Why is my disk almost full? & Can remove library, containers and app caches are supported files?

I emptied my system pretty well on an external, put disc to update my computer and I still have the same use of data showing in disk utility.

with the help of el capitan.

I don't know where most of the pictures are like he reads 8 GB but they must be scattered in my application note.

7.88 GB movies must be in my iTunes music videos, 'others' I don't know actually, that's what I put.

looking at my applications folder that adds another 70 GB.

with regard to my LIBRARY.

connects to 195 MB

application support 25 GB

caches/3 GB

containers 6.65 GB

I can delete everything in containers, caches and support applications?

Well, it's your Mac, and you can do whatever you want on it, but if you remove all those who come to know that you will remove a large part of your own data, most - if not all - your apps do not work and you will have a good old mess on your hands.

    The recovery partition is set by default to have very little free space_and has no negative effect on it or system. However, if you use it to back up files, it could fill to capacity. Do not use for backup. You can also check to see if the System Restore monitors the partition, if so, turn it off. Whatever you do, do not compress the partition. Doing so will serve as recovery to stop working.

    Hi jojo

    You would not believe what happened.

    The problem got worse. Subsequently, the system refused to even give me a sign on another wifi network other than that I'm a.

    I leave the matter for a few weeks before I turned on the laptop.

    I showed that I needed the Microsoft updates, after which the laptop worked like nothing happened.

  • SSD disk almost full

    I recently bought a new Dell Vostro 3560, with a 1 TB SERIAL ATA hard drive and a COMPLETE CARD 32 GB SSDR MSATA.

    The 32 GB card is defined as drive C, on which is installed the OS (win7), but also of office.  I took care to install a new program on the D drive, but that is still quite empty, noticed that some programs have created files on the C drive as well (in files of program files). Now, the C drive is nearly full.

    Is it possible to change the partition between C and D and allocate more space memory in C? Or should I completely remove windows and re-install everything on D? What is the right way to use the SSDR card?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

    I assume that you have installed Windows 7 manually. You should not install Windows 7 on a 32 GB drive its all just too small.

    The 32 GB mSATA reader is designed to be a Cache drive. i.e. Windows must be installed on the primary drive. See Intel reactivity installation Dell technology Guide.

    First you should check the settings of the BIOS - ' system must have the BIOS RAID mode value (in some menus of the system BIOS, this mode can be called Smart Response mode or quick start mode). " "Note: ATA and AHCI modes are not supported.

    SSD Cache drive shouldn't be listed as a reader in option during the installation of Windows and be almost invisible. Then 'System must have Intel® Rapid Storage driver and application installed in the operating system.' See page 6 to 8 of the PDF above for instructions. You'll need to install and configure this application within Windows to start caching.

    Note You may be able to change the player 32 GB for a 128-512 GB a GB mSATA and then it would be wise to install Windows on drive mSATA. I didn't know all the users report with success that they did that again although there are a few threads mention:

  • How can I remove an unwanted operating system to free up space on my HARD disk almost full

    The drive is about 75 GB and has two partitions (C: and D readers :). There is a version of Vista on each partition.  My ultimate goal is to reformat the drive as one partition and reload the operating system, but I have found no way of formatting of disks, holding Vista. Help, please.

    Hello 771,

    I don't understand why Windows Disk manager would not allow a partition deletion or reformatting. I use this option during all this time without any problem of "system folders" etc.

    Take a look at these two links to my website and see if they help you:

    http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/format_partition_using_vista_dvd.htm

    http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

    Otherwise, you should eb able to erase/format the partition by using a part of htird partitioning application as Paragon Hard Disk manager or something similar.

    Paragon do a free Partition Manager (Paragon Partition Manager 11 free), check out the link below.

