Missing disk space

• Missing disk space metrics

  I have a vCOps Advanced installation, worked for about 30 days.

  Problem is that I don't see disk space metrics. Or rather, midninght last night it stopped collecting data, and it themselves in any view of planning.

  

  • vCenter Server 5.1
  • Update vCOps to 5.8.3 of 5.8.2, including restarting, no change
  • All hosts vSphere 5.0.0

  No clue as to what could be the problem?

  See you soon,.

  This behavior is expected because of the way in which the SMS service work. stats of vCenter collect every 5 min, but the connection is different when it connects to the SMS... data is not updated as often here. This is the same service that animates the views of storage in vcenter, so there is no need to update each intervals of ~ 24 hr 5 min. is what you'll usually see by "space"stats, which cannot be changed."

• Disk space is missing/disappeared...

  Recently, I noticed that there was a drastic/sudden drop on my Tablet Surface RT / 32 GB of disk space.  I can't explain 4.5 GB of space.  I'm up to 8 GB free on the 24 GB on the main partition and I moved all my media files and documents of my 32gig MicroSD card. So that leaves only windows/office, Cache Office, installed applications and configuration settings for 3 users on the C: drive and which is reported as being 17 GB!

  So I investigated the use of the disc is to show the following numbers (and Yes, the trash is empty):

  17.2 GB in use

  7,69 GB free

  Then I studied the size of folder and it does not add up to 17.2 GB

  MSOCache: 1.29 GB

  Program Files: 959 MB

  The program data: 94 MB

  Users: 2.94 GB

  Windows: 8.32 GB

  What happened to the valuable 4.5 GB of missing disk space on the primary drive?  It seems that this has happened after the recent patches/updates?  How to bring back this space?  I tried the normal disk cleanup process, but he didn't get this kind of space.  I have a lot of space on the MicroSD card, but I can't install apps on this disc and it's a slower drive.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Surface RT is awesome!

  Ray:

  Have you seen Surface FAQ disk space?

  http://www.Microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/surface-with-Windows-RT/files-folders-and-online-storage/surface-disk-space-FAQ

  I wonder if the recent decline was due to an update of Windows? Try this:

  Open the charm of parameters, type disk cleanup, and then tap Settings. Choose defragment and optimize your drives from the search results. Tap optimization.

  (maybe some temporary files will be deleted?)

  You can free 3.5 GB if you create a recovery USB disk (and delete the recovery image on the Surface):

• 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.

  Hello

  I finally solved the problem by removing the somr registry keys and then he met again today. I decided to fix it permanently.

  I have not explored all the possibilitiies, but here's a simple solution: just delete the following key

  Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags HKEY_CURRENT_USER

  By removing this key you wil lose customization files. This probably isn't a big deal, but you should know.

  Now, I don't know if this is specific to my setup I was able to solve the problem by removing only 1 value:

  Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\15\Shell\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER \mode {5C4F28B5-F869-4E84-8E60-F11DB97C5CC7}

• Missing after pre-allocating to extra 40 GB hard disk space

  Hello

  I use Windows 7 with VMWare fusion and everything works fine except after a few days, I'm already low disk space.

  What virtual machine installation automatically allocated 40 GB by default Windows C: / / hard drive. On the settings tab, under the hard drive, I moved the slider up to 80 GB and checked the "pre-allocate disk space" option before applying the settings. It took a few minutes to complete and then the extra space was absent from the partition on my mac, but when I run windows folder C: / / is still only 40 GB, and I can't find where the missing space disappeared.

  Anyone know how I can develop either drive C to the 80 GB that was to be distributed on it, or otherwise restore disk space lost from my mac?

  Kind regards

  Jack

  Hi Jack,

  Welcome to the forums.

  After resizing the virtual disk, you must tell Windows 7 to extend its partition. Go to the management of records within your guest and extend your C: drive with available disk space.

• ~ 30 GB of disk space are missing on my T61

  Hello

  My T61 has a 80 GB drive. I use ~ 45GB (including program files, Windows etc.), and I have only 2 GB of free space. Where have I lost 30 GB of disk space? I guess that's something to Lenovo that uses disk space for backup. Can I check that? If it is used for the backup, delete old backups?

  Thank you

  Erez

  first of all you don't have 80 GB of hard drive space in space, as the manufacturer of HARD drive use 1 GB = 1000 MB, while the BONES see 1 GB = 1 024 MB, so the moment where you format your HARD drive, there are already 80 x 24 MB of space missing. While the rest of the lack of hard drive space are mostly taken as a backup and backup recovery, if you want to remove them just go to folder Thinkvantage-> Rescue and Recovery, in which you are authorized to view and delete backups, but make sure that you remove the smallest to the largest, otherwise the process will freeze , due to insufficient space, you have on your hard drive.

• TEMPRO v2 - changing the threshold of disk space alert

  Hello

  I downloaded and installed Tempro v2 on a Satellite A200. It works well.

  However, tempro was a problem that was present in version 1.x.

  Disk space alert low value trigger, much, much too early to the disk space of 25% on any partition. On a modern drive, it is around 15 GB. It's average, far too early to say a problem. I swiched disable this alert - I don't want to do. There seems to be no way (that I can find) to activate this alert to raise to a more reasonable value - 10% left of disk space or a given amount of space left - say 2 GB.

  Y at - it a fix for this or have I missed how to set this value, because I don't want to run without knowing that I'm under low disk space? This alert to 25% is irritating.

