Why is my VM so great? How can I reduce the size?

I started several years with over a VM in XP Pro OS X 10.5 (currently OS X 10.6.8 Fusion 4.1.2), which has grown to about 15 GB of 2 GB. Shrink brought up to about 13 or 14 GB.

I only use the VM for QuickBooks Pro and casual browser tests. Not to mention that QuickBooks, my additional applications only are Microsoft Security Essentials, CC Cleaner, Primo PDF, Firefox and Safari. The only document that I keep on the virtual machine is the current QuickBooks company file. I use instant No.

So, my question is, why my VM so great? How indigestion can be removed?

Thank you

David

P.S. - I think I figured out how to see the size of the disk in Windows Explorer > workstation > disc Local (c). Capacity is 19.9 GB, is 11.7 GB used space and free space is 8.24 GB.

First of all, I was just a point and the disk image hard virtual is strictly only with Windows XP Professional SP3 installed with the standard Microsoft Defaults and no additional software applications like Microsoft Office etc.   It is not unreasonable for a fully installed system (Windows XP and user Applications) to consume more than 2 GB, but the real problem is that David started with a Virtual Machine that has been much lower, then it is now and it must be understood that it is unfortunately quite normal for the drive to become bloated and if it was just a normal physical system probably , would not be a problem though because it is a Machine virtual use of space on the host, it is a question.   He has some choice, learn how to remove what is not really necessary, or perform a clean build, which will be initially much smaller the current even if virtual machine it to finally happen in size unless the indigestion is controlled along the way.

  • How can I reduce the size of a PSE11 catalog?

    How can I reduce the size and increase the efficiency of a PSE11 catalog by removing many of its elements?

    A catalogue with more than 10,000 photos works very slowly. But deleting the photos does not help. To take an extreme example, removing all but ten photos, remove all tags and identifications of persons and performs the repair and optimization changes size of the catalogue almost at all, from 516 MB to 493 MB. The properties of the two catalogs indicate the number of files to remain unchanged: 10 279 files. (It seems that each of these files is a photo in the original catalogue, great, all except that ten have allegedly been deleted).

    A whole new catalog created with these same ten pictures has less than 1 MB in size, with only 20 files. This tiny catalogue and the 493 MB each probably contain the same usable information.

    Starting with the large catalog with 10,000 photos, is it possible to delete all but ten of his photos, while reducing its size from 516 to 1 MB? (If so, I want to use the same method with a lot more pictures.)

    Thanks for the comments.

  • How can I reduce the size of a file of numbers?

    I have a file that is too big to 650 MB. It is mostly text. I found 1 sheet which is "inflated".  I tried to copy/paste the columns in a new file, but it ends with lines and additional columns that I copied! It seems to me that if I could have something in layers? How can I reduce the size of the file.

    If it's really just the text that seems really strange.  I repeat what you have already done, copy items to a tim in a new file, and then save after each copy and monitor the size of files.  When you see the file size jump exceptionally fast, do NOT save the new file, and focus on the issue.  What are the benefits?  You paste images into a table as a background fill?

    If you did and you want photos, try to reduce the size of the file by using the menu item "file > advanced > reduce file size...» » :

  • How can I reduce the size of the taskbar (bottom of screen)

    The icons are the right size, but the bar is high

    Hello

    Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can display text and or larger icons on high-resolution screens.
    You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
    To change it follow these steps:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Use values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase size of. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

  • webappsstore.SQLite* is 14 MB. How can I reduce the size? Storage for Firefox is more than 35 MB.

    I use Firefox 20 on a LG Optimus Slider ARMv6 & Android 2.3.4. I moved Firefox on the SD card, but this moves as part of Firefox. The rest remains in the main memory of Firefox (for example under/data/data). This directory is 35MB, which is big enough:

       # du -ks /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/foo.default
       34777   /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/foo.default
    

    Under my profile directory (foo.default), I see that webappsstore.sqlite & webappsstore.sqlite - wal raise a huge 14Mo with a value of space. 14MB is enormous! How can I reduce this space?

       # pwd
       /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/foo.default
       # du -ks * | sort -n | tail
       3549    safebrowsing
       4080    Cache
       4096    webappsstore.sqlite
       6072    adblockplus
       10600  webappsstore.sqlite-wal
    

    Yes, the webappsstore.sqlite - wal (wal: Write-Ahead Logging) should not be there, after the closure of Firefox.
    This seems large enough to me for a temporary file.

    You can try to delete the two files webappsstore.sqlite (all) to make Firefox to rebuild.
