out of disk space and don't know why

My drive c says it's 50.6 GB but I only 2.66 GB free. I deleted all my pictures and music, etc. but it makes virtually no difference. I ran the disk clean etc and also run microsoft fix it solution. I don't know where my space has disappeared. Can someone help me please?

Possible causes

  1. The very lower partition size.
  2. The quarantine antivirus files.
  3. My documents folder consumes more space.
  4. All e-mail client store file takes more space.
  5. Incorrect virtual memory settings.
  6. Can be put into hibernation enabled.
  7. Files and temporary files.
  8. Any system connects or export files.
  9. Huge Application programs.

Check the size of the Pchealth folder. Under Pchealth folder shows 2 files named QHEADLES and QSIGNOFF. Delete the files if it consumes more space.

    Hi all, I need to understand why my VMs will always grow so large they finally running out of disk space, and then I can't resize them... see the screenshots below:

    So all my virtual machines are that looks like it's finally the 5 GB goes down to zero, cannot update things like Dropbox and all sorts of other things start to break. I then, go here and try to expand, but I get this error on machines to young readers:

    Screen Shot 2014-08-26 at 12.18.02 AM.png

    I think I need at least as much GBs on the system, as is the virtual machine? Done my MBA and smaller machines, is not possible. But when I move the virtual machine to a bigger machine like my iMac, with a big disc of TB, I can do the resizing. Is it the way it is supposed to work? Perhaps, I do not have this right...

    thx for all the advice!

    Yep, that's the way it is supposed to work.  The close, move it to the iMac, expand drive, then arrest him and bring him back.  Make sure you choose "move" not "copy" when migrating to avoid triggering the activation of windows.

    Regarding what is eating space inside the virtual machine, you will have to consider for the guest OS for more information (which are not a matter of merger).

    To free up space on the host, with closing VM, go to settings, click on the circle of little tiny refreshment next to the space bar, then if she said cleaning recommended, go into general and make a clean virtual machine.

  • Running out of disk space and the need to remove the old clichés

    I recently joined a company owning an ESXi 4.1.0 (build 260247) server with 4 500GB data warehouses.  One of our servers main database (Ubuntu/Postgres), which uses only one of the data warehouses (4 datastore) has 21GB 465 GB free.  It is currently configured to store all settings, storage and snapshots on this unique data store.  The hard disk is configured as thin.

    The virtual machine has crashed a few days ago, when it ran out of disk space.  We removed a small second partition (which was in the same data store) and cleared space, but we receive extremely weak with only 5% of the data left store.

    I have read many posts and wanted to get the opinion of this community before I move forward.   Because we do not use the 4.1 last I heard some issues using the option "Remove all" that it may require more disk space and others recommended to manually delete snapshots from the closest to the base, but it seems that in this case it can merge the snapshot with the original without freeing all the space.

    We are not all of the snapshots and I'm fine with delete them, but I assure you we will not run out of disk space in the process and complicate things further.

    It is best to manually remove these snapshots starting with the one closest to the base or by using the "Delete All" (or something else)?  In addition, if we go with the manual option, is it possible with the virtual machine upward or do we need to close first?

    Current snapshots:

    Current data warehouses associated with VM (really unique using the 4 data store)

    Actual files on the data store 4

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    After the screenshot, your virtual disk 'arrow_db1.vmdk' stocked thickness!

    With the thick disc service and ESXi 4.1 (the problem with "Delete All" is related to version 4.0), you can run safely "Delete All". However, due to low disk space, I recommend that do you with the virtual machine off. If turned on, a new temporary snapshot will be created, which - according to the workload of the virtual machine - can grow and fill in the data store.

    Due to the size of snapshot and depending on the speed of your storage space, you need to plan a few hours well downtime.

  • my site stopped indexing and don't know why

    Can anyone help - our Web site has been indexed on google and don't know

    Hmmm. awardees your sitemap in webmaster tools is a good starting point.

    However, if you were to get indexed before but are not now while I highly doubt to submit to google will fix anything. But maybe you can find the answer in WMT. Worth the drive.

