What to delete?

I just tried the WinDirStat program.  Super Cool.  I love the different color codes and see what takes the most space, BUT.  Now I wonder which color is allowed to delete if I have not used their Age or do not even know their purpose.  I realize that the system files are a no-no.  Those which are extensions that help files? A little confused.  I would like to better organize my files and roll of the crapola.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

PS: Thanks for all the help in obtaining my IE works again!  You're savers life :)

You remove crapola in Windows 7 by using the same process that is used for older versions of Windows.

He used to call "Add or remove programs". It is now known as 'Programs and features' and are in the Panel...

WinDirStat and Treesize is good to determine what is using the space, I had a customer who had saved the video to a video camera and just thought that his computer was a chasm and Treesize showed how the situation was.

What you can't do is ' remove color. Graph of WinDirStat is the worst I've ever seen and maybe ok for showing the relative positions of the types of files on the hard drive, but beyond that it's just confusing.

Use the programs and features to remove programs and utilities that you no longer want and then use Treesize to determine how much space is given to types of files like music, photos and videos...

  • What can delete folder AppData?

    The AppData folder has three subfolders: roaming, Local, and LocalLow.  The folder uses 10 GB on my drive.  I use CCleaner on several occasions.  I can delete all subfolders?

    Some information about the folder AppData here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-appdata-folder it is true that for Windows 8/8.1.

    Note of the warning - "we do not recommend move, delete or make changes to the files or folders in the folder AppData.» Doing so could make your applications work wrong or stop working entirely. "

    Aside from maybe to delete the temporary files, I personally not would around delete files "at random". 10 GB seems a little high compared to the record of my account which is about 4.4 GB, but I guess that depends on what you have installed and running on your PC. My 4.4 GB about 4 GB is Local, the other two records show 200MB (approximately).

    I hope that someone will be able to give you specific advice if the above does not help.

  • who is on my hard drive? How can I tell what to delete?

    For a long time, I had used very little space on my hard drive. For some reason any during the last two weeks my unused space becomes much smaller. I'm a fool to the computer and I have a hard time with the computer language. I'm ready to destroy my computer. I tried clean up options and other disks, without success. Is there someone, or a site that I can trust to help me remotely? I don't know what's on my drive hard and what I should or should not delete. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

    Thank you. I downloaded the link, ran the scan, I was told that I had many errors. Was invited to buy the product to clean up the errors.

    You clicked on the wrong link somewhere (and you were correct to pay for repair which are likely false errors).  TreeSize is not a malware scanner.

    Try rather JDiskReport .  It is also free, does not include the extra stuff, and provides a nice graphical output.  The only problem is that it requires that you have Java installed, but most people already have Java.  You can download and install JDiskReport (click the link for jdiskreport-1_4_0 - win.exe) or click on the link for "Web Start JDiskReport" to execute it immediately.

    [EDIT]
    I didn't try TreeSize and I wanted to see if it has automatically installed a scanner (it is not).  What I noticed, however, the size of the files reported with TreeSize, JDiskReport are not the same, with generic TreeSize, including more files - but no requests doesn't bring the same space as Windows does.  However, or the other of these two applications should give a pretty good approximation where you need to look to reclaim the disk space.

  • What ArchiveLog deletion policy will activate

    Hi all

    I know when archive political deletion log turn on?


    Configure the policy to delete archivelog saved 2 times to the disk.

    Do above mean that delete archivelog backed up twice?


    Thanks for your help.

    The deletion policy specifies what archivelogs are eligible for deletion. In your example, the archivelogs, who were backed up 2 times on the disk (and not band).

    Deletion occurs when files in the FRA use all available space (depending on configuration), and the database recover space in order to store the new files - for example the new archivelogs.

    so, what is better to delete to move bulk deletion or normal deletion.

    Watch it in simple terms...

    Method 1: Remove all lines
    Method 2: All rows of the query, and then delete all the lines

    one who, logically, you done more work than the other?

    If your deletion takes a lot of time, because: -.

    (a) you don't have the appropriate index to determine which records to delete on the target table
    (b) you have not designed the table to use parititions which could then simply truncated (encrypted option license required for partitioning)
    (c) you remove just a lot of data and it will take time.

    No amount of PL/SQL coding around the deletion SQL base will improve performance. You can not have any code to delete the lines faster than a delete itself statement.

  • problems with what to delete in my memory to make more space for computer memory will work faster. And I get a code of error MFC71U. DLL

    I play Dungeons and Dragons on the line but theres a lot of lag. I think that its because theres not enough memory in my computer (windows XP Home Edition), need to know how to solve this problem, then the computer go faster

    First, you should post questions of Windows XP in a Windows XP forum for better responses.

    Second, if there is not enough memory in your computer, you need to install more.

    In third place, deleting things "in memory" is not possible.  Deleting things out of your drive is, but that will not help.

    Finally, when you post in the forums of Windows XP, make sure that you include all the details on your error message, not only brief and incomplete description you gave in your post title.

    Hello

    By "file recovery", you mean the recovery Partition?

    Who was photographed by the manufacturer of the computer's hard disk and there is nothing to do with Windows or Microsoft.

    It is general information on the recovery Partition:

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To fix any problems that have occurred with the D: Partition Recovery, you need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove everything that was added on.

    See you soon.

  • Question about deleting data from the HARD drive

    Hello

    The C drive on my computer satellite phone is almost full, 1.21 Gb free of 55.7 and drive E has 10.9 GB 36 GB free. How can I solve this problem. I am not concerned by what is deleted. It can go if you have to.

    Slowing down the laptop down to something serious.

    Any help would be great.

    Hello

    It seems that drive E has little more free space
    So, you can move some files like photos, movies, files pm3 or any that you have stored on the partition, the partition E.

    You can also reduce the E partition and can add free space on the C partition.
    To do this, you must use a 3rd party software
    I recommend using a freeware tool called * Gparted.*
