• Which applications are safe to remove in the 'Other' storage on my Mac?

  Hello:

  Hope you guys can help me. I'm almost out of disk space (120.5 13.8). The category 'Other' seems to take a lot of my storage. Here's what I have in storage 'other '. Please tell me if I can remove the following text:

  Adobeflashplayer_19_a install.dmg (30/09/15)

  Adobeflashplayer_17_a install.dmg (14/04/15) (3 of them, the same day)

  Adobeflashplayer_16_Hrosxd_aaa-IAH (1) .dmg (16/01/15) (2 of them, the same day)

  epson16661.dmg (08/10/14) (I didn't own a Mac until last year, so where is the 2014 thing comes in?)

  epson15207 - 2.dmg (26/09/14) (3 of them the same day)

  JRE-Bu31-macosx - x 64 .dmg (11/02/15)

  Is it possible for me to remove installers? How can I free up my disk space? I moved pretty much everything except 2 docs to my documents and really cleaned up the thing. She went 4.2 high at 14 and change, but still it is not enough. What can I do else?

  Thank you

  Rachael

  Yes, you can delete the installation programs, unless you think you might need them. Also, take a look at Omni DiskSweeper. Omni DiskSweeper can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper.

• XP to Win 7 set at level OK. A 80 GB with 20 GB C and D Partitions 60 GB drive. Which Partition is active? Can remove Win subdir on another Partition?

  I have a Dell 745 with XP to Win 7 installed OK. The 80 GB hard drive has a partition C of 20 GB and 60 GB D partitions. The two partitions have a Windows subdirectory. If D is the active partition, can I remove the Windows subdirectory on the partitiion C? How can I find out which partition is active?

  Personally I start from scratch by booting from the cd win7 to install, early in the process when it locates the partitions, delete them both, and then continue the installation to utalise all the space

• Which files are safe from my C drive to another drive

  I understand that Vista partitions the hard drive into 2 discs. On mine, it seems to be C (Vista) and E (data). My C drive is now full to 90%, while the E drive is (90%) free. I said I should move some files from drive C on the E drive to free up space. I was given good advice? If so, which files are safe to fly over as I really don't want to lose something important. As you can see, my computer knowledge is very basic and any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Thank you Walter,.

  There are 113 GB on drive E. There is a folder there called recovery of HARD drive, but the drive is definitely called DATA. Should I continue to move files?

  Thank you

  Darren

  Hey daz4239

  «There is a folder in there called HARD drive recovery»

  in where? not in the partition data is it

  If you somehow a collection folder in the application data partition to the manufacturer of the computer to this topic

  You should already have recovery disks form the 'record' in recovery

• Is it safe to remove all but one or two recent copies of the folder Windows Live Contacts located in AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Live Contacts?

  Is safe to remove apparently to the copies of the files of Windows Live Contacts is located in the directory of following:
  C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Active Contacts

  During a recent cleaning disc, I tried to 'explorer' of these files that take more than 150MB. I was unable to access the files and was motivated indicating that the folders were empty (even if the box 'properties dialog box' shows that they are each around 30 MB.)

  Real statistics for AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Live Contacts folders:

  (1) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {ec5c004d-431a-4953-b52a-fb2242447800} 15 January 2010 29.0 MB

  (2) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {c5f4de74-2462-41ae-93fd-7ff8b51a8597} 16 January 2010 29.3 MB

  (3) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows live Contacts\ {82a7b7d2-3f5d - 43 c 2-aba5-f39d76b4a} 29 January 2010 29.0 MB

  (4) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Contacts\ {90a2a35e-9bce-4efb-aee5-50dd69b35741} live February 1, 2010 29.0 MB

  (5) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {e26a3eaa-c3ef-4471-a9e4-26e5cba73bd9} 3 February 2010 28.0 MB

  (6) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows live 28.0MB* February 17, 2010 Contacts\ {83a16ece-a5b5-4a53-96d3-51c079f32522}
  * It's the only one who does not say "folder is empty. Ironically, he said 4.03 MB when twitch, but properties box reflects 28.0 MB

  (7) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {c8d513fd-aab6-4c7e-a612-7ade0eed7c4b} February 19, 2010 28.3MB* *.
  * I guess that it is the most 'common' or 'active' Live Contacts folder

  I use Outlook 2003 for my contacts and e-mail and have a hard time justifying 150 MB of data in the old WLContacts files to stay on my HDD. At this point I did not anything else that create 5 files zip files (which takes 10 MB of space instead of the 150 MB uncompressed.

  In summary, I would like to get an opinion heard on whether or not the removal of the Windows Live Contacts AppData apparently duplicate files will create any type of system instability.  Thank you in advance for solutions or suggestions available.

