• Satellite A215-S7422: free space on the HARD disk decreases every day

  Hello everyone,

  Hi I'm alex.

  I've owned a computer laptop "SATELLITE A215-S7422.
  I got 147 GB of my hard disk drive memory, I got 119 free space but as I noticed it is constantly down even if I do not download anything.

  When I saw this first I try to get it back to the factory setting and I had 128 GB of free space, and every day it is significantly down.

  Everything I do is look at you tube.

  Can someone explain to me what is happening and what I can do about it...

  It would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  There is a simple explanation why HARD disk space decreases each time while watching Youtube videos
  The video stream is always stored on the HARD drive in the internet files folder and in time.

  So from time to time, it would be desirable to remove these files and to clean the folder of files over time.
  I use the CCLeaner. It is free software and can be downloaded from different pages. Google simply
  This program is very useful. It cleans the HARD drive and removes the garbage all registry.

• User folder devours free space HDD

  I have a 64 GB SSD, which slows the decline of available hard disk space.  I only use about 1/2 the ability, but I am now at 3 GB of space left.  I noticed this a few weeks ago, but the available space was far greater then.  If the problem has progressed to this point run out of free space.

  Using the Windows Explorer file manager, I find that my folder 'User' takes now 33.3 GB of space. The user has two folders (user_me and public). Are most of these Go to user_me.  But the data files in this folder are not occupying about 2 GB.

  The amount of user data should I expect to see being taken up by Windows, and I can solve this to something more practical?

  Thank you

  cCleaner?  No thanks.  I stick with Windows Disk Cleanup.

  Well, my problem was solved by removing the "temporary Internet files" in in IE8 (using the general tab of the Internet Tools-Options menu).

  I also found in IE8, Internet Options, Advanced tab, a configuration affecting empty folder "temporary Internet files" when the browser is closed.  Allowing that should keep the record more permanently growing more later too.

• Satellite C660-1PH - poster HDD free space

  Hello

  I ve noticed the last days 'windows C: partition' my drive shows different free space without any download/install

  For example, I got 104 GB free, then the next day he showed 100 GB free and then suddenly he returned 104GB. It happened with different values of another day, he just changed unexpectedly.

  This could be the cause? The hard drive is faulty?

• How to free space on the hard drive?

  Hello, in my "On Mac" section, it says I 233 MB of space on my 121 GB of Flash storage. Previously, I thought it was video files, but it was buggy mac section. I refreshed, hoping he would show me how much space I had left, but he stayed the same. That is the problem. I use my macbook for College written work and - maximum - work on Adobe Creative Suite. When I work on these I use a separate USB key due to the size of the files.

  The only files I have actively created/downloaded on my macbook are the files in the files of my 'Documents', 'Pictures' and 'Applications '. When I use "Get Info" on each, I see that my photo folder is great, My Documents folder is large 1.17 GB and my Applications folder is large 14,68 GB 889,9 MB. These are the only files that I use and backup the files needed for my Macbook running and working properly, the only files I want to keep.

  My question is, basically, if there is a way to lose all the files on my hard drive that are not necessary to keep. I'm not too good when it comes to computers, so I don't want to not just randomly start deleting things. Just to get these road, my garbage can is completely empty and I have nothing in my downloads folder. I have also no large files to film and, when I searched my Macintosh HD for files larger than 500 MB, there is no evidence, so I guess that this is caused by a large amount of small files (I tried to restrict research naturally but then come files that I wasn't sure of what they have done and therefore have not removed the still). If it helps, my about Mac filed 100,64 GB of my free space as 'other '. But I know that is not how much space was taken when I got the Macbook earlier this year and it should not be the size of the files that comes with it by default. There is also a way to restore all the files on my macbook at their stage of default, that I would also be interested, especially if there is a way to do it without rid of files I already have.

  I guess that's a very basic question, can someone help out me?

  1. never remove all the files that you do not understand the purpose. If you do, it's like opening the hood of your car and take bits out of the engine ebcause you think they are not necessary.

  2. it seems more likely that you must rebuild your Spotlight index.

• Can I use Partition 'free space '?

