a new application or a file downloaded, but memory decrease. What could be the problem is it due to windows updates?

  You can use Disk Cleanup to recover space on the hard drive.  Watch clean some old points system restore via disk cleanup that frees a lot of space for you.  Run the program on a regular basis, not once a year.

• 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

• C drive properties 'System Volume Information' and D disk error

  I did previously press properties of drive C and press the safety button don't miss. Now my pc c diving all the file disappear and turn into "System Volume Information" folder only. If I try to search previous folder still can enter in through to find the name of the folder. In fact, I would like to know can get any method back to my previous version of pc that can see the folder back. Indeed pretty weird as the last time I try to use the search function can always get the desired file name that I used to have. But currently when I remember one of the things to look for, but it cannot search again. Not sure when I'm going to fix the system, the file appears again. My C drive disk space not reduce but just show the 'System Volume Information' folder but not show anything this either inside after click the folder. Not sure you have encounter this problem or not.

  Next to my disk error C, my D drive also seem to mistake, as evidenced by the "Valorisation" folder but doesn't show anything. But when I click on the search button, can find some files as shown in my D drive path. Don't know how to recover my files.

  If you know who are faced with this problem and the method to solve, can share with me.

  In any case, thank you very much.

• Formatting the USB in Windows XP disk, create a folder "system volume information" How can I overcome this problem

  Hello team, I tried to format my 2 GB to Format NTFS USB in WINDOWS XP. When I format the drive, it has been formatted sucssfully, but in the formatted disk, a folder is created named as 'System Volume Information '. I tried to remove my USB drive safley but it show and error as "the generic Volume is used in another program... '. ».  Why this happens, the 'System Volume Information' folder is a virus? How can I fix this problem... reply me as soon as possible... Thank you all...

  Hello

  It does seem like a virus. Since you're a NTFS format, it should be a system folder. System folder is present on NTFS volumes and is used for system restore points.

  If you want to remove, you may need to format the drive to FAT32.

• I get a widow in my lower toolbar that rpet low disk space, and when I click it to try to delete the old files, it does nothing... so what do I do... ?

  I get a window in my toolbar lower repeating me low disk space and when I click it to try to remove the old files, it does nothing... so what should I do to get rid of the files in a "D" file...?

  Please perform these steps and the back of the report.

  Click Start, click computer, and it will display your hard drives and their letters. Normally C: is your operating system and where everything is stored (user: files, programs, Documents, photos, etc.). The D: is your RECOVERY partition and contains a copy of the first installation of the plant. The D: is small, about 9 to 15 GB, depending on the version of Windows.

  For example, my C: displays 306 GB free (unused) 374 GB (hard disk capacity). D: shows 2.11 free 11.5 GB GB. This is normal for HP, Compaq and others. New HP (Win 7) include an E: with less than 1 GB of capacity, to store a program utility tools. These so-called hard disks are in fact partitions installed on a physical hard disk, but not to concern. The c: partition free space is your important answer. BeAware that the D: and E: (if you have the configuration described above, are never to be used as restore points, or your personal files, they are allocated by the manufacturer to support the reinstallation of the operating system.) My example shows that my C: partition made only 68GB used on the disc, 306 GB is free (unused) 374 GB capacity.

  (1) report with numbers, and you can be helped.

  (2) Vista writes copies ghosts of all your documents (previous versions of the files). These can take many GB.

  (3) when he gets less than 20 percent free, you start to have problems with the disk defragmentation. Less than 10% results in critical problems, the problems of performance and for the worse.

  (4) if the number of free GB is really a low disk space issue, you need to move some of the large data files (pictures, videos,...) out on CD or DVD.

  If it helps, let me know. I'm not a moderator, just a user trying to use simple language to help others.

• Eraser 6 does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the necessary permissions

  Gum does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the required permissions. I tried running as admin as troubleshooting told me, but it still does not work? What I am doing wrong.

  The reason why it is not working is that even if you close the gum and reopen it as a Director he is still a running process (which was not stop when you closed the gum) in the background without administrator rights.

  The solution is to ctrl-alt - del-> windows-> processes Task Manager.

  Kill the process called 'eraser.exe', and then you restart gum as an administrator.

  Thus, the background process will win also rights administrator.

  It worked for me :)

• HP 14-r025tx: what is the maximum size of hard drive I can replace my default one? & other hard disk performance issue

  My default hard disk is almost full and I plan to update. What is the maximum size that this model could overcome? Very well is 2-3 to?

  Another question.

  I replaced my optical drive to a box with a 250 GB SSD HARD drive inside. I installed my new operating system here, and makes the default boot drive. The default value of HARD drive that comes with the laptop is my backup drive. This is configured by okay?

  or

  Do I have to put my SSD on the default HARD drive space and put my 2 to/3 TB harddrive on the caddy for maximum performance?

  Hello

  1. in theory, you can get 2 TB or TB but 1 TB has better peformance.