• Drives hot swap in BIOS not safe to remove the value

  I have a Doc Icy as the docks of the internal disks in a Bay with two power switches front of 5.25 inch front - one for the 2.5 inches dock bay and one for the Bay dock of 3.5 inches.  In the last inserted here readers as well as internal hard drives would come in safe to delete list.  Apparently a Win 7 update fixed the internal drives appear.  Now, even if for the ICY Doc SATA ports are on hot swap in the BIOS, they still do not appear in the delete list safe, which means that the superior policies drive removable section don't appear in the tab Device Manager strategies as they did and still do for USB drives.

  I found here in the forum a few lines of registry added to disable records showing in safe to delete the list, so I wonder if there are a few lines or a tweak for these lines to get two ICY DOC SATA ports to appear in Safe to remove - or y at - it another way?

  Here's the instructions to Remove readers of safe to remove from the other post by Bobby Mikkelson.

  1. click on Start

  2. in the search programs and files box, type the command

  3. under programs, click command prompt , click run as administrator

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click on continue.

  4. copy and paste or type each of the commands at the command prompt and press enter after each command

  Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller0\Channel0" / f/v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

  Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller0\Channel1" / f/v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

  5 restart your computer to activate the registry changes

  Note: There may be some trial and error to determine the appropriate ports (also called "channels").

  The number of channel indicated in the device maybe Manager may not match the channel number in the registry, you may need to set the value and check the desired effect.

  There is currently no entries like this in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\

  In case it is not clear - I WANT that drives DOC ICY appears in safe to remove.

• I have windows 7 which is corrupt. How remove, uninstall Windows 7 so I can have a clean disk so I can install again.

  I have windows 7 which is corrupt.  How remove, uninstall Windows 7 so I can have a clean disk so I can install again?  When I try now I get the message that it is already installed and does not go further.

  Windows 7 came preloaded on your computer?

  If so, try the following:

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  -------------------------

  If Windows 7 is not preinstalled on your computer.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• File named rtr8A14.tmp in my drive C: is safe to remove?

  OT: Safe to remove file?

  There is this file called rtr8A14.tmp in my C: drive. I tried searching the Internet on the file, but nothing came. This tmp file takes 1 GB which is huge. Don't know if it can be removed.

  Three points:

  1. in our day, when a 1 TB drive is on the smallest person buys, and
  they cost about USD $50, 1 GB is about a nickel. It's barely
  huge if you look at it in terms of monetary value.

  2. in the case of a tmp file, it can certainly be deleted. Stands of tmp
  for 'temporary' and life expectancy are normally completed when the computer is
  then started.

  3. If you want to be on the safe side, you can change the file name or move
  another file rather than delete it. Wait a week or two, and
  If nothing complains that it cannot find the file, delete it then.

• Safe to remove hardware ball

  All of a sudden (when I have no idea), the "Safe to Remove Hardware" message is not in sight when I delete a USB of the PC. (Icon at the bottom). I can remove the device when I click the button, but then the icon immediately disappears and the ToolTip with the text "Safe to remove hardware" does not apear.

  This happens in all usb ports.

  Perhaps one of the Toshiba Utilities caused this error. What program can I reinstall to make the ToolTips visible again?

  Hello

  As much as I know Toshiba has nothing to do with the described issue. All preinstalled Toshiba Utilities or tools don t affect any kind of typical negative Microsoft operations, messages or something similar.

  To be honest, your question must be posted on some forum of Microsoft.

  By the way: have you noticed when you use different devices connected to the USB ports?

• Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?

  Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?

  1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

  2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

• Photos saving disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries.  Should which library I use to remove old photos?  If I delete old photos in iPhotos appear in pictures and vice versa?

  Should which library I use to remove old photos?  iPhoto or Photos?

  If you migrated a library iPhoto to Photos and you want to release the storage, you should remove the pictures of these two libraries.

  Related photos storage only comes out, after that the last linked file has been deleted.  If you do not use more of the iPhoto library, move it to a backup drive. Then simply delete the photos of your new photo library.

• Satellite L655-178 - which partition will be available to start?

  Hello

  My Satellite L655-178 comes with active EFI Insyde H2O Bios. Apparently this BIOS needs to access the HARD disk before starting Windows. Nobody knows in which partition occurs this pre-start HARD drive access?

  My laptop has 3 partitions on a 500 GB HARD drive
  -400 MB Hidden Partition (without drive letter assigned)
  -C: Windows Partition
  D: a Partition of data (with HDD recovery)

  My guess is the Insyde H2O Bios to access the Pre-boot 400 MB hidden partition?

  Am I wrong?

  Thanks :)

  Hey,.

  Your question is interesting, but may I ask why is it important? Serious errors on your laptop?

  Well, first of all, you know that the 400 MB hidden partition is not the boot partition. It contains only the files of Windows recovery environment and cannot be accessed during boot I think. Just read this article:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recovery_Environment

  As you can see, it s a Windows feature and has nothing to do with Toshiba.

  In any case, the start player C: partition will be accessible for on this Windows partition is installed. All that s!

  But until Windows starts, the BIOS HARD drive search internal, but it doesn't have access to all data of it. The BIOS simply check if an internal HARD drive is installed and it is indifferent to what you have on it of the partitions.
