  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • How to solve "disk space is full" problem downloading the apps in Creative Cloud Packager

    Hi all!

    I have recently started using Creative Cloud Packager and started my first package.  I gave instructions to download on my Local D drive (which has 200 GB free) and he began successfully, but about a third of the way through it stops and some of the apps have a warning icon and the error "disk space is full, please remove the space and try again.  However my D drive always shows 200 GB free which means that it is not download on there at all and also that it is the space!

    Is there a cache location to download which can be full or does it download directly on the folder I have loaded?

    Can anyone advise on the best way to solve this please?

    Thank you

    Hi James,

    The cache folder is set in preferences, under the "Welcome" menu drop-down menu.

    Hi Kirin, for more information on the other category in the view of storage , see this support article.

    There seems to be a bug in the about this Mac Look storage tab > system report > storage. It's probably different.

    Omni DiskSweeper can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper. But beware, some items may be important for your system.

  • Need more disk space to run virtual machines on R710 server with no available drive slots

    Hello

    We have a server R710 with five $2.5 146 each and three 600 GB SCSI disks SCSI.  We have no more slots.

    We want another 2-4 TB of space.   This server is used to run virtual machines to test software applications.  We have need for decent speed, but more important still need a cost-effective solution for running virtual machines.

    The budget would be in the $1000 range give or take.  I might be able to get $3000, but a $10,000 would be too.  We could consider removing disks from 146 GB 5 and replacing them with those larger, but that might not be the first choice.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    What you ask for is really difficult to do within the budget without sacrificing important performance (from what you have right now in performance).

    Any external storage solution (Dell) is out of the question for $3 k (think MD1200/1220).

    The market, 2.5 "drives max out at 1 TB at 7200 RPM, 900 tr/10 k or 300 GB @ 15 k RPM.

    Dell has disks 1 to 7200 RPM 2.5 "company (for PowerEdges) for ~ $440 (see here). These are not the best choice if you want any kind of good performance.

    You might look into upgrading to 900GB 10 k rpm drives. These run $799 each today on the Dell website (see here).

    If you replace one of the 146 both each and let rebuild you could then use the extra space to another virtual disk. This would give about 2800GB.

    If you can't budget 5 of them, according to the current setup of raid, you can watch a backup and restore of the virtual disk of some 146.

    You could:

    -use 2 of the existing 146 in raid 1 for operating system and the extra space

    -use 3 x 900 in raid 5 (which would give a crude 1800 (Go so ~ 1674 usable))

    -Use the 3 600 existing RAID 5 (which would give ~ 1116 GB usable)

  • Bad backup period what windows drivers backup disk space

    I have exactly the same question as http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/backup-dates-in-dialog-wrong/1a6ee4ed-adf1-4441-b847-1cf68a21c004. Since we are six years later now, I thought that I would ask him once again.

    When I click on manage space in the backup window, I get a list of backups that are labeled with, frankly, unusable dates. The screenshot below shows backup period "2015/12/12 to 12/12/2015. This is false, because the full backup was taken on 12/10. 12/12, I ran backup once again, leading to an incremental backup.

    The backup location is a Samba share on my home network. Outside the dates wrong, I got no problems manufacturing or management of backups.

    Yet, the wrong date can be very confusing. Is there any solution for this?

    Hi Bernd,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I wish to inform you that the period of time will reflect the date on which you make the last backup. It will not show you the last date on which you made the previous backup. Although it will be incremental backup files. You will have all the files that you have saved previously and with the current date save new files is added to the rear folder where you have all your old backup of documents.

    Let us know if you need additional information. We will be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

  • p2v hard when disk space allocation

  • iCloud Photo - need more disk space on my MacBook

    This is my first post, so I sorry if it's really obvious, but I have some don't search online but cannot find an answer to my problem. I hope you guys can help.

    Ok. Here's my problem. My Macbook Pro has a 250 GB hard drive and is now complete. I noticed by iPhoto library is 90 GB. Ideally, I want this 90 Go back if by saving my pictures on an external drive. I would then download the entire library to iCloud Photo so I could access it from my iPhone / iPad / MackBook Pro when I don't have access to the external HD at home. Is this possible?

    I signed up for 200 GB of space iCloud and turned on iCloud Photo. About 700 MB of downloaded photos, but that's all up to now that no more have downloaded. Why the entire library do not download?

    Ideally, I want all 90 GB stored in the cloud, so I'll switch to 90 GB library on my laptop on an external drive to keep a safe backup who will give me the 90 GB back. Then if I take pictures on my iPhone in the future they go straight to the cloud and takes all the space on my MacBook Pro HD / iPhone / iPad. Also I added content not iPhoto to my library, it will be stored on the external hard drive and also upload to the cloud.

