Why the my folder appdata is so great?

While browsing my files, I noticed that my user folder takes place an unusual amount of space on my hard drive. I ended up watching in my AppData folder for the solution and found the culprit, AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows, who was 86 GB by itself. However, the cumulative size of the contents of the folder is negligible (90 MB). Hidden files are visible, so it would seem that there is a black hole containing 86 Go here.

Someone can explain this to me, or better yet, tell me how this cut to size?

I use a program called tree size free to determine what is stored on my hard drive.

    Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?

    Whenever I have send a message to my Mac Book Pro there is a duplicate in the sent folder. This does not happen with messages sent from the iPhone 6s or Outlook Web site. This happens only when I send a Hotmail.ca and not Gmail.com

    Hey TaylorP56659,

    I understand how to duplicate emails sent may irritate you, no worries however! I can help you to see if we can get this sorted out. So if it happens with your Hotmail account, try to check in Mail preferences, behaviors of the Hotmail account mailbox. It is possible that you have sent items save on the server that will allow the Mail application to have twice. This is because a local copy and the copy on the server downloaded is in the follow-up of the app the steps below to disable the registration of sent items on the server and will not happen. You can also check the Hotmail settings via webmail.

    1. launch the Mail application

    2 select email preferences from the Mail menu bar

    3. click on the tab accounts

    4. highlight your Hotmail account

    5. click on behaviors of the ball

    6. click on "store sent the Server Messages.

    7 close the preferences of Mail and send a test message

    You can see the other Preferences in the mailbox behaviors

    The steps above should stop these form of duplicates to appear in your sent folder in app Mail thank you for using communities of Apple Support

  • Why the Firefox on Android is so great? It uses 20-60 MB and fills the volume? (App: 24MB.) Data: 30 MB +)

    Summary:

    Firefox using too much space on my Android phone, and this causes problems on my phone for example errors "Low on space". Android applications are unable to obtain updates to security due to the use of the high area of Firefox, which is a security problem.

    Why Firefox uses as much space and how to prevent or solve this problem?

    Details:

    I am running Firefox on Android 2.3.4 18.0. I then Firefox my 8 GB SD card. This problem also occurs well in Firefox 19 & 20 of Firefox.

    Firefox uses a huge amount of space. This is the largest app on my phone by a long shot. It seems that Firefox will grow without limits, until what it triggers a "low on space" warning on the Android device. When this "low on space" warning is reached, Firefox becomes unstable and I'm unable to install other Android applications. Often applications cannot be updated due to high usage space of Firefox and cannot receive updates of security which is a security problem.

    Please see the following screenshot that shows that Firefox uses about 30 MB worth of space and is approximately two times larger than the next largest app, Google Maps.

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7di3oh1p98bh68v/AoxNuqMKd4/2013.01.20-16.17.40.JPEG

    If I go into ' settings: Applications: storage use: Firefox ", Android tells me that Firefox uses the following amount of space:

       Storage:
       Total: 29.60Mb
       Application: 1.85MB
       Data: 27.76MB
    
       Cache: 0.00B
    

    When Firefox is freshly installed, the "Total:" use is closer to 3MB. But in the coming days, this number increases to 30 MB.

    Why Firefox uses as much space and how to prevent or solve this problem?

    Thanks for pointing the "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" option I understand the implications of privacy to store the cache outside the profile directory, but I don't have much choice. Firefox as an App has increased slightly with the latest version (8 MB to a value of policies) and my phone was so full that the system was not the application updates to security for other applications. I have that is need to get this resolved the problems of disk space or I will stop using Firefox.

    I did it for free space:

    1. Create a new folder on my SD card ("/ mnt/sdcard/something /")
    2. Under ' subject: config' set browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to match the new directory created previously.
    3. Restart Firefox (I had to kill the Firefox application)
    4. Went to a few sites such as Facebook and Pinterest cache-heavy
    5. Checked the cache didn't work under ' subject: cache'
    6. Remove old files from the cache in my foo.profile/Cache Directory
    7. Went to "subject: config' and came back some of my manual settings that it took months to save disk space."

