Where I go all my disk space?
I would like to ask why my C drive shows I've exhausted more than 100 GB of space, but when I tried to check the size of my files and folders, individually they add only up to 60 GB. I enabled the display of hidden files. I also deleted my Recycle Bin. What became of the rest of my disk space?
Hello
by default system restore will have up to 15% of the capacity of the hard disk
Example: the hard drive of 300 GB x 15% = 45GBs
you would like to reduce this amount

The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:
Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.
System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

Windows Update ate all my disk space
I ran Windows Update yesterday and my hard drive (C :) happened to have 15 GB of free space to 302 Mo. What was done wrong and how can I solve this problem? Just, I did a disk cleanup now and find themselves with 3.74 GB free, so basically he did not so much. Help, please! I only have Vista and my anti-virus (Trend Micro Internet Security Pro) on this drive
Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.
Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.
If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.
A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.
cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

Your computer is a desktop or a laptop? What is the brand of computer and the moel?

After iPhoto deleting Library.migratedphotolibrary why not get all this disk space?
I've migrated photos on my Mac (OS 10.11.2) months ago.
I talked to AppleCare just before and I was told that I could remove the old Library.migratedphotolibrary iPhoto after confirmation of everything was in pictures and Photos Library.photoslibrary.
I did, and they are, so I removed the old library thought I would free 113 GB of disk space on my MBP. The old library was the size and the new library is 128 GB because it has ceased to grow since the migration into Photos, and everything seems to be there.
So I moved iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary into the trash and empty the trash. It took some time for the trash to empty! But once completed, instead of 113 GB of space to reclaim it seems that I only got back around 10 GB of space.
Why is this? Were two libraries really sharing pointers to the same pictures?
Thank you
Doug

Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.
These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:

NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error.

How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs
Hello
I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:
"In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."
My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?
Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

WHERE IS THE DISK SPACE?
WHERE IS THE DISK SPACE?
After the transfer of about a third of my HD 10 Gig by cut and paste, my new external HD 1 terabyte NO SPACE WAS not PERFORMED on my old C:\ drive. He showed only 120 MB of space available on C:\ and none of the file names are not anywhere. The new HD E:\external lists ALL files and showed that about 3-GB had been transferred. Why can't I just clean the old C:\ HD? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Apple suggested to replace the Internet Explorer browser with another and I had Firefox installed, available and repeated downloading and installing successfully. Automatic Updates/downloads have reduced my 10 GB of available disk space 500 MB. I replaced the original 10 GB HD with a new 80 GB drive and additional 128 MB of RAM. Which, as well as my external hard drive 1 TB should hold me until I can afford to replace this 10 year old system. Thank you all for your constructive comments!

Message of HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-In-One__error: disk space

The program says that it has detected another program HP and install to the same location. It is said that 590 MB required 0 MB availableTroubleshooting: I deleted all the installed HP printer drivers previously.
It does allow me to choose the installation location.
According to my system info I got 1.24 GB of RAM and 23.8 GB of available disk space on my C drive.
I have no idea where the program tries to install.
I tried to download from your site Web and installation in this way. Same "disk space" message I talked to a technician on the phone. It recommended more memory. I bought and installed more memory. Did not help. Then I used the online chat feature and the tech said it was weird and sent me a link explaining how to free more space which helps me not at all. Where free space when I do not know where the program is trying to install?HP has a utility on their website to remove all the drivers of HP, I suggest that you use, and then restart your computer. Then run Disk Cleanup and remove all temporary files

who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