  I was showing a couple of PDFs in preview during execution of Safari - with maybe 5 or 6 tabs open - listen to Spotify when I got this message:

  (at the time wherever I took the screenshot I had stopped already Safari and Spotify):

  

  I was very surprised to see because when I formatted my 1 TB SSD I made to allocate approximately 15 - 20% 'Space' to be free, because I have read several times that you should never completely fill to the top of your player. Then, I checked my storage:

  

  I found it very odd that I'd only 78GB left because I knew I had at least 130 GB of free, I keep an eye close enough on my storage space.  I restarted the computer and I checked my storage once again, and magically it appeared as it should:

  

  As you can see, the total disk space is 819,36 GB. The rest of the 1 TB is the Partition of 'Free space', I created when I formatted the disk.  When I've been formatting, I noticed the option to format as 'Free space', so I assumed it was the opportunity for anyone who took the advice that you should always allocate space of 15 to 20%.  I don't know if the warning mentioned previously is related to this, but whatever it is, I had the bad idea to create literally score "Free space" while trying to keep my healthy HDD by overloading her not?  Should I just hang out my main partition in disk utility to use the 'free space' now and just keep an eye on how I use?

  Yes, you did. You must leave this amount of free space on the boot instead of leaving no partition allocated.

• Can not defragment lecteurC - needs 15% free space. What else can I remove or delete?

  I can't defragment my disk hard because I need 15% free space and have only 12%.  It is a Dell Dimension 2300, aged about 10 years.  I run Disk Cleanup and delete everything I can think and moved large files on an external hard drive. When I go into Add/Remove Programs, I see things that take a lot of space, but I don't know what I can delete.  Can I remove old Service Pack updates or together should they stay?  What can I do else? Help!

  Your report raises a number of problems. You will need to apply to each of them in turn.

  You have three user accounts created. Andrealynn, the Animal and JoJo. This means that when run you disk cleanup you must login as each user in turn and run Disk Cleanup to remove unwanted files. I have already mentioned cCleaner. This will clean all at once.

  Outlook Express is another source of wasted space.

  You must empty the deleted items folder. Right click on the deleted items folder, and then select "empty folder deleted items.

  Records of your Inbox and sent items should be used to store messages for a short period. Large system files are prone to corruption, and then you lose messages. It is much safer to keep themessages in a created Local user folder.

  A parameter that might be useless by default is that for temporary internet

• Should we leave how much free space on the C drive before affecting the performance and speed?

  Hello!

  Hard drive of my new PC (C) is 1 TB (processor Samsung 7i, Windows 8.1). It doesn't have any other disk/partition. How this space is safe to use to store large files (videos, esp., stored in the native video library file) without harming the performance and speed?

  And if I create another partition (D) and just use it for storage, it will make much difference compared to the above?

  Thank you!

  Planning your Partitions

  The Question

  Partitions, how much should I have on my hard drive, what do I use
  each of them for, and what size should each one be?

  It s a common question, but unfortunately this doesn t have a
  only simple, just answer to all the world. A lot of people will respond with
  the way they do, but their response isn't necessarily best for the
  person seeking (in many cases it isn't right even for the person)
  response).

  Terminology

  First, let's rethinking the terminology. Some people ask "should I".
  partition my drive? That s the wrong question, because the
  the terminology is a little strange. Some people think that the word
  "partition" means divide the drive into two or more partitions.
  That s not correct: to partition a drive is to create one or several
  partitions on it. You must have at least one partition to use
  He who think they have an unpartitioned disk actually
  have a player with only one partition on it and it s normally
  Called C:. The choice you have is to have more than one
  partition, not that it's the partition at all.

  A bit of history

  Back before Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (also known as Windows
  95 (b) was published in 1996, all MS-DOS and Windows hard drives have been set
  using the file system FAT16 (except for very tiny to aid
  FAT12). That 16-bit only because were used for addressing, FAT16 has a
  maximum 2 GB partition size.

  More than 2 GB of hard disks were rare at the time, but if you had
  one, you must have multiple partitions to use all the available
  space. But even if your drive was not larger than 2GB, FAT16 created
  Another serious problem for many people - the size of the cluster has been
  more great if you had a larger partition. Cluster sizes increased from 512
  bytes for a partition to no greater than32Mb all the way up to 32 KB for a
  partition of 1 GB or more.

