25K+ Files which uses 30.5GB disk space - Is it safe to delete?

I am running Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003 and noticed that the folder D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\WIN2KSVR_DB1\sysman\recv\errors have 25K+ files which have 30.5GB folder size. Is it safe to delete these files?

Please refer below MOS doc
*DB Control directory ../sysman/recv/errors is filled up with xml files. [ID 732725.1]*

After deleting files, I still have no disk space

I had completely clogged my Mac HD with video files, so it was no wonder I had 0kb disc space left. But after I moved them to an external drive, finder is still saying there is no disc space. I have tried the following:
1. first moved around 11 GB of video files/iMovie and Premiere project files from the Movies folder to my external hard drive
2. restarted and shut down the computer several times. I expected to get a message having to do with File Vault so I could free up space that way, but no such message appeared and the computer just restarted or turned itself off each time.
3. Emptied the trash, which seems to have freed 440MB.
4. Ran the periodic daily, weekly, monthly system routines in terminal
5. In Disk Utility, Erased free space
6. In Disk Utility, verified disk
7. In Disk Utility, verified file permissions.
I don't know what else to do! I expected moving the video files to free up the disk space and Finder still says I have none. Help?

Hello,
A Sparse image is a type of disk image file that can be created under Mac OS X using Disk Utility. Encrypted sparse image files are used to secure a user's home directory by Mac OS X's FileVault feature. So if you use File Vault, you need that file.
Also, if you know the names of the video files, do a Search in Spotlight to see if there are any on the drive that Disk X might now have found. If you aren't sure of the file names, you could try .mov
It depends on the software you used to create those video files with to start with.
The light just went on over my head. If you used the apple+delete shortcut to delete the files from their original location after moving them to the external drive, that doesn't send them to the Trash in software such as iMovie. Launch iMovie. Go to File/Empty Trash. Anytime you delete files using iMovie, you have to delete them while using that application within that application. When you delete files in iMovie, it doesn't send those files to the Trash in the Dock, but in it's own app... just a temp memory cache if you will.

Database msdb cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space - in recovery pending status

came in this fine monday morning and it looks like developers were running some kind of trace that filled the primary DATA folder with about 80,000 5mb trace files. now that process has stopped and the logfiles have been cleaned up, but when attempting to connect to the server using the management console i get the error:
Database 'msdb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
when i check the status it is in recovery pending mode. i have a backup from yesterday but im not sure if this database became corrupt before that backup or not because this process was ongoing over the weekend. the last timestamp on the msdb and log files is 7am this morning..
I am not sure how to proceed recovering the msdb database with limiting interruption to the users. any advice is extremely appreciated. this is sql server 2008. i can login via sqlcmd and see it is in recovery pending status:
1> select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
2> sys.databases where name ='msdb'
3> go
select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
sys.databases where name ='msdb'
databasestatus_sysdtabase
RECOVERY_PENDING
(1 rows affected)

For someone experiencing a similar problem this answer is unacceptable. You're basically telling me to reboot the server to fix this. You vaguely mention using process explorer to find out who is using the file. Can you please provide
some more information on that? I have a similar problem and rebooting the server to fix it is not an option. This problem keeps reoccurring.
OS Error 32 means file has an open handle by someone else. If that is a user process then you can catch it via Process Explorer. If it's a kernel mode object then it's difficult to catch that and restart is the only choice.

After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files. When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error. What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

OraRRP Error with "Unable to copy data file;Error code 2, check disk space"

Hi,
Some users get this message -"Unable to copy data file;Error code 2, check disk space" when run report with orarrp, but most users do not get it.
I check free space at both server and client side, they are very sufficient.
I also checked directory exists for REPORTXX_TMP variable.
My user call reports via URL (rwservlet) and it occur for all reports.
How I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

Can someone please help me with this query:
How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

Hi Amila1,
Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
If so is the Preview pane turned ON?

I keep getting a Warning that I'm running out of disk space. Even after I deleted all of my photos and e-mail I still show 0 available. Please help!

I keep getting a Warning that I'm running out of disk space. Even after I deleted all of my photos and e-mail I still show 0 available space. Please help!

Correct KiltedTim the iPhone does not have a disk drive, and it does give an error message about running out of disk space. I'm here searching for how to clear it and/or what causes it. A friends 8gb iphone 3G has started giving her that message. It is not jailbroken, has no videos, 400 songs, 20 apps. The system information says there is 0 bytes free. There is 4.6 Gb of "other" data taking up the remaining free space. None of the few apps on the phone I expect would take up that much space with data. Even her emails and saved text messages shouldn't fill 4GB. New iPhone coming in the next couple of days. Easiest to just reset the old one after the upgrade and redownload the apps to make sure not to mess things up.

