My (C) hard drive space becomes low. What can I do?

Hello

My Windows Update is set to the recommended level. (C) hard drive space becomes low and other drives (E, F, G) have enough space. What happens if the C drive space comes to level down while Windows Update is taking place. The minimum amount of space have stand to drive C? How to manage the process?

Your cooperation will be appreciated.

Thanks & Rgds,

You really need to think about 15%, a minimum of free space on the disk.

Your 1st task is to try to identify the cause of the lack of space. Things like music, photos and especially video may gradually creep on you.

TreeSize here is quite useful to work where space is gone.

Libraries can be moved. Expand 1st level of etiquette in the left pane to display the top folder and right-click. The location of the tab, you can change the location of one of the empty discs and it will copy all files when you click on move. If you have more than one user, it is best to create a record of the user for each group and then do it for each of them. Don't forget to check the new location is included in all of the backups.

Also use disk cleanup too. Open the computer, right click on the C drive, and then click Properties. Click Disk Cleanup. For more options in the result, click on the option of system files and see what you can get rid of.

  • I lose a hard drive space every day on my Windows 7 computer

    My computer is barely a month.  I only put on about 6 programs, all with small footprints.  I transferred to about 70 GB of files.  I know that the system uses the memory out of the box, but even with all that taken into account, that I can't take into account more than 40 GB of space and the amount increases every day.

    I was check and each day I lose a few GB of hard drive space.  Where's he going?  There is much info on Vista and some of its features that uses a hard disk space, I guess than some that apply to Windows 7.  But seriously, for example I lost 2GB between yesterday and today, and I have absolutely nothing to the computer.

    Clean temporary files and use Disk Cleanup to reclaim space.  But it is usually minimal and it does not take into account what I lose.  I have the system to restore all of the space to a fairly small percentage.  In summary, I think I have everything correct in order to minimize the use of hard drive, but the space is to be consumed at an alarming rate.  No virus, MSE is on the system and did not find a thing.

    Where the hell the space continues?  I am glad that I have a large hard drive, so there is move the room, but it's ridiculous to have disk space available endangered on its own.  I don't know that it's associated BONE.  Thoughts?

  • Bridge takes a lot of hard drive space

    Hello world

    IM new to this forum and new also for Photoshop CS6 and everything that surounds it.

    I had a small question which may be simple to you guys but its been annoys me a bit

    I work with bridge this morning and import pictures in it. Then I looked at my hard drive space and he was down about 5 GB. I do not change or do anything special, just imported photos so it would be easier when I start using PS CS6. Is it normal when I import images that it takes up little space on my hard drive. I thought that the bridge was used only to create a link between my photo file and Psalm I then tried to remove the images in Bridge to see if space would come back available, but it didn't. Anyone? Please help me to answer my questions?

    Thank you

    PS: I have 164 GB of free space on my hard drive, if it helps. Thanks again

    Black

    What you see is normal.  Once you import pictures Bridge generates a cache file, then you can disply a thumbnail.  Delete the picture will still retain the thumbnail, which is the function of compact cache.

    The options you choose depend on the size of the cache.   Embedded thumbnails takes less space.  If you check generate and save previews of 100% that will really increase the size of the cache folder.

    See this thread for more information on the cache.  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1094509?TSTART=0

  • Many disappear from the hard drive space

    Hello

    Recently I factory reset my computer and proceeded to put some of my old files save them on the computer. Some of the files were games, but I realized that I couldn't play without resettlement of their records. I was unable to uninstall properly an any of them, so I just deleted files - but I noticed after I had deleted the files that I had lost more (about 30-40 GB worth) hard disk space

    When I went to reinstall these games of their records, I found that they were taking about three times as much space as they said they would be (for example, it said it would take up to about 3.5 GB of space, but it ended up taking 11 concerts of my DD)

    Since then, I've lost an another 30 concerts without doing anything.

    Is there a reason for this? I scanned my computer for any sort of malware with two different anti virus systems, and they all come in white. I have two firewalls running as well, so I highly doubt that it is malware.

    I managed to solve the problem.

    System Restore has been fixed to raise as much as 50% of my hard drive space. I have since lowered to a more reasonable amount and have obtained a large part of the rear of space SD, and I at least know where the rest. Thank you very much for the help.

  • I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space, but I find no windows.old file?

    I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?

    The first installation failed because I had a copy of counterfeit Windows 7.

    I bought another copy and installed. Then, I got a horrible virus/worm that disabled all .exe files and the fix was just beyond me!

    I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.

    I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.

    I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)

    Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.

    Can someone help?

    Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

    Click Start

    Right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Click on advanced system settings

    Click on the System Protection

    Click on configure

    Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.

    In addition, the amount of RAM you have installed, it will take more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

  • Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Is there a reason to save the two versions?  The NAVE seems to have no further use other than too much hard drive space.

    Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Why save versions when the DNG is the original and the NAVE seems to just take remote hard drive space?

    I see no reason to keep them, they take a lot of space, one of the reasons to convert to DNG is that they are almost 20% smaller than the ships.

    But it is of course your choice...

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the
    external media player.

    If the hard drive has minimal corruption in localized areas, you can reinstall Windows.  You will need to reformat the hard drive, however.  When you get to step in the installation process where it formats the hard drive, do not choose "quick" format  On the contrary, let him do a full format.

  • Re: Hard drive space! have no idea what im doing! Help...

    Hi, Im new to the forum and did not have any idea of technical stuff like hard disk space!

    I use my laptop for the Web, store pictures, Email... That's about it!
    My husband use it for ITUNES...

    Am I correct in that the more it is downloads the more space it uses? Because there is no idea of computers and ive told him to buy his own laptop as im finding installed programs that Apple has offered him Safari being a! Who ive told him we don't need!

    How can I transfer to my E Hardrive? Can I copy all my photo files and transfer via, then remove it from my C?

    Should I get up ITunes together in this hardrive?

    Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreicated, I have no idea how ITUNES works with the computer, I know the basics of what it is and, but uf I had asked to use I don't know the first thing!

    Thank you

    Hello

    Yes, more it downloads less rhythm is available on the hard disk. You can transfer all your employees necessary to another partition, a usb flash drive, burn disc copy and then remove the C drive.
