Vista automatically decreasing storage space

McDW"wrote in message...

I am aware that this issue has been addressed in many forums. However, I was unable to solve my problem of all the methods listed. My C drive capacity is 230GB and since last week, the storage space has been reduced to 22MB without added additional programs or downloaded. Currently, my programs total 6.7 GB I do not store or back up files on my C drive but to a portable player. I used "clean disk", "delete the shadow files and restore points" earned about 600 MB then next day observed a reduction of 44 MB. Have someone has a suggestion a) how to find the space that is not required, b) how to prevent or stop this situation.

Hello

see if this program helps you to determine what is taking place:

    Is - this hard drive internal or external?  (A backup is just replication, not a real backup, if it is connected to the same as the primary system.)

    If the Windows Vista backup solution has worked as it was supposed to - you would have filled the space like that.  Something was wrong.  Don't know what hand - but the built-in Vista backup isn't the way many people in order to safeguard their stuff for some reason.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to add external hard drive on the internal hard drive space. However, you can perform disk cleanup that can help you solve this problem.

  • storage space is 90% full. What steps should take?

    Hi all

    In my 'Users' database, storage space is 90% full. And automatic is activated. in this case I need to take action? and how long it will go I mean auto extend to unlimited (is it a limit that can stop auto extend on my system)


    Thank you

    If the data file is set to autoextend (files can autoextend, storage space only not autoextend) it will be autoextend to the documented maximum datafilesize of your unknown platform, usually 32 GB, or when the disk is full, whichever of the two. Depending on your backup and restore strategy, the data file is the smallest unit of restoration and recovery, then add another data file may be necessary.

    How to do this is still described in the Fine Manual for your unknown version, which is online at http://docs.oracle.com

  • Many storage spaces and data for each quarter of the year files

    Hello

    I am junior DBA and I have a question about tablespace partitioning or data file sharing.

    I have a database of 10g in many storage spaces, for example:

    KER_DATA_2009_Q1

    KER_DATA_2009_Q2

    KER_DATA_2009_Q3

    KER_DATA_2009_Q4

    KER_INDX_2009_Q1

    KER_INDX_2009_Q2

    KER_INDX_2009_Q3

    KER_INDX_2009_Q4

    There is also a data file for each tablespace that is mentioned.

    But for this year 2013, only two big storage space I can get one and data KER_DATA, KER_INDX files.

    All tables and indexes in the whole database are KER_DATA, KER_INDX, tablespaces.

    I don't know any cut in two storage spaces and means of data files. Is this something like tablespace partitioning? This can be done automatically or someone needed to do it manually on the end of each quarter?

    This should be done to improve performance, several small files data instead a large?

    Can some admin explain this to me?

    The reason for this separation of database/tablespace was partitioning. There are a lot of tables partitioned by date column, and there are partitions for each quarter of the year. There are tablespace with a data file for each quarter (partition).

  • Storage spaces for different size tables

    Hello

    I have a situation that everyone has probably, so I would go into more detail about this.
    Working with databases with different objectives, a single OLTP and OLAP one another, the two tables with different sizes... some with 1 M, some with 100 M and others with 150 G or more.

    Recommendation of the Oracle, so the suite all storage spaces are created in the form of LMT, but I don't know if I can put something else to optimize performance, such as reading or writing, once the databases have different objectives and therefore with different behaviors.

    If someone could help me how I should give attention, I really appreciate.
    The version of database can be regarded as 10g and 11g.

    Thank you.

    Alex

    No, really no need to worry about direct allocation tablespace in realtion to the performance of the queries. There are some operations such as the allocation of file extensions and tablespace performance impact scope object, but it can be difficult to see this. Just make sure your expandable size of file on the data files extension is large enough so that the next object needing another measure will also not wait as the file expand. With the maximum of a measure in a size auto-allouer tablespace is 64 M, a volume of measure G 1 file would be 16 degrees of object so 15 additional objects may expand (at this size) before a another file extension becomes necessary.

    What to do is determine if you want to count automatic sur-affectation to manage measurement of object allocations or to use uniform extensions so that each measure in the tablespace is the same size. If you use uniform extensions then you must make a choice of the same size for all or separate objects in small object and object of large size tablespaces and use a different scale for each size. Maybe 512K for small and 8 M wide. It's just a matter of how you want to manage your tablespace usage and growth.

  • Dcumentation for these storage spaces and the use of these storage spaces

    I looked in the documentation of concepts (oracle), but I'm not able to find the details for some of the underside of tablespaces. Can someone give me the link to the oracle documentation or other documentation to the underside of tablespaces.

  • storage space loser iPhones

    Hello-

    I'm in the IT Dept of my company.  We have several iphones everywhere in the company.  I have two specific users who have phones 16 GB.  It seems that since these two users have done the 9.3 update iOS, they lost all their storage space.  I was able to fix that backup to iCloud, reset the phone and restore.  The two returned to the neighborhood of 9 GB of available.  They both were doing the upgrade to 9.3.1 and it's the same thing.  From one day to the next, all the free space seems to have disappeared.  They gave me the phone and I did once more the thing backup and restore to recover their space (just did last week).  I just heard them today and they both lose the space quickly.  It disappeared completely and the other fell to 2 GB.  Nor said that they added something important for phones.  Looking at the space used in the storage to manage, add the number simply to zero.

    Nor has loaded the App Whatsapp.  Any thoughts on what could happen?  Both are models of the iPhone 6.

    Thank you-

    They use the flow of photos from iCloud, feature photo library or music Apple?

    If so, try disabling these features and see if the free space is always getting lost.