    The truth is that it could be almost anything stop the crawlers. If you added a config lately like robots.txt etc or files sitemap files or changed the DNS settings, all these elements are more likely to be the cause.

    If you get stuck, let me know and I can find someone of my Digital Marketing team to perform an SEO audit to see what is happening.

  • I can't play cities xl and don't know why

    So, I've already installed the game and created an account on the site, but it did not appear the icon on the desktop or in the start menu! and when I try to run it it says: "a new version of cities XL has been downloaded. Click on install to continue. ». I clicked it and it appeared a box showing information "your version of cities XL is up to date: 1.1.0.457.

    What it means? Can you help me solve this problem?

    Hi Botto,

    Do you have any firewall installed on your computer or third-party security software?

    If you have firewall or third-party security software I suggest to temporarily disable the security software and firewall on the computer and try to access the game. If you are able to access the game, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings. Later, re - activate the firewall and security software.

    If the problem persists, go to the link below to find more information on play the game cities XL and contact the support team for Cities XL. http://www2.citiesxl.com/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=items&CID=40%253Asupport&ID=297%253Atechnical-information&Itemid=76&lang=en

  • I'm running out of disk space

    Hello everyone!

    I have a very annoying problem that I faced today and I can't solve. I'm running out of disk space, and that it is nonsense because I just formatted the computer just 2-3 days ago and I have a lot of space in ut (~ 50 GB) and free to ~ 800 MB and it goes down for hours. The size of my file is ~ 28.3 GB and I had to have ~ 20.5 free space. I deleted all the unnecessary and temporary files and used a program cleaner (CCleaner) and other tricks but does not work. I don't know what I have to do. Please I need immediate assistance!

    Greetings,

    Raul

    Thanks for the reply! It looks like a volume snapshot (restore point) takes a lot of space. Access control configuration\systeme and Security\System and open System of Protection, then remove all the restore on the C: drive

  • Catastrophic failure Ox8000FFFF and running out of disk space on FACTORY_IMAGE (d :))

    Whenever I save my files to a disc, it is said that he has been completed successfully, and then later, I get a message that says Ox8000FFFF of catastrophic failure and I am running out of disk space on FACTORY_IMAGE (:)) IM Windows Vista. I'm not a novice in computers, I am a computer expert. When I pull my FACTORY_IMAGE folder, I don't know what are the files, so I'm aftaid of monkey with them. I deleted the old and useless files, but whenever I run the backup, I get the message of Ox8000FFFF of catastrophic failure later. I can only assume that the backup and running out of disk space on FACTORY_IMAGE are related. I've seen corrections on the Net for this problem, but I'm afraid to try them. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    Should be backups on an external hard drive or DVD; external hard drive preference.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

    Here's how to back up and restore your files:

    I'm running out of disk space on my C drive and I moved what I know I can move safely. Are there other places I can watch I don't know or is there any bloatware that I can remove? My current storage is 220MB and have only 8.5 MB remaining for the updates.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum!

    What is your availability/capacity of the HDD/SSD? May be mean you gigabytes by writing that "my current storage is 220 MB and only have 8.5 MB remaining for the updates." - could you elaborate? Is this HP Elitebook 850 and Win 7?

    You can use the free space on the software disc such as the large TreeSize > > http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/

    He can tell you what kind of things you have on your computer use the most space.

    You can run programs such as CCleaner (www.piriform.com) or

    You can move personal files (e.g. documents, pictures, videos etc.) on an external device (e.g. USB or SD memory card). Please, do not directly move/cut files programs or windows important things unless you're 100% sure what you are doing.

  • my computer repeat myself that I am running out of disk space...

    my computer repeat myself that I am running out of disk space on local disk (c :)) I tried defragmenting it and even tried to delete some of my programs.) I don't know what else to do! can someone please help? Thanks it will be greatly appreciated!

    Get a larger drive - car price reached remarkably.

    Defrag won't give you any more space - and in fact, you can not defrag if there is less than 15% free space.

    You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space.
