LR catalog is very low on space

Often, I get a pop up message that my disk containing my LR catalog is very low on space, and he says there are at least 20 MB of available space. The fact is however that I have 36 GB (Yes, GB) available. What should do?

Your problem is a problem of operating system, is not a problem of Lightroom.

Good reading what follows a post on another site on the management of space free PC HARD drive.

City. "Best answer: the amount of space used on your hard drive and how his organization (if you defragmented recently or files are not unionized) affect your speed when reading or writing to the HARD drive." If you are using latest software such as games and photo and video editing equipment you need to keep at least 10% of your free HARD disk for virtual memory (where the pc stores recently used for his work with a program to basically free RAM).

Generally as a rule of thumb:
(1) delete or transfer the data to your not planning on using for a while or use rarely on a drive or a second drive hard (I recommend a second hard disk if you store a lot of large data files such as videos on your pc).
(2) uninstall all of the programs that you do not intent to make regular use of old games and other software that is rarely used or has not been used for a while just to create your pc work more hard.
(3) remove any programs that you do not use that are shipped with your pc. There is generally a 1/2 dozen or better programs you can remove which come in a pack of pc.
(4) defrag often, often depending on how you use your pc, and how much you write on the HARD drive and remove it. For some people once a month is enough, for every 3-4 days really heavy users would be better for most of the people weekly 1-2 is a lot.
(5) when you do a defrag not so a cleaning disk before you defrag to get rid of unnecessary files pc stores when to perform the task.
(6) your PC will work substantially more slow when your HARD drive is full of 50% (when its almost empty). It is simply because it has more data to sift through. find a specific tree in an empty field is much easier to find a specific tree in a forest. The only problem this causes really is slightly longer wait times until you reach approximately 10% of HARD disk space. Once you dip below 10 percent, you can run into problems of virtual memory simply because left them with not enough space to increase the virtual memory. This could ultimately lead to some program your work to crashing. If you want to have 10% more free on your main HARD drive.

Note: Some say 20%, technically you can cram full, but his will alter the performance to do this. As mentioned the most comprehensive hard disk the longer it will take to defragment it (defragmentation unless space empty to put temporary files).

If you keep a large number of data files transfer disk too (I always keep everything on the disc with a master disc and the backup disk in the event of a single disk is destroyed) OR get a second HDD.

If you have just a files of many programs (or large program files) that occupy space but you get full you will need to invest in a bigger primary drive. (which means you need to invest in the OS software, unless you have a copy already practicing).

End of quote.

    Hello bethandbeacon.  I understand that you do not want to move some of your files.

    On most computers HP the D:\ drive is the recovery Partition.  You really should not move the files to this partition.  It is only to reinstall your operating system if something were to go wrong.

    Hi wap_8. I am not sure how much space is available out of the box. The D: partition looks properly said, as is the HP Recovery partition, allowing you to easily reset your computer to the default settings. The c: drive is not that far. Windows 8 could be an installation of 30-40gig, more updates, and factory loaded software.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    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.

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

    (1) restart you device.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201252

    (9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.
