my laptop of filling with Microsoft updates and let me know if there are some that can be erased and whether I could erase a whole lot of them.

If your laptop is close to filling, it is NOT likely to be updates on a modern machine with the drive check the size C - especially with Windows XP.  You should not uninstall updated unless they are at the origin of the questions (and they would settle later unless already manually update you your computer) because they are there for a reason, and when we replace an old one - it REPLACES the old...

What makes you think it's updates of your machine filling and not your stuff?  ;-)

You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 15 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

Cleaning the components of update on your Windows XP computer

While probably not 100% necessary-, it is probably a good idea at this time to ensure that you continue to get the updates you need. This will help you ensure that your system update is ready to do it for you.

Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
(Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

Reset.

Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
(Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
(Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

Reset.

and...

Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on theroot of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

AutoScan--> RUN and type:
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
--> Click OK.

(If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

Reset.

Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update (you * NOT * use the aggressive version):
How to reset the Windows Update components?

Reset.

Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing youpouvez wish to make:

Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end. This isn't 100% necessary - but I'd be willing to bet that you would gain some performance and features in making this part.

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

    =============================================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  • iPhoto library picture problem - what is their actual size, I can delete?

    Hello

    I'm trying to fix a friend's Mac airbook. It is insufficient on... out of 120 GB hard disk space, only 5 GB remaining who is causing trouble.

    Now at some point, she has improved iPhoto to photos! On his computer, there are now two files... and it size differs depending on what software I use:

    OmniDiskSweeper:

    iPhoto Library 30.2 GB

    Photo Library: 15.2

    Daisydisk:

    IPhoto library: 18, 7 GB

    15.2 GB photo

    ---

    total: 33.9

    GrandPerspective:

    iPhoto: 27.9

    Photo library: 3.46

    -

    total: 31,36 GB

    Finder (information)

    IPhoto library: 30 GB

    Photo Library: 15.7 GB

    1. If the size is the iPhoto library? 30.2 GB, 30 GB, 27.9 GB or 18.7 GB? And what size it the photo library? If information can I trust?

    2. can I remove one of the libraries?

    I really need to make room for her and have tried everything... the real solution appears to tackle this problem of libraries of photos.

    Help, please!

    PSI don't know exactly how it migrated data. In any case I read much online and some people say that I can remove the old library, some people I can't say... or even if I do, saved on hard drive size won't matter.

    beawre: this lady has no backup anywhere! (I know, crazy... but that's how she made things... I cannot now buy one for her, so I need to be careful before deleting anything)

    If it does use iPhoto, you can delete the iPhoto library but you should check it first just in case

    as for its size can in no way anyone without access to the computer can tell

    as for space economy it will probably save a lot because it seems that she has a lot of deletions of his photo library or use iCloud photo library with optimized photos - immediately after the migration, two libraries share links to the originals and previews and deletion either saves very little space but that changes are made to one and not the other potential savings grow - my guess is that in his case, the savings will be a lot, but the only way to know is to archive the iPhoto library and delete it and restart

    And be very careful about programs like OmniDiskSweeper - if you use it to remove pictures of each library it will destroy the library - you should NEVER directly remove anything on a Photos or iPhoto library - always use the program to remove things

    What is C:\$Recycle.Bin and what I can delete it? Vista

    simple but impossible question to find the answer. There is no corruption or anything just that it's big - 7 GB and waste space on the hard disk.

    From what I understand it has the recycling bins of all the user profiles on the computer... I wouldn't delete the folder. I would, however, is to check your bin on the desktop. When you delete items, they put themselves in the recycling bin. Then you need to remove them completely empty. Its kinda like a fail safe. Check box if you want the stuff in there and empty to reclaim your space, might need to open a session for each user if you have more than 1. You can also change the amount of space reserved for the recycling bin to the right by clicking on the icon then go to properties.

  • 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.

    The data can be restored by restoring the entity dimension? EPMA the entity dimension is still in tact.

    It is unclear what exectly arrived, but looks like a change was made in the dimension entity planning (not EPMA) and then deployed (successfully).

    In essbase, we see that the entity dimension has only one member left for the appropriate plan types, as in the planning.

    If you remove members and then push that yes the essbase data is deleted, if you need back then you will need to go back to your restore process.
