Recovery of disk space

My C drive has a capacity of 50 gigabytes.  Use, seen in the Windows Explorer, is 27 gigabytes, and yet I have only 90 MB free!   I suspect that a virus has absorbed the disk space (detected and deleted by Norton Power Eraser).  Is there anyway I can retrieve the lost 23 gigabytes?   I'm running under Vista 32 bit.

see if this program helps you to determine what is take up space

by default system restore will have up to 15% of the hard drive capacity, which isn't much on a player 50GBs

you would like to reduce this amount

  • Error message saying no disk space on recovery drive E

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron which is only a few months old and I use Vista Home Premium. I constantly receive an error message indicating that the recovery E: disk space is full. I went to the computer to check the available disk space and the bar is completely RED for drive E: of recovery. I have a lot of available memory on drive C: I tried to Defrag disk and disk cleanup. Disk Cleanup says 0 bytes will be released by empty my trash. That's because my basket is empty! I deleted all temporary internet files. I did a virus scan. I tried to save recovery E: files to an external site, but could not do this. I tried to delete the files and received a warning message if I did not complete this task. I copied the files to a folder of Documents, but that solves nothing. I called Dell Support and they said something on the partition. I tried to create my backup disks, but this error seems to be the way because he won't let me do this or the other. I cleaned my images and deleted all of the videos. I did everything that I know to free up space. I don't want to disable the error message, as some have suggested. I tried previously posted questions and answers on the forum, but I am unable to find my EXACT problem. If it is there, then I don't understand computer Lingo. My laptop is only a few months old, so I haven't added a large number of files. Why is that happening and how can I solve the problem? Please help!

    Dell computers are shipped with a recovery partition you can use to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new (usually by pressing F12 when the computer starts).   The problem is not that the recovery partition is almost full.  The problem is that Windows Vista should not access that partition at all and shouldn't the user.

    To delete the partition of Windows Vista and avoid the error message, remove the drive letter:

    1. click on the Start button.
    2 type diskmgmt.msc in the Search box and press enter .
    3. click continue at the user account control prompt.
    4. when the disk management window, right-click the E: partition, click change drive letter and paths... and click Remove .
    5. click on Yes .

  • Message "you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d :))".

    From: Robert judge

    On my new VISTA PC, I tried to use the built-in backup program.  The back-up apparently failed because there is not enough room on the "RECOVERY disk (d).

    Now, when I restart my new VISTA PC, I get this message:

    "Low Disk Space you run lack of disk space on RECOVERY (d). To free up space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here... »

    When I "click here," I gave then "disk for RECOVERY (D :). cleanup.  Disk Cleanup offers "Office installation files" and "Basket", but both have "0 bytes" so I can't free up space in this way.

    When I open the backup and Restore Center and try to back up files, the program starts by "creating a shadow copy.  However, I then get a message:

    "An error has occurred...". There is not enough space to save the backup files.

    Free some disk space or change your backup settings. (0x81000005).»

    If I have little space on"RECOVERY", I only need saved Documents.  But even when I check only the 'Documents', I get the same error message.

    I think that I should delete the contents of the D RECOERY and try again.  However, there seems to be some files that are already installed on RECOVERY D.  However, I see a folder called "game 2008-06-08 backup 193208," which I suppose is the backup failed I tried on 6 June.  Should I just remove this folder and try again?  Or y at - it another way I should try to use the program "backup and restore"?  I'd appreciate advice.

    Mickie,

    As Ryan has noted, the recovery disk D should not be used for storage, do you have anything installed to him directly?

    If you're trying to backup, then cancelled or failed, then follow these instructions:

    1. Click on the Logo Windows (start)-> type to start searching the backup status and Configuration
    2. Next to the "automatic backup is currently activated" click on Turn Off
    3. Close the window.

    Then, we will need to remove the incomplete files on your D drive.

    To do this, you will need to click on start click on computer, and then double-click Disk Local (d)

    Here you will find two things, a Mediaid.bin file and a file with the same name as your computer (you can check by finding a backup set inside this folder), you must remove both to get rid of the message. Let us know if you need help, to know the name of this folder.

  • On the recovery partition low disk space

    My grandfather had assembled this computer and it seems to have two disks (disk Local (c) and (d) PRESARIO_RP), it seems I do not start to go or use PRESARIO somehow, even if it has RECOVERY software in this regard.  I did the math, my computer says that it is only about 2 GB (there are also a few minor cases on this subject), but the capacity has to be 11.2 GB.  I constantly receive say error message that it runs out of space, and when I shoot to the top of its properties, it says I have only 2.04 MG left on the disc.  Any thoughts?

    Hello

    Because your computer manufacturer did not provide a Windows
    installation disc, they rather created a recovery partition to be
    used if you need to reinstall Windows. You should never try
    to use this partition for something else. If you write it, you run
    the risk of losing your only option to reinstall Windows.

    On the other hand, is almost certainly to your computer with instructions
    Burn the content of this partition to a DVD so that you can reinstall
    Windows if the player crashes. If you have not already lost content
    of the partition, you should proceed immediately.

  • disk space low in my recovery disk

    I'm having a problem with the recovery disk.  Of course, I get the notice that there is not enough disk space in recovery D: drive.  I reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I hit the hard drive to install it in.  That was of course a D drive.  How can I get rid of the excess in recovery drive (D :)?

    Call the manufacturer of your computer.
    Ask to speak to a technician.
    Say your exact problem tech, and ask the person to show you how to get rid of unwanted items.

    It was the manufacturer of your computer that has installed the recovery partition, these technicians know how to fix this.

  • IM always get "low disk space" and the backup file always fails and recovery D

    always get low D recovery and backup disk space the files always cleaning disc fails is no help either

    You are NOT supposed to file backups on ypur recovery Partition D.

    Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
    You use it to restore your system.

    You are NOT supposed to touch it... to not add anything in it or remove anything from him.

    You call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

    1. ask for a set of recovery DVD, if you don't have a game yourself. The game is essential to restore your computer in case where it breaks down, and you screwed up the recovery partition which is unusable for recovery.
    2. ask to talk to a technician. Ask the person how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
    They, the manufacturer of computer created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
    Let them teach how you to.

    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of the file *.

    Hi bmama82

     

    1. What are the present partitions on the hard drive?
    2. on what drive you have installed Windows Vista operating system?

    3. have you already named the drive as a recovery drive or you have a system image stored on the recovery disk?