    Any thought or is - is not going to work. Any help much appreciated.

    90 GB will take a long time (weeks) to download. Are you being just can't wait?

  • What is needed when mail app freezes

    Write an e-mail window is open and is frozen.  Will not cancel or send.  Mail is locked in this position.  How to get out of this?

    Try a forced reboot: hold down the House and on the buttons until the unit turns off. Ignore the cursor off if it appears. Once completed, if it does not start on it own, turn off power with the key On. In some cases, it also contributes to double click on the Home button and close all applications before restarting, if possible.

  • Hard disk space is down on its own without adding files or programs.

    original title: reduction of disk space

    My hard disk space is down without my add files or programs. I deleted the files, and after a while, I get the message that I'm out of space disk yet. I ran the windows disk cleaner, but the question is not what I need more disk space - is my drive space decreases continuously. For example, yesterday I got 4.89 GB free, today, I 4.80 - without adding anything to my computer. Any suggestion for what can happen and how to fix this?

    Another minor issue I have is that sometimes windows does not start correctly and I can't open any programs after implementation - in this case, I just restart and it works usually then. Don't know which is related to the question of good memory, but maybe it is?

    I am running Windows Vista Business SP2 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X 61.

    Sounds like you have * something * create journals. Try a number of things, first off this program to see if you can find out where your space is being taken.

    Once you find out where to try and understand what is the cause. You can consider that you have some kind of virus/malware on your computer. Try to run Malwarebytes in safe mode and see what he says.

  • What does the red exclamation point and which would prompt me to now have more free disk space?

    It was getting my full disk space. Up to 1.2 GB to 73 GB. I removed some unnecessary files and programs up to 4.6 GB. Last night my internet was running very slow and I got a message that says that my disk space is full. I went to the Explorer, who intends to seek more to remove offline. To my surprise, it showed that I have 38 GB of free space. At the same time however, some (not all) of my desktop icons now have a red exclamation mark on them. There are some that are shortcuts, jpg files and doc files. That means the red exclamation that tempt me to now have more free disk space?

    I would just be guessing really. He could have files, online backup was queued up. It may be something to do with the shadow copy of Volume. If I use cleaning disc with the option all users and delete restore Points and shadow copies on the tab "More options", I'll be back about 15 GB on a disc of similar size. The effect is only temporary, until they accumulate again.

  • The amount of available disk space keeps fluctuating.

    I returned from more than 20 GB of space available Tuesday to 2 MB Wednesday, up to 702 MB, up to 100 KB, then back to 200 MB. Is this a virus? I ran several scans of varioud virus and nothing was found, but I see no other reason for the significant loss of disk space. I am running XP with Norton as my antivirus.

    Hi LostinCyberSpaceMD,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. What is the correct disk space showing in disk management?
    3. You have installed any new software, and programs on the computer?

    Method 1
    See the link below and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.
    How to make a computer faster: 6 ways to speed up your PC
    http://www.Microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx

    Method 2
    If the previous step fails, then check if the problem persists in the safe mode and after return with the result.
    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Method 3
    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Error message saying no disk space on recovery drive E

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron which is only a few months old and I use Vista Home Premium. I constantly receive an error message indicating that the recovery E: disk space is full. I went to the computer to check the available disk space and the bar is completely RED for drive E: of recovery. I have a lot of available memory on drive C: I tried to Defrag disk and disk cleanup. Disk Cleanup says 0 bytes will be released by empty my trash. That's because my basket is empty! I deleted all temporary internet files. I did a virus scan. I tried to save recovery E: files to an external site, but could not do this. I tried to delete the files and received a warning message if I did not complete this task. I copied the files to a folder of Documents, but that solves nothing. I called Dell Support and they said something on the partition. I tried to create my backup disks, but this error seems to be the way because he won't let me do this or the other. I cleaned my images and deleted all of the videos. I did everything that I know to free up space. I don't want to disable the error message, as some have suggested. I tried previously posted questions and answers on the forum, but I am unable to find my EXACT problem. If it is there, then I don't understand computer Lingo. My laptop is only a few months old, so I haven't added a large number of files. Why is that happening and how can I solve the problem? Please help!

    Dell computers are shipped with a recovery partition you can use to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new (usually by pressing F12 when the computer starts).   The problem is not that the recovery partition is almost full.  The problem is that Windows Vista should not access that partition at all and shouldn't the user.

    To delete the partition of Windows Vista and avoid the error message, remove the drive letter:

    1. click on the Start button.
    2 type diskmgmt.msc in the Search box and press enter .
    3. click continue at the user account control prompt.
    4. when the disk management window, right-click the E: partition, click change drive letter and paths... and click Remove .
    5. click on Yes .
