  • T520: low disk space on the workstation

    Recently, we purchased a few customers light t520, and already there are problems with disk space. I removed a few programs and added a few, but I haven't done anything unusual to increase the use of the disk. Ordinary forms do not help, disk cleanup gives me just a couple MBs to release. We have an application that requires .net 4.6 but now I can not install it because of disk space is low.

    The disc has a capacity of 16 GB, but Windows itself takes up almost all of it, and most seem to be located in the WinSxs folder. HP should not be selling these discs 16 GB so its barely enough for the Windows installation.

    Please tell us how to free up space on the disk.

    I got help elsewhere and told to delete everything in the folder Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/download released a few gigabytes, so I'm good for now. But still, it should come with at least 32 GB of storage.

  • Bootcamp lost after the new partition (try to increase disk space for the window)

    I have Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. Here are the details on my system.

    So I tried to increase the space in the partition for the training camp by using disk utility. I created the new partition. But now I can't bootcamp while I restart the computer and hold down the option key. I tried this in the terminal:

    sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0

    p

    setpid 4

    07

    Pavilion 4

    p

    writing or w (tried both)

    There

    But it does not seem to pick up my bootcamp windows. I also tried to restore the mac as early date of backup via external hard drive, but that doesn't seem to help either.

    Here is the screenshot of the output. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  • IM always get "low disk space" and the backup file always fails and recovery D

    always get low D recovery and backup disk space the files always cleaning disc fails is no help either

    You are NOT supposed to file backups on ypur recovery Partition D.

    Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
    You use it to restore your system.

    You are NOT supposed to touch it... to not add anything in it or remove anything from him.

    You call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

    1. ask for a set of recovery DVD, if you don't have a game yourself. The game is essential to restore your computer in case where it breaks down, and you screwed up the recovery partition which is unusable for recovery.
    2. ask to talk to a technician. Ask the person how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
    They, the manufacturer of computer created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
    Let them teach how you to.

    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of the file *.

  • Free disk space in the Windows Explorer status bar.

    In Windows 7, I wonder how to display disk space is free in the Windows Explorer. In XP, you could see how much space was free down in the status bar. He would say how objects and disk space that was free. How can I activate this in Windows 7?

    Return to the root that particular drive is annoying, when I should be able to see how much free space I have for any folder.

    Thank you.

    These 2 features have been removed from the latest version of windows and really help to speed up the use of every day:

    Display the amount of free space
    Display of the total size of the files in folders.

    How this two features can be added to the status bar?

  • Elements 14 says I'm low disk space when I'm not

    Recently installed 14 items on a new computer.  I imported a bunch of photos and when I try to change the Organizer using anything other than agricultural or the removal of red eye, I get a message that I can't because I'm low disk space.  My computer is not low disk space; This is a new computer.  So far I have not problems no Editor editing.  I have items on my C: drive and pictures are on a mapped network drive. Previously, I had 11 items and never had a problem with the photos on a network drive.

    I saw that there is an unresolved on the matter in December.  Any solution?

    Thanks - I just read that all discussion and it appears the answer is that with the upgrade to 14, you cannot store pictures on the NAS and have correctly work items. Do you know if you can store on AWS or something similar? I saw a reference to be stored on the cloud in this discussion.

    A removable disk does not work so I need to have more than one user to access pictures.

    Share photos AND catalogs (even having licenses for each user) has never been the purpose of the elements. The nearest way is limited to share a library as well as the catalogue on an external drive, by pluggin JEP alternately to each computer. It is common, when you use a desktop computer and a laptop computer at different times.

    Share photos only on the NAS for all users may be obtained using the SIN as a backup copy with software like Synctoy. If other users need not really the Organizer, but he can live with a traditional and hierarchical folder hierarchy, it will work.

  • XP partition low disk space. How to exploit the unused space on other partitions?

    My XP installation reported a low disk space. It's on a 20 GB partition. The biggest space hogs are "C:\WINDOWS" and "C:\Documents and Settings\Allen\Local Settings" (Allen in me), both with 8 MB.  I install most apps on another partition of 200 GB.  My data are also on another partition (250 GB).  I'm surprised that the C: partition got so full.

    When I installed first the o/s, I moved "My Documents" to the 'data' partition, using the built-in functionality of XP (I forgot how, now). I can do the same thing with "C:\Documents and Settings"?

    If this is not possible, can I extend the existing partition without having to reinstall the operating system?

    Thank you!

    Are C and D partitions separate on the same drive or separate internal drives?

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  • 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.
