Why seem to have less space in my HD?

Hello!

I got rid of a lot of programs I was not using much and moved from the music files and movies to an external HD, and yet I have not managed to free more disk space.

I wonder why almost 75% of my HD drive is full, and how can I free up more space? I wonder if the updates to victory and older drivers are the culprits.

Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • Upgrade to Windows 7 - will be present take less space on my hard drive in Vista?

    I have a HDD partitioned - C drive only has 30 G - and I'm running out of space. The only thing on the C drive is Windows and any update of software that I can't install it on the other drive. (Auto updates of java, adobe, etc.)  Office, other software, I added are all installed on the second partitioned drive.

    I constantly receive updates Microsoft security - and it keeps taking more space.

    I think I deleted all unnecessary software.

    Upgrading to Windows 7 free up some hard drive space?

    Hi jehsc,

    Windows 7 is essentially Windows Vista with additional coding so it will not less space than Vista, it can take up quite a bit more. You cannot extend the partition (assuming you have unallocated space next to your current partition)? My system Windows 7 (Ultimate) as well as other software applications takes up 42 GB of space, but I allocated 200 GB of space for my Windows 7 Partition. Obviously the 200 GB is not really necessary, but I have the space on my hard drive, so I return to Windows 7. I do not, however, make like you and installed the software on a second partition. The main reason why I don't do it is because, frankly, I do not think that this happened so every advantage in terms of performance.

  • Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension.

    Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension. If I download these files using Internet Explorer, they open properly. I can add xls or xlsx file and it will open properly with Excel. If I select the file open the 'Open with' dialog box and I If select Excel, the file does not open at all... nothing happens and Excel does not open. The excel in the picture as an attachment file are those where I added the excel file name extension.

    Unfortunately, the way that Firefox gives the name of file is more literal and less improvisational than Internet Explorer, you may need to add this extension .xls or .xlsx yourself from time to time.

    If you want to do it in the shortest time, you can change the immediate download to ask you where to save the file, which also foresees the possibility to change the file name. If you want to try it, the setting is described here: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

  • Boot Camp: This disc seems to have been divided by another utility. It must be erased before installing Windows.

    I have a SATA Western Digital to 6 TB drive on my Mac Pro 2012.  I thought "what better place to put a bootcamp partition?  But when I went to use the Boot Camp Assistant, I was greeted with this:

    Boot Camp: This disc seems to have been divided by another utility. It must be erased before installing Windows.

    I thought ' OK - I'll delete data... Use utility disk to erase the disk completely, and then try again.  After a few hours, I used... completely partitioned disk utility disk and tried again.

    Same message.

    It seems that for some reason I can erase completely and use the entire disk for Windows (blah) or should I use another drive or not Boot Camp at all.  Is there a problem with the size of the hard drive Boot Camp can support?  Any advice?

    Hello ElPapa,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you want to put a Boot Camp partition on your Western Digital HD connected to your Mac Pro. What is your boot drive? If this isn't the case, it could be part of your problem. According to the following article on installing Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, it is said that you need "at least 55 GB of free disk space on your startup disk".

    How to install Windows using Boot Camp

    If you install it on your boot drive and still get this message, take a look at this article: Boot Camp: alert message Partition when you use Boot Camp Assistant

    Best regards.

    your help page refers to the menu option that I don't seem to have. There's no option 'Firefox' on the top menu line or on any menu line. I checked all the option toolbar for the menu drop down. Also, I try to import bookmarks from Safari, but there is no option to 'import' in the menu drop down "file".

  • My cd rom seems to have a driver problem

    Hello

    My cd rom seems to have been corrupted and I have a message from code 39. How can I use my recovery disks when the cd rom is not working. I have an old computer that has XP loaded, I can load my inside recovery disks & copy on an external hard drive and then copy it on my laptop which is a HP Pavilion dv - 7 3111ea.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to do what you suggest.

    However, the CD/DVD drive should still work with your recovery disks (unless there is a hardware problem with the drive), because when you start the laptop computer, the drive is controlled by the Bios, no windows - code 39 refers to a driver problem Windows.

    You may be able to correct the error of the Windows driver as follows.

    First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

    Windows 7

    Vista

    Check if the drive works now.

    If the drive does not, in the Menu start, open all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

    sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

    Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.  Reboot the laptop.

    When windows is completely reloaded, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

  • Satellite R830 - 1-1 and Win8.1 - Bluetooth seems to have disappeared

    With "upgrades" Windows 8 and 8.1 (do not do it at all!), my Bluetooth seems to have disappeared and Windows tells me to reinstall the drivers.

    When I go to the page for download driver Toshiba support for my Satellite R830 - 1-1 (PT32LE-01V00CEN), I see 'Bluetooth filter package for Atheros Driver' and 'Bluetooth Stack Toshiba Windows 8 - Upgrade '.

    My laptop has Intel wireless card as I guess all of this model have, so why is listed Atheros?

    I'm afraid I have no idea what I need to install to get my Bluetooth works again. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    > My laptop has Intel wireless card as I guess all of this model have, so why is listed Atheros?
    Because different models of Satellite R830 supports different Wlan cards from different manufacturers.

    > I'm afraid I have no idea what I need to install to get my Bluetooth works again. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Your laptop supports the network adapter Intel wireless (with feature of BT). For cards Intel WLan no Bluetooth filter package must be installed.
    In your case its just to install the Intel Wlan driver, battery Toshiba Bt and the Toshiba system driver

  • the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased

    I have a MBP with 2 SSD. Yosemite is running on the SSD that has been partitioned 1 TB to a 150 / 850 GB volumes.

    I wanted to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp but after succesfully download Windows software support that I can not go to the next step where I have to choose a volume (Pluto). Wizard Boot Camp shows my SSD and when I chose the following warning is displayed:

    "the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased."

    I see that Pluto isn't GUID and maybe that's the problem, but there are already some data on the volume of 850 GB that I can't erase. Is there a way to fix this without destroying the data? I don't even know why Pluto doesn't have GUID in the first place...

    Thnx,

    G

    You have two entries 'Pluto '. The outermost is a volume CoreStorage group, which has two volumes, one is named Pluto, the other is TerraNova. The 512 GB of Samsung is your second physical disk. The Pluto in the BC Assistant is the complete LVG, not only the volume of Pluto, which contains also of Terra Nova.

    BCA does not support such a configuration on your MBP. You will need to backup your data or manually partition the disk and do a little terminal work, if you want to install Windows in this configuration. The second SSD will complicate it further. You may need to physically remove the disk non-windows in order to install Windows.

    Your end of 2011 Mac does not support Windows 10 as described in using 10 Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple support . You will encounter problems of pilot.

  • Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails. They seem to have disappeared. This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.

    Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails.  They seem to have disappeared.  This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.  All hope of recovery?

    Thank you!

    Please read this in its entirety. It includes the restoration of the trash.
     
     
    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     
    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     
    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    And see:

    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
     
    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
     
    And backup often.
