Release of disk space?

How to free more space, when I deleted the unused programs, transferred all photos, music, movies on a portable hard drive. He said: I had 197MB of disk space, two minutes later, changes to 187 MB disk space. Why does this happen? Help, please!

Dana,

Do a disk cleanup:

Click the Vista blue start button, click computer entry in the Start Menu. Right-click on your hard drive, then select Properties > disk cleanup > files of all users...

More Options > clean (System Restore and shadow copies).

  • Need help on the release of disk space

    Hello world... I've recently refreshed my computer dell laptop and after this process has completed. I see that my c drive is nearly full, as about 20 GB is left out of 150 GB.

    The problem is I'm sure that there must be more space on the c drive and when I check the size of all the files its not even 13 GB... so I wonder what's happened on this drive and what's showing I have only 20 GB left... can anyone please help out me with this one

    Original title: disk space

    I beg of you.

    I recommend you get the Windows 8.1 update. It contains all fixes for known problems that have been discovered since 8.0 was released two years before--that's a lot of updates.  It is also necessary to use some functions or applications, more there improvements such as the return of the Start button and other updates to usability for those of us who use our computers with one keyboard and mouse.

    • Before you get the free 8.1 update in the app Store, go to the Panel Office and make sure you have first all updates.  Right click your Start button, choose Control Panel, then go to system and security and click on ' Check for updates ' in the Windows Update section. After they are all installed, restart and check once more there is no rest, then go ahead and start the 8.1 update.

    Regarding the cleaning program. There is no 'damage' in run periodically, just keep in mind that it can empty your trash, so be careful if you think you will need to retrieve an item removed recently.  Also consider that some of the elements that it cleans are actually useful to you.  The temporary Internet files for example, are there to speed up your Internet usage.  If you disable the files, all files must be downloaded again, that slows down the speed of your Internet.

    • In general, I recommend not to execute the cleaning manually program and allow for automatic maintenance of Windows to take care of it for you. The default automatic maintenance works at 03:00 once a week, but you can change that in the center of the Action.

  • 16 GB of free disk space required to upgrade?

    I have a 80 GB drive partitioned and C: has 3 GB of spare, I would like to upgrade to windows 7, but it says I need 16 GB of free disk, Vista is already using 22 gb - if I upgrade to I win 6 GB or is windows really 38 GB because none of my partitions are that big. (E: a 22 GB of spare I put windows on both Partitions?).

    I tried to resize the two partitions by using disk management C: offers the possibility of reduction of the score but the expand option is grayed out.

    Windows 7 32-bit requires 16 GB of free disk space
    Windows 7 64-bit requires 20 GB of free space on the disk

    In fact, Windows 7 does not use that amount of space, but for the actual installation, Windows 7 will store some files temporarily to help with the installation. Disk space actually used by Windows varies from 6 to 10 GB, depending on the edition you are installing.

    You can try to free disk space by running disk clean up and remove old system restore points. You can also try clearing your temporary files directory:

    Click Start, type: folder
    Press ENTER, delete the contents of this folder.

    You should try to uninstall applications you do not use and move files you use for example videos, photos on an external hard drive, you could do temporarily, then restore them after the installation of Windows 7.

  • Recover disk space

    Hello everyone,

    I am all new to this community and very happy to be here.

    I just started a new job looking after a new IT infrastructure, my experience has been Hyper-V, but now I'm looking after a 5.1 ESXi VMWare environment. So far I'm in love, then its great together!

    I've been after help, we have a virtual machine that has 4 VHD thin provisioned, HD1 (disk0 in the server disk management) currently only has 1 TB of unallocated space that is there is no active partition assigned to this area of space. My question is: what is the best practice to deduct all or maybe some of this space back so I can supply more VM.

    I have done some calculations and I have more than enough space on the server with the TB unallocated so that the space is really just wasted already.

    I can't wait to receive some answers and responses.

    Thank you very much

    Lee

    As you can see, the first virtual disk ' CDI-coFW - SQL.vmdk ' occupies ~ 115 GB of physical disk space, which is very probably the space required by the 3 active partitions. It is certainly possible to use e.g. the converter to get rid of the empty partition, but it's probably more than release of disk space for internal purposes. I probably wouldn't change anyting, except that I had a lot of free time.

  • Release VROPS clustered disk space

    I have a two-node cluster for vRealize operations 6.2.1 running tests and am looking for a way to free up space. Each node contains 200 GB, but the node 1 is using 70 GB and node 2 use 166 GB and caused the most recent upgrade fails due to lack of disk space and I had to move some old pak files to operate. I tried to do a rebalancing of the disk through the cluster management, but it has no effect. I also adjusted the global settings to significantly lower all the deductions, but I do not know if that will be actually slow or reverse the growth of disk space. Ideally, I'd like that it always keep the 50 GB free on each node. The data is not important and I would be very well throw most or all of it. I don't want to increase the storage for a cluster that I just used to test the new adapters and others.