Verbatim disk drive historically used only for time machine backups. Recently i added some other media files to use some of available space without partitioning, the disc now refuses to mount in finder despite appearing in disk utility. Repair fails. HELP

Sorry to elaborate a bit more.
I have used time machine since owning my mac book pro with no issues. i keep the timemachine backups on an external hard drive made by Verbatim. This has not external power source.
Recently i decided to use up some of the available space on the external verbatim disk drive to store some movie files which were sitting on my macbook pro.
Therefore i created a new folder outside of the time machine backup folder and stored the movie files in there.
From then on Time machine failed... and a few days later i noticed it was not mounting in 'finder'
Therefore i used disk utility to see if it was recognising it. Which i was. However when i try to repair it the repair process fails.
In disk utility i am presented with 1 TB Samsung HN M10 which has a child called Verbatim HD.
The 1TB Samsung hardware appears fine, but the verbatim disk i am unable to fully verify and fix.
Does this mean i have lost all my back ups?
Have I lost all the media that i put on there?
Is there any way to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.
didier07...

To summarize: You used an external Verbatim HD for your TM backups. Then, you stored some movie files on the "spare" space on the Verbatim drive. Now, Disk Utility isn't being recognized, and repair is disabled. Your home Samsung drive is working fine, but the Verbatim cannot be verified.
The problem, I believe, is that the external Verbatim drive wasn't partitioned. There should be two partitions: one for TM backups, the other for video. That way, you can perform backups, and still retain some space for video or somesuch.
Frankly, I don't know how to fix this except through the following. (1) Erase the Verbatim drive, (2) Create a new blank space and format it, (3) Make two partitions - one for backup, the other for video. (4) Run TM through one partition, but switch to the other for your videos. The better solution might be to have one dedicated drive (perhaps the Verbatim) for backups, and another dedicated drive for video backups; that way, you'll have plenty of space for expansion.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm incorrect, but I believe you've essentially lost your backups and media. I don't know how you can retrieve that clump of the now-undifferentiated data on the Verbatim drive. To retrieve any lost data, you're going to require another external drive that's larger in capacity, as well as data recovery software; don't expect encouraging results. If you're desperate, there are firms like Drive Savers that can offer a more comprehensive solution - at a cost.

Why does TimeMachine use so much disk space?

I'm curious about this... after many horrible days with a completely unstable Leopard install, I bit the bullet and did another clean install. I also got myself a new LaCie 2big disk array specifically for TimeMachine.
Now, after yet another glorious Leopard OS hang/crash/cold reboot, TM is backing up some 50GB of data, 2 hours after the last backup, during which time at most a few e-mails, some html and gif data files, and maybe 5GB of copied music have changed.
The first backup made by TM was on 08 December.
Of my 450GB reserved for TM, I'll have about 150GB or so are still available after the current backup; meaning that *TimeMachine has used almost 300GB of disk space in 10 days* !
I have 120GB of data on my disks, however TM is set up to not back up any OS files, and to also exclude the Applications folder, the VMWare virtual disks, and all Cache files.
If I was to guess, I'd say TM is right now making a full backup of all the files, completely regardless of what it apparently has backed in its entirety up _several times_ before.
If that's true and the best Apple and their TimeMachine can come up with, then I'm sorry but I'll have to conclude that TimeMachine is utterly worthless -- unless one never ever has an unexpected system restart (in Leopard?! Keep dreaming...) or untold terabytes of disk space.
Is there a way I can find out what exactly has been and is being backed up, and when?
Leopard is one really disappointing OS so far, that's for sure.

Agreed. Time Machine is pretty, but it's a huge resource hog. Not only is it consuming drive space like it were an unlimited resource, but hourly backups (in which some files are being compressed, I think) eats away at CPU time. Unless you're zooming along on the latest and greatest machine while doing minimal work, you can definitely feel a performance lag when Time Machine is running.
My recommendation is to shut it off. Then, periodically CTRL-click on the Time Machine icon and choose Back Up Now. Hopefully Apple will soon upgrade the program to have actual features, other than switching it on and switching it off. Hourly backups seem excessive, even for the novice user.

Relocated original files to desktop (on low disk space) and lost photos?

