• Many disappear from the hard drive space

  Hello

  Recently I factory reset my computer and proceeded to put some of my old files save them on the computer. Some of the files were games, but I realized that I couldn't play without resettlement of their records. I was unable to uninstall properly an any of them, so I just deleted files - but I noticed after I had deleted the files that I had lost more (about 30-40 GB worth) hard disk space

  When I went to reinstall these games of their records, I found that they were taking about three times as much space as they said they would be (for example, it said it would take up to about 3.5 GB of space, but it ended up taking 11 concerts of my DD)

  Since then, I've lost an another 30 concerts without doing anything.

  Is there a reason for this? I scanned my computer for any sort of malware with two different anti virus systems, and they all come in white. I have two firewalls running as well, so I highly doubt that it is malware.

  I managed to solve the problem.

  System Restore has been fixed to raise as much as 50% of my hard drive space. I have since lowered to a more reasonable amount and have obtained a large part of the rear of space SD, and I at least know where the rest. Thank you very much for the help.

• My (C) hard drive space becomes low. What can I do?

  Hello

  My Windows Update is set to the recommended level. (C) hard drive space becomes low and other drives (E, F, G) have enough space. What happens if the C drive space comes to level down while Windows Update is taking place. The minimum amount of space have stand to drive C? How to manage the process?

  Your cooperation will be appreciated.

  Thanks & Rgds,

  You really need to think about 15%, a minimum of free space on the disk.

  Your 1st task is to try to identify the cause of the lack of space. Things like music, photos and especially video may gradually creep on you.

  TreeSize here is quite useful to work where space is gone.

  Libraries can be moved. Expand 1st level of etiquette in the left pane to display the top folder and right-click. The location of the tab, you can change the location of one of the empty discs and it will copy all files when you click on move. If you have more than one user, it is best to create a record of the user for each group and then do it for each of them. Don't forget to check the new location is included in all of the backups.

  Also use disk cleanup too. Open the computer, right click on the C drive, and then click Properties. Click Disk Cleanup. For more options in the result, click on the option of system files and see what you can get rid of.

• Mac OSX 10.11.5: Lack of 50 GB of hard drive space

  A few months (maybe a year), I used Bootcamp to create a partition on my Mac Windows. Today, I decided to use Bootcamp to delete said partition again. It worked well until it abruptly stopped Bootcamp, saying: the partition could not be deleted. I looked at my memory and saw that the partition has not been restored to my original HD. So now, Miss me about 50 + gigabytes of data.

  Here's what diskutil said.

  

  Disk utility does not list the missing partition. I lost the 50 concerts for ever?

  Hey Jeremiah-OOP.

  It seems that you went to delete the Bootcamp partition, but the utility has failed during the process. Now in disk utility, the Bootcamp partition does not appear but your primary partition is always smaller and lack of space that used to be under the partition Bootcamp.

  Let's take a look at this article: disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

  Expand a volume

  If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

  To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device.

  WARNING: When you delete a volume, all data thereon is erased. Don't forget to back up your data before you start.

  You may need to use disk utility to expand your primary volume to take advantage of all the hard drive again.

  Take care!

• I lose a hard drive space every day on my Windows 7 computer

  My computer is barely a month.  I only put on about 6 programs, all with small footprints.  I transferred to about 70 GB of files.  I know that the system uses the memory out of the box, but even with all that taken into account, that I can't take into account more than 40 GB of space and the amount increases every day.

  I was check and each day I lose a few GB of hard drive space.  Where's he going?  There is much info on Vista and some of its features that uses a hard disk space, I guess than some that apply to Windows 7.  But seriously, for example I lost 2GB between yesterday and today, and I have absolutely nothing to the computer.

  Clean temporary files and use Disk Cleanup to reclaim space.  But it is usually minimal and it does not take into account what I lose.  I have the system to restore all of the space to a fairly small percentage.  In summary, I think I have everything correct in order to minimize the use of hard drive, but the space is to be consumed at an alarming rate.  No virus, MSE is on the system and did not find a thing.

  Where the hell the space continues?  I am glad that I have a large hard drive, so there is move the room, but it's ridiculous to have disk space available endangered on its own.  I don't know that it's associated BONE.  Thoughts?

