Removal of movie files is not free disk space

After you identify, backup and then delete my file film of my iMac, my storage bar continues to show that I have more than 500 GB of files film left on my hard drive.  I followed a number of suggestions posted in response to similar problems (that is to say, turning off TM, disconnect the backup disk and restart).  Nothing has worked.  Using Finder there are no large found film that would show where all these data are supposed to be.  Upset.  I will be grateful for all the solutions.

You empty the trash?

  • Mobile library did not free disk space

    I got my Macbook GB 512 Pro flew a few weeks back and I bought a MacMini I have another laptop.

    The MacMini is only a 250G SSD and its already full.

    I have storage iCloud but everything still seems to want to live on my SSD.

    I moved the photo library (30G) of the SSD to a USB attached (formatted OSX extended) and naively expected to free up space when I deleted the original PL and emptied the Recycle Bin after you did.

    Unfortunately there were no releasing 30 g at all and I still have the same problem.

    My SSD Mac was / is also showing 20G of movies, all deleted or left the trashed SSD (and empty) - all this without release all space.

    I am unable to save or update my iPad Pro due to lack of space (about 10 G of free disk SSD) - The MacMini tells me that there is not enough space on the SSD drive.

    I is turned off and turned back on iCloud Photos and fact will restart but not luck. All my photos are safe in iCloud, so I don't really know what I have to do to free up space.

    Someone at - it ideas or experience similar issues?

    Thank you

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index of the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.)

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can, if you wish, use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that the ODS only works with OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions.

    IMPORTANT: This comment is neither a recommendation nor an endorsement of any third party software. You should always do your own research to determine if the unknown software is safe and useful. Don't take the word of anyone, including mine.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

  • Deleting files is not free up space?

    My problem is that I delete some files of a .sparseimage
    and it did not appear that the memory is free, I have remove some movies because I didn't have a lot of memory. but to erase from my memory remains the same and empty the trash of course (of course with the open .sparseimage), repair the disk, restart the computer, all done and do not know how to solve this problem, I ask here because my hard drive is almost full and I really need this space, and now I have about 15 GB of files GHOST? , what happened to me before and I have no idea how to solve this

    I do not use Time Machine or something like that...

    sparseimages do not shrink on their own. You must do it manually, and it cannot be done in a "Terminal".

    1. eject the volume that represents your sparseimage

    2. open the Finder

    3. go to Applications-> utilities

    4. open Terminal

    5. at the command prompt, type

    hdiutil compact

    Make sure you add a space after "compact". Return to Finder and drag-and - drop your sparseimage in the Terminal window. Press the ENTER key.

    Wait for the command to the end, which could take some time depending on the size of your sparseimage.

  • Remove MSXML programs safely to free disk space.

    I have a Sony VIAO with windows XP. This is an old desktop computer and not my computer alone.  I try to free up disk space on my C drive and did the basics.  I'm looking to remove programs but I get a message that I don't have enough space to remove programs.  My question is under Add or remove programs, I show 6... Programs MSXML.  listed in this order... MSXML 4.0 (KB25672), MSXML 4.0 (KB927978, MSXML 4.0 (KB936181), MSXML 4.0 (KB954430), MSXML 4.0, (KB973688) MSXML 6.0 PARSER (KB933579).)  One of these can be removed?  Any suggestions on how to free up space in order to remove programs and not get the error message... "not enough disk space to remove programs.  I have an external drive that has LOTS of space.  Thanks for your time.

    I recommend that you do NOT remove any entry in Add / Remove programs that starts with k.  In fact, you should uncheck the "Show updates" box in Add or remove when you go there looking for things to uninstall to create more disk space.

    I have not watched all the items you list, but some (and I expect everything else) are critical security updates.

    There are a number of things you can do to - temporarily - free disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • 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 and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

  • Compacting files: I get the message, "not enough disk space.

    Compaction stops, a message on "not enough disk space. I tried to delete the .msf file and also delete "inbox." Nothing works.

    The kind of details that really your search does not exist. Once I looked for something similar and some of these topics, I'm still trying to learn more.

    But I can offer some advice.

    IMAP. Words like Subscribe riffle and quota, inherent to the IMAP protocol and are not terms that you will find are defined in Thunderbird, or he has documentation. They are defined terms in the IMAP protocol, see RFC 3501

    Their isn't a such thing as a remote folder, but IMAP is synchronized. essentially local copies of the mail are a cache to speed up performance, although there are options for do not keep local copies. My experience is that it's slow. I'm assuming that IMAP, it is that what you call remote folders.