    On the node master/storage/db/vcops/data is 27 GB and/storage/db/vcops/rollup is 13 GB.

    Data/storage/db/vcops/data node is 103 GB and/storage/db/vcops/rollup is 42 GB.

    Is there a way to free up space on the vRealize operations 6.2.1 nodes?

    It is not a way to manage performance data (bits) on the FSDB explicitly and control what data node they are on.

    Disk rebalancing of the works for adding new nodes, but won't ever perfectly, even the distribution of the disk.

    Retention settings overall, who will age out old data, but it won't be necessary maintain this exactly the form of scenario does not happen.

    It would make sense that files temporary (Pak) threw a key in the works, you've got a footprint small enough space right now. The most logical answer would be to add disk space and let the slices of data in the age of retention settings.

    RV Ops manages the data on the node itself, and if it gets too low on the FSDB partitions, it will begin to lay the slices of data automatically. In your case however, it doesn't have enough enough space (in GB) to accomplish the upgrade since you have such a small overall footprint IMO.

    * Also note that according to the upgrade path that you did, some require more disk space than the other. Upgrade to 6.2. * a few updates DB in the mixture, so it may require more typical amounts of the drive to succeed.

  • Deleted but iPhoto library not disk space

    Hi guys,.

    -I'm on a Macbook pro with an upgrade end 2011 1 TB SSD (Crucial) on El Capitan

    - and just deleted my old iPhoto library (which was 420 GB) and emptied the Recycle Bin

    -Unfortunately has no free space, my photo library is 440 GB and the size of the Pictures folder has reduced 880 GB 460 GB

    - BUT my SSD (drive) is always also shows 120 GB of free space only. When I emptied the Recycle Bin only about 20 GB released instead of 420 Go

    I've tried so far:

    -waiting for Finder to catch up

    -empty the trash again

    -restart

    --redemarrer reboot into recovery mode, run disk utility, first aid

    -tried to copy a 200 GB file on the SSD drive to check if the space is truly free, showing everything simply does not, but he said not "enough space on the SSD.

    All suggestions and help very welcome!

    Thank you

    Daniel

    It's exactly what you expect.

    While iPhoto and the report of libraries of Photos using 400 concerts or more, it has the same 400 concerts. The two libraries called the original photos of their own through Unix hard links and share a few minor elements. So, screw up the iPhoto Library recovered space that was exclusively used by iPhoto only.

  • I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.

    I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

    I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.

  • T520: low disk space on the workstation

    Recently, we purchased a few customers light t520, and already there are problems with disk space. I removed a few programs and added a few, but I haven't done anything unusual to increase the use of the disk. Ordinary forms do not help, disk cleanup gives me just a couple MBs to release. We have an application that requires .net 4.6 but now I can not install it because of disk space is low.

    The disc has a capacity of 16 GB, but Windows itself takes up almost all of it, and most seem to be located in the WinSxs folder. HP should not be selling these discs 16 GB so its barely enough for the Windows installation.

    Please tell us how to free up space on the disk.

    I got help elsewhere and told to delete everything in the folder Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/download released a few gigabytes, so I'm good for now. But still, it should come with at least 32 GB of storage.

  • Lack of available disk space; does not recognize that I have deleted files

    Today I found out, I had 2 GB left on my hard drive 150 GB (Windows XP Home edition, HP mini, purchased mid-2010).  I deleted about 20 GB of different files is no longer needed.  The properties of my C drive still say it be only 2 GB of free space, as if these files have not been deleted.  How can I force to actually evaluate disk space?  He always acts as if the hard drive is full, I can't save anything bigger than 2 GB because he thinks that's all he opened.

    I tried disk clean, defragment, properties of the material, Manager Matrix Storage Manager hardware, intel and now compress, then decompress it.  He still refuses to admit that I released 20 GB of space.

  • Amount of disk space available on the disk hard keeps fluctuating.

    I have a Compaq CQ2103WM-B desktop running Windows XP, hard disk Go 139.  I started to receive notices of high memory use, began to receive notices of disk space is low. I ran the cleaning disc several times, it has been very slow, constantly showing only 2 bars, sometimes for hours. He finally released the space and I have deleted several programs and files, emptied the trash. After a few minutes the amount of free space started going down again. For several days, I kept repeating this process, but keep decreases the amount of free space on the disk. Now, it fluctuates to the amount of free space on the disk every few minutes. I downloaded and ran CCleaner, it frees up space and again it has disappeared in a few minutes. He got so low that I can't watch videos, use system restore, download other software or software upgrades (like Norton), cannot download pictures from my camera or save files in programs such as Corel Draw. Right now is 3.97 MB free space, he went down in the KBs, sometimes it goes up, but it changes even if I do nothing. I scanned for viruses and malware, Norton managed to reach space, but it lasted only a few minutes. I don't know anything else to try. Would it be a software problem, the malware that Norton cannot detect, the hardware, or if my system has been hacked and someone uses free space on my computer? Any information would be appreciated.
