• How to move user folder of SSD to HDD Windows7 Pro 64 bit on a unused computer newly built

  I just finished building a new computer based on a Gigabyte GA - Z77N WiFi mini motherboard with a processor i5-3570, 16 GB of memory and a 128 GB SSD OCZ and 3 x WD 2 TB HDD green. I want to keep the operating system, programs on the SSD but unload the user accounts, my music, Documents, videos, data, etc., other readers. Also, I could be persuaded to consider buying Windows8, if that's easier to install, as I didn't buy Windows 7 software again

  The safest option is to use the option to set the location of each of the libraries. Although the profile would remain in the C:\Users folder the mylibraryname can be moved.

  Open the users folder (double-click the user name in the upper right of the Start Menu) right-click on each folder and select Properties. With these directories that support this feature, one of the tabs should be the place, he has the opportunity to move the folder. She will also take care of the move for the files in the folder as well as internal links sort in the folder. I have an SSD in my laptop and have used this option to move my library of music 120 GB on the HARD disk. Not all folders in the user profile has this option but the keys don't.

  This is not a complete solution because the hidden AppData folder cannot be done in the same way, and this can become very large. If you use Outlook, you can move the .pst file manually, and if you want to really technical HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList contains the path to the Users directory.

• I have a 7 GB of HDD in XP, there very few applications and no photo or music, but after cleaning everything I could think of, still 10% free space. Help, please.

  I have a 7 GB of HDD in XP, there very few applications and no photo or music, but after cleaning everything I could think of, still 10% free space. Help, please. I deleted all the old temporary files, all the old restore points, all files update of Windows that have been applied, but still can't below 10% free space. The unusual thing only I see, the defragmentation runs (when I force him) but still shows 62% of file Fragmentation?    Any help would be appreciated... Thank you.

• The file system on which "/ Users/SterlingButters/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp.vmwarevm' lies is very low on free space."

  I get the following error message when I try to start my VM and I don't know why, I have repaired permissions and I have about 50 GB of spare on the partition. It was great to work for a long time and the only thing I can think of, that I have done before, was until I started getting the error message I mounted the BootCamp partition and moved the files into it, then dismantled. I looked towards the top of the topic online and don't have much, (I usually are not) then I came to the experts for help. So, really, I just need to be able to start up in my VM without the error message, THANKS!

  This error has nothing to do with Boot camp as far as I know. Your mac partition is running out of free space. To resolve this issue, you must first remove file from Mac partition.

  For starters, I wud you suggest to empty the trash., remove files from the downloads folder. delete the old files, movies, music, photos etc... choice is up to you.

  Please launch disk utility (/ applications/utilities) and check the free space of Mac HD.

• Satellite C660-1PH - poster HDD free space

  Hello

  I ve noticed the last days 'windows C: partition' my drive shows different free space without any download/install

  For example, I got 104 GB free, then the next day he showed 100 GB free and then suddenly he returned 104GB. It happened with different values of another day, he just changed unexpectedly.

  This could be the cause? The hard drive is faulty?

  Thank you

  Did you recently do disk cleanup?

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76073-disk-cleanup.html

  The tutorial is really made up of 2 parts:

  From #1 to #11 on "ordinary" disk cleanup This will give you in disk space.
  #12 at the end is on more Options. It is mainly to erase all of your points except the most recent restoration. This will give bring you a ton of disk space. There is a downside to this. You have more 'old' restore p [stated to fall back until several restore points are created. So make sure that your computer works correctly before you use more Options.

  Another suggestion would be to install CCleaner.
  It's a free program and it will help you to remove unnecessary files and recover disk space.
  I use it regularly.
  Attention, do not touch the registry option.

• Manual backup for PC. message "there is not enough free space.  My last backup is 1.3 GB, 124 GB available, without encryption.

  Manual backup for PC. message "there is not enough free space.  My last backup was 1.3 GB, four weeks ago.   My disc is 256 GB total with more than 162 GB available.  I do not use encryption. I am running windows 10 with 4 GB of memory system, iOS 9.2.1 and iTunes 12.3.2.35.  The only thing that has changed to realIy is the latest update to iTunes. I found this page and tried the steps.

  If you are unable to make a backup of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support iTunes

  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.

  I can do the manual backup on the PC of my wife, and she has more than 500 GB of available and uses the same version of iTunes, but on Windows 7.  Any ideas?

  Is the part of the computer which, by default, stores the backup on a smaller partition by accident?

