The c: / is almost full, why?

original title: c almost out of space of disk ;(

Hi everyone who wants to read this and hopefully help out me! Ive been trying to figure out how to delete things I don't need, but im afraid of because that I don't really know if I need it or not! I'm not very good at this stuff! How can I know which files I can get rid of those who I really need? I already have the red line on the c drive and I hate it, because I don't want to lose everything in my computer, I? What can I do about it? I can't afford to go buy a space for her, if I couldn't anyway, I'm not even sure about that! im running windows vista! Thank you

You may want to transfer some data, images or documents on removable media
as the key USB, USB external drives (my choice) or even CD/DVD (to several
If the use of these copies).

External USB drives are not that expensive and they can really help to free up disk space
on the internal disks.

I hope this helps.

  • VMWare Fusion makes a break from the virtual machine because the disk is almost full.

    Is I myself am sitting at my computer this morning, I saw a message that says the guest system Windows XP Pro on my Mac Mini has been suspended.  Here is the message:

    "VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

    I can't find a way to shut down Windows to resize hard disk space allocation.  I tried the Virtual Machine menu, but all the shut down/put off the power points are grayed out.

    Any ideas out there?

    You must read the message!

    BTW if force you the VM to the bottom you may corrupt the virtual system hard disk and or the VHD file and you need to just do as the message says and free up space on the OS X hard disk even if you temporarily move a few things on an external hard drive so that you can then reactivate the Virtual Machine and continue on the it.

  • Can not find why the startup disk is almost full

    I got the message "Boot disk almost full" and began to go through the folders. I did an EEG info on my user folder and it says 240gig, my drive is only 250 gig. But when I go through each subfolder that I can't find anything even close to that of grand. I deleted everything that I don't need but can't find where this huge amount of file space is used.

    Simple answer - don't count on the Finder.

    The Finder hides just pieces of the file system that are not relevant for most users.

    When there is only a big gap between what the OS reports is used (240GB) and what you see in the Finder, is most often due to some errant logging process that fills the system logs, with mostly useless data.

    You can view the logs (and other 'hidden' data) using the Finder go-> go to folder... menu and entering: / var

    You can also use /Applications/Utilities/Console.app to view the logs to see if you can identify what process is at fault.

  • The D drive is almost full, 255 MB of available space on 20.3 GB (newly purchased)

    Hello

    I just bought a computer laptop 4 GB on August 12, 2012. I didn't save much even in my "D drive" However, it shows, that it is almost full. Its total capacity is 20.3 GB and the total available space is now only 255 MB. I really wonder why. I wish to request responses from you guys.

    Thank you in advance.

    PS Please see below the screenshot of the State of the D drive.

    Sincerely,

    Rain

    Hi rain,

    You certainly shouldn't have to store all the files in this score - it's supposed to be just large enough to contain the files required to reinstall the operating system without generating a "Low disk space" error  Storing something else here can cause the recovery to fail process, they must be removed as described in the link in my previous post.

    If you want to back up your personal files, a good option is to buy an external hard drive and store them here.

    Kind regards

  • I have Windows Vista - I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full. How can I transer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room to the left?

    I have Windows Vista.  I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full.

    How can I transfer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room?    Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but you cannot move the D: Partition recovery or its contents; It will not work if you do.

    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.

    See you soon.

    Hello PhilipTanams,

    You will not be able to move the files to the C: drive on another drive Windows. All Windows files must be in the C: drive.

    Method 1:

    If you have personal files or data, you can move these files to another drive that increases the size of the C: drive by adding
    Method 2:

    If you have any other partition which has an empty space in it, you can extend the C: drive by adding the empty spaces to the C: drive.

    See the links to find out how to extend the partition of drive.

  • I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium. After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full.

    I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium.  After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full.  I'm no computer guy, I'm a retired OTR trucker who now lives for people with disabilities.  I checked my system and found Lenovo had two partitions on the hard drive.  The main logic were my programs were only 30gig on a disk hard 150 gigabytes.

    After talking to some friends who know more then me and research, I copied all my personal files on a stick to 4gig and erased the hard drive.  Spent New Years day adaptation of files, wipe the HD, install Vista again and then 6 and hours of updates.

    Monday, I installed my old files, installed new software and reinstall some of my previous, as well as several updates of Windows.

    Tuesday a finer adjustment and more windows updates.

    Today, Wednesday, right off the bat I installed another Windows update.  Update has been installed, computer shut down, restarted, then the computer stopped at step 1 of 3 @ 97%.  I went for half an hour to come back to an error screen telling me I had a corrupted file and to reinstall Vista and using my factor disc repair system.  I wasn't allowed this option.

    I subsequently through trying different restarts that File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe has been corrupted or damaged or missing Windows update attempt.  Given that I had my Windows disk that I was never worried before making a boot disk.  I/we (family of 6) do not have the financial means to purchase recovery discs, go to a tech help.  We are ourselves.  Can someone help me out here?  Are all my personal details on my laptop, a lot of money and time tied up in programs, I can't access.

    I don't know how this forum works.  My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    P. S.

    With all this, if I have to reinstall windows I better upgrade to a 32-bit on a 64-bit?  This will cause problems with existing programs? I see a noticeable improvement in speed?  I checked and I can't change to 64-bit.