  More the cluster size, the space more is wasted on a hard drive.
  That s as space for all the files is allocated in whole clusters
  only. If you have 32 KB clusters, a 1 byte file takes 32 KB, a file, a
  greater than 32 k byte takes 64 k and so on. On average, each file
  about half of his last group waste.

  If large partitions create a lot of waste (called "soft"). With a 2 GB
  FAT16 drive in a single cluster, if you have 10,000 files, each
  lose half a cluster of 32 KB, you lose about 160 MB for relationships. This s
  back in an important part of a player that probably cost more than $400
  1996 - around $ 32.

  So what did the people? They divided their 2 GB drive in two,
  three or more logical drives. Each of these logical drives has been
  smaller the real physical disk, had smaller clusters, and
  so less waste. If, for example, she was able to keep all the partitions
  less than 512 MB, cluster size was only 8 KB, and the loss was reduced to a
  a quarter of what it would be otherwise.

  People partitioned for other reasons also, but back in the days of
  FAT16, it was the main reason to do so.

  The present

  Three things have changed radically since 1996:

  1. the FAT32 and NTFS file systems came along, allowing a larger
  partitions with smaller clusters and so much less waste. In
  with NTFS, cluster sizes are 4 K, regardless of the size of the partition.

  2 hard drives have become much larger, often more than 1 TB (1000 GB) in
  size.

  3 hard drives have become much cheaper. For example, a 500 GB drive
  can be bought today for about $50. That s 250 times the size of this
  Player 2Gb typical 1996, about one-eighth of the price.

  What these things mean together which is the reason to be old to have
  multiple partitions to avoid the considerable wastage of disk space left.
  The amount of waste is much less than it used to be and the cost of
  that waste is much less. For all practical purposes, almost nobody does
  should no longer be concerned about slack, and it should no longer be
  has examined when planning your partition structure.

  What Partitions are used for today

  There are a variety of different ways people put in place several
  scores of these days. Some of these uses are reasonable, some are
  debatable, some are downright bad. I'll discuss a number of Commons
  partition types in the following:

  1. a partition for Windows only

  Most of the people who create such a partition are because they believe
  If they never have to reinstall Windows properly, at least they
  He won t lose their data and he won t have to reinstall their applications.
  because both are safe on other partitions.

  The first of these thoughts is a false comfort and the second
  is downright bad. See the analysis of the types of partition 2 and 4
  below to find out why.

  Also note that over the years, a lot of people who find their windows
  partition that has begun to be the right size proves to be too
  small. For example, if you have such a partition for Windows and later
  upgrade to a newer version of Windows, you may find that your Windows
  partition is too small.

  2. a partition for installed programs

  This normally goes hand in hand with the partition type 1, a partition for
  just Windows. The thought that if you reinstall Windows, your
  installed application programs are safe if they are in another
  partitions is simply not true. That s because all programs installed
  (with the exception of an occasional trivial) have pointers to the inside
  Windows, in the registry and elsewhere, as well as associated files
  buried in the Windows folder. So if Windows, pointers and
  the files go with it. Given that the programs need to be reinstalled if Windows
  the fact, this reasoning to a separate partition for programs not
  work. In fact, there is almost never a good reason to separate
  Windows of the software application into separate partitions.

  3. a partition for the pagefile.

  Some people think mistakenly that the pagefile on another
  score will improve performance. It is also false; It doesn t
  help and often I hurt, performance, because it increases the movement of the head
  to get back to the page to another file frequently used
  data on the disk. For best performance, the paging file should normally
  be on the most widely used score of less used physical player. For
  almost everyone with a single physical disk than the same drive s
  Windows is on C:.

  4. a partition for backup for other partitions.

  Some people make a separate partition to store backups of their other
  or partitions. People who rely on a "backup" are a joke
  themselves. It is only very slightly better than no backup at all.
  because it leaves you likely to be simultaneously the original losses
  and backup for many of the most common dangers: the head crashes and other
  types of drive, serious glitches to power failure, near lightning
  strikes, virus attack, even stolen computer.  In my opinion,.
  secure backup must be on a media removable and not stored in the
  computer.

