the computer/local C drive. / Users/username/Appdata/local takes too much of my storage space what should I do?

Hello, I am using windows 7 Edition family, equipped with a 500 GB hard drive but about 270 GB of storage space has been taken by this hidden folder. disk of the local computer/C; / users/username/Appdata/local. I tried to delete it, but does not, the record is filled with subfolders named in alphanumeric format, as well as product keys, but all in blue fonts.

Please if anyone can tell me how to fix or remove this folder or even part?, I would be very grateful. Thank you

Folders that are labeled with long alphanumeric charactors are generally remenents for installations/updates that have not been cleaned (removed after the instalation successful)

If in Explorer not the properties for one of them shed some light?

Using third party maintenance utilities?

If you start in safe mode you are able to delete one of these files?

    This is the error I get whenever I boot windows and I think it may be related to a problem I was. Most of my prefrences recorded for windows is not in working condition (as my taskbar is not able to change the settings). I have scowered the interwebs for a response, even using Google and even * shudder * Bing. My Riddle has baffled many, can someone help out me?

    I have consulted the temp folder and this particular text file is not present. Maybe if I create a new one, it will work? I'm not to try it again, but if someone could confirm that I would be much happier!

    I don't know any reason that Windows must be looking for a text file to start.  You can create a file in this location, but I think it would be better to use the free Windows Sysinternals Autoruns tool to find and remove the reference to the file.

Press "Refresh" to see the current tasks. "So, under the active/current tasks, it says"Reading data failed", and no"i-configuration"task are. Using Regedit, (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\ASUS) the problem is that I can't find the i-Setupxxxxx, only (Standard), Id and Index.

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

    Please help me where to change configurations to create an application more in IPM.

    Jeff albert

    Hello

    Are you seriously having over 500 DEFINITIONS of FIELD Application of IPM? If so,.

    What you can do

    In the config.cfg to UCM (DomainHome/ucm/cs/config folder) can you add this in the general section:

    IpmMaxMetadataFields = 1000 (or any number you want to increase the)

    limit to)

    This will overrride the default max value in IPM.

    After this change, restart the managed server UCM and IPM.

    Please let me know the result.

    Note: I have a few performance problem in the future.
