My computer is running out of hard drive space

So I got a message in the Photos saying that it optimize the photos stored on my computer and let the full resolution of those in the cloud.

But my computer is still only 3 GB of free hard drive so it runs slowly.  How to make Photos to optimize better so that I have more like 10 GB of free hard drive?

Thank you

Optimal use of this computer could be a problem with only 3 GB left.3GB is there anything that will adjust upward for the swap disk cache. Even 10 GB on a hard drive to boot will really push it and it is not realistic to expect a computer to perform optimally with 10 GB of space. HD is used by the computer for permanent and temporary files and space can fill up very quickly.

Delete some files on your hard drive or put your images on an external drive.

Optimization of images with either change the format or quality. If you ok with losing than to convert them, otherwise you get a cheap external. A 1 TB USB 3 external drive can go less than 75 $us and could the investments needed at this stage.

    There must be some misunderstandings about the concept works of LR.

    Lightroom does not duplicate. Of course, you can remove photos that you exported, because you can always recreate.

    However, you should never remove the original imported into Lightroom - as suggested by dj, move them.

    Ah! -in this case, it is not necessary.

    I see from my records that a similar case has been solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the update WAT - KB971033

    Open the Windows Update - click the link view updates installed on the left of the page

    in the list, find the WAT update KB971033, and then uninstall it.

    Then restart and reinstall the update from here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033

    redemarrer restart again, then try to change your product key to the one on the sticker - what is happening this time?

  • 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?

    Hi Wally, the hard disk OS X and all of your files. Get a case for your reader, and it backs up. Try OWC

    Always keep your Mac backed up on an external drive with Time Machine or utility of cloning like SuperDuperor double clone.

    Try eBay for the adapter.

  • 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.

  • 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,
    Solvemachine

    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.