    Size limits on technical terms are difficult. Historically, Thunderbird has a limit of 4 GB per file. This has been deleted way back to IMAP. local POP e-mail accounts and local folder still have the limit, or at least bug if you exceed the limit. Whenever the developers think they killed the bugs, another arises.

    What files are compacted. Why all of them! Compaction has a dual purpose. In IMAP account it purge deleted mail from the server (a permanent deletion) locally the large amounts of wasted space are compacted to recover used space again by mail folders as being deleted. The physical elimination of the deleted mail only occurs during compact.

    Remove folder is as simple as right clicking them and selecting Remove. Some special folders and the local folders account space simply cannot be deleted.

    There is a manual here http://en.flossmanuals.net/Thunderbird/ but I do not think that it deals with the issues you have raised.

  • I use creative cloud in order to download the trial of Photoshop on my pc but this error:-Instillation failed. Not enough disk space. Please free up space on C and try again (-30)

    I use creative cloud in order to download the trial of Photoshop on my pc but this error:-Instillation failed. Not enough disk space. Please free up space on C and try again (-30)

    I entered the settings of cloud and told to download for my largest drive E (which it fine for lightroom) but it only downloads on drive C (small disk almost full) for Photoshop. I missed something or is this a bug?

    Thanks in advance

    Shared resources and temporary files will be stored on your primary drive.  If a lack of disk space prevents installation then make sure you have enough space on the main drive for temporary files and installation files extracted to be placed.

  • Free disk space on the C partition

    Separated from this thread.

    I am also having the same problem.  I am running Vista Home Premium SP2.  I was getting close to complete on my drive C (13% free space). I was shocked to see how quickly it filled up, almost as if he did it by himself.  I was downloading a lot so I had no idea how it happened.  I ran each program cleaning and each antivirus that I had to try to make room.  I cleaned up program files deleted a bunch of audio and video files, and it does not seem to do much more of a difference.  I shut down the computer for the night and is returned to him the next morning.  I ran and bought a few flash drives to transfer files more and when I booted up I checked the hard drive and it was back to 48% free space (as it was before).  I have no idea what happened, but so far, it seems to be fixed...?   one of the cleansers I ran also ccleaner.

    Compress files

    There are two ways to compress files in windows. Zip files and built-in file compression. It's built-in file compression. For more information on compression type zip in Start - Help and Support .

    Photos, music and video are already compressed. They can get larger if Windows tries to compress it any further. Also usually a bad idea to compress system files.

    If you have files of worksheet they can very well be compressed. If you have files, installation files, they can also be good candidates. Web pages are also good candidates.

    In Windows Explorer, blue file names means Tablet (it is the file system compression not aka zip files compressed files). Green filename means Encrypted.

    To disable file names colored, in Explorer - Tools menu (Alt + T)- display tab and then clear the check box for Show encrypted or compressed NTFS in color .

    Windows compression, encryption and security to work for the most part by applying attributes to a folder and the files in the folder inherit the folder.

    If you have all the files appropriate for compression, find them in solution, made Explorer right click - Properties - general -Advanced button tab - Compress contents to save disk space. Choose to apply to all files and folders when asked.

  • 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.

    Additional details and instructions for the release of disk space:
    How to speed up your Windows 7 system:
    http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog/CNS! E8E5CC039D51E3DB! 40406.entry

    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.

  • Help! CHKDSK not enough disk space to recover lost data. My hd is not accessible!

    Help me!!!
    I've been running chkdsk on my hd
    and it is recovering data... suddenly this message appeared: not enough disk space to recover lost data
    I tried to delete some data... but can not access my hd!

    HELP ME PLEASE!
    Thankss

    Hey Polo,

    1. What exactly you're talking about when you say "my hd are not accessible? What exactly you get the error message?
    2. It is an external hard drive?

    You need to do something to free space on your drive, aiming for 20 percent of capacity.

    Move or delete some files to free disk spaceand then try again the Chkdsk utility.

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    Please post back with the State of the question.

  • What does the red exclamation point and which would prompt me to now have more free disk space?

    It was getting my full disk space. Up to 1.2 GB to 73 GB. I removed some unnecessary files and programs up to 4.6 GB. Last night my internet was running very slow and I got a message that says that my disk space is full. I went to the Explorer, who intends to seek more to remove offline. To my surprise, it showed that I have 38 GB of free space. At the same time however, some (not all) of my desktop icons now have a red exclamation mark on them. There are some that are shortcuts, jpg files and doc files. That means the red exclamation that tempt me to now have more free disk space?

    I would just be guessing really. He could have files, online backup was queued up. It may be something to do with the shadow copy of Volume. If I use cleaning disc with the option all users and delete restore Points and shadow copies on the tab "More options", I'll be back about 15 GB on a disc of similar size. The effect is only temporary, until they accumulate again.