  5. a partition for data files

  Above, when I discussed separate Windows on a clean partition,
  I pointed out that separate data from Windows is a false comfort if
  He of done with the idea that data will be safe if Windows ever
  must be reinstalled. I call it a false comfort that's because
  I'm afraid many people will rely on this separation, think that their
  data are safe there and so do not take measures to
  Back it up. In truth the data is not safe there. Having to reinstall
  Windows is just one of the dangers to someone a s hard disk and not
  probably even one. This kind of "backup" falls into the same
  category, as a backup to other partitions partition; It lets you
  sensitive to the simultaneous loss of the original and the backup on many of
  the most common dangers that affect the entire physical disk, not
  just the particular partition. Security comes from a solid backup
  diet, not how partition you.

  However, for some people, it may be a good idea to separate Windows and
  programs on the one hand of the data on the other, putting each of the
  two types into separate partitions. I think that most people
  partitioning scheme must be based on their backup system and backup
  plans are generally of two types: whole hard disk imaging
  or data only backup. If you back up data, backup is
  usually facilitated by the presence of a separate with data only partition;
  to save just the score easily, without having to
  collect pieces from here and elsewhere. However, for
  those who backup by creating an image of the entire disk, there is
  usually little, if any, benefit the separation of data in a partition of
  its own.

  Furthermore, in all honesty, I must point out that there are many
  very respected people who recommend a separate partition for Windows,
  Whatever your backup plan.  Their arguments haven t convinced
  me, but there are clearly two views different here.

  6. a partition to image files

  Some people like to deal with the images and videos as something separate
  other data files and create a separate partition for them. To my
  the spirit, an image is simply another type of data and there is no
  the advantage in doing so.

  7. a partition for music files.

  The comments above related to the image files also apply to music
  files. They are just another type of data and must be dealt with the
  just like the other data.

  8. a partition for a second operating system to dual-boot to.

  For those who manage several operating systems (Windows Vista, Windows
  XP, Windows 98, Linux, etc.), a separate partition for each operating
  system is essential. The problems here are beyond the scope of this
  discussion, but simply to note that I have no objection to s
  all these partitions

  Performance

  Some people have several partitions because they believe that it
  somehow improves performance. That s not correct. The effect is
  probably low on modern computers with modern hard disks, but if
  whatever it is, the opposite is true: more music mean poorer
  performance. That's because normally no partition is full and it
  so are gaps between them. It takes time for the drive s
  read/write heads to cross these gaps. Close all files
  are, faster access to them will be.

  Organization

  I think a lot of people overpartition because they use scores as a
  organizational structure. They have a keen sense of order and you want to
  to separate the apples from the oranges on their readers.

  Yes, separating the different types of files on partitions is a
  technical organization, but then is to separate different types of
  files in folders. The difference is that the walls are static and
  fixed in size, while the files are dynamic, changing size automatically
  as needed to meet your changing needs. This usually done records
  a much better way to organize, in my opinion.

  Certainly, partitions can be resized when necessary, but except with the latter
  versions of Windows, which requires a third-party software (the and the
  possibility to do so in Windows is primitive compared to the third-party
  solutions). These third party software normally costs money and not
  any point and how stable it is, affects the entire disk.
  with the risk of losing everything. Plan your partitions in
  first place and repartitioning, none will be necessary.  The need
  to repartition usually occurs as a result of overpartitioning in
  the first place.

  What often happens when people organize with partitions instead
  records are that they make a miscalculation of how much room they need on each
  This partition, and then when they run out of space on the partition
  When a file is logically, while having plenty of space
  on the other hand, they simply saving the file in the score of "poor".
  Paradoxically, therefore, results in this kind of score structure
  less organization rather than more.

  So how should I partition my drive

  If you read what came before, my findings will not come as a
  surprise:

  1. If your backup set is the image of the entire disk, have just one
  single (usually c partition :));

  2. If you backups just data, have two partitions one for Windows and
  application programs installed (usually c :)), the other for data
  (normally D :).)

  With the exception of multiple operating systems, it is rarely
  any advantage to have more than two partitions.
