• I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.

  I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.  I ran disk cleanup, disk defragmentation and cleaned up all the old files and still only have 793 MB free on GB total 103.  I noticed that my 6.0.6002.18005_001c11ba_blobs.bin file takes 54.9 GB of space.  In research, it seems that it is safe to delete this file--is that true?  If so, how? It seems that I need permission to do this.

  To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

  Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

  You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

  You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

  Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

• Windows 7: C:\ of used disk space increase GB on windows updates.

  I have a new Windows 7 system. I noticed that whenever I do a windows update and some time after I do an update, exhausted C: increase GB disk space. He went, as seen in the properties of C:,18.2 GB to 25.6 26.1 to 26.5 to 26.7 at 26.8 GB in 1 month. These sizes are shown in the properties of the c of theoutside of C:. I started to monitor the size of the disk and found that if I go in the C: drive and highlight all the files and folders visible and hidden and then ask properties it shows constant23 GB and shows that properties outside C: C: drive showed25.6 GB. The C: Windows folder shows constant 14.6 GB. So why the gap between the inside and the outside and why the increase in size?

  I used the disc cleanup etc but the problem remains.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner also comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• When is it safe to remove the old updates and patches recover disk space?

  I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

  Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

  If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.

• Where I go all my disk space?

  I would like to ask why my C drive shows I've exhausted more than 100 GB of space, but when I tried to check the size of my files and folders, individually they add only up to 60 GB. I enabled the display of hidden files. I also deleted my Recycle Bin. What became of the rest of my disk space?

  by default system restore will have up to 15% of the capacity of the hard disk

  Example: the hard drive of 300 GB x 15% = 45GBs

  The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:

  • Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.

  • System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

  I don't have this problem on my other pc just this laptop.
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  It seems that no one is able to answer this question here. If you have 2 possibilities:

  -disable the update of windows to avoid an additional installation of new updates and etc...
  -go to "Add/Remove Applications" and uncheck the 'Show updates' (or something similar). This box should be at the bottom of this window

  Otherwise, you should check out other, more associated microsoft forums, or just google a bit around to find an answer.

• Windows Easy Transfer - not enough disk space

  I thought I was effective with my space of C: drive when I created a partition of 19G for Win 7 64 bit install.  Installation went well.  But now, I get an error when I try to use Windows Easy Transfer to replace the files and settings in the C: drive.  I'm getting "there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.

  I tried to extend the partition of 19G using the diskpart command line, but obviously I don't understand this thing of partition or volume.  I have 908G free on the C: drive.  Why don't Windows Easy Transfer make me do?

  You can walk me through how to get Windows Easy Transfer to use the available space?  I tried creating and formatting a volume with free space and which does not work either.  (Not shown in the screenshot.)

  Screenshots:

  

  I solved my problem and will document the answer if someone reads this thread.

  Not being warned of partition, I was really afraid of 'delete partition' given the warning message.  Once I thought logically through what would happen that I chose to delete the partition.

  Deletion of de facto partition the partition itself is no longer accessible, but it did not space reconciliations.  Once the partition has been deleted, it was labeled "unallocated" in the management of the computer-> disk management GUI.  At that time I could right click on the c: partition and choose to extend it.