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

  If this is not the case, the other thing I guess try would be to temporarily move the backups that exceed in this folder there and test if the prior backup is the problem of not being able to back up now.

• I ran out of free space on the hard drive how can I free up space

  My pc is freezing or locking up when I run a desktop wallpaper animated, so I defragment a saw that I was up to 20% freespace

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• Can not defragment lecteurC - needs 15% free space. What else can I remove or delete?

  I can't defragment my disk hard because I need 15% free space and have only 12%.  It is a Dell Dimension 2300, aged about 10 years.  I run Disk Cleanup and delete everything I can think and moved large files on an external hard drive. When I go into Add/Remove Programs, I see things that take a lot of space, but I don't know what I can delete.  Can I remove old Service Pack updates or together should they stay?  What can I do else? Help!

  Your report raises a number of problems. You will need to apply to each of them in turn.

  You have three user accounts created. Andrealynn, the Animal and JoJo. This means that when run you disk cleanup you must login as each user in turn and run Disk Cleanup to remove unwanted files. I have already mentioned cCleaner. This will clean all at once.

  I think you should look at unwanted desktop shortcuts.

  Outlook Express is another source of wasted space.

  You must empty the deleted items folder. Right click on the deleted items folder, and then select "empty folder deleted items.

• Slowly reduced free space

  I have a question that I hope that people can help you with. I use it on a Mac and do not know if that has anything to do with my question. I have a 1 GB that has worked well for me. I noticed that free space got smaller. It was probably a gradual thing. I use this mainly for podcasts. I add every day for my travel and remove what I heard the next time it is plugged in. I of course use the music folder. I figured that my space became smaller and smaller, so I deleted everything in the music folder. I don't have any record on the device. I would have more than 900 MB, but show only about 400 MB of free space. I'm guessing that there is some kind of blocked files. I would clean the slate unit or understand how to find data that are hidden to remove. I was surprised that I couldn't find this question in the forum. Someone at - it assistance to me?

  The Clip can be set in two modes: PSG (music machine) and MSC (USB key). A computer can only see files in one mode at a time. By default, the Clip is set to auto range mode: it will try the first MTP mode and then rescue the Canada meteorological service. So, depending on which computer you connect, it can use a different mode each time.

  In the Clip menu, try to go into ' settings > USB Mode ', select 'MTP' and connect to your Mac. The Clip should show up as a device and you can check his files. Disconnect then, go back to "settings > USB Mode ' and select the 'MASTER' mode this time. When you reconnect, the Clip will be displayed as a simple player with a different set of folders and files.

  If this does not help, you can also try a Format from the settings menu to remove everything.

  EDIT: I don't know if it's relevant, but I found this message from a user Mac with a similar problem. Seems that the Mac records a few hidden files starting by ".". _ ».

• Create more free space in C drive

  Can I delete ~DF2831.tmp and similar files in the user/user/AppData/Local/Temp folder to create more free space in C drive?

  Rather than doing these cleanups manually, I suggest to you that use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool. Please see:

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Delete-files-using-Disk-Cleanup .

  Make sure that your backups are up to date before proceeding as a precaution.

  You can check the amount of space allocated for system restore points.  The system restore point brought the file size can be larger than necessary and could keep the restore points created when Windows updates come through and devours your file space.  It is interesting to watch in any case just to be safe.  I had this problem and changed by reducing the allotted file space in the system restore folder/file.

• May not know what is in my user folder

  I have Windows 7.  The size of my "User" folder is 12.3 GB (audit 'properties') with 35 000 + files & 2850 + records.  But when I look at all the individual files within my user folder, there are very few files & still nothing close to a concert.  I'm trying to free up space on my C drive I'm looking for things to delete or move.

  You're right about the mail: he keeps an extra local copy so that you can always read your emails, even if you don't have a connection to the internet (more as a backup and faster access full).  It is totally up to you how you want to keep, you can set it to not keep much downloaded.

  The Windows folder may be large, because that's where all the updates and even things like system restore backups are.  Honestly, I think I would make good use of the built-in cleaning program.  To use it effectively, you will need to do it twice: here's how:

  1. Hold the Windows Logo and type R to open the run.  Run the cleanmgr command to open the cleaning tool.
  2. In the tool, select the items you want to delete and click OK.
  3. Repeat step 1 and this time click on "clean up system files" and repeat.  You will notice that the list has more options to clear this time.  But before you click OK, also look on the additional tab at the top and you will also erase some things like the old restore points.
