My C drive is full
A month ago I restored my laptop using the recovery disk provided by HP. All right - I had to update an hour things Microsoft - the laptop is four years. Everything seemed fine. A few weeks ago, I started downloading the videos on the computer and found that I have not enough space on my drive C. I have checked and found that it maxed out at about 55 GB (hard disk of 60Go). I was shocked. When at last I checked (I think before the restoration), I was only at about 27 GB of capacity. Is there softwear operating or duplicates. Can someone advise?

Hi kpeters2,
Thank you for using answers Forum.
How big are the files your download video?
They tend to run quite high.
Have you made a backup of Vista that might be too much space?
I suggest searching for information that can be deleted to make room running Disk Cleanup.
You can open Disk Cleanup by clicking Start and then typing "Disk Cleanup".
Right click on the entry that appears near the top, click on "Run as Administrator".
Your password can be asked to you.
Please let us know if that helps.

Satellite M200 Vista shows that the HARD drive is full of 98%
This problem showed about 2 months ago the system started running slowly and after a bit of research, I went to computer and found he showed that the HARD drive was full of 98%. Then I went and disabled the feature of shadow copy that reached about 3 Gig. After that, the performance was still hurt, so I decided to do a system restore. All reformatted once was good again until a week ago, and the same problem came back once again.
This laptop is running Vista Home Premium SP1, 120 Gig drive HARD, Kaspersky Anti-virus, it has very limited connection to the Net, as it is mainly used to store and transfer music on an Ipod (20 GB of music).
Any thoughts? Maybe a hardware failure?
Thanks in advance.
Craig.
Hardware failure is very likely, since you are clearly able to access your hard disk without problem.
Looks like you are using software that could be gradually fill the hard drive with data, such as a log file, it is difficult to say.
With the erosion of the space, you might want to periodically check each folder in drive C (right click, properties) and see how it changes for each new session.Also clean the temporary files would help such as for:
"c:\temp".
"c:\windows\temp".
"%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp.
erase internet files of Internet Explorer cache / temporary
deactivation and reactivation then "System Restore" (do this only if you are satisfied with Vista is running stable)Richard S.

The boot on my iMac drive is full for the docking station does not,.
My boot drive is full, so will not show the dock, I can't see the files to delete and make more space. Safari works well, and the files on the drop down menu Apple I have opened recently, always open, so I don't think that the iMac is broken - full. How can I get files to delete and make more room?
Start safe mode and delete or move files and applications is no longer, you need or use ff of the drive up you jave enough space. DO NOT delete system files or you could end up with a very unstable system. You can move large libraries like your music, pictures and videos on an external drive.

My laptop has 2 dual processor x 75 GB. Tried to move the files to the E drive but they double and are difficult to locate. Life should be easier than this! C drive is nearly full, E drive uses only 30%. What happens when the C drive is full?
[Moved from comments]
Simple!
You get a BIGGER hard drive.
The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.
Which is the same amount that I have in my table.
2 x 250 GB.
I have XP Pro on one single, Windows 7, on the other. (And each of them uses ONLY about HALF of these hard drives!)
In a month or two, I'll upgrade to 2 x 1 terabyte hard drives. sounds a little one 'kill too much', I know, but hey, my computer IS able to be updated that he got so far it?
Yours is in need of an upgrade too, suggest that there is, to solve your problem!

Try a new Folder.dbx file. Reboot when finished.In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.The path to the message will be very similar to this:C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook ExpressWith OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.Note these possible side effects:When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.If this does not work, view the error enrire that you see. Two of them. -

I know you didn't want to scream... Not to be too critical, but it really looks like you need a new 'computer' man as it is inexcusable to erase data files when you install a new operating system, especially if it does not create a backup disk or files. Having to reinstall programs is normal, but the data must never be lost.You apparently have different issues that might be related to malicious software and drivers a bad or hardware problems for your computer. I recommend that you take a small reputation of the computer "mom & pop" type computer store to have your repairs. Big box stores, such as Staples, Best Buy, etc. are NOT reputable in computer repair. Take installation discs you have for the computer, and a good description of what is happening. -

Yes, you can move the data files on an external hard drive. You can also add a new disk
