Sudden increase in the used space on my hard drive.

Without adding any new files or programs, used on my suddenly increased about 60 GB hard drive space. The space occupied by files have not changed, so it must be a duplication of the program files. How can I find and eliminate this duplication?

Thank you - problem solved.

Thanks for the comments and don't forget to mark this as resolved subject, future benefit of other users.

  • Why is the free space on my hard drive that is grossly exaggerated amoumt?

    An external hard drive

    If you have posted all the files in the Recycle Bin, the rest is probably shadow copy Volume. WIndows holds 15% of the volume for this.

    You can check the amount of space used with the VSSADMIN command.

    Open a command prompt by clicking on start > all programs > Accessories and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Hello

    I have replaced several hard drives on some laptops but I have never used any further papers of aluminum and I have no problem with the temperature.
    In my opinion, it is not necessary.
    The cooling modules must be able to manage the temperature of the HARD drive.

    You need a better tool to show what of really take your disk space, see the following article:

    http://Lifehacker.com/5915508/the-best-disk-space-Analyzer-for-OS-x

    That being said, the slow performance may not be due to insufficient disk space.  There are many things that can cause slow performance.  Run this tool and send the report in a response.  This is nothing more than a tool which collects what is running on your Mac and shows all the details.  This will help me to identify what could be the cause of the downturn.

  • 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.

  • I can never make a lot of space in my hard drive after back to the top

    I regularly save on a hard disk that is attached to Lightroom.  What I've noticed, is the amount of space that I have left is still declining.  After the backup, I used to have over 200 GB of the available MBP 768 GB retina, now, I rarely more than 100 GB.  At some point I'll have no space left at all.  I don't know that I'm doing things correctly.  I noticed that there are duplicate files when I export the. DNG my 645Z or. My A7RII ARW.  So I file raw in LR, the ARW and the .xmp that have been exported (I still name them).  My habit of the end to create more space on my hard drive is to find the .dng and .arw files in the finder, back up to an external hard drive and then remove them from my MBP.  I do not touch other files not named.  What I find good is that even with the hard drive attached, some files are displayed as missing picture.  I can remedy this with a cover of Time Machine, I did a time machine to the top until I backed up (something I always do) images in lightroom.

    Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  What is the best way to ensure that I have a lot of space?  I can't just buy new laptops all the time when I run out of space.  I save most of my images finished PSCC at the highest quality jpg, so the finished images that are not take total amount of space, but these are not archived on LR that I prefer to use the tag system which uses Mac.

    The best approach I've found is always import as of the segregation of records to your home. Make sure that these are backed up by time machine or another mechanism for backup and then if you are not actively using the images in a dated file more copy set in an external hard drive where you keep the same year and the date structure separated. Then in Lightroom, it is a simple case of right (or control), click the folder that you moved in the sidebar of library and select "update folder location" and that it points to the new location of the folder on the external drive. All your images must be accessible as long as external is attached. Now you can remove the folder from your internal hard drive and find space (don't forget to empty the trash).

    My main machine is a retina with a 256 GB drive and I easily maintain a 100 of 1000 image catalog Lightroom on it in addition to Photoshop and many other CC software I use (first for most). Most of my images and video life on a large RAID array, but my most recent images months living inside. Easily, you should be able to work with a 768 GB internal. You delete old backups of catalog in Lightroom? By default, Lightroom creates backups of the catalogues that makes every week or so next to the file catalog in a folder "Backups". You don't need to keep a large number of these backups autour. I usually keep only 2 or 3.

  • If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

    So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

    When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

    Not while you're still editing the project.  When you have completed the project and shared it and are sure that you do not want to do any editing more far, you can delete the whole project.

    If you do a significant amount of iMovie editing you really need to put your libray (ies) on a large external hard drive.  Another thing you can do is to divide your work between different libraries and move those that are not currently on a removable drive.

    Yes, you can remove the file from the imported image, if you have imported the image as managed.  IE preferences in ave Photos settled on "import: copy items to the photo library" being the default.

    Hello, manoj0910.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    Looks like you can't synchronize the pictures located on your external drive.  I need a little more information about your configuration to provide a better answer.  However, we will try to sync your photos through the section of the file through the article below.  You just need to direct iTunes to where your photos are stored on your external drive.

    If your photos are in a folder

    1. Select "Choose a folder" from the context menu.
    2. Choose the folder where you store your photos.
    3. Click on apply.

    You can arrange photos in subfolders to create photo albums.

  • I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

    I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

    You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

    Kind regards
