Updates eat up a lot of space?

I always download the updates. I was just embarrassed by the size, the updates - some updates are as large as 200 MB. These updates take up a lot of space in my laptop? What can I do to make sure that the old updates are deleted on my computer?

Updates take the space they need. Do not think that to destroy never updates. There is nothing called old updates. If you remove an update, you will be asked to download the same update again.

If you have vista, you see these

  • 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.

  • Clones using a lot of space

    I expect this post here until I place a call to VMware. My linked clones seem to use a lot of space of SAN. I redial every two weeks, because I see my LUN put below 40 GB of free space. I have a GB 325 ONE of my clones. I have approximately 65 clones.

    I use a ONE of my clones and a LUN, separated from my lines and another unit number logic for P-drives (2GB). This is why I can't explain why my CLONE lun uses as much space. If I look at virtual desktops, some use 6 GB, 8 GB, up to 12 GB!

    I use a 4 GB also available with each vdesktop drive. I thought that if I don't do that, then all temporary files go to the P-drive and which fills up quickly. I thought the disposable disc is removed on logout?

    If I update one of the desktop computers that uses say 8 GB, it comes down to a little more than 1 GB, which makes sense, because this particular machine use 1 GB of ram, so there is a 1 GB swap file.

    Users installing not applications on the vDesktop, Windows Update is disabled. The only thing is antivirus dat get pushed.

    thoughts?

    The first disc, a small view that creates who holds QuickPrep configuration data and other data based on the OS that must be preserved during the refresh and recompose operations.

    The second disc, if I'm not mistaken, is where the view creates the right snapshot once the clone is created.  As far as I know it is used to help speed up the refresh operations.

    The third and last disc you have listed is where the differential data is stored.  This is data that are different from what is stored in the replica.

    I want my pictures to download on my iCloud but I don't want all my previous photos on my phone because there are just a lot of space and I have run out of space. Can I disable the download of photo sharing but allow for photo streams to make this or how can I make this happen? I just want to still my photos go to my Mac and iCloud so I can have my photos without danger...

    Thank you

    N °

    iCloud is a synchronization service, NOT off of storage of the unit.

    You could cut the phone out of sync from your library. Just move them to your Mac and synchronize your Mac with iCloud. Now, you'll have plenty of space on your phone, but no pictures.

    From your Mac, you can then make an album with photos that you want to access from your phone. This will require ongoing work, but will keep your clear phone in most of the time.

  • Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.

    The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin

    No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

  • When updates are performed on the computer, they take a lot of space. Why the ancients are not deleted?

    All updates.

    The update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.

    Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.

    After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.

    So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
    in Windows XP.

    This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

  • Update to SP3 run out of space in C drive, now what?

    I have a Dell Pentium 4, which incidentally, this information is no longer present in my system since update properties to SP3, but it does not show that I am running Windows xp SP3. Because it is my understanding that XP will no longer support unless I am running SP3, I felt that I had to make room for the update. I had problems due to lack of space in my C drive, so I transferred all the files I thought I needed from my external hard drive, including Windows, programs, etc., I removed my programs Office and Word, to make room after the transfer or copying the files. Now, I have so many files in my external hard drive that I don't know if I need or not, but I can deal with it later. As I updated to SP3, my printer is more communicating with my computer, and the message is that the Windows logo testing to verify its compatibility with XP has passed. I launched the program compatibility Wizard to find out why this printer that I have had since I bought the computer was more inconsistent, but when the wizard will ask you to click on the o/s I am running, it does not show 'Windows XP' option, only 95,98, nt4 and 2000 are listed as options. I have an or so of these operating systems in an old drive is fixed, installed by my brother in law when I arrived to this computer. I needed it because I had led a company in this operating system and used the info. from time to time. I do not really use it more I can get rid of him? I could copy it to a cd for the record-keeping. I also tried to update the drivers, but it didn't work because he can't find a better solution than that what is already.
    After following all the links to the endless trails of rabbit, I tried to download "FixIt". I removed my printer, my Java and my WAA player to leave the place to install this promising program and Yes, it is installed! However, it does not complete the action when I try to run it. Now, my computer is old but has lots of features and room for improvement and growth, even if it has only 2.5 GB of RAM. I would like to know if I can solve this problem, if I remove SP1 or SP2 to get more space and I can always go to Dell and buy more Go to add. I did in the past, but I don't know if it made a difference all that I know is that he worked for a while. Also, I need to know if I need to reinstall my Windows xp, how it will affect the SP2 and SP3 updates? Help, please!

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.
