Space on the busy 'unknown' disc C

Hello

Recently I was checking how much space I had left on my drive C (232 GB SSD) because I noticed he was getting quite full.

Now here's the strange thing you: he said I have only 59 Gb of free space (which would therefore 173 GB used space) but when I open the C drive and click Properties of each file in this player to check the size, it only rises up to 94 Gb. I double checked it with a tree disc (WinDirStat) mapping tool and this program shows the same results.

so my question is: what occupies this 79 GB of space and why do not see it anywhere? is there something I can do to clear this space somehow?

just to be clear, I have checked every folder, which means that the Windows folder as well (if this isn't the file exchange or hibaration which amount only to a combined 14 GB file)

If someone could help me with this, I would be very gratefull!

Thank you and best regards,

Bill

which could take up to this amount of space and why is it invisible to me?

I've mentioned before - C:\System Volume Information. It can contain your System Restore Points.

  • Calculate the free space of the lob segment / reclaim space?

    Friends...

    DB: 11 GR 2

    OS: Linux

    I am trying shrink lob segment and recover the free space between the business segments.

    This area in Oracle DB is new to me so try to learn and to shrink the segment.

    I went through various metalink doco (386341.1) but not be able to get answers for below...

    Issues related to the:

    1. how much free space is available in the lob segment?

    2 can I assume 'no LOB DATA' as the free space currently and even will be recovered once the segment will be shrunk?

    3. no disadvantage of using "ALTER TABLE... SHRINK SPACE.

    4. is it true if storage segment is 100 GB as many redo will be generated when trying to alter table... shrink the space?

    I'm following the steps below.

    1 find Segment name-> sys_lob123

    2. find the size of storage - > 100 GB

    3. find the size of the LOB data-> 70

    4. find the size of the data not LOB-> 30

    2. the storage size

    Select 'storage' from dba_extents bytes

    where nom_segment = 'sys_lob123. '

    100 GB

    3. the size of the LOB

    Select dbms_lob.getlength (col_lob) in the table_lob;

    70 GB

    4. the size of the LOB data not

    100-70 = 30 GB (i.e. #3 - #2)

    Thanks in advance and enjoy your time looking into this...

    Use DBMS_REDEFINITION to reorganize the LOB segment, it is the best way to retrieve a LOB segment space. Also use the clause "MEANS of COMPRESS" and SECURE LEADER, creating the temp table. There is no reason that you can use the BASIC FILE. It's online process, which means that your app can stay up to... However, make sure that monitor you the database when executing redef, as it can cause conflicts and slow down your application, in which case you must kill the reorg...

    If this process is not feasible or overwhelms you, "ALTER TABLE MOVE" is another option.

    With 'Displacement of Alter table', you need to rebuild all indexes after you move the LOB segment. Don't forget this is an offline process and your application needs a time out while you do this.

    Here is the query to list the 10 LOBs albums in your database-

  • Save space on the disc thin provision

    Hello.

    I have a virtual machine that has thin provisioned N. 3 disks:

    • 1-> provisioned size 20 GB
    • 2nd-> size 3 GB provisioned
    • 3-> provisioned size 20 GB

    If I look on the use of the storage on the server ESXi 5 (VI client) I see this:

    Provisioned.png

    But if I connect on the virtual computer, I see this:

    VM.png

    With a simple calculation, I don't see that really used on the virtual machine storage size is only (20 - 8,64) + (3-0, 746) + (20 - 5,46) = 28,15 GB.

    Very different 40,48 GB storage used .

    The question is:

    is it possible to reclaim unused storage space?

    In other words: is it possible to align the "storage used" showed on the resources of the ESXi server to that actually used from the VM?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can use vmkfstools with the option ofpunchzero to recover the disk space of the thin configured virtual disks. To do this, you must first set to zero unused space within the OS itself invited, then turn off the virtual machine and run the vmkfstools command.

  • Portege M700 - DVD drive fails during the recording of discs

    Hello

    I tried the Disc Creator that came pre-installed and also Nero 9.2.6.0. All this on Vista 32 bit.

