Most end up by in the C:\Windows folder, although they can be elsewhere. by default, the .log files will be opened with Notepad, they are just text files. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

    How to remove temporary files, waiting to be written to disk when the computer starts?

    Hi Reasman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!

    To clear pending files, select the files/folders in the 'Files to add to the CD/DVD' box and press DELETE. However, if you want to delete all files, click the CD/DVD drive and select 'Clear the staging area' from the context menu.

    You can manually delete the files that are stored in the following location:

    %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning folder

  • Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window

    The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.

    I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.

    I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.

    "Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.

    When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
    contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
    a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
    crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
    file.)

    Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
    to get rid of them.

    Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
    Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
    see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
    installed, glorious detail.

    If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
    was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
    These files as well.

    On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
    standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows
    The Defragmenter built into the work. In addition, it is to you.
     
    Your processor is another story. It's not easy to find effective security
    software that will work on a P3. Even if you only use the computer
    for the basic elements, an internet connection is pretty basic for a online
    criminal to find you.

  • Help invisible fixing file trash should be removed, the file has grown exponentially and hard disk space.

    A few days ago, I deleted a file .mkv of the trash using CCleaner, as I usually do (this is my first problem with CCleaner). Although it seems as if the file was not successfully removed. Whenever I start Defraggler or CCleaner, I am aware of the file in question still exist on my hard drive, and as time has passed in the last days, the file has increased to exponenentially to the point that he can't because he filled my hard drive. Remember that this file, before I deleted it, was about 4 GB. It's somewhere in the region of 80 GB, I think. CCleaner can not delete it (although it is trying very hard), I tried to defrag it several times and I don't know what to do.

    According to Defraggler, the file is located in C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-1458822887-3216967547-306807193-1000\

    If anyone knows how I can remove this file from my hard drive, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll have to buy a new hard drive and move all the important data on it to the new.

    actually just fixed. solution was to allow C:\$Recycle.Bin be seen (with options of folders in the control panel), then went in, deleted the trash (excluding all files desktop.ini and other important files, windows prompts me not not to remove). Voila, basket rest, excluding the massive file that was found to have taken more than 170 GB in the end.

    very happy right now.

  • Remove unnecessary files from my drive F to get the free memory.

    My computer tells me that I'm running out of disk space on my drive 'F' and I need to delete files safely. I ran the first register the controls of the space, but my computer says that there is nothing to remove.

    "There is another option that says 'Other Options', but I don't know what are the files I can delete safely drive"F"

    Describe how your hard disk is partitioned. The operating system is on the C: drive usually - but not always-.

    For example, list all your partitions, how big they are, what they do, and how much free space is on each. Oh, also, in case you have unallocated space on your hard disk, indicate how many there are.

    To get this information, follow these steps:

    Make a right click my computer and select manage. Then click on disk management.

    Finally, you have access to an external hard drive?

  • Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

    Questions

    1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

    2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

    Background

    Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

    -Start in SafeMode: does not work

    -Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

    -Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

    Disk utility error messages

    Most often, I get this error:

    The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

    Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

    Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

    Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

    I also received this error message once:

    Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

    Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

    Save the files to external hard drive?

    Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

    When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

    I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

    More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

  • 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?

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