  I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?

  I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.

  I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.

  I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)

  Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.

  Can someone help?

• Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Is there a reason to save the two versions?  The NAVE seems to have no further use other than too much hard drive space.

  Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Why save versions when the DNG is the original and the NAVE seems to just take remote hard drive space?

  I see no reason to keep them, they take a lot of space, one of the reasons to convert to DNG is that they are almost 20% smaller than the ships.

• Bridge takes a lot of hard drive space

  Hello world

  IM new to this forum and new also for Photoshop CS6 and everything that surounds it.

  I had a small question which may be simple to you guys but its been annoys me a bit

  I work with bridge this morning and import pictures in it. Then I looked at my hard drive space and he was down about 5 GB. I do not change or do anything special, just imported photos so it would be easier when I start using PS CS6. Is it normal when I import images that it takes up little space on my hard drive. I thought that the bridge was used only to create a link between my photo file and Psalm I then tried to remove the images in Bridge to see if space would come back available, but it didn't. Anyone? Please help me to answer my questions?

  Thank you

  PS: I have 164 GB of free space on my hard drive, if it helps. Thanks again

  What you see is normal.  Once you import pictures Bridge generates a cache file, then you can disply a thumbnail.  Delete the picture will still retain the thumbnail, which is the function of compact cache.

  The options you choose depend on the size of the cache.   Embedded thumbnails takes less space.  If you check generate and save previews of 100% that will really increase the size of the cache folder.

  See this thread for more information on the cache.  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1094509?TSTART=0

• Recovery of HARD drive taking half of my hard drive space?

  My computer has two separate drives. C: drive with 74.3 GB of space and E: drive that was 73.2 GB of space.

  I did not burn the recovery disk but who is on this drive e. when I burn it will free up space on this drive and I'll have the 140 GB that I thought that I get when I bought the laptop?

  Or will I have save other things on there if I m download, if so? I put t know how to do this.

  Hello!

  If you burn the disc of recovery with the Toshiba recovery disc creator, the folder will not be deleted and you have no free room yet.

  If you burned the recovery disk, you can remove the hard drive, but when you restore a windows you need the recovery disc. If you n t remove the image on the HARD drive, you can also use it to recover.

  You can download t the creator of recovery disk or something else. It s all preinstalled on your laptop and if you have any other questions in the user manual are lots of information about recovery.

  Good bye

• Satellite C660: HARD drive space shows only 20 GB of free?

  Toshiba Satellite c660 with 320 GB of disk space, it shows that 2 hard drives or 2 partitions, one called data shows only 20.6 GB of free on 148, but when I go in there I can only find at maximum approximately 50 GB even with all the backups?

  Hello

  There are more partitions on the HARD drive.
  You can see it in disk management.
  Right click on computer and select manage.
  Now you should be able to go to the disk management which will show you all the available partitions.

  A hidden partition is used for the Windows 7 backup files that are needed to fix the Windows 7 in the case where something goes wrong with the OS.
  Then, you can find a Windows partition and the other partition is used for HARD drive recovery. The point is that you are able to run the system recovery from the HARD drive without the use of the recovery disc (recover disk must be created using the recovery disc creator)

• my hard drive space is endangered

  My hard drive is usually more often full, but I usually keep at least 1 GB free. Last night my father using the computer and a message popped up saying the space available on the drive C has been low. Once he was finished I checked it and it said that there are about 200 MB available. I went in and ran Norton Security Suite disk cleanup, which releases about 700 MB, and I went in my own files and deleted the old files that I is no longer necessary to release an another 200 + MB. Less than 24 hours later, I have the same problem, meanwhile, I downloaded a few files, but all handsets may be equal to 100 MB. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  With this little free, temporary files, virtual memory, hibernation, System Restore and updates all come to mind.

  Free space - Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.  If you have a 60 GB hard drive, which is about 55 GB formatted.  If your applications/WIndows install base is big enough (games or something) - 15 GB may be taken over by who.  There's 40 GB for your data.  Check that you use often.  There really about 8 GB free on that system at all times.

  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.