Help! My wife and I exchanged our vows on the Napali Coast and we lost our photos...
2006 Macbook, iphoto06:
As I was importing our 200 photos from the hike, my computer warned me that I was running out of disk space and stopped before finishing the load. I regretfully opted to delete the photos from the camera as it imported (bummer). The photos were safe in my iphoto library when I returned the following day and cleared some disk space on my hard drive. I then imported the remaining photos and everything looked normal.
Here's where it gets weird. So I was looking at a photo and accidently deleted it from the iphoto library. I located the original file and reimported it, however the computer told me that I already had the photo in the library. I looked into help and followed the instructions to drag the rolls onto my desktop and reimport them into iphoto. I did this and consequently lost some 50 very special photos. Now the iphoto library had this giant gap filled with grey !!!'s where the photos were. I looked into the original rolls folders and found a number of the original files were now missing? Something obviously happened from me having moved the files from the originals folder to the desktop. When I returned to iphoto, I recieved a warning that I was running out of diskspace again and some of the recent changes may have been lost!
I have searched for the files according to their file numbers (from the missing thumbnail) and the files are not coming up on my search. The original files are not in the trash either?
My questions:
1. Is there any way to trace the history of my actions and undo my actions or salvage my files?
2. The images still appear in my iphoto library thumbnails when scrolling down the screen (briefly before turning to grey !'s). Can I somehow salvage the image from the thumbnails?
3. Do I have to find the original files to see the photos again?
I have learned to not mess with orignial files in iphoto, never delete when importng, and always have mucho diskspace when uploading.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Will and Julia in Kauai

As I was importing our 200 photos from the hike, my computer warned me that I was running out of disk space and stopped before finishing the load.
You should always have a minimum of 10 GB of free space on your boot hard drive for safe and proper operation of your computer. you must get at least that much free space to go forward
I regretfully opted to delete the photos from the camera as it imported (bummer).
It is recommended that you never have iPhoto delete your photos - wait until they are imported and tested (I wait for a backup cycle or two myself) and then use the camera to format the memory card - this will save you from many problems and reformats you card with every use which eliminates other issues
The photos were safe in my iphoto library when I returned the following day and cleared some disk space on my hard drive. I then imported the remaining photos and everything looked normal.
Here's where it gets weird. So I was looking at a photo and accidently deleted it from the iphoto library.
How did you do this? using iPhoto or using the finder?
I located the original file and reimported it, however the computer told me that I already had the photo in the library.

Again until you have a minimum of 10BG of free space you are risking many additional problems with your total system including iPhoto
I have searched for the files according to their file numbers (from the missing thumbnail) and the files are not coming up on my search. The original files are not in the trash either?
My questions:
1. Is there any way to trace the history of my actions and undo my actions or salvage my files?
No - but you may be able to recover the photos on your camera card using program like media recover - http://www.mediarecover.com/ - the trial version will tell you what is available for recovery
2. The images still appear in my iphoto library thumbnails when scrolling down the screen (briefly before turning to grey !'s). Can I somehow salvage the image from the thumbnails?
no
3. Do I have to find the original files to see the photos again?
Yes - either on your computer or on your camera media card
I have learned to not mess with orignial files in iphoto,
Yes - that is critical - doing so is likely to lose data and possibly photos
never delete when importng,
That is strongly recommended
and always have mucho diskspace when uploading.
Yes - 10GB minimum

In PSE will I use more hard-disk space by using iPhoto plus Organizer for photos?

I have PSE 10 on my MAC. I normally download my photos onto iPhoto (and a while ago, onto Bridge CS3 which came with an earlier version of PSE) but more recently have become interested in using the PSE Organizer for my photo library. I have started to transfer/copy the photos from iPhoto but, having read various topics on organizing photos, am a little worried that by having the photos in 2/3 places on the MAC I will use much more hard-disk space. I know that the original files for iPhoto are in the 'Library' so that I just see thumbnails on iPhoto ( I may be wrong here?), but will the photos I now have on Organizer be working off those same 'Library' originals or am I doubling up on the space required to store these photos?

For information my iPhoto is v 9.5.1 and would seem not to like .dng files so won't load them (I am using the Adobe RAW to DNG 8.3 Converter at the moment mainly because I would have to upgrade to PSE12 to get the RAW plug-in to process my Lumix G-6 RAW files, which is fairly expensive and, even then, my iPhoto would still be the same version unless I upgraded that as well!).
I can load the RAW files onto iPhoto but when I then send them to PSE or iPhoto itself for editing they seem to be automatically converted to .jpg and do not have the usual RAW editing selection palette. However, the PSE Organizer seems happy to accept the .dng files (but not the RAW files) and when sent to PSE for editing I do get the RAW type palette, so it looks like storing my .dng files in Organizer is a good idea and, therfore, I might as well store other photos there as well rather than run two different organizers - I will leave the photos in Bridge as they are.
If you are talking about photos not in iphoto, this is correct. If you use "from iPhoto" you will get automatic duplicates of the originals in a new location. If you export them manually and use from files and folders, yes, the organizer just makes a thumbnail.
This paragraph made me think! I'm pretty sure that when I decided to transfer my photos from iPhoto into PSE Organizer I used "from iPhoto" as this seemed the easiest way. Does this mean that I have duplicated the file size of my iPhoto library and am therefore using much more hard-disc space than if I had used "from files and folders" (getting just thumbnails)? The transfer seems to have pulled in a lot of folders! If this is the case, is there any way to go back and do it again but "from files and folders" next time?!
This is all rather complicated it would seem (or I'm making it that way!) and I really appreciate your help.

