Space low disk on my computer.

I keep getting a message on my computer low disk space. I moved most of my files from the GB 116 C drive on an external hard drive. From now on C drive I don't have 55.8 MB 116 GB of free space, even if there are only 23 GB of files.  I ran the cleaning disc several times, but the disc continues to fill, even after deleting the files more.  I have a Toshiba satellite laptop. It also has an E drive (it says data: E 115 GB), which has my music and videos. That doesn't seem to be a problem at this point. Someone at - it suggestions on how to stop cultivating my C drive? Thank you

I use McAfee anti-virus protection.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  1. By clicking on the Start button to open Disk Cleanup , on all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

  2. In the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean your own files only or all files on the computer. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. If the disk cleanup: drive selection dialog box appears, select the hard disk you want to clean and then click OK.

  4. Click the Disk Cleanup tab and select the check boxes for files that you want to remove.

  5. When you have finished select the files you want to delete, click OK, and then click on delete files to confirm the operation. Disk Cleanup on delete all unnecessary files from your computer.

The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:

  • Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.

  • System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

    Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

    In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup. This information will also be deleted. For more information about system restore, search Windows Help and Support 'system restore.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-3150us Notebk: space low disk after upgrade to version 1607 Windows10

    In the month of August I have improved my laptop Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 10.  Everything worked fine for a month now until Windows 10 1607 version has been highly recommended by people of Windows 10.

    After having updated with all updates faithfully, but as soon as I tried (four times) to install Windows 10 1607 version, then the step of time again to return to the previous version of Windows.  Then I hit a brick wall.  I always get the error message: "low disk space".  And Windows is continuously remind upgrade me to 1607. As in the famous movie, it's a catch-22 situation.

    I read part of the help Forum and led to a link suggested by a member of the staff of HP as the only resolution available.  The link for this low disk space error problem is http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03736755.

    I translated the link Windows 7 instructions in organization style Windows of problem resolutions 10 and is in the section "Files and folders" and then followed the steps in Windows 7.  But I always hit a brick wall.  In the view of files hidden on my recovery disk (drive D I checked I didn't backup any personal files to occupy space unnecessarily.)  I also emptied the previous system restore and just did a new restoration of the system.  But still the same problem.  It seems I need to extend my recovery disk for Windows 10 version 1607.  But by following the steps in the evolution of my partitions, the option to extend the recovery disc has been shaded and so available.

    Is it possible to enlarge my recovery disk? This laptop is great and has a lot of life left.  I don't want to have to buy a new one just to work on this problem of low disk space error.

    Desperately need help because it is the only computer for our family.

    Sorry do not provide the follow-up to resolution as soon as possible.  Here's how my problem was resolved:

    I asked my son to help IT specialist.  He re-partitioned my computer using a free software tool (AOMEI Partition Wizard Standard Edition).    I choose to add 50 GB of my unit (recovery drive) which then totaled 68 GB for this drive. because I wanted to ensure this problem wouldn't come back and I had space to work with.

    I have worked with this resolution now for about a month and have a zero problem.  What I noticed, was that after a few weeks 10 Windows should have automatically cleared out my previous updates because Windows Explorer now shows that this drive has a file size a total space of 68 and 51 GB that is not used which brings my use of the reader to 17 GB.

    I am guessing that before Windows 10 empty automatically previous updates that he needed somewhere between 20-25 Go make the final version of 1607 upgrade and retain earlier versions (for me to return to the previous editions).   Then the end of the period of time to return 10 Windows must have automatically deleted my previous editions and just kept upgrading version of 1607.  In hindsight I would have added 50 GB on my drive - on another 10-12 GB would have been more than enough for this transition period to work.

    Finally I am EXTREMELY well pleased I did the update of Windows 10 and then added the update of the birthday Version (1607).   I like the added security features and a large number of features and benefits.

    Hope this helps others.

    Hello

    You should never change the size of your recovery Partition, or add files

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    The next step is to reconcile the total for 31 736 Mo C (say 31 GB) to the 51 GB what you said earlier. The formula to reconcile these figures is:

  • Space low disk - FACTORY IMAGE (D)

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    This warning is probably occurred because some software that you have installed is recording of data in the partition of evil, (I saw this problem with Norton Backup for example).

    Order free of charge, on the link below, is a useful utility, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

    Run this utility, select the D: partition on the toolbar, search for files that are not obviously related to the recovery Image, then remove them.  It may well be obvious what software has been save data on this partition, then make the necessary changes to the software responsible in order to avoid the error re-occurred.

    Best wishes and a happy new year.
