Virtualized temporary Internet Files eat up disk space. How can I stop this?
Have encountered a problem of memory on my C drive and the holding of all recommendations usual cleaning only manages to free a few hundred MB. My hard drive is partitioned into a C and an E drive (each with 116 GB). I use Vista and Internet Explorer. (As far as I know, this is not a problem of RAM and my computer to not walk slowly.)
The number of programs and files on my C drive not could represent almost 116 GB of memory, but I could find no other possible reason for my low disk space... until...
I went to the guest orders and managed to do list all in the C drive. Then I spotted a directory which seems to contain a HUGE 94 GB of memory on the C drive. The exact name/address was as follows: C:\users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\FLVService. The list of files in this directory have been mainly youtube and almost all the other videos I've seen last year! (This folder does not appear in Windows Explorer.)
Then, these videos are stored in virtual memory? They take place that much space? (The term 'virtual' throws me a bit). I can delete this file safely and how? And, finally, how to stop what is happening yet?
So, thank you for reading this far and I would be really grateful for any help on this matter.
Kevin.
What problem you encounter when you try to delete the files? FreeCorder has some options, you can use to purge or otherwise control the cache / repository it uses? That seems to be the easiest way to get rid of files and recover disk space. Otherwise, uninstall (and reinstall maybe later) may present you with an option to clear the cache, the program uses.

Since the installation of creative cloud, I noticed a lack of disk space, recently I found CC had been storing GB of log files, how can I stop this nonsense? 40 GB of space on my SSD HARD drive was recovered today by disabling the 8.1 windows temp folder.

Original title: Registery Error Message
During startup, I get an error message that the registry database cannot find a file and modify registry to delete the reference to the file in the registry. How can I do this?
Hello
- What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
I recommend you perform the clean boot.
Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

I am running windows 7 Edition family and help IE 10.
Whenever I turn on my external hard drive Seagate free agent desk, to back up my files, it immediately starts to import all my files that I have to stop manually.
How can I stop this from happening?
It is not is not likely to import the files. What is more likely is that autoplay scans the drive to see what media are on to determine what are the options to propose to use the drive.

Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters. How can I stop this?
Hi John -.
It seems that no one has answered your question. Sorry for the long wait!
Squares can replace characters when you're dealing with missing fonts, or who are poorly integrated. It is important to see the text, you can ask the person creating the document to convert the PDF image pages PDF file, which then displays the fonts.
Places instead of the characters may appear if you are using a scanned page, for example and capture the text.

I can't find files because hyphens prevent the word search. It's really a lot of time to go back and change the names of all the renders that I do for web pages. I don't use dashes, when I type in the name of the file that I save. How can I get him to stop to change the names of my files?
In the save for Web > Output Settings > saving files uncheck Unix under file name compatibility and see how it works.
According to me, the other settings in the backup section files concern when we record slices.

I hope that you actually talk to a partition that you created with files inside that needs more space.
quite well why the scores should not be used on small hard drives...
You can use the free mini tool to adjust the size of existing partitions.
Moving data like this is risky so back up the hard drive first.

Airplane mode resumed my internet for several weeks, then stopped working. No internet service. Said the repair man when the airplane mode takes longer, sometimes internet service cannot be restored. Why is-mode plane capable of replacing my internet service? How can I avoid this?
Hi there @Carolyn42,
Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! I read your message on the HP Support Forums and see that you are having problems with the airplane Mode. You mentioned that the phone automatically goes into airplane Mode.
I'd be happy to help you. If none of the steps I provide in this post help you solve the problem, please indicate this post as one acceptable Solution to another with the same question can find the solution.
I found a document for you called airplane Mode a Forums Post on the Microsoft Community website called Airplane Mode will not turn off - WiFi will not start-up. TracyDillon on the post on the Forum said, "I have a button wifi real on top of the right side of the keyboard after F12, I pressed on that and off airplane mode and then allowed me to turn on the wifi (I did it manually)." And I'm on! "
Here is another post from the Microsoft Community Website. This one is called hp wireless button mode "change airplane".
After restarting the laptop you should not have flight Mode more.
Please re-post with your model number (How can I find my model number or product number?) If you need help, and I'd be happy of this issue of research for you more far. Please show your appreciation by clicking on the thumbs up button.
Thank you for posting!
Have a great day!

What is this file: owner/local settings/temp, it fills as soon as I put everything in the trash. At the moment there are 2743 files it contains.
Hello
Temporary files are created by Windows that remain on the hard disk due to an irregular output of a Windows session.
Some programs create temporary files and then leave them - they do not delete. This can happen because the program crashed or the developer of the program simply forgot to add the necessary code to delete the temporary files after the program is done with them. Temporary files left by the programs accumulate over time and can take up a lot of disk space.
You can delete temporary files from the computer to improve the performance of the computer. Follow the article to the same thing:
Hope the helps of information.