  • Not enough disk space on the drive operating system on PowerEdge T310 with SAS 6/ir RAID controller

    T310 Server 2008 Standard SP2 system installed using Dell OpenManage for a matrix RAID with 2 HARD drives. The table is divided into a volume EISA 39 MB, a RECOVERY volume (drive D) / 3GB, 40 GB OS volume (drive C) and a 422 Go to Volume DataPart1 (drive E).

    The reader of the OS (c :) currently has less than 1.5 GB of free space. I have already moved or uninstalled as much as possible, but the space seems to be used for updates/hotfixes for Windows Server 2008. I found about 1.2 GB in the Windows/Temp folder, but not sure if the files can be deleted without a problem.

    Drive would be "is the recovery disk with drive"E", used for data and program storage.

    I can't find a way to extend this player, although there is enough space on the disk. Using the Windows Disk Manager I was able to open about 20 GB of free disk space that can be used to extend the OS disk - only no options are available.

    Here are my questions:

    (1) can I delete or move the deployment files MS Updates? If so, where are the?

    (2) how can I enlarge the OS drive?

    Thanks for your help!

    Jack Leonard

    Mktman,

    One-way ticket, you can go is to use the tool Extpart found here. This program will allow you to extend the space on the C: drive. There is a catch though. With Extpart you can develop the C: drive, but only if he is not a player after him. So, in order to expand the C: drive, you will need to back up and delete drive D: and E:, and then expand c. Can you re-create and restore D: and E:

    Now with regard to your questions, I would have to research if the update files can be moved. I know that most of the time the file that consumes the most space is the page file for the operating system. That can be moved to the E:drive.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Upgrade to 10.5 fails - not enough disk space in common Partition - db_hist using more space

    Hi all

    Tried upgrading our 9.0 (2) UCCX SU1 HA deployment 10.5 (1) last night and it failed with the following message.

    There is not enough disk space in the common partition to perform the upgrade. Please use the platform command line Interface or the tracking tool in time real (RTMT) of free space on the common partition.

    RTMT reported common disk space used as 94%. RTMT using we put the LogPartitionHighWaterMarkExceeded at 55% and waited for the disk space free. No luck.

    A bit more investigation and it turns out there is a database called db_hist_dbs in the common partition which is 33 GB in size. This is the command and returned the output that we used to find this point.

    See the common diskusage

    8.0 K/common/Ministry of health

    33G/common/var-uccx/CBD/db_hist_dbs

    1.6 G/common/var-uccx/CBD/temp_uccx_dbs

    201M/common/var-uccx/CBD/uccx_er_dbs

    1.6 G/common/var-uccx/CBD/uccx_ersb_dbs

    37G/common/var-uccx/dbc

    37G/common/var-uccx

    /Common/ontape_backup.gz 16 M

    8.0 K/common/cancel_upgrade

    Using this command - show uccx dbserver disc - we can see that the db_hist database file is actually 80% free! Output of the command here-

    SNO. TOTAL SIZE (MB) OF NAME OF DATABASE SIZE (MB) USED THE FREE SIZE (MB) TO ONE HUNDRED FREE

    ---- ------------------ --------------- -------------- -------------- ------------

    4 db_hist 34508,6 6836.9 27671,7 80%

    Anyone have any ideas on how to reduce the file size of the database in question? Is it still possible? Or what are our options to work around this problem and perform the upgrade.

    Thanks in advance

    Jeff

    You run in this bug: CSCul18667

    Symptom:
    Log purge CUIC is not clean file JMX. Upgrade may fail for lack of space.
    "show status" command s show that logging consumes 99% of space

    Workaround solution:
    Can remove by going to RTMT-> central tracking log & -> remote browse-> nodes-> 'specific node'-> UCCX-> Cisco Unified Intelligence Center Servicability Service-> jmx-> select all-> Delete

  • In time real PXI-1031 does more work with labview. "Not enough disk space to perform the backup.

    The labview real-time project was working until a few weeks ago and the only error that is displayed on the PXI is this error message.

    "NEITHER Configuration Manager: not enough disk space for the backup" everything before that looks like it starts very well. Recently, I removed the hard drive and remove the 4 GB network log file because it seemed to me that a file of 4 GB on a fat32 file system was probably the cause of the problem. After that it the project worked when I tested it, but others in my lab said it was broken again the next day.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated because I don't know all that equipment.

    I found that I had "reset IP" set to "yes" in the bios that seemed to be causing my problem because I changed it to no and it seems to work perfectly now. Sorry that it took so much time to understand and I feel like a fool.
