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.

    Hi eaumng,

    Launch windows media player, right-click on an empty space in the lower right of the media player, hover over or select help and 'media player' and that should bring up a page on the drive media of which version you are running. If you OS is xp sp3, you probably #11 is installed, and it is the most updated for XP version.

  • How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

    A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

    You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    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.

We have ESX server with 6 NIC cards on all of them and I need to be able to say what NIC is the service console. I googled my brains but no luck. esxcfg-vswitch - l does not show what NIC is on, because, I guess, we lack vCenter.

  • How can I tell what drive installed on firefox?

    I use a fairly small SSD as my drive "C:". It contains the Windows files and it is, but I don't want to install all my programs on this drive. That's what concerns the second disc of 1Terabyte.

    During the installation, how can I tell Firefox to install on the second hard drive?

    Yes, you can select custom during installation Setup. But the vast majority of Firefox (wise disk space) will be the user / "roaming" area folderset on the same drive that the operating system is installed on – C: / drive. This is the default zone for the Firefox profile.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/profiles-where-Firefox-stores-user-data

    After installation, you can create a new profile on a different drive for your data Firefox and customizations.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles

    Before using chose the file to a custom location, you must create the folder and select this specific folder when you create the new profile. If you don't accidentally use the root folder, you risk losing everything on this disc, you will need to use an empty folder when you specify where you want the new profile.

    And once you create the profile, in the custom location, do not "clean" what remains on the c: / drive from the original installation. You will need the file profiles.ini so that Firefox knows where your profile 'in service' folder

    I downloaded from the servers of HP drivers and software available for my PC but I could not install HP Recovery Manager on the new hard drive because it gave me this error: "Softpaq does not apply to the system, without HP Recovery Manager installed.

    Is there someone who can help me solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hey there!

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I understand that you can not restore your PC by using the restore disks.

    It seems that you did not follow the process of creating media recovery or data backup process.

    If you are unable to restore the image by using the discs.

    Please use this link to find out how to create a recovery media: http://hp.care/2byIEKi

    However, you can contact HP and get a set of system recovery disks.

    Burn a CD or DVD

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/burn-a-CD-or-DVD

    Burn a disc using the ISO image format

    Choose the size of the ISO image when you need a highly compatible disc that will play in computers with an older version of Windows or in devices such as CD and DVD players that can play video files and music digital. For more information about choosing a disc format, see which CD or DVD format should I use?

    1. Insert a writable CD or DVD CD writer or DVD in your computer.

    2. In the dialog box that appears, click on burn the files to a data disc.

    3. In the engraving, a disc dialog box, type a name for this disc, and then click Show formatting options.

    4. Click on ISO image, and then click Next.

      An empty disc folder opens.

    5. Open the folder that contains the files to burn and then drag the files into the empty disc folder.

    6. In the toolbar, click on burn to disc.

      The selected files are copied to the disk. When burning is complete, the drive tray opens and you can remove the drive. You can now use the disc in another computer or media. This type of disc has no need to be closed.
