Products of disk cleanup does not not to remove older restore points

Hi, I use Vista Home Premium sp2, and although I had this problem for a long time, I barely had time to ask about it.

I have a separate drive (physically) for my backup/restore points, whenever it fills the only way I can do anything or is to format the drive and try again. Both Vista and CCleaner fail to create a disk space when asked to remove older restore points. There is no error message; They seem to work, but no free space appears on the disc.

In fact, the only software that I can remember that actually create any space by deleting old restore points was the Norton AV that was shipped with the system, but it was on a limited license that has expired for a long time.

All the advice to avoid the trouble of formatting the hard drive and create a new backup from scratch would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

I think you're confused of Restore Points and backups of your files or a backup of the operating system image.

Restore Points, who put your computer's settings back to an earlier point in time, are saved on your system, C: drive, not on another drive.

Backups of files or System Image backups you save to other media; an another hard drive, etc.

Disk Cleanup and CCleaner does not remove files or backups of the system; You must do it manually.

See you soon.

  • disk cleanup does not start 'Microsoft has encountered an error.

    I am running Win XP Pro SP3.  I tried to do a disk cleanup.  I tried to go through system tools and also start, run the cleanmgr.  Neither one would go.  I get the standard Microsoft window that says an error has occurred and I would like to send a report.  I tried running malware analysis and restart also. Any ideas?

    I'm sorry, that I couldn't find useful on this topic.  For the most part, the suggestion is either give up and download/install Ccleaner or to extract a new copy of cleanmgr.exe.  The latter usually does not have contributed.

    CCleaner is a good utility, but if you go this route, do not use record cleaning option.

    The current version of cleanmgr.exe, which should be located in C:\Windows\system32, is 6.00.2900.5512 that there should be a copy of the same version of the file in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386.  On my XP Pro system, I have an earlier version 6.0.2900.2180, C:\Windows\$NTServicePackUninstal$ and I have 'the original' in compressed form in C:\i386 (this is the version 6.0.2600.0).

    I saw a suggestion of semi-utile troubleshooting in the latest post (LasseA123) here: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/789412-disccleanup-will-not-run-2.html note, however, that the problem discussed in this thread was in Vista, and that the two keys under this says LasseA123 caused his problem are not present in XP.  If you follow the suggestion here and actually isolate the problem to one or two subkeys, include this information in the post that I am proposing in the next paragraph.

    My only suggestion is to start a new thread, either here, most likely in the Forum of Technet XP3: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/itproxpsp/threads with the subject 'Event 1000 Cleanmgr ID' and focus on the disciplines that you pasted here.  If you try to replace the current copy of the cleanmgr.exe with one or more of the files in the location I mentioned above but still have the problem, include this information in your message as well.

  • Disk cleanup does not confirm "I'm done".

    Hello

    When I run Disk Cleanup it guides me through the usual screens, but then when I get started doing 'clean up' I get no additional screens, notifications, popups, etc.  Yet, when I go in manually to check, figures show that he has released a lot of space, etc.  Why is there no notification saying "Cleanup Complete" or similar, as with most other scanning procedures, downloads, etc. etc. ???

    Disk cleanup has silent modes of execution. Each cleaner is a separate program. Dialog boxes would hinder operation.

  • Hard Drive C full disk cleanup does not

    My hard drive C has been fine for a long time.  Then all of a sudden in a period of about a year he started fill by itself.  I would deal with the problem with the disk cleaning and remove programs and files is no longer needed, but every time I did that it would end up a bit more than before (it would mean 40%, then fill up to 65%, then disk clean he would stay to 45% full).

    Now, I have 110 MB of space on a 30 GB C drive, and I've done everything I can.  I ran thousands of times drive cleanup, I have eliminated all the programs that I don't use, and I transferred all my music and movies on my D drive (which is fine).
    I ran several scans, but there seems to be no worm.  I can't do system restore because I did a restore a year ago.
    Is there something I can do, or is editing and re - install Vista my only option?

    Hello

    To add to the view of Mick.

    Look with in the settings of your programs to change to the D drive. You can also copy existing data to D:, just copy it and make sure everything is OK before you delete it on C: and make a backup.

    You can also delete the D: partition and enlarge your C: driver. (Save anything from D: first)
    Then you can continue to use the machine you are now. (Are backups and restore points on D:)
    If so they will have to be changed if you delete D: entirely.)

