Very large log file C:\ running out of space

Hi all

We're going to have a problem with our VCenter server runs low on resources. The hard drive is partitioned in C: and D: drive. The C: folder had only 5 MB of free space on it.

We did some surveys looked at the SQL logs, which were very small, but in the directory where the databases are stored, we saw a single file in there called ' ESX - Vmotion_Log.LDF' which is 75 GB in size.

Does anyone know it's important or if it is safe to delete it to free up space on our C:\ drive?

Thank you

HM, thatts certainly a Log in SQL Server. Is there a database using this name in your SQL?

Kind regards

Gerrit Lehr

  • How can I remove my photos from my iPhone while keeping in iCloud? because I'm running out of space on my iPhone.

    How can I remove my photos from my iPhone while keeping in iCloud? because I'm running out of space on my iPhone.

    I want to keep all my photos in iCloud. I want to remove some of them from my iPhone 4 (IOS 8) in order to free up space on my iPhone. How can I do this? Thanks for help.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    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

    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.

  • I have a 150 GB hard drive, but only 30 GB is on C: and 120 GB is on D. How to access free space because I'm running out of space on C

    The order of 150Gb 120 GB is coming as a system d (Data), leaving only 30 GB system c which means that I am running out of space. Can I access or connect C to D to allow the hard drive to operate as a whole

    Go to run, type: diskmgmt.msc

    Msc, L.click on drive D:, go to actions, all, select 'Enable', close

    the msc. To add type of 3rd party software/programs, you need to uninstall

    first of all, then reinstall to D:

    In addition, music, video, photos go D: drive.

    To combine the two partitions, you'd need to boot from the cd to install xp to the menu

    Press r for recovery console, recovery, type: DiskPart in DiskPart, remove

    both partitions, create one, press the key type, ESC: EXIT cd restarts, format &

    Reinstall xp.

  • Windows 7 pagefile when my c: drive runs out of space

    I've seen this discussed many times in various places, but the answer are misleading, especially in the non-Microsoft forums

    As mentioned, my Win7 system drive is running out of hard drive space, but I have a spare bedroom in the second partition of drive. Note: This notebook has a single hard drive, so the second partition is also part of the same hard drive.  Please, do not discuss clean my drive "c:" here. I did everything I could to delete (or move) the unwanted programs, move my e-mail storage location, reassign location for any other large files such backup itune Apple etc.

    Suppose I want to do re-partitioning, here are the questions:

    (1) 2 files of pages in 'C: drive' and the second in the other partition, will be any good?

    I ask this question because there are different answers here and there a.

    (2) if having 2 partitions is good it's a question of adding two sizes together to make sure that it is comparable to the recommeded size by Windows?

    Say that my laptop has 2 GB of RAM.  The size recommended by Windows is 3009 MB (1.5 times)

    I intend to address my original size / max in C: 2048/2048. If the answer is Yes, this means I must assign 1024/1024 as the initial/max size in the second partition.

    (3) assumed that it works by adding up the sizes.

    I feel better using the diagram above (2048 + 1024) compared to the use of (1024 + 2048, 1024 k in 2048. primary, secondary partition).

    Does it really give some differences?

    Thanks for the time.

  • Running out of space on my MacBook!

    I recently started running out of room on my macbook pro, so I noticed that about 100 g of memory re absorbed by "others". I was wondering if there was a way to delete some to make room. Thank you!

    Here is the definition of the OTHER:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202867

    Download the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. Transfer to an external HARD disk or remove files, that you no longer want on your MBP.

    Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated for the new data.

    According to your MBP model, you may be able to install the storage up to 2 TB of capacity that could alleviate your storage problem.

    Ciao.