  2. you cannot boot from the caddy. My suggestion: use for normal Bay and 2 TB SSDS in the caddy. You both what you want.

  3. as (2) above.

  Kind regards.

• System Volume Information devours 71 GB of space (on a 100 GB partition)

  In order to cut short this problem:

  -System Restore is DISABLED.

  -J' tried to use vssadmin, but it does not, for example: vssadmin resize shadowstorage / on = C: / for = C: / MaxSize = 1 GB

  -J' have tried to use disk cleanup, but even once, it does not work.

  And always the System Volume Information devours 71 GB. I can't delete the files it contains, I can't change the permissions. Then what should I do to get rid of this pig space?

  This answer makes no sense.

  But it seems that Windows has decided to delete the bad eating space now for no reason, so I think it's time to close this issue. At this point, I have absolutely no idea why it happened, or how it was fixed.

• Amount of disk space available on the disk hard keeps fluctuating.

  I have a Compaq CQ2103WM-B desktop running Windows XP, hard disk Go 139.  I started to receive notices of high memory use, began to receive notices of disk space is low. I ran the cleaning disc several times, it has been very slow, constantly showing only 2 bars, sometimes for hours. He finally released the space and I have deleted several programs and files, emptied the trash. After a few minutes the amount of free space started going down again. For several days, I kept repeating this process, but keep decreases the amount of free space on the disk. Now, it fluctuates to the amount of free space on the disk every few minutes. I downloaded and ran CCleaner, it frees up space and again it has disappeared in a few minutes. He got so low that I can't watch videos, use system restore, download other software or software upgrades (like Norton), cannot download pictures from my camera or save files in programs such as Corel Draw. Right now is 3.97 MB free space, he went down in the KBs, sometimes it goes up, but it changes even if I do nothing. I scanned for viruses and malware, Norton managed to reach space, but it lasted only a few minutes. I don't know anything else to try. Would it be a software problem, the malware that Norton cannot detect, the hardware, or if my system has been hacked and someone uses free space on my computer? Any information would be appreciated.

  In disk clean up, look for the button "other options" above I think it is, go to the

  the bottom of the next page, look for "System Restore" cleaning, this eliminates all but the last

  restore, and then mount the disk clean up. In addition, with a 139 GB hd, you must also have video/music

  files on the C: drive, perhaps to burn them on a cd. In addition, in my c: drive-count, R.click, open,

  Do scroll through folders & see what take place, install a slave drive can be

  you are the answer. With this, you can move all data from the user to the slave instead of having

  C: drive handle it all.

• Does hibernation consumes more disk space on every hibernation?

  I know that hibernation takes disk space, but need more on every hibernation?

  Hi Joseph,.

  Thanks for joining us on the Microsoft Community forums.

  Hibernation and system restore are features that help users to restore their system or avoid the loss of data, in a number of situations, such as low battery (hibernation), misapplication or other corruption machine installation (System Restore). Combined, these devices consume a large percentage of the footprint. Due to the amount of space these use, they are easy to identify and to make decisions regarding.

  Hibernate is mainly used on laptop computers and saves your work on the hard drive, and puts the computer in a low power state.  Hibernate is used on laptop computers when the battery runs out under a certain threshold, or to turn off the computer without using Shut Down to save the batteries as much as possible.  On Windows Vista, hibernation is automatically used with sleep on desktop computers to keep a backup of open programs and work. This feature is called hybrid sleep and is used to save the State in case of power failure hard disk when the computer sleeps.  Hibernate all content in RAM (living) writes a file named Hiberfil.syshard disk.  Therefore, the size of the reserved Hiberfil.sys is equal to the amount of RAM in the machine.  In Windows Vista, the amount of RAM under construction in computers has increased significantly, as well as the footprint of disk hibernation is more sensitive than before. This space should be reserved in advance in order to ensure that, in a critical situation of low battery, the system can easily write contents of memory to disk.  Any user of mobile PC who has known his incoming computer automatically hibernation when the battery is very low allows to enjoy the peace of mind provided by the growth of the footprint.

• 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.

• Disk space available inconsistancy - how can I fix it?

  Hello

  My iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) incorrectly displays available disk space or is corrupt.

  Most data show than others (I know it's music and video).  This could show in this way that others use the iMac as well?

  I have

  people with disabilities and activate spot which is used for more information on the use of space.

  used the built in disk utilities.

  Run fsck in the command line.

  None of this solves the problem.

  It started when I moved the iMac to a synology Server data.

  I think / hope it was the cache or temporary files which would disappear.  No luck at this point.

  I am considering a reconstruction which may include installation of a disk a lot more.

  Or I create a mirror image of the OS and applications and hover over the data.

  This would allow to format me the drive in the unit and the copy of the OS and the application of return

  Maybe reinstalling the operating system will not solve the problem (seems unlikely to me).

  I'm looking for suggestions for this problem that could be easier and take less time!

  Thanks, Ron
