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.

    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.

  • 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 :)

    DO NOT remove the files outside your home folder, you can end up removing something essential to Mac OS X and transform your Mac into a costly "door Stop."

    I want to say that you will find a few very large files in private-> var-> vm (these are Mac OS X virtual memory paging files (swapfiles) and where Mac OS X stores the RAM copy when your Mac is paused).  The swapfile (s) is deleted on reboot, and the sleep image will just be recreated when you put your Mac to sleep.

    If you think that you found something to remove outside your home folder, it would be better to ask first before deleting.  There are many examples of people deleting files outside their home folder, rename files, or change the property or file permissions and then their Mac stops running.  Don't be one of those people.  Ask first.

  • Not enough free space on the disk

    Hello - I seem to be short (only 4 GB left) disk space, but when I use Windows Explorer / properties / general tab to look at the folder by folder, I tabulated I should have at least 15 GB free. Any ideas as to how can I identify the files that hold the disc? (I looked in My Documents, and which takes only 7 GB.) So if this 7 GB is accurate, then other files 'system' should be to blame). Note: I have already run Disk Cleanup, but it doesn't have a lot of space. Thanks in advance!

    You can use a program called 'size of the tree' to get a better idea of what plugs into your computer. They have a free version that works very well, I'll leave a link below. You can also use a program like ccleaner to free additional space.

  • Using free space on the disk in ESXi 4 USB Installer?

    Hi all

    I've got 16 Stick of 2 GB USB DRIVE that I installed with VMWare ESXi 4.0 and the patch for later, someone has already tried to use the remaining free disk space, or it can not be used at all?

    I'm just curious, and I was wondering if we can optimize.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    One of the reasons for esxi works well on a USB key is that she is not much written and that he didn't need to do much. Take the 16 GB House and a small for ESXi. Don't risk your production environment.

    Hi, gustavoemerim.

    First of all, you must locate the directory with higher usage with "-ch".

    Usually, the directory used to store the snmptraps is the most complete if you install using standard configurations (/ opt/cisco/ss/adminshell/applications/CPA/data/snmptrap/rawdata in my case).

    You can compact the files with a script of tar or delete the snmptrap and disable traps with the following command:

    touch $CSPCHOME/donotStartSyslog $CSPCHOME/donotStartSnmpTrap $CSPCHOME/donotStartFtp $CSPCHOME/donotStartTftp; chown casuser:casusers $CSPCHOME / donot *; chmod $CSPCHOME 710 / donot *; epsc service restart