  • disk cleanup does not add any free space on a local disk C

    Windows 7 has been reinstalled and nothing seems to just I have 750 GB hard disk, but it shows only 698. I use disk cleanup, but free space is never added to a local drive C before windows 7 has been reinstalled I would delete system restore points and free space is always added to C Local dell drive replaced the hard drive and the motherboard. is there a way to check why no free space has been added and why I only show 698 GB when I have 750 I jump someone has an answer

    There are things which never appear even though you have set to see hidden and system folders.  There is a free program called Treesize that you can download from http://www.download.com which will show you everything on your hard drive.  One thing about the 750 GB 698 vs.  People judge 1000 K, but windows account in binary, which means that a K is 1024.  So when count you in decimal, you will get the 750 000 000, but in binary, it's less.

    Good luck.

  • Disk utility does not see an external drive on my network

    I'm trying to reformat the external drive that I use for backup on Time Machine, but disk utility does not see it. She appears in the Finder as a shared drive. I use OS x 10.11.6. Thank you.

    Disk utility is not supposed to see the network drives.

    If it's a USB, connect it to your computer.

    If it's an Ethernet or wireless, using a utility specifically designed for this.

  • Disk cache does not

    I use the add-on for the status of the Cache and noticed last week that the disk cache half of it shows 'not yet loaded. At first I thought that the problem was with the add-on, I even uninstalled and re-installed, but still got the same message. Then I realize that the error was because the disk cache is not active somehow.

    The upgrade to 11.0 FF last week, I made no changes to my configuration or installed any new Add-ons in weeks. I have a few additional modules related to the cache that I installed because I noticed this problem, in fact to diagnose this problem. All in their own way reiterates that the disk cache does not work.

    The page about: cache? device = disk is completely blank in my browser. The purpose: cache page only displays the information of the cache and hide offline (i.e. 0, since I have it is off).

    I added a "Cache" folder in my profile, and he has not made a difference.

    No, I did not order my disk cache folder to a different location on my hard drive.

    No, I'm not in navigation mode private unless there is a way to get in without my knowledge. With the menu editor I removed options incognito in my menus for a long time, since I never use it. He has also not checked in Options - Advanced - Privacy.

    Yes, I have checked all the cache-related on: configuration settings. Everything is as it should be activated and assigned to a certain size of the disk cache.

    How can I get this working again? It's a bit missing folder manually add to my profile, and if so, what is the path?

    This behavior is a feature, not a bug. When the "clear history of firefox closing" setting is selected, the option to clear the cache too, the disk cache is completely disabled. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709262 for more information.

    It took me a while to understand this one.

  • Logical disk management does not recognize a slave drive

    I installed an internal HD as a slave. The BIOS sees the drive, Western Digital Lifeguard sees the drive (it checks OK) with the appropriate drive letter, PMagic sees the drive before starting, but the logical disk manager does not recognize the drive or the drive letter.

    Using Windows XP, SP3 with latest updates

    Hello

    1. The hard drive is recognized in another computer?

    If this isn't the case, then the problem could be the hard drive itself. If he is found, then the problem is in your computer. In this case, run the diskpart.exe utility.

    Use the list partition command and see if the partition is detected. If so, then I suggest you to format the drive in diskpart.

    However, take a return of all data on the hard drive before the format by plugging it into another computer. Help with backup data, see

    Backup: what, how, where

    http://www.Microsoft.com/protect/data/backup/about.aspx

    To use the Diskpart.exe utility, follow these steps:

    1. type diskpartand press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.

    2. type list diskand press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

    3. type select disk =[n]

    n s Specifies the number of disc the disc to receive the focus.

    4. type list partition

    This command displays the partitions listed in the table to partition on the current drive.
    5. type select partition =[d]

    This command selects the specified partition and gives it the focus.

     d s Specifies the drive letter or mount point path of the partition to receive the focus.

    6. type format drive: / FS: NTFS/Quick

    For more information about commands, see

    A Description of the Diskpart command-line utility

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/300415

    Now you should be able to see the slave drive in Solution Explorer.

    you could try to run own Manager;

    you could try deleting your temporary internet files.

    Close the browser, open internet options control panel and look for the option to detele the temporary files.

    Hello

    First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

    Windows 7

    Check if the drive works now.

    If the drive still does not work, open all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

    sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

    Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

    Then, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.
