My C/WINDOWS folder is 50 GB size. I can remove him because he will take my place on the Local disk.

Sandrine

Certainly not. If you have managed to remove it, your computer would not work.

Try to use cleaning disc instead, if you try to recover from hard drive (C) space:

Also you can move any personal data on another drive.

For your C drive please tell us how full is your free drive C - x of y GB Go.

  • Why don't I have as many files under this folder...*user*/local settings/temp? The best way I can remove them? It will cause pc problems? Thank you.

    need to make space on my pc for re - org hard disk and a user folder size is 14.3 GB

    I guess that this computer has never been maintained. Of course, you must delete the files in the Temp directory. You can use CCleaner to clean up, but cannot use cleaning tools. Do not use Registry tools.

  • Windows 8 filehistory always goes to the local disk

    I had my windows configuration 8 SL 64 bit to instant filehistory \\myrouter\mydisk\filehistory

    but when run the backup always goes on local drive instead

    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory

    and the filehistory in the just network drive left blank

    What is the problem?

    Hi AmeerRadhi,

    This problem may occur if the history file drive has been disconnected for too long. To continue registration of copies of your files, you will need to reconnect to your history file drive and reselect your network. You can start a backup manually, or wait for the next scheduled backup.

    To manually start a backup

     

    1. Open history file by hitting swipe in the edge right of the screen, tap Find (or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then clicking search), enter the parameters of the file history in the area of research and then by typing or clicking on the file history settings.
    2. Press or click back until now.

    You can consult the help article and check if it helps:

  • Windows XP - key product badly entered in list, can I change because it will not validate?

    I recently had to wipe my machine XP.

Can I change for the other product key of my piece of paper, or what I have to reinstall again!

    Hi TrivenaMcCarlie,

    You should not use the same product key that you used during the installation process to activate Windows.

    After the installation is complete, you need to activate the copy of Windows and you will not receive any Windows Update unless the copy of Windows is enabled.

  • 'windows media center' on Vista32 and Vista64 can't see movies on 'disc of Windows 7 "

    I have 2 Windows 7 machines.   We have a lot of movies (VOB files) 3 TB drive.   The other Windows 7 machine can play movies very well since Windows Media Center.  But I have 2 other machines (a Vista 32-bit and a 64-bit Vista).  The two Vista machines can see through Explorer, but in Windows Media Center movie files, nor machine can find movies when I try to add them to the library.

    I use to have movies on discs smaller on Vista32 bit machine and all 4 machines could play movies very well.

    Does anyone know of issues where WMC on Vista is not able to see movies on Windows 7 machines?     Thanks in advance.

  • It's going to be an update for Windows Vista (home premium 32 bit is what I'm running) which will trigger the max score until Windows 7 is going to?

    I have these sides:

    CPU - 4.7

    RAM - 4.8

    Graphics - 5.9

    G. graphics - 5.9

    Disk hard - 5.7

    What I want is to be able to tell how my graphics card is really because it's maxed out at 5.9. I know that if I was running 7 it would be 6. _ or maybe even 7. _.  So is there an update I can download for vista which will allow my ratings reach the coast on windows 7?

    Not - or at least not likely (but the drivers, firmware or software updates regular for the device using Vista may helo).  The ratings are based on this device using the disks appropriate for your version of Vista device and it.  How it works in Windows 7 (if it works in Windows 7) is from THESE drivers and the operating system (and other components on this computer).  Even if you can and did move to Windows 7, there is no guarantee that you would get all the numbers even better less significantly better numbers - although it is certainly possible amd I know that it has been the case for others who have updated.

    The best place to check the updates of device driveer (or firmware or software related, if applicable) is either the manufacturer of the computer if it came with the computer or the manufacturer of the device.  Their websites should have the links and downloads and they will be the most recent and the best available (better that what you could get through Microsoft - in fact, I suggest strongly you never use the drivers supplied by Microsoft and always bring manufacturers directly. What is the most recent will be available to give you the best possible results (before the upgrade of the unit such as adding more RAM tp the video card if your system and it can accept more RAM).

    You cannot use Windows 7 device on a Vista machine drivers.  Not only which won't work (if it allows even the facility) and will not improve ratings but that could seriously damage your system or device.  Please take my word on it and don't even consider that it.

    Just check out the manufacturers for updates of device (drivers, firmware and/or software) and keep your system up-to-date with the latest available, and that's the best you can do.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to access the "Local Settings" folder in Vista.

    Have an Adware bug stuck to the folder "Temporay Internet" McAfee can't remove it completely. In XP, you could access the local settings folder to manually delete the Temp and Temporary Internet files. I liked to do this because you have been assured that all deleted. But in Vista, all I get is access denied! And this applies to other as well protected system files. Is there a way to change the security settings for this folder?

    Local Settings is a junction point : a hidden and protected operating system file that is not accessible to the user.  He points to the folder accessible by the user
