Memory hard disk space?

Until recently, my main hard drive is lost memory with no additional downloads. 20gigs of space disappeared in 2 weeks. I could make a clean disk with windows and with an internet security program but impossible to recover this loss of storage. I also did a restore of windows at a date prior to this incident, but without success. What is this possible. ? At this rate I won't lose my space of hard drive in 2 months.

Hi Whynot build.

Try to remove the restore points from your computer. This will probably give you an extra 20 GB

How to delete all system restore points except the most recent

To do this: -.
Click Start > all programs > Accessories > System Tools > click Disk Cleanup
Now run this utility and click the Other Options tab click clean up under System Restore and shadow copies. Has message will popup -are you sure you want to remove all but the last restore point? Click Remove and exit the program. Now, all restore points in the system to the most recent exception are cleaned. As a result, there will be more free space on hard drive.

  • Hard disk space is down on its own without adding files or programs.

    original title: reduction of disk space

    My hard disk space is down without my add files or programs. I deleted the files, and after a while, I get the message that I'm out of space disk yet. I ran the windows disk cleaner, but the question is not what I need more disk space - is my drive space decreases continuously. For example, yesterday I got 4.89 GB free, today, I 4.80 - without adding anything to my computer. Any suggestion for what can happen and how to fix this?

    Another minor issue I have is that sometimes windows does not start correctly and I can't open any programs after implementation - in this case, I just restart and it works usually then. Don't know which is related to the question of good memory, but maybe it is?

    I am running Windows Vista Business SP2 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X 61.

  • I can't open attachments generated in Excel or Word. Get an error there is not enough memory or disk space.

    MIcrosoft Excel cannot open or save documents more because there is not enough memory or disk space.
    To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    To free disk space, delete files that you no longer have need of the disc you save to.

    I have 4.75 TB of disk space available. I tried to close open programs and I can't always open attachments.

  • Is it normal that Firefox consumes hard disk space open?

    Last week, I noticed the following 'strange' behavior of Firefox on my iMac (under Snow Leopard 10.6.8): while I have the browser open (usually on Facebook) my hard drive space appears to reduce (for example, 265,14 GB 265,01 GB). When I close Firefox and restart my computer, the amount of hard disk space increases again. He don't know if that happened in the past or if it's something normal. I have not installed extensions or themes, my plugins are all updated and I do not have a lot of navigation (the FB open Startpage and cat enough). Firefox doesn't seem to have performance problems, but I just want to know if there is a problem and if I could solve it somehow.

    Firefox uses more a GB of space on my hard drive regularly (sometimes 2GB). This seems excessive - especially since I put the cache size to 500 MB.

  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • Why Lightroom uses hard disk space if my catalog is in dropbox?

    I am new to Lightroom and love it so far. In addition to some external hard drives backup, I keep all my photos on Dropbox and am currently trying to build my library in Lightroom by importing my photos. Because I'll be editing my photos from multiple computers, I decided to move my Lightroom Catalog to Dropbox as well. This way I can continue to ensure coherence between several machines in my library.

    My question, however, is that whenever I have import photos, I seem to be consumes hard disk space on my computer. I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive. I know that I am using the correct catalog (also the catalog only I have for Lightroom) because use space has increased after my import on my dropbox catalog file.

    I don't know there's a logical reason - as I said, I'm new to Lightroom so always understand the ins and outs. But if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it a lot!

    Thank you

    By default copy of Dropbox (and synchronizes forever) all in your remote Dropbox folder on each device that you have connected to your Dropbox account.

    1 GB of files in your remote Dropbox folder will also chew up to 1 GB of space on each hard disk attached to the Dropbox account.

    The power of the box lies in its timing in order to always have the latest file available on any device connected to your Dropbox account. The compromise is that 5 appliances also each stores its own copy of the same file. Any changes made to any file on any device is synchronized by Dropbox.

    You can save space locally by allowing a selective sync in Dropbox and saying Dropbox folders to synchronize and copy it to the local disk and which ignores.

    Are you using the selective sync Dropbox?

  • ESXi 4.0 initial installation 208167 used 80G of hard disk space

    Hello

    I'll put up an old HP Proliant DL360 G5 server with two hard drives, managed by the HP Smart Array P400i controller 146SAS.  With RAID 1 + 0, the LogicalDisk is about 136G.  After you have installed the server ESXi 4.0, vSphere client reported that 51G is available for virtual machines.   See attached snapshot.  Back in 2009, on a new DL360 G6 server, I used the same software to ESXi 4.0 and installing used only 2 GB of space.  Which could use the 80G of hard disk space? 

    I noticed a difference in how vSphere client reported the DTX200:

    The DL360 G5, the customer reported the storage as "local disk VMWare..." »

    The DL360 G6, the customer reported the storage as "Home HP series SCSI Disk... »

    Any idea what happened to the 80G?  Thank you.

    If I understand you correctly, there is nothing on the data store yet (i.e. no VMs)? In this case, you can try to remove the data store and recreate to see if it reports the correct size after that.

  • Space filling without reason for memory/hard disk

    I am working with a large file MS Word (currently, it is great close to 1 GB) and every time I use the file or open it in preview, my computer crashes, slows down, and the amount of disk space hard be used rapidly decreases.  I started with 10 + GB of free space, now I'm less than 2 and get the computer error messages telling me that my hard drive is almost full.  I do not know how to find the files that are clearly in place so I can delete them.  Display hidden files did not reveal anything.  It got to the point where I can open is no longer the large file the computer tells me that the file is damaged.  Reboot does not restore the lack of available disk space.  I am at my wit's end and that you have already removed many other video files and photo I can to free up space.  If not for this problem, I'm sure I'd have at least 20 GB of free space now.  What I can do to understand where space and eliminate permanently?  I need at least another hour to continue working on this issue!

    Starting with the system will create a swap file at least as large as the file being opened. If changes are made then these files will usually stick around as auto-enregistre until the file itself is saved or closed. It is also possible that the large file pushes the other system processes in virtual memory on the disk. That said, unless there are compression/decompression funky stuff going on that I can't imagine a 1 GB file to consume more than 10 GB in "temporary" resources

    I would like to check the status of the Application ~/Library/Caches/ and ~/Library/Saved / for the missing hard drive space (you may need to use the GoTo option in the Finder).

    Usually nothing deleted in the above locations will be automatically recreated when you next run of the corresponding application, but clearing out rarely used application files could release (temporarily) a little extra space. Destruction can also solve problems of application-specific file corruption.

    Otherwise double check that you remembered to empty the trash.
