My drive is almost full, how can I empty it

hard disk almost full how can I empty it

Please download the program TreeSizeFree [1] and run it. It shows you which folders use the entire space.

You are able to locate the folder that uses less space? Now, open the folders and look if you need data. If this is not the case, delete them.

  • My 500 g external drive is almost full, how do I continue with a new drive

    Hi, I started using lightroom 6 months ago and now my 500 g external drive is almost full.

    How can I continue using a new disc? Should I create a catalog by using exactly the same name or drag the catalogue old through without the actual RAW photos?

    Eirephoto wrote:

    ...

    Maybe 6 months work and 38 000 of Canon 1 d & 5ds raw photos are too much to have 1 catalog?

    I work only with 1 catalog, I should create new catalogs more often?

    No, I know users who have photos of 250,000 in a catalog and run them properly. Optimize the catalogue allows from time to time.

    Hello PhilipTanams,

    You will not be able to move the files to the C: drive on another drive Windows. All Windows files must be in the C: drive.

    Method 1:

    If you have personal files or data, you can move these files to another drive that increases the size of the C: drive by adding
    Method 2:

    If you have any other partition which has an empty space in it, you can extend the C: drive by adding the empty spaces to the C: drive.

    See the links to find out how to extend the partition of drive.

    Is this a computer supplied by the manufacturer with Windows
    pre-installed?
     
    If so, D: is probably a recovery disk partition. This is where
    to allow you to reinstall Windows if it is necessary. It comes
    full (or almost full) and you should be sure never to write anything
    for her, or remove what either of him.

  • My Hard disk drive (C) is full and can not save on my local drive (D)... Help!

    I can't save anything else on my computer and I feel as if I had barely whether registered here initially. My (C) drive is almost full and my local disk drive (D) has so much space to this topic, but I don't know how to do as my default player. I tried following the suggestions of the people online, but nothing helped. Can anyone help?

    The first thing to do is run the disk cleanup utility. Instructions here.

    Then, try to move some files and folders. There are a few different folders, you can move from the C drive to the D drive. So let me suggest you only start moving your files, documents, music, photos and video from C to d. here are the instructions. You need to do one at a time. To find them, in Solution Explorer, expand the C drive, find your name under users and all your personal files are there.

    After these two things, tell me how much space you have on C.

  • My 'C' drive is almost full.

    My 'C' drive is almost full. He now has a red line. I have not installed new programs recent and cleaned the disc and defraged. Any suggestions please.

    Hello

    FYI, Windows is installed, if a previous installation is detected, Windows saves the previous version installed in a folder called "Windows.old". If the people who fixed your computer reinstalled Windows more than once, multiple copies of the installed operating system are residing on your drive. Windows does this, then you can recover personal files if you need however, eat as a space of hard drive... This maybe whence your 91 GB.

    You delete Windows.old files through disk cleanup. As part of this process, it will ask you if you want to get rid of the previous installations of Windows; say 'yes', this is the only way to get rid of these files. I suggest to re-launch disk cleanup, this time looking for previous versions that Windows can get rid of. I would say as you try TreeSize and see what he gets for totals of disc.

    Finally, it is possible that the Windows Disk Manager is at fault. I had the experience where WDM gave me a total size of the road which was greater than the sum of my scores. I literally had to create a few "unallocated space" in order for the numbers to add up correctly. I try the first two things and see what the total size of the disk is right there, then see if the sum of your records is equal or not is equal to the total (declared) size of the drive.

    Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

    My basket is empty but I have a prompt telling me that my drive is almost full. I'll remove the trash, as requested by empty... But says 0 bytes used in the trash... nothing to delete. My space is almost full. What can I do?

    It's nothing to do with the trash.

    You have a message of low disk space because you have saved something to the partition of HP recovery/tools.

    Read this information from HP about your error message and if the information does not help, you should contact HP directly.

  • How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

    How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
    Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

    How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

    Any correction, automated for this?

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

    Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

  • How can I empty trash 'Genius '?

    10.7.5, old 32-bit Macbook Pro OSX.

    The Genius bar went yesterday to resolve a problem.  During which, the genius deleted all my music, photos and movies by being connected with a disc of Triage and the magic Apple Genius ID.  He stopped at the command "Empty trash" because he took long (approx. 300 GB of data).  Now, my drive is missing that much space.

    Any ideas how can I empty the Recycle Bin or restore these files?  (Short to return to the Apple store?)

    Thanks in advance...

    You have a backup, if so what kind? It may be interesting to restore if you have a recent backup. Otherwise I would like to backup now if you have a spare drive to use-

    even in this State. At least you have a copy if it fails to restore the Recycle Bin.

    Have what problem you tried to bring to the store? I have to wonder if start over again with a fresh install is a better option?

    It is possible to "put the files"...

    Select an item in the Recycle Bin, right click (or use ctrl + click). In the menu that appears, select 'Put back'. It may not be an option (I don't remember which version added this feature, I think that it was 10.6).

    It is available "back" may not restore all the files and some files may already have been recreated in the old location (existing preferences for example).

    I fear this is can be a messy situation to fix.

    It might be easier to restore files from a different user account, where the need for a backup. If you don't know consider the Apple store again for help, but I guess that this situation is a bit difficult for you.

    See if others here have a better idea too, it is better not to act too quickly in situations like this, unless you have copies of the data on another.