  • Advice needed - disk almost full (Vista)

    Hi hoping someone can point me in the right direction, I have a laptop Fujitsu running on Vista and the drive, drive is nearly full, he is only 30 GB and only got 3 GB free, that it has no images, videos or documents, I searched on the internet and using treefile find WinSXS is taking almost 10 GB. I understand that service pack 1 has a utility to clean up Winsxs but I need at least 4 GB to install SP1, I uninstalled all unnecessary programs, ran clean disk and also installed and ran ccleaner. I am now at a loss, what to do, I could do a full restore but I don't have a recovery disk, there is that no restore points on the drive, so it cannot come back earlier, ideas? Thanks in advance

    It depends on if the D: drive is actually part of the same hard drive, or two separate drives. You can view this information by going to the Disk Manager tool.  If this is the case, you can use a tool that will allow you to delete D: and extend C: to use lots of disk partitioning disk space.

    I realize that you are on Vista, which is not the same as Windows 7 configuration. With Vista, you can disable the option system restore, it will stop automatically create points of restoration of Windows, but you will leave at risk if you want to recover from mistakes in the future, so please ensure that you take regular backups of system and files on an external drive.

  • Finder said disk almost full... but it's not really complete?

    Hi all

    I have a strange problem that I can't solve, even with all my own research in similar problems.

    Basically:

    1 finder said on 1000 GB on my hard drive, I have 50 or so the rest (950 or so in free use), which shouldn't be the case.

    2. just in case I'm wrong, I ran OmniDiskSweeper and DiskSweeper X to see what files are taking up that space, and the two agree that 560 or GB are used, which means that I should have still about 340 GB left, but it's all be plagued by something mysterious.

    Is there anything else I could do to investigate and solve this problem and reclaim that space? Any help would be appreciated.

    Time Machine has been disabled for years, and remains so, if providing aid.

    Thank you!

  • Outlook Express 6 is the e-mail client 'default' in Works 8.5, can remove this icon and or replaced by Outlook 2003 or the 'other' no matter what version of outlook?

    Hi all

    I have an old Dell Dimension 2400 desktop running Windows XP Pro. It has Microsoft Works 8.5, which contains a reference to Outlook Express 6 icon, so that it can be launched from inside Works 8.5.

    I use NO Outlook Express 6, because I have Outlook 2003 AND Outlook 2007, can I use on it instead, if I want to - which I am not at the moment.

    Anyone in this community know if it is possible to remove the icon from Outlook Express 6 to Works 8.5.

    (and possibly 'replace' the icon with one for Outlook 2003 so that THIS 2003 version opens instead?)

    There is no icon in Add/Remove programs for Outlook Express, or y at - it one in the "all programs" list. Is it possible to uninstall Outlook Express Windows XP completely somehow so that it does not Works 8.5 launch when a user clicks on its ' icon?

    This version of Outlook Express does not work anyway (I tried to set up accounts in there, but they do not work even with the correct details) so it's wasting space on this little hard drive.

    I want to be able to implement this old pc - that works fine as long as I accept his ' limits (Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz single core cpu, 2 GB of Ram, 80 GB HDD)-for the nephews and my 11 years old 7yr to use it safely for the duties of the school, (I have a copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica 2006) , basic base 'games for kids' Web site, when they come to visit. My nephews have not much experience pc anyway and have no interest in the emails.

    There is no other applications on it (which were not ' provided with Window XP Pro") for the moment, outside Works 8.5 and Windows Live nephews will have access to.

    Norton Internet Security 2012, Norton Utilities, Norton go back 4.2 and control Parental Norton will be also created on this pc with Admin access only.

    Otherwise, anyone here know of any 'other' app is similar to 8.5 Works that have the same characteristics of the task/project based - but without email - that I could use instead, which would continue to operate on an old XP pc?

    I would greatly appreciate any ideas or advice from someone who wants to give it.

    Thank you!

    Bob

    I can probably only partially help because I've never used Outlook or works.
     
    Outlook Express is a part of XP, so it cannot be deleted, and probably, it takes less space than Norton.
     
    Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components. Find Outlook Express and uncheck the box.
     
    Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Set Program Access and Defaults. Custom + down arrow | Select the option for Outlook 2003.
     
    Start with that and see where you are.
