My C drive is nearly full, can I send the 'Users' folder to 'C' on another disk "D"?

I am usiinf Windows 7 Professional, my 'C' drive is an SSD with 'only' 56 Gig. My hard drive "D" is a one terabyte with more than 900 GB of space left on it.

My file 'Users' is 13 Gig.

I don't think you can move the Users folder, but you can disable Hibernate and move your pagefile to free space, and you can move your Documents, music, pictures and videos folders.  You can uninstall some programs, and then reinstall them using the custom option and put them on the D: drive too.

Good luck.

  • My C drive is nearly full, but my D drive is almost empty

    Hi all. I have a hard drive 1 TB, divided in a 250 GB drive C and 750 D player. My problem is that the C drive is nearly full, but the large D drive is almost empty. I have urgent need to move the partition, or transfer a huge chunk of files from C to D drive. The first would be better, or even delete the partition and have one disk, but I tried to move the partition using the Windows utility, and all I could do was reduce the C drive. I don't see how to remove the partition either.

    Which leaves the possibility of moving one of the large folders on drive C to D, which seems risky, but an it vendor told me that I could move the big folder of users (75GB). It seemed risky, but being desperate I tried - and got the error code 0 x 80070057. I would be grateful for any advice on how to solve this stupid problem.

    You can safe your Documents, photos, videos and music files to the other disk.  Navigate to the folder users, your user folder.  Right-click on each one and choose move.

    Remember that the overall performance will begin to suffer when you exceed 75% c in use.

    However, your real problem is the fact that your hard drive is partitioned and it need not be.

    Copy all your data on the D drive in an external storage device.

    Right click on computer, select Manage

    Click on disk management

    Right click on D and choose Delete volume

    Right click on the C partition and choose the volume of measurement.  Extend it up to the limit.

    Copy the data on your external storage on the largest new C space

    Now, you'll have one almost your entire partition 1 TB.

  • I have a duel processor. C drive is nearly full E reader uses only 30%. What happens when the C drive is full?

    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!

    I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

    If you can still boot your old disk, you can use a program such as one of them:

    KeyFinder: <> http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ >
    Belarc Advisor: <> http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html >

    to read the key out of your old system.

    Also note that if you have a system OEM and the OEM installation disks, the key can be incorporated in the installation discs and can not be necessary when your reinstalling Windows.

  • How can I make a folder available only to a user (as the user folder)?

    I moved my library files and downloads folder to another partition. To do this, I did the "Users" folder I created "userA" application folder. I moved all the folders in the library in it. Everything was fine, but after the passage of 'b' user account, I found "UserB" can access all the ' wear "s newly made of the folders in the library.

    Is there a way to "wear out" folder invites a password entry window when "userB" or other users on the same computer try to access it, just like the original user folder in the original partition doesn't? (If "UserB" tries to access "userA" s original user folder in the C drive, it displays a password entry window asked to type ' wear "s login password.)

    Thank you!

    JP-

    You can change your authorization file to allow only the folder owner read the files.  If your door-inherited certain permissions from its parent, you can open the advanced permissions dialog box to remove the legacy. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-permissions#1TC=windows-7 for more details.

    Note there is no defense against the directors. For example at the password prompt, if the user enters an identifier of the administrator, the authorization of your file could be modified to allow access.  Administrators have full control over the system.

    Migration Manager does not work to move a user to a new iMac. We can slide on the user a little at a time, but how do you make the user visible on the disk library I target disk mode? (The old laptop will start is no longer)

    Open your home folder on this drive, choose go to folder from the Finder menu and provide the library as the path.

  • Move the Users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64

    I want to move my full users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64-bit.

    I found these instructions to do with Windows 7 and confirm that they work very well on a Windows 7 computer I set up yesterday.
    ROBOCOPY, RMDIR, MKLINK programs all exist in Vista and have all the command line switches such as specified in section of Windows 7.
    I want to use junction points as described in the article, rather than messing around with search-and-replace in registry. The use of junction points is cleaner and easier to reverse if I ever need to move the Users back folder to its original location.
    These same instructions for Windows 7 works with Vista 64 bit to move my users folder to a different hard disk or partition?

    Well, I couldn't wait any longer for a response.

    So I gave him a test and Windows 7 instructions work perfectly with Vista 64 - bit word. Hope it will be useful to someone else.
  • Drive Windows Media (.wmv file) stored in the Temp folder

    When I download a wmv file, I gives me the opportunity to open the file with Windows Media Player or save the file.  Lately, I've been open files in the player, assuming that, once they play, they are stored in my 'Temp' folder and empty when I delete the folder.  I was also unpin the link in the drop down WMP.  So it was quite a surprise when my hard drive available space began to decline at an alarming rate. When I went to my folder 'Users', it was 43GB and the single folder with any real content was music with 17 GB file. Do a search for wmv files have no results, so I can only assume that there are 26 GB of 'Phantom' wmv files take place, but without any specific place in the folder "users". Given that the "Users" folder is recreated at startup, I deleted all the content, the following prompts to keep files essential and lean record for its actual content to 17.5 GB.  Now I just save the file, manage downloads and delete the files when they are needed.  Is this standard protocol used for the Media Player or is it possible to change the settings of the player?  Thanks for the help.

    First of all - the C:\Users folder should not be deleted like this - several functions of the operating system back up here and you will cause a corruption of just trying to delete it all like that.

    Second - temporary storage of videos open depends on what browser you use. If you are using Internet Explorer, they are stored under C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

    Chrome stores somewhere else.

    To safely clean the files, use the built-in cleaning system program.  Press Windows + R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK to start the cleaning Manager.

    IM using a Samsung Galaxy S. The problem was the internal sd card, which has been used by some data that belong to an application already deleted. That's why the smartphone was told there is still some free space. I formatted my sd card. Now, everything works fine.

    You cannot do one of these yourself. Click here and ask the staff of the iTunes Store for the balance on the card. they will do only that if none of it has been spent. Once done, stop using this account.
