• Why defragment reduced my free space on the disk?

  I show to have only 10% of free disk space on... VISTA lecteurC.  Thought that defragmentation would increase free space, but it reduces.  Don't understand why I should only less than 10% free space - I do ot DOWNLOAD music or movies and have very few pictures, and yes I'm dim when it comes to HER.

  I suggest that you use CCleaner to remove your temporary files because it is more aggressive than WIndows disk cleanup. With a C: drive however, this size you always are going to have problems. Size fluctuations are most likely due to points of system restore and Volume Shadow Copy.

  You can reduce the space they are taking by using disk cleanup and choose the option "files for all users on this computer." When you get to the window to select files to delete, click on the 'More Options' tab and click on the button 'Clean up' in the section 'Sytem Restore and cliché '.

  This will make that space available for a time until several restore points are created.

• After reducing the size of recycle bin free space does not appear in the C drive

  In recycle bin maximum size of drive C was 16840. I reduced to 10000. Free space in C drive has not increased when I checked. I defragmented the drive and restarted the computer, the specified free space is still as before.

  The recycling bin size is the maximum allowed, which will be its size when it is full.

  If you don't have something in it, it has no effect on the free space.

  The recovery 'hidden' Acer Partition should be left intact.

  But you do not what you should have done when you bought your Acer machine; know-how in case of hard drive failure recovery disks.

  Here is how to do this with an Acer:

  "How can I create a set of the backup recovery disks?

  http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/12866/kW/recovery%20disk

  Your Acer computer includes Acer eRecovery Management software that allows you to perform operations of restore directly from your drive hard disc , which allows a faster recovery process and no need for discs. Acer eRecovery Management does, however, allow you to create recovery discs. The recovery disks will allow you to restore your computer something happened to your hard hard disk .

  Note: According to Acer computer you have your Acer eRecovery Management version may be slightly different, but the ability to create your discs will be available.

  To create your recovery discs backup follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Start menu, and then click all programs.
  2. In the list of programs, click the Acer file, and then click the Acer eRecovery Management .
  3. User account control Windows may request your permission to run this program, click Yes.
  4. In the Acer eRecovery Management window left click backup, and then click create a default disk factory.

     Note: If you use a laptop or netbook, you will be asked to connect your power adapter, make sure that the power adapter is plugged in before continuing, and then click OK.

  5. In the page to create a default disc factory select the drive you want to use for burning the recovery media, and then click Start.
  6. The disc is ejected whenever he has completed burning, if several drives are required insert a new disc when you are prompted, and then click OK.

  The other option available is to create drivers and Applications Disc. You can use this to create a backup disk to install specific drivers without destroying the entire operating system and applications.

  To create a drivers and Applications disc, follow the steps below:

  1. Click create disk drivers and Applications.
  2. On the page create drivers and Applications disc select the drive you want to use for burning the recovery media, and then click Start.
  3. Whenever it has finished burning, the disc is ejected.

  Note: If the computer does not have an internal optical drive, an external optical drive will create a set of Acer Recovery media.

• Free space of hard drive in the MacBook air changes seemingly at random

  In recent days, my hard drive went a few GB of free space, zero KB. I check with clean my mac and see, first that my free space of RAM with the passage of time is reduced up to 10 mg and space free hard drive then start reduced up to zero KB and after 20 sec RAM & hard return to normal space (increased).

  What is the problem?

  You seem to be two distinct topics: storage and RAM. It is normal that all RAM to use. Please read the section of memory to use the activity monitor to your Mac - Apple Support.

• Where is my free space?

  Everyone knows their free storage space without doing you anything endangered? I keep the deletion of a lot of things. Really, I make sure that I don't have a lot of things in my phone because I have only 16 GB of space. Even just whatsapping, I am careful not to save the media that my friends send me, but I quickly get my space is almost out. What have I done? I went to check my storage space and I realized that I was with 0 bytes! So I went to google and saw that other people know it. Solution was to backup your phone to iTunes and do a factory zero I did last night. After factory reset, I restore my backup and guess what, I had 6 GB of free space! I was happy and angry at the same time. I've never had any bad experience when I used apple front and it is a first and it is quite frustrating because I really thought that I used so much space that I kept my deleting music and kept to transfer my photos on my laptop, but when it is in fact a phone/system error? The next day came that it is today, the phone memory is declining slowly and I haven't done anything for her! I realized this is beginning to happen when I upgraded my phone to the latest operating system. Do I need to downgrade or something? Happy if I can get the best response. Finally, I want to understand why I have only 11 GB of space for us when the phone has 16 GB of space?