  Thank you

  Clive

  Hello

  I don t think you can change this value or parameters
  TEMPRO sends notifications about the status of the entire HARD disk and it is why you received this message.

  I have this tool on my laptop too but didn t find settings that would disable the notification on simple partitions on the HARD drive

• Satellite L650/OED - out of disk space

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L650/OED, and stated in the specifications, storage is 640 GB, but the only hard drive in my computer after I first initalized, it is only 583GB, what's missing?

  And I have read the user menu and found that there is a recovery partition which has been hidden, so how can I find this partition?

  It seems that the default setting for this laptop is that there is only one disk hard C, but no other disk dirve D or E. So, how can I protect my files once I need to reformat the C?

  Thank you

  Hi TYQ,.

  I think the problem is that you always less disk space that you can find on the specifications on the HARD drive. On Wikipedia, there is an interesting article on the measures of capacity:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#capacity

  As you can see, everything is ok with your disk ;)

  With regard to the recovery partition: you should see when you go into Windows disk management. But if you remove it, you aren't able to use HARD drive recovery.

• Error message Microsoft Word "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk. »

  I have a MacBook Pro, retina 13inch OS X el Capitan Version 10.11.1 with 16 GB of memory. It's brand new and I have recently installed Microsoft Word/Powerpoint etc. a disc that I bought a few years to my previous MacBook. It seems to work very well, but whenever I want to open a word document a message comes up saying "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk '. However, once I click 'OK' this message disappears and my word file opens without a problem. I have 16 GB of memory on this laptop and it's new I have not reached anywhere near the maximum amount of storage so I'm puzzled as to what this message means. How can I avoid that this message popping up everytime I open Microsoft Word? Any help would be appreciated!

  This has nothing to do with memory - it's the SSD. Word tries to create a temporary file to use as a backup if the program crashes while you are working. First, run the Microsoft Update program to see if there are updates you have missed. Second, Microsoft currently supports only versions 2011 and 2016, so if yours is older, you should consider the upgrade. Thirdly, I suspect that the temporary file is not get created so that you have fewer cancellations (maybe any) and that if the program crashes you have to restore.

• Including disk space in drive C

  Hi, I have 148GB hard drive which has a car - 141 C and a D drive - 7.71 GB partitioned by HP. towards the end I was running low disk space. I did a disk cleanup and defragmentation on a regular basis. I checked the size of each folder on drive C, and then the total space and it does not match.

  That's what I got after checking the space on individual files:

  Go 122,18 includes Doc & settings, program files, and any other folder in the C drive (no hidden files - the option is disabled in my computer > tools)

  18,82 GB is therefore reported missing.

  I put t see all other files and folders in the C drive, temporary files, cookies are deleted and the Recycle Bin is empty.

  Over the years, patch from Windows Update installers can take a lot of hard drive space. System Restore also feeds a small piece of space. Try to clean the system restore files by clicking on the 'More Options' tab in disk cleanup. Go down and clean the system restore.

  CCleaner may clean old hotfix files. You can download it for free and discover its settings, and HERE I've used for years on many machines.

• Cannot free up disk space on drive c.

  Hello

  I have an older version of Windows XP on my computer and despite the use of the function of disk cleanup, add/remove programs functions and Windows components, so to try to defragment the computer, I receive the message that the computer is low disk space.  I took all the programs that I don't use and attempted to take off from documents unnecessary, games, etc., as well, but when I check the C: drive on the 'Properties' tab, it shows almost the entire hard drive used.  I do not know what but because I even do not play a lot of games on it, have images or music programs and I can't understand what is on the hard drive of the computer.  If it of the adware or spyware, I can not say because when I tried to install an adware/spyware detector, he cannot do that because there is not enough disk space!  Obviously, something takes all the space, but how I tell me what it is and more important still, how do I get my computer?  Thank you.

  I have this problem as well, and the question is larger than what these people are saying. If you open the folder and ctrl + a to select all, then go to properties, it will show that the contents of the folder is only about 5 or 6 concerts, 7 on it. the other 60 + concerts which takes the file are mysteriously non-existent. I have no idea what is causing this problem, but I can promise you that no amount of deletion it will manage because the memory is not be overtaken by what is actually stored on your computer.

  It sounds like you're looking in a directory (folder) that includes hidden files and hidden folders.  What is the name of the "folder" you are watching?

  While you have the mystery open in Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options.  Select the view tab.  Scroll down and select the option "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck the box (a little further down) to "Hide protected operating system files."  Click OK.

  The "disappeared" 60 GB now appears?

  See http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2005/05/tip-of-the-day-show-hidden-files-with-a-simple-script/

  I suggest that you cancel the above changes when you are finished.

  If you still can't find the missing stuff, download and run JDiskReport.  This will show you what takes up space on your hard drive.

• compaction of disk space is removing the last 6 months of emails and put them in the trash. He has never done this before.

  When I compact my disk space, it deletes all previous 6 months emails in the trash. He's never done this before and has since a few months I do not more. all compact space solutions without losing everything?

  Compaction doesn't send your mail in the trash. Those are backup files in case something like this happens.

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Recovery methods:

  If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

  I made a movie of 30 minutes or more in WMM, some of the videos that I imported I had to convert to wmv, to import into WMM. Once I went to publish the movie, after the publication of about 1%, an error message pops up saying something like "cannot publish to the specified location.
