• Advice needed - disk almost full (Vista)

  Hi hoping someone can point me in the right direction, I have a laptop Fujitsu running on Vista and the drive, drive is nearly full, he is only 30 GB and only got 3 GB free, that it has no images, videos or documents, I searched on the internet and using treefile find WinSXS is taking almost 10 GB. I understand that service pack 1 has a utility to clean up Winsxs but I need at least 4 GB to install SP1, I uninstalled all unnecessary programs, ran clean disk and also installed and ran ccleaner. I am now at a loss, what to do, I could do a full restore but I don't have a recovery disk, there is that no restore points on the drive, so it cannot come back earlier, ideas? Thanks in advance

  It depends on if the D: drive is actually part of the same hard drive, or two separate drives. You can view this information by going to the Disk Manager tool.  If this is the case, you can use a tool that will allow you to delete D: and extend C: to use lots of disk partitioning disk space.

  I realize that you are on Vista, which is not the same as Windows 7 configuration. With Vista, you can disable the option system restore, it will stop automatically create points of restoration of Windows, but you will leave at risk if you want to recover from mistakes in the future, so please ensure that you take regular backups of system and files on an external drive.

• SSD disk almost full

  I recently bought a new Dell Vostro 3560, with a 1 TB SERIAL ATA hard drive and a COMPLETE CARD 32 GB SSDR MSATA.

  The 32 GB card is defined as drive C, on which is installed the OS (win7), but also of office.  I took care to install a new program on the D drive, but that is still quite empty, noticed that some programs have created files on the C drive as well (in files of program files). Now, the C drive is nearly full.

  Is it possible to change the partition between C and D and allocate more space memory in C? Or should I completely remove windows and re-install everything on D? What is the right way to use the SSDR card?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

  I assume that you have installed Windows 7 manually. You should not install Windows 7 on a 32 GB drive its all just too small.

  The 32 GB mSATA reader is designed to be a Cache drive. i.e. Windows must be installed on the primary drive. See Intel reactivity installation Dell technology Guide.

  First you should check the settings of the BIOS - ' system must have the BIOS RAID mode value (in some menus of the system BIOS, this mode can be called Smart Response mode or quick start mode). " "Note: ATA and AHCI modes are not supported.

  SSD Cache drive shouldn't be listed as a reader in option during the installation of Windows and be almost invisible. Then 'System must have Intel® Rapid Storage driver and application installed in the operating system.' See page 6 to 8 of the PDF above for instructions. You'll need to install and configure this application within Windows to start caching.

  Note You may be able to change the player 32 GB for a 128-512 GB a GB mSATA and then it would be wise to install Windows on drive mSATA. I didn't know all the users report with success that they did that again although there are a few threads mention:

• How can I remove an unwanted operating system to free up space on my HARD disk almost full

  The drive is about 75 GB and has two partitions (C: and D readers :). There is a version of Vista on each partition.  My ultimate goal is to reformat the drive as one partition and reload the operating system, but I have found no way of formatting of disks, holding Vista. Help, please.

  Hello 771,

  I don't understand why Windows Disk manager would not allow a partition deletion or reformatting. I use this option during all this time without any problem of "system folders" etc.

  Take a look at these two links to my website and see if they help you:

  http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/format_partition_using_vista_dvd.htm

  http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

  Otherwise, you should eb able to erase/format the partition by using a part of htird partitioning application as Paragon Hard Disk manager or something similar.

  Paragon do a free Partition Manager (Paragon Partition Manager 11 free), check out the link below.

• Finder said disk almost full... but it's not really complete?

  Hi all

  I have a strange problem that I can't solve, even with all my own research in similar problems.

  Basically:

  1 finder said on 1000 GB on my hard drive, I have 50 or so the rest (950 or so in free use), which shouldn't be the case.

  2. just in case I'm wrong, I ran OmniDiskSweeper and DiskSweeper X to see what files are taking up that space, and the two agree that 560 or GB are used, which means that I should have still about 340 GB left, but it's all be plagued by something mysterious.

  Is there anything else I could do to investigate and solve this problem and reclaim that space? Any help would be appreciated.

  Time Machine has been disabled for years, and remains so, if providing aid.

  Thank you!

• Can not find why the startup disk is almost full

  I got the message "Boot disk almost full" and began to go through the folders. I did an EEG info on my user folder and it says 240gig, my drive is only 250 gig. But when I go through each subfolder that I can't find anything even close to that of grand. I deleted everything that I don't need but can't find where this huge amount of file space is used.

  Simple answer - don't count on the Finder.

  The Finder hides just pieces of the file system that are not relevant for most users.

  When there is only a big gap between what the OS reports is used (240GB) and what you see in the Finder, is most often due to some errant logging process that fills the system logs, with mostly useless data.

  You can view the logs (and other 'hidden' data) using the Finder go-> go to folder... menu and entering: / var

  You can also use /Applications/Utilities/Console.app to view the logs to see if you can identify what process is at fault.

• Mac Book Air boot disk is full

  My Mac Book Air continuously shows a message that the boot disk is full.  I checked and I don't have a lot of pictures or files, I use iCloud for almost everything and so I don't know what I should delete to free up space.  Has anyone else had a similar message?

  In case you're not already aware, if you have the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, everything you add to iCloud reader will have a local copy on your Mac.

  The following may help if it is anything other than iCloud drive:

  hard disk almost full how can I empty it

  Please download the program TreeSizeFree [1] and run it. It shows you which folders use the entire space.

  

  You are able to locate the folder that uses less space? Now, open the folders and look if you need data. If this is not the case, delete them.

• I get a message saying startup disk is almost full and to delete files. How can I go about it?

  I have a macbook air and a message comes up saying that my boot drive is almost full and delete files to make more space. What files and where? Thank you.

  Buy an external hard drive if you do not already have one and migrate personal files, things like documents, music, photos, videos, stuff like that.  Once they are on the external hard drive, delete them from your computer.  You would remove them the same way you would remove any other thing - click it, right-click, select "Move to trash."  Delete nothing however, until you have moved to an external drive.  If you don't save a copy somewhere, once you remove them, it's over and you can't get it back.

  To understand what that other things that can be deleted are go up --> about this Mac--> storage.  This will tell you how many you have on your hard drive right now.  Post here a screenshot of it.

  My problem is this: I have 72 GB free on my macbook pro (I almost everything save on external hds), but recently, when I plug the external hard drive, an error message appears: 'startup disk is almost full. When I check the free space on the disk, it tells me that I have no free space: all the space is taken by 'Other' stuff. When I unplug the hard drive, everything returns to normal. How can I solve this problem?

  Is this a computer supplied by the manufacturer with Windows
  pre-installed?
   
  If so, D: is probably a recovery disk partition. This is where
  to allow you to reinstall Windows if it is necessary. It comes
  full (or almost full) and you should be sure never to write anything

• Recovery disk - I restored my files, but the drive keeps telling me that it is almost full

  Recently, I backed up my files on the recovery drive. I have restored my files, but the drive keeps telling me that it is almost full. I don't know how to fix this.

  Restoring a backup does not remove the backup files.  You must remove them manually, unless you want to save in case another restore of that backup is necessary.

  And if you did it on your manufacturer's recovery disk, it wasn't a good idea.  This disc is for recovery only and should be used for anything else.  Find another drive to use for backups.  If this is the case, it may be best to contact the manufacturer and tell them that you were doing so they can help you to correctly resolve the situation without causing problems for disk recovery and your ability to use it as it should be used the need ever.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