  Completely remove the Whatsapp application for now.

• Is it safe to defragment with only 5% of free space?

  I've been advised to defragment my system is running slowly.  Is it safe to defragment

  with only 5% of free space?

  Safe?  Yes.

  Effective?  N °, probably not.

  In order to free more disk space - get an external hard drive and away _Your stuff_.

• I ran out of free space on the hard drive how can I free up space

  My pc is freezing or locking up when I run a desktop wallpaper animated, so I defragment a saw that I was up to 20% freespace

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
  storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
  any changes to the available disk space.

• Run Disk Defragmenter has released more than 30 GB of free space!

  I'm not used to run Disk Defragmenter Windows very often, but in recent weeks I have been through the very large import of my cd collection process on iTunes. My 'C' drive has a capacity of 222GB and I was at 9.68 GB of free space. I ran WDD but after 18 hours, he had still not finished! So I decided to cancel defragmentation, and after checking my 'C' drive, I found to my great astonishment that I now had 42.8 GB of free space! Then, I downloaded the DiskDefrag Auslogics free and running. She performed in a few minutes and showed the Windows defragmentation had done most of the work but for some reason any had not finished. Anyone know why?

  I have decided to disabled Windows Defrag and will use in the future, the Auslogics version he gives information about the status of the defragmentation and seems to be much more effective and faster.

  However, I am very surprised by the amount of free space that freed the defragmentation process. I searched on various forums of pc and other posters have said the complete opposite to my own experience. The common consensus seems to be that defraging reduces the amount of free space on a drive rather than increase it!

  There also seems to be a difference of opinion on the amount of free space should be left on a hard drive to allow the computer to function effectively. I was a little more than 4% before I defragmented but I saw messages advising that we should let betweeen 10% and up to 50% (which seems to me to be silly!)

  I would be grateful for any help anyone can give me, in particular, why the defragmentation released (in my case) as much free space.

  A common mistake in logic. You assume that two things are related, because they are close in time.

  Defrag does not change the amount of disk space. It only increases or decreases the free space or used.

  Windows defragmentation runs every three days and optimizes the program and load the system boot. This is not controllable. It is also not a defragmentation of data file.

  Using another Defragmenter will fight with Windows.

  NTFS (and FAT32) resist fragmentation. Most fragmented files are log files and will fragment 1 second after defragmentation.

  Windows only writes files where there are a lot of space to write prevention of fragmentation. Do not fragment the files that do not change. Disk cache makes the fragmentation irrelevent.

  Any recommendation on the free space are based on the best estimate on the way an average person uses a computer. Lack of free space does not work computer until it has zero. However, most people like to save their work and some Windows watchdog is going spastic, just before that you can't do anything.

  As to why you have noticed a change in the use of the disc.

  1. system restore - this could be it.

  2 disk Cleanup - it will take place in itself is space is extremely low

  3 log files are created, deleted, written, etc.

  4. Windows automatically repairs physical disk errors. If defrag was having problems, you can check there is no car repair files.

  It's a way see what may have disk operations occurred.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).

   

  change c:\bootex.log

   

  What is this file exist with something in it?

   

  The following commands query the event logs.

   

  To start verification by using the name of the source for any version of Windows (because it varies).

   

  WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Autocheck" or sourcename = 'Winlogon' or sourcename = "WinInit") get format:HForm

   

  To run chkdsk in Windows.

   

  WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Chkdsk") to / format: HForm

   

  For warnings about disk problems detected during normal operations and automatic repairs by Windows at the time where the problems were discovered.

   

  WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "NTFS" or Sourcename = 'Disc') to / format: HForm

   
  Then to view the created file.
   

  Start "" "% userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html"

• Free space on my hard drive has all of a sudden diminishedfrom 50% to 10%, what happened?

  Free space on my hard drive has suddenly (within a week) has declined from 50% to 10%. I used disk cleanup and defragmentation - but it did not help.

  Hi williamvmcb,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the problem description of free space on the hard drive is reduced by itself.

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Run the disk check to check for possible errors.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to repair. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

  Method 2: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.

  Thank you.

• Windows Vista shows 1.84 GB of free space on a 37.2 GB HARD drive, but it is false.

