System will not defragment because there is not enough free space. I did a disk clean up and cannot dump tons of recently deleted files.

Believe me, I tried to remove about preprinted text 10 times.  Maybe because I was working from an IPad it wouldn't let me.  I knew it would annoy people, SORRY.  I knew I was going to be loading a lot of info. on an old computer that is running window XP w / SP 3, so I started deleting old files and uninstalling old programs.  I guess I deleted a lot of things and now I can't defragment my hard drive.  There is a lot of memory, but because I can't defragment all of the things that I deleted, I only have 6% free space.  I downloaded a defragmentation. program and who has not really helped.  I ran a disk cleanup as well.  I don't get the other error messages that there is insufficient disk space.  I need to know how to get all the stuff to delete/uninstall on my hard drive, so I can have more free space.

Let us know if it would be useful info in this thread:

  • cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library

    cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in iTunes (required additional 194.8 MB) library.

    Not based on what? You have not provided any information as to the amount of space you have left and what is the total capacity of your iPad. He must leave a certain percentage of the free capacity at all times, so if you have a 32GB device and you are up to 2 GB of free storage, which could in fact be severed close... If it says you need to 194.8 MG of free space that would be in addition to the amount that you see as free space.

    It also depends on what you're trying to sync on iTunes as well. What content, apps, songs, etc.

    So... can provide you more details?

    I cleaned my recycling, did the reboot of my iPhone 5 s and my computer, disconnect all devices except iPhone and mouse, checked my security software (off), reset the lockdown folder.  Uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes 12.3.2.35.  No joy.

    The part is \Users\yourusername\appdata\roaming\apple computer\mobilesync\backup.

  • VMWare Fusion claiming there is not enough free space

    For some reason any VMWare Fusion I cannot expand my drive saying that there is not enough free space even if I almost free 100gbs. I am able to create a second virtual hard disk without problem.

    OSX VMWare 6.0.4 and 10.9.4. Thank you.

    You do not host disk space appropriate to perform a resize or move from a to a disk of type twoGbMaxExtentSparse monolithicSparse and your only option if you cannot release a sufficient amount of space host is temporarily copy the Package to the Virtual Machine on an external drive with enough free disk space to perform a resize or move from a to a disk of type twoGbMaxExtentSparse monolithicSparse and test that everything is correct before copy it back. You must also make sure you have a good backup before conversion of the type of disc or resize and Time machine is not a backup for virtual machines.  In addition, make sure that the virtual machine is stopped, not suspended and VMware Fusion is closed when you are backing up the VM or copy/move the virtual computer.

  • Cant' import images of Photos because "it is not enough free space on the volume of your library to import the selected items.

    Hey guys,.

    So I tried to import some ~ 8 GB of photos on my mac, but the Photos app gives me the following message: "there isn't enough free space on the volume of your library to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least X.XX GB of additional free space. »

    Where X.XX represents the amount of GB it says that I need but it changes everytime that I reopen the application to attempt an import.

    My mac has currently 44.4 GB so I don't know why this issue is coming.

    Any help would be great!

  • vshpere update utility not enough free space

    I'm trying to update my esxi 4 with the latest patches, but it keeps saying not enough free space

    the data store has 35 GB of free

    any help thanks

    I could be wrong of course, but it seems that you have a missing partition. Count the number of partitions and compare to what I posted. The VMKS is the data store. It has been reported here before. For some reason any partition was not created or it has been deleted. ESXi cannot be improved without this partition. At present the only work around is to reinstall. Since this is an installation on a hard drive, I think that you will need to do it from scratch. This means moving your virtual machines out of storage and then reinstalling ESXi. I remember that there was mention that there might be a fix in ESXi 4 U1, so you can wait until then. If anyone has more information please add your stuff.

  • Not enough free space of 30 MB for music DB problem.

    Hello

    I have had my Sansa clip now for 2 days, and I got this problem of "not enough free 30 MB DB music space". I can connect the device to the computer, I tried to reformat, I followed all the instructions in the other threads. I have no. luck what so ever.

    Things I've done. Device reformated. I tried the Sansa Firmware install (does not recognize that I got a sansa player plugged).

    All I see is a disc entitled Sansa Clip in my computer. Windows Media Player will not let me format (is dimmed).

    When the aircraft arrived there a lot of folders and files on it (which were visible on the computer), likely to help to exploit, but since the reformatting it now has none (obviously) is there any way I can download and install these files on it so he could run again?

    I can't access the device at all without a computer as this error happens, and then it turns off.

    Please someone at - it an option that I can not have tried yet?

    TIA.

    Okay I am so happy now... Finally managed to figure out the problem. One thing that I have not mentioned it I formatted the drive on a mac computer. I didn't think it was relevant because I also formatted with a PC just after and it made no difference. I have formatted the disc 20 times in different ways.

    I finally found the solution, and it was nothing I had read previously anywhere... I hope this helps.

    I went back to the Mac it was where I was thinking maybe the problem yet (it turns out it was).

    1. open disk utility with the connected Sansa.

    2 choose the Sansa Clip and went to the Partition.

    3 selected 1 Partition (called the Sansa Clip).

    4. click on 'Options '.

    5 selected the Master Boot Record (that's the problem, we must define otherwise will not work).

    6 Hi OK then apply. Disconnect... Hey presto, everything works fine now.

    Really really hope it helps someone else too. As I said, I have not seen any other threads with this class so if you had a problem like this on the mac then it will hopefully save your clip too.

    Another issue is that the download kept getting interrupted at random, and once the Adobe Download Assistant had crashed on me...

    Hello

    I used to have a 32 GB iPhone that I saved. Today, I have a newer iPhone is 16 GB. I'm trying to restore the last backup from the old to the new. I opened the backup from the Finder file and its size is 20 GB. How to remove the photos and videos that upward in order to reduce the size and get this backup on the new iPhone? Is there a way to tell iTunes restore backup without photos and videos?

    You can not change the way that iTunes restores the backup of a unit. Since you now have a smaller device, you will not be able to restore the new feature of the older device. Your only choice would be to configure the device as new and then synchronize your content individually on the device, such as mail, contacts, calendar, etc...
