My C drive is running out of space.
From: Pradeep
As described in the topic, I am faced with a c drive running on space issues. Here are the details associated with the same thing:
OS: Windows Vista editions Home Premium
SP: Service Pack 1 installed
Total hard disk capacity: 100 GB
C drive: 20 GB
D drive: 80 GB
I thought it might be because the program folder of files that I am faced with the question, but found that its size is 2.43 GB. All other folders are lower but windows folder takes the maximum share i.e. 14FR. All the programs I have installed in the PC, I've taken enough care to specify their D drive installation path. Still, I am facing this problem.
Player C has about 60 GB of free space. Is there a tool to help that i could delete the partition so that I can get rid of this problem. Other suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks in advance.

> Use a third, for example, Partition Magic to combine what was D to > C, which eliminates the partition D.
If he does just that, all of its programs that are installed on D: won't work, because they will be on C: and Windows expects to find them on D:
Should also either try one of the programs to seek and try to change all the many references from D: to C:, or to uninstall, then reinstall the programs.
My experience with programs that find and change the references was less satisfactory, and I do not recommend them. The best way to do is to uninstall and reinstall.
By far, his best course of action at this stage, would be to use a third party program to enlarge small D: and C:. However, before using such a program, and taking such a Bond - either your way or mine - it should first be sure it has a current backup of what it is, that it cannot afford to lose. Although there is no reason to expect a problem, things * can * fool you.
Furthermore, Pradeep should note that programs should normally be installed on the same partition as \Windows. Although some people install them on a different partition because they think they are protected in the it and will not be lost if Windows never has to be reinstalled, it is * not * correct. If Windows is reinstalled, all the many references to the program it contains is lost. Programs (all except for an occasional small) must be reinstalled too.

How to move the C drive to the D drive or combine them? I have only 2.39 free space on C, used 13.6. D drive has 222 mb used and 95.5 free. I have not all the applications installed on the D drive. I was not able to uninstall applications that have been pre-installed by Sony that I don't use.
Hello
I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.
a. make sure that you back up partition D want to be absorbed into the C (startup disk) partition. Data d should be deleted.
b. go to the command line (start > programs > Accessories > command line) and type DISKPART
c. on the fast line (DISKPART >), type:
-LIST DISK
-SELECT DISK [enter disk number]
-PARTITION LIST
-SELECT PARTITION 2 (or the number of partition needs to be absorbed)
-DELETE PARTITION (This reformatted the partition to be absorbed, so make sure you have a copy of your files elsewhere)d. now, to extend the C: partition
-LIST OF VOLUME
-SELECT VOLUME [enter the number of the volume assigned to your C drive]
-EXTEND (this will be resize partition #1 for all unallocated hard disk space)e. Type EXIT to exit DISKPART

Windows 7 pagefile when my c: drive runs out of space
I've seen this discussed many times in various places, but the answer are misleading, especially in the non-Microsoft forums
As mentioned, my Win7 system drive is running out of hard drive space, but I have a spare bedroom in the second partition of drive. Note: This notebook has a single hard drive, so the second partition is also part of the same hard drive. Please, do not discuss clean my drive "c:" here. I did everything I could to delete (or move) the unwanted programs, move my e-mail storage location, reassign location for any other large files such backup itune Apple etc.
Suppose I want to do re-partitioning, here are the questions:
(1) 2 files of pages in 'C: drive' and the second in the other partition, will be any good?
I ask this question because there are different answers here and there a.
(2) if having 2 partitions is good it's a question of adding two sizes together to make sure that it is comparable to the recommeded size by Windows?
Say that my laptop has 2 GB of RAM. The size recommended by Windows is 3009 MB (1.5 times)
I intend to address my original size / max in C: 2048/2048. If the answer is Yes, this means I must assign 1024/1024 as the initial/max size in the second partition.
(3) assumed that it works by adding up the sizes.
I feel better using the diagram above (2048 + 1024) compared to the use of (1024 + 2048, 1024 k in 2048. primary, secondary partition).
Does it really give some differences?
Thanks for the time.

1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button picture of the Start button, tap all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

I want my pictures to download on my iCloud but I don't want all my previous photos on my phone because there are just a lot of space and I have run out of space. Can I disable the download of photo sharing but allow for photo streams to make this or how can I make this happen? I just want to still my photos go to my Mac and iCloud so I can have my photos without danger...
Thank you
N °
iCloud is a synchronization service, NOT off of storage of the unit.
You could cut the phone out of sync from your library. Just move them to your Mac and synchronize your Mac with iCloud. Now, you'll have plenty of space on your phone, but no pictures.
From your Mac, you can then make an album with photos that you want to access from your phone. This will require ongoing work, but will keep your clear phone in most of the time.

How can I remove my photos from my iPhone while keeping in iCloud? because I'm running out of space on my iPhone.
I want to keep all my photos in iCloud. I want to remove some of them from my iPhone 4 (IOS 8) in order to free up space on my iPhone. How can I do this? Thanks for help.
With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)
Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

Running out of space on my MacBook!
I recently started running out of room on my macbook pro, so I noticed that about 100 g of memory re absorbed by "others". I was wondering if there was a way to delete some to make room. Thank you!
Here is the definition of the OTHER:
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202867
Download the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. Transfer to an external HARD disk or remove files, that you no longer want on your MBP.
Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated for the new data.
According to your MBP model, you may be able to install the storage up to 2 TB of capacity that could alleviate your storage problem.
Ciao.