    Now Firefox uses 10 MB less space on the memory of my system, then he has done it before. I can also make the larger cache (much larger) which will speed up the display of Web pages.

    I couldn't create a symbolic link from my old Cache Directory to the new directory of Cache.

  • Why the App folder Data has it 97GB?

    My brand new computer (running Windows 7 Professional) shows that I've used 272 GB.  My user name is 192 GB.  My music takes over 95GB, but I didn't know what else could be chewing a lot of space.  When I got to the folders within my user name, I see an App Data folder that says he has 97 GB. Are there really 97GB, or is it pretty much a mirror of my music and other files that I have?  If not, where are the 95 GB which I can't explain?  I have looked in all other folders under my user name, but see no other who have same 1 GB in them.  I guess it must be a duplication of my music somewhere, but I can't.  I would really like that disk space.

    Yes, I had.  It is filled with folders of files for Microsoft, Google, HP and others.  I put the cursor on each one and do not see anything with any size or related to music.  I'm pretty good at working with the software, but when it comes to technical issues like that, I'm lost.  Any suggestions on what to look for?

    The Appdata folder should have three subfolders. Local, weak and roaming.
    One of those MUST have a huge amount of data.
    Right-click on each file and make the properties in order to limit, and then open the offending file and do the same until you identifiede hace occupying all the space... If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog

  • Why the empty folder reappears on the desktop in XP when I use the Save as command

    I'm under XP_SP3 with Firefox 8.0.1. I had an empty folder on my desktop called "D E M O" I used to use for downloads. I moved to another HD on my system and removed from the desktop computer.
    Now, any moment I DL EVERYTHING type of file with Firefox, the folder reappears on the desktop as soon as I hit him file, save as. I tested this out with IE6. IE6 does not re-create the folder.

    This might be a stupid answer, but did you really tell firefox to download to a different location?

    Personally I always Firefox ask me where to download files.

  • Why Thunderbird adds an A at the end of sentences when I save an email that I work on the drafts folder and then open it to work on it at a later date?

    Twice now I work on one e-mail then saved in the drafts folder to finish later and I supported then out of Thunderbird. From the opening of Thunderbird once more and goes to the open drafts folder and to work on the new Thunderbird email, the first time had added an A or an EA at the end of each sentence. I then had to go through the entire email to remove these letters. Today I saved a mail to the drafts folder, as before, and this time when I opened the e-mail again an A had been placed randomly at the end of some sentences, but not all. Yet once I had to go through the entire email and delete adding A I have not had a problem with Thunderbird that in the past. This has been the case during the past two weeks. I received a laptop computer and downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird on it, and it is the version that this happens with. I do not understand why the addition or the letters are added to the email. They are not something I typed in the email.

    I guess right, but sometimes, you can see an A type character when instead of an ordinary space, there is a space specially coded (and it is not decoding in a space of ugly).

    You type a space between sentences? If you type several spaces, it is possible that all but one of them could get specially coded because otherwise HTML will collapse into a single space.

  • Why pictures start automatically on reboot? I never use it and it does not appear in the startup folder.

  • Download a file should implement an option to open the file or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

    Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.

    Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.

    For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .

  • Why should I copy of a CVI DLL compiled in the System32 folder?

    Hello

    I've been letting the compiler CVI copy of a DLL (project) in the windows\System32 folder.

    It was mainly to leave more than 1 other executables CVI, installed in different folders under \Program Files\

    Discover and share this code of the DLL.

    In addition, when you build the kit distribution for the DLL, I directed the DLL must be installed in the System32 folder.

    When you introduce this concept in a review to an other software engineers, a mechanic found that the System32 folder should be reserved for windows, hardware drivers, etc.. My CVI DLL needs to reside in the working folder of the executable main partner, or any other location. His concerns were uninstalling and updating process, and if the DLL were at a location specified by the installer, it would be easier to follow, etc..

    I'm assuming that NEITHER recommended CVI to "COPY IN the \Windows\System32 folder. Why?