  A friend has Vista Home Premium 32 bit, service Pack2 installed. Vista reports that there is only 1.84 GB of free space on 37.7 Go, but through all the folders and adding up their total use, there's only 14.8 GB of data (documents, downloads, photos, programs, and Windows Vista, etc.) on the disc and even if Restore Points using a full 5% of disk space, which is only 1.86 GB extra. I ran disk cleaners (disc CCleaner and Windows clean), all temporary files at once I.e. and Windows Explorer have been removed, all registry errors have been fixed, and there are only two restore points. When I first checked the disk usage after receiving a warning that the C: drive was almost full, there is a red bar on the C: drive, instead of the usual blue (I dunno what that means), but after race Defragmenter Windows bar was new blue, but the use of the disc was reported more than twice what is actually there. Everything which can be removed, cookies, namely history, recent documents from Windows Explorer, etc., etc. have been removed. I can't understand where are the other ±18.7 GB.

  You can check the amount of space allocated for system restore points.  The system restore point brought the file size can be larger than necessary and could keep the restore points created when Windows updates come through and devours your file space.  It is interesting to watch in any case just to be safe.  I had this problem and changed by reducing the allotted file space in the system restore folder/file.

• Free space on hard drive shown incorrectly

  My drive C (SW_Preload) has about 200 GB of space. When I click on 'Computer' in windows Explorer, it says that the total free space is 20 GB of used space 180 GB IE. However, when I select all folders and files on my C drive and select properties it shows the total size on disk is only 70 GB. I don't have this with the other readers (Lenovo and SERVICEV003).

  Does anyone know why this is so? My basket is empty and runnign short space when I know that there is still plenty of space on the drive (the laptop is only 3 months and I copied only 1-2 records this to that).

  Hello Hitchkee,

  Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forums for Windows Vista. I hope you do well.

  To reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, you can use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need. Follow the link below for more details:

  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/1264bc24-72a8-48AA-84e3-a355327139d91033.mspx

  There are a number of issues that contribute to the difference:

  Hidden and system files -Windows Explorer display above was using the default settings that do not display the files marked as 'hidden' or 'system', and therefore, they are not included in the calculation. Change this setting increases the "size on disk" by about 7 gigabytes that all the hidden files on my machine have been included in the calculation. In particular, which included the system pagefile and hibernation, which are large file and marked as hidden.

  To change the settings, you can follow the steps below:

  Start Windows Explorer, and then:
  Click on the Tools menu
  Click the folder menu item Options...
  Click the view tab
  In the advanced settings list, scroll down until you see the hidden files and folders and Hide protected operating system files.
  Make sure that the hidden files and folders is selected. I also uncheck Hide operating system files - for the same reason protected: I don't want to hide it from me, the Windows files.

  Directories - directories, or lists and indexes of files on your machine are not the files themselves, but they don't take place.

  The Table of Allocation of file or the master file Table - FAT itself, Hall of Fame of FAT file system, is actually pretty low. The MFT, however, used in NTFS file systems is also stored on the disk but not visible as a file. It defines where the used and free space on a drive is actually. Depending on the size of your drive, your files and the size of the allocation unit, the MFT can be quite large.

  The log file - this is a file, but even once, you won't see it. It's NTFS internal data.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Kind regards

• What happened to my 10 GB of free space on the disk?

  I don't really know... Yesterday, I deleted a lot of films and albums of music from my pc and I am very sure that after I emptied the recycling bin, I had more than 31 GB of free space on the disk. But now... after that I just turned on my pc to start by knitting I noticed that my changed only 20.9 GB HDD space... what happened to the other 10 GB? No, I did not commit a any error with what I pressed on to empty the recycling bin and I even run windirstat just to check everything and I saw nothing wrong with all my files...

  IM using windows 7 ultimate sp1 with 100 GB hard drive (no partitions) 2 GB ram and 2.3 ghz cpu

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  I understand from the description of the problem, that after deleting a few files of the computer, the hardware space shows 20.9 GB despite 31 GB in Windows 7 computer.

  I understand this must be frustrating, but don't worry, we're here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  I suggest you try these methods and check if it helps.

  Try logging in SafeMode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem is resolved, perform the scan anti-virus in SafeMode with network.

   

  Method 1

  Step 1

  Start your computer in safe mode with networking.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Note: When, at the forefront of startup options select safe mode with network.

   

  Step 2

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

   

  Method 2

  Reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.