    The latter seems to have no idea about the problem, as it says smething like unknown failure.

    The creator of disc mentions error code 380381-26-BF040304.

    The problem occurs only at the beginning, I tried with three discs, so I don't think that the disks are the problem. In any case, they are DVD + R DL Verbatim and support up to 8 x, while the recorder goes only up to 4 x for the double layer, so I think I'm ok.

    My suspicion is that maybe the firmware in the DVD version needs update... He mentions Hw 1.00, 1.10 Fw. Other manufacturers of laptop as offer updated firmware DVD for her, but I couldn't find one of TOSHIBA.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon

    Hello

    There are several disks for Portege M700, they are compatible. Usually in the user manual, you can find a list of supported CD/DVD players they are pre-tested by Toshiba and work correctly.

    If you have any other questions about a new drive, ask the service provider authorized in your country. They can offer you a compatible player.

  • T520: low disk space on the workstation

    Recently, we purchased a few customers light t520, and already there are problems with disk space. I removed a few programs and added a few, but I haven't done anything unusual to increase the use of the disk. Ordinary forms do not help, disk cleanup gives me just a couple MBs to release. We have an application that requires .net 4.6 but now I can not install it because of disk space is low.

    The disc has a capacity of 16 GB, but Windows itself takes up almost all of it, and most seem to be located in the WinSxs folder. HP should not be selling these discs 16 GB so its barely enough for the Windows installation.

    Please tell us how to free up space on the disk.

    I got help elsewhere and told to delete everything in the folder Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/download released a few gigabytes, so I'm good for now. But still, it should come with at least 32 GB of storage.

    Hi Teltom1,

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Yes, you can have Windows XP and Windows 7 in dual boot on your computer.

    However, the first thing you would do is to check if Windows 7 can be installed on your computer. Check out the following link to search for the same thing.

    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - download - Microsoft Windows

    If so, you can create the necessary partition. Read the following article.

    If the DVD you have is Microsoft Vista DVD (retail or OEM System Builders DVD sales) that you have bought yourself that shouldn't be the problem with a repair installation, because they contain the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Information from Microsoft about this update error code points to the problems related to the Internet.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    I have a PS6100XV connected to my virtual host nine of 4 processor 64 Core.  Was super happy to live my VMs migration to this new server until I tried to save them.  I've lost hours trying to understand why the 2012 DPM could not make a backup.  I finally realized if I gave the volume of instant space in the end Equallogic backups work.  My question is this:

    What is the advantage of using the the Equallogic VSS?

    Can I disable VSS and have just DPM uses the one built into the operating system?

    What would you recommend for the most reliable solution?

    You can unsubscribe from the VSS EQL recorder.   Volume Shadow Service is asked to calm a disc, it uses the writer to determine who is the owner of this record.   find the EQL writer he will ask the Board to take a snap of HW.    You can unsubscribe from the writer to the CLI.   In my view, the command is located in the Administrator's guide.  If you are not decided by using snapshots, which would be the best option.

  • When you try to create the simple volume, I get "There is not enough available space on the disks to complete this operation." Even when there is obviously a lot of space.

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional in the last hour and was not able to create this partition during the installation.  Now that I'm in disk management.  It's showing I 73,24 GB of free space.  What I'm trying to do in the end, is to combine this with a partition already created.  One thing I find strange is anytime I go into "new simple volume" it tells me that the maximum space in MB is 74997 when the free space on the graph shows me only 73,24 GB.  I tried to create the size of the volume to 73000 MB and have also tried 10000MB and get to every time the same mistake!  "There is not enough available space on the disks to complete this operation."  What can I do to fix this?

    Your best bet is a third party partition manager.

    With the tools of Windows 7, you can only shrink and extend partitions, apart from the creation and deletion of them.

    Disk manufacturers quote their sizes of disc in decimal format. Windows Go are 2 ^ 10 or 1024 decimal MB. Then 74997/1024 is 73,24 GB.