    Should my fellow engineer some friendly advice?

    [BTW, he used NEITHER CVI occasionally, especially with other languages]

    Thank you ALL

    Scott Youngren with CVI 8.1.x

    Hi Scott,.

    Even if we are aware of them or not, most programs use System32 as their destination of DLL.

    I myself wouldn't mind too much about.

    Have you seen this document?

    You can install to a different location and use the PATH environment variable where you can not convince that system32 is ok.

  • Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "Hide extensions of known file types" should be active?

    I have a generic question that apply for all recent versions of Windows.

    Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "hide known file extensions.

    types of files"should be active?

    If file extensions invisible brings no end of confusion to anyone trying to resolve anything.

    Let them invisible by default?  It seems a strange decision - and cause no end of

    I don't know what kind of joke someone plays, but it is not . I have already most likely to get surgery on both of my hands soon for carpal syndrome severe. For each round of a mouse wheel and all the clicks that I have to endure it's useless, my pain and my symptoms are growing more intense. I have 7 hard drives in my computer. I have search and locate and organize and delete and add files of ALL TIME. I'm in the Explorer of ALL TIME. It is deplorable that I had XP Pro because of threats of compliant. XP has at least had an Explorer who worked perfectly. Now of having to learn a new platform (Windows 7) and I am forced to support a program who has a child of 12 years could have better designed! How long still is * going to go? I discovered only recently that Explorer in Windows 7 has a tree that falls to the bottom of the page fricking every time that a file is opened, so I am forced to dive to the bottom of the page to locate the folder. So I started the research on the forums to see if I was losing my mind and just something wrong. I read messages from people complaining about this BS in 2007.

    This is the Bug of scrolling in the left pane.

    See the bottom of this post for help with the left pane scroll bug using Classic shell.

    Say you want Microsoft fixed it by voting on the Microsoft Connect Web site:

    http://connect.Microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/621426/bug-when-expanding-folders-in-Explorer-Server-2008-R2-and-Windows-7

    Look at the left pane scrolling bug:
    Video testimony of the bug of scrolling in the left pane using Windows Explorer in Windows 7
    This illustrates a way to reproduce it, by clicking on the triangle to expand a folder, that you are currently viewing as it reproduces.

    3. Windows Explorer navigation pane problem

    4. Explorer moves the folder selected to the bottom of the folder list. How can I stop this?

    5. behavior of strange folder in the left pane of Windows Explorer

    FIX THE BUG IN 10 MINUTES:

    The classic interface mainly eliminates the bug in Windows Explorer, but it will still exist in the open/save dialog boxes.

    Pane left scrolling bug (and other corrections):

    Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

    After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page for the classic interface.

    A solution that works for the restoration of some features.

    1) install the free Classic shell.  It's very customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer rather than a full blown replacement. You don't need to install the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
    2) restart the computer.


    3) launch Windows Explorer (Start - computer) and turn on "Always show Menus" (organize - Layout - check menu bar). It's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you wish.
    4) right click on the menu bar and turn on the 'Classic Explorer Bar.' This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
    5) go in the configuration and from there, you can change things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even hit back to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders). The Windows Vista folder display style looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but it gets rid of the horrible blow.
    6) adjust other settings you want.

    After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.  Vote for Microsoft to fix this bug.

    Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

    You can also let Microsoft know you want this bug fixed here: http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

  • In the past, I've added the folder appdata in my personnel file, now I want to get rid of him, how?

    in the past somehow I added the appdata folder to my personal user account folder (you know where contacts, desktop, downloads, Favorites, documents, photos, videos, files, etc.)

    It is a ghost folder that opens.

    How can I remove it from there?

    AppData is a file provided by Windows which must appear in your Windows profile folder in C:\Users\username.  Various programs (and Windows itself), create files and folders in AppData.  You don't want to remove it.

    However, you can hide it again.  In the profile folder where you see AppData, click Tools > folders and select the view tab.  Under "hidden files and folders", click the box marked 'do not show hidden files, folders or drives', and then click OK.  You should see is no longer at that point of AppData.
