• How free space on the partition system reserved when the usual FSUTIL USN DELETEJOURNAL command does not work?

  When you try to make the system images, I found that the system reserved (100 MB) partition can be a problem if it has less than 50 MB of free space.  In my case it was after execution of FSUTIL USN DELETEJOURNAL/d/n and 34 MB free disk space is only 40 MB.  I also tried without the flag/n.

  I had just restored the system from an image so I felt comfortable to make new changes.  I deleted the fonts and directories of different language from the startup directory (the directory of fonts took about 10 MB).

  I see a file name {hex 64 bit I think} in the System Volume Information directory, which was 32MB in size.  I tried to remove it but no luck.

  After you remove the fonts, and the other languages, I had a lot of free space to perform the system image.  I'm not comfortable actually using this image, go ahead yet, but I'm looking for someone who might know what is and isn't OK to do with this partition.  I would have done it 150 MB when I installed everything first if I had an idea I was going to suffer like that on a meager 18 MB.

  Thank you.

• Increase the disk space

  My C drive has 5% free space. and my drive D "New Volume" 93% of free space. When I right click on drive C 'Player Extend' option is not usable. How can I increase the capacity of the C drive? I tried shrinking the D drive, thinking it would give me the ability that I could use to extend the C drive, but that did not work.

  To extend the Windows partition, free space must be nearby and located at the end of the partition, you need to develop, in this case your Windows partition. Disk management cannot shrnk forward of the partition (the partition next to your Windows partition), if you need a third party utility to boom the beginging of the partition in the Windows aprtition look, then you can extend the Windows partition.

• you have to have free space, or your files will automatically separate?

  I have about an 80 gigabyte and I want to share it at halfway but its full, so I was wondering if windows will automatically share files

  Your question is not particularly clear.

  Windows will only save a file on a single path then if the Act of writing a large file will fill a particular drive that the write will fail completely with a lack of space error.

  When writing multiple files to a removable device, it can request a change to the device when it is full.

  It is not generally recommended to fill out a capacity HARD drive as standard household tasks will not work. You should always have at least 15% of free space on a disk partition.

• I can't erase the free space in the disk utility, where is he?

  After the installation of El Capitan, I can't erase free space in disk utility, where is he? How can we erase files deleted safely with El Capitan?

  Secure deletion has been removed from El Capitan. There are 3rd party apps that can, but it's a bad idea on SSDS.

• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  
  DISKPART> list disk
  
  Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
  
  -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- 
  
  Disk 0 Online 167 GB 20 GB
  
  Disk 1 Online 465 GB 0 B *
  
  Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 1526 GB *
  
  DISKPART> select disk 2
  
  Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
  
  DISKPART> list part
  
  Partition ### Type Size Offset
  
  ------------- ---------------- ------- -------
  
  Partition 1 Reserved 128 MB 17 KB
  
  Partition 2 Primary 1267 GB 129 MB 
  
  DISKPART>
  

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

  

  ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

  

  

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• Satellite A215-S7422: free space on the HARD disk decreases every day

  Hello everyone,

  Hi I'm alex.

  I've owned a computer laptop "SATELLITE A215-S7422.
  I got 147 GB of my hard disk drive memory, I got 119 free space but as I noticed it is constantly down even if I do not download anything.

  When I saw this first I try to get it back to the factory setting and I had 128 GB of free space, and every day it is significantly down.

  Everything I do is look at you tube.

  Can someone explain to me what is happening and what I can do about it...

  It would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  There is a simple explanation why HARD disk space decreases each time while watching Youtube videos
  The video stream is always stored on the HARD drive in the internet files folder and in time.

  So from time to time, it would be desirable to remove these files and to clean the folder of files over time.
  I use the CCLeaner. It is free software and can be downloaded from different pages. Google simply
  This program is very useful. It cleans the HARD drive and removes the garbage all registry.

  You should test.

• Delete the message "for free space disk outlook express can compact messages."

  Prompt compaction is triggered whenever you close OE 100 times.  So if you compact manually, you don't get invited again until you close OE for another 100 times.  Unfortunately there is no way to change this.  Dbx files shall be compacted.  If they are not, they will move on to an enormous size, and then get corrupted, so it is important to pack on a regular basis.

