What is the best method/app to remove the old files on a late 2009 iMac?

Want to clean and remove some old files, on which some I don't even know.  What is the best method, and or the app? I have airport time capsule as back up.

Look at and think are the best, there is no app that comes already to know your preferences.

  • I get a widow in my lower toolbar that rpet low disk space, and when I click it to try to delete the old files, it does nothing... so what do I do... ?

    I get a window in my toolbar lower repeating me low disk space and when I click it to try to remove the old files, it does nothing... so what should I do to get rid of the files in a "D" file...?

    Please perform these steps and the back of the report.

    Click Start, click computer, and it will display your hard drives and their letters. Normally C: is your operating system and where everything is stored (user: files, programs, Documents, photos, etc.). The D: is your RECOVERY partition and contains a copy of the first installation of the plant. The D: is small, about 9 to 15 GB, depending on the version of Windows.

    For example, my C: displays 306 GB free (unused) 374 GB (hard disk capacity). D: shows 2.11 free 11.5 GB GB. This is normal for HP, Compaq and others. New HP (Win 7) include an E: with less than 1 GB of capacity, to store a program utility tools. These so-called hard disks are in fact partitions installed on a physical hard disk, but not to concern. The c: partition free space is your important answer. BeAware that the D: and E: (if you have the configuration described above, are never to be used as restore points, or your personal files, they are allocated by the manufacturer to support the reinstallation of the operating system.) My example shows that my C: partition made only 68GB used on the disc, 306 GB is free (unused) 374 GB capacity.

    (1) report with numbers, and you can be helped.

    (2) Vista writes copies ghosts of all your documents (previous versions of the files). These can take many GB.

    (3) when he gets less than 20 percent free, you start to have problems with the disk defragmentation. Less than 10% results in critical problems, the problems of performance and for the worse.

    (4) if the number of free GB is really a low disk space issue, you need to move some of the large data files (pictures, videos,...) out on CD or DVD.

    If it helps, let me know. I'm not a moderator, just a user trying to use simple language to help others.

  • What is the ldiag file in Windows 7? How can I stop Windows write files in this folder?

    Can someone tell me what is the ldiag file in Windows 7?

    Somehow, Windows creates files and writes to this file. It keeps then write files until the entire hard drive is full. In other words, there is no place to save a restore point and no place to open Outlook, etc.

    When this has happened in the past, I had to contact the Microsoft response service and a level 2 technician to erase files. They said, the problem has been "fixed", but he continues to be...

    Do you know what "program" in Windows write files to this folder? I think it's a kind of diagnostic file. I tried the search "help" and the community and have not found anything to answer.

    Well, I hope that he is an expert in the community who can advise me on this. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your kindness in answering this question. I worked with technician level 2 Microsoft Office of response on the issue.

    I see that the files are part of the Lenovo system. Somehow, the Lenovo system analysis - triggered by something unknown to me--and wrote a text of 25 to 30 Gigabyte file!  I've identified it as a program of Lenovo, the write file and the program triggered by some unknown parameter. Then, I took the step to stop this program, Lenovo to run and then remove the text files.

    The steps you suggested are 'typical' first response / suggestions that you could do in that first level. However, in this case that they had nothing to do with the real problem.

    I often do a disk cleanup. This program is not clean these text files of the diagnosis of Lenovo.

    I start the computer in safe mode to diagnose problems. Yet once, just for the record, being in safe mode has nothing to do with the question of the Lenovo running program.

    No, there is no error message other than a message about 'disk full '. I ran a small program to see the size of the folder and was able to quickly identify the issue of file ldiag containing two text files, each about 25 gigabytes.

    Once again, thank you for your suggestions, but they were just basic, 'typical' suggestions and really had nothing to do with this specific problem. However, you have correctly identified the ldiag as being a file of Lenovo. Once that technology Tier 2 response office and found out that we were able to "solve" the problem.

    I'll keep the links you sent for reference.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer.

    Records are a method of setting permissions in VMware vCenter. They form a triage unit and behave as a logical separation. When you first add the hosts to vCenter and you have all the files, there will be a default folder created for you as Richardsonporto mentioned.

    Later, you can create new folders and separate the virtual machine by drag-and - drop of their.

    RXE files are generated by the LEGO MINDSTORMS programming environment (also called NXT - G; it is based on LabVIEW but not equivalent).  These files contain binary data representing a MINDSTORMS program.  To open them, you need the LEGO software.

    Original title: Windows 7: what are the individual "file system type" files in the folder system volume information accumulating [not the files system restore I already know and don't use yet]

    Hi-

    I stopped using the system restore, I found a better solution, for me, that's what I have to do.
    Then I noticed that several 'file system' 'type' was being created, 12 times yesterday, 3 up to today in the early hours of the morning and stored in they System Volume Information folder, anywhere from 30 MB to 2 GB.
    three of these file names 'file system' 'type' are:

    Hi John,.

    Yes, you can delete the system volume information data if not to use the system restore.

    You will need to give permission to the folder until you delete it.

I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?

    No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.

  • Write several bays in one xml file at different times without overwriting the old file?

    Hi my name is Dustin,

    I am new to labview and teststand... I try several tables of data in a single XML right. I can do this with a cluster but I need to create a variable for each of these pictures (21 pictures) and I was hoping to use the same variable for each table. Which means that I get my data table write in an xml file and replace this table in this variable with a new table and then call my VI who writes this table in an xml file and write to the same file xml under the first table without crushing. My VI I created to write a table to an xml file is attached. Yet once I wonder if there is a way to write several berries in a single at different times xml file, without overwriting the old file xml.

  • Why KB2538242 etc. must require the old files vcredist.msi (to uninstall the old stuff)?

    First of all, some "background story":
    The old facilities must be uninstalled with their files vcredist.msi of origin before the end of the new facility. Is he missing the old files, .msi, Microsoft Update still believes that the update is successful, which in fact is unfinished, but simply "cancelled successfully. This is the real cause of constantly repeated same updates KB2538242 etc., appear. I had this problem and manually downloaded several vcredist package old version and uninstalled those corresponding to my system, but there is still the KB2467175 one which the download link was dead. In the end, I can't yet to complete installation of the update.

    Now the questions: why updates must rely on old packages in installation? Why can they not do the job on their own? (That is anyway to work around this problem and more) a reinstallation of the system, or b) hide this update?

    Try this if you are using Win XP.  Install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x 86) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3387.  Then run the run the KB2538242 update.

    I found all the other 'remedies' MS and others do not work.  The problem is the original distribution is damaged or missing and needs to be reinstalled before the update will take.  At least, that was my problem and how to solve it.