  Generally no.
   
  How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
  Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
   
  Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and
  What applications you are running, it may or may not do anything for you. More memory
  is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this

  The amount of RAM you need to good performance is * not * a

  RAM you have prevents you from using the file page in a meaningful way, and
  It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
  Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
  works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
  with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things
  as modification of large photographic images, can see an improvement in performance by
  adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
   
  If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory
  will reduce or eliminate the use and improve your performance.
  If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
  nothing for you. Reach

  WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should

  lots more.

  You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
  storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
  any changes to the available disk space.

• Can not defragment. I get a pop up message that I am low on memory and free disk space. I use the cleaning disc, but can not run Defragmenter. I have only 2 percent of free space, and it will not defragment.

  a pop-up message tells me I have insufficient disk space and free up some disk space so I run the disc to clean and it removes some of the problems. He jumps up all 2-3 days.  I tried to defrag, but the error message says that I only have 2% of disk space and he needs 15% to defrag so it will not defragment.  The band is red when I analyze the system before defragmentation.

  2% free space? You really need a larger hard drive.

• The video file can be published to the specified location. Check that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free space on the disk, and then republish the movie again.

  It happened once before, but it somehow went away after I restarted my laptop. I restarted my laptop, this time, but it has not worked.

  ~*~

  OK, so I just finished put a video together. It consists of a Hypercam 2 record (which means it's a .avi file), a PNG image, text and a song (which is a WMA file).

  ~*~

  I save the file, and then click Publish Movie. Everything goes well until the last step where the video is actually published. The window made a break for a while before you receive the following message;

  ~*~

  "Cannot complete the movie publish .

  The video file cannot be published to the specified location. "Check that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free space on the disk and then republish the movie again."

  ~*~

  I know there are a lot of free space on the drive on my laptop (it's an Inspiron 1520), and that there is nothing wrong with any of my files. I tried to change places without result. It simply doesn't get it. It would be a great help to me if someone could tell me what is the problem :)

• Why defragment reduced my free space on the disk?

  I show to have only 10% of free disk space on... VISTA lecteurC.  Thought that defragmentation would increase free space, but it reduces.  Don't understand why I should only less than 10% free space - I do ot DOWNLOAD music or movies and have very few pictures, and yes I'm dim when it comes to HER.

  I suggest that you use CCleaner to remove your temporary files because it is more aggressive than WIndows disk cleanup. With a C: drive however, this size you always are going to have problems. Size fluctuations are most likely due to points of system restore and Volume Shadow Copy.

  You can reduce the space they are taking by using disk cleanup and choose the option "files for all users on this computer." When you get to the window to select files to delete, click on the 'More Options' tab and click on the button 'Clean up' in the section 'Sytem Restore and cliché '.

  This will make that space available for a time until several restore points are created.

• What happened to my 10 GB of free space on the disk?

  I don't really know... Yesterday, I deleted a lot of films and albums of music from my pc and I am very sure that after I emptied the recycling bin, I had more than 31 GB of free space on the disk. But now... after that I just turned on my pc to start by knitting I noticed that my changed only 20.9 GB HDD space... what happened to the other 10 GB? No, I did not commit a any error with what I pressed on to empty the recycling bin and I even run windirstat just to check everything and I saw nothing wrong with all my files...

  IM using windows 7 ultimate sp1 with 100 GB hard drive (no partitions) 2 GB ram and 2.3 ghz cpu

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  I understand from the description of the problem, that after deleting a few files of the computer, the hardware space shows 20.9 GB despite 31 GB in Windows 7 computer.

  I understand this must be frustrating, but don't worry, we're here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  I suggest you try these methods and check if it helps.

  Try logging in SafeMode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem is resolved, perform the scan anti-virus in SafeMode with network.

   

  Method 1

  Step 1

  Start your computer in safe mode with networking.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Note: When, at the forefront of startup options select safe mode with network.

   

  Step 2

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

   

  Method 2

  Reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  It will be useful.

  Let us know if you encounter problems with Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you.