/Volumes using lots of disk space

Doing a get info on my server boot drive shows its using 53Gb of space which seemed very high to me considering what is on there
So I ran the command
sudo du -chxd 1 /
it reported that /Volumes was using 39Gb
Obviously I don't just want to remove what is in there as it is all the mounted volumes and I don't want to risk deleting data on them
how can I clear out this phantom data?

/Volumes contains entries for every mounted volume on your computer, so if you have any external hard disks, CDs, DVDs, or additional partitions they are show up in /Volumes and will therefore be included in that figure. What's more the actual boot drive itself also shows up in /Volumes. However normally this should not be an issue because the du (diskspace usage) command is clever enough to know the difference between files on one drive/volume/partition or another.
What I have seen happen however on a server providing network home directories is a crash to upset entries in the /Volumes directory. What happens is that normally you have an additional volume mounted on your server, lets say it is called Users this will therefore show up in /Volumes as /Volumes/Users this is then shared by the server and network login accounts store their home directories in this. Lets say there is then a crash on the server, because there has been a crash the normal shutdown process has not occurred and as a result the normal steps that 'unmount' this volume have not occurred. Therefore when the server is rebooted the folder /Volumes/Users still exists. What can happen then is that the auto-mount process will 'mount' the volume against a new entry called /Volumes/Users-1 even though it still shows in the Finder as just having the name Users. In fact if you connected two volumes at the same time with the same name the same thing happens.
At this point we now have two entries in /Volumes one called /Volumes/Users which is a left over from before the crash, and the new live entry which is called /Volumes/Users-1 the problem is that Open Directory is telling the users to access and store their network home directories in /Volumes/Users and that left over folder is being automatically shared by the server. Therefore when a user logs in they start automatically putting files in that leftover folder which is actually on the boot drive and no longer corresponds to the second volume.
Potentially several Gigabytes of data could end up in their incorrect entry.
You need to see what stuff in /Volumes is actually making up your disk space use. You can do this by the following command
sudo du -achx /Volumes
This should list all files/folders on the boot drive that are in /Volumes but exclude files stored on mounted drives.

How can I delete event files from iMovie to save disk space?

I have been shooting a lot of HD video of my son's soccer games and am now realizing some of the problems with the newer iMovie 10. It appears to not allow for partial video deletion of videos in events (really too bad because previous versions of iMovie did this really well), And, sometimes it will not actually move the deleted file to the Trash to help free up disk space on the computer. This is also a problem because I have to did around in the View in Finder mode to find the events I just deleted in order to move them to the Trash manually. Yeegads! All of this said, what I appear to have happening is a huge amount of video that I never plan to keep (most of a 90 minute soccer game does not make it into highlights -- imagine that?) clogging up my hard drive. My poor computer needs to have a cholesteral check.
Any advice on how to manage large video files 40 minute HD files within (or outside) of iMovie 10 so that I can efficiently eliminate irrelevant content and actually delete files to prevent disk overload would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking about using iMovie 9 to edit down and delete the unwanted footage and then update the files into iMovie 10 for some of its bells and whistles any problems with that?
I must admit, I think iMovie 10 is a failure in certain essential ways. It dropped Keywords, its deletion is not true deletion, and it's all or nothing when deleting an event. I have always been a huge Apple fan, but this new release of iMovie 10 has not been a good user experience for me. I have read a lot of feedback from others with similar problems and issues with iMovie 10 and would really like to understand what Apple plans to do to address some of these defficiencies in what will hopefully be a much better next version.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

HELPDeleted user account with file vault on to free disk space, to no avail

My saga is a long one. Quick telling: I am the administrator on my eMac, and was locked out of my desktop last spring when the disk became overly full. File vault was turned on, and I was told by my computer repair folks that since the desktop was encrypted, it could not be accessed. A sad situation, since I had not backed up the disk, and had years of family photos that were lost, not to mention iTunes, Quicken, and more.
Since then I bought a back-up disk, and saved a copy of that desktop, just in case.
My computer is overly full again, and today I decided to delete my old user account in order to free space. Of the 160G in this computer, 80% was associated with that user (that is, me). I deleted account via the System Preferences window and its Accounts window.
I emptied the trash, and 'got info' on my hard drive, only to see that nothing had disappeared, memory-wise! I am still nearly full--only having 2G available, rather than the 130 or more that I had hoped to free up.m I restarted too.
I went to Apple Support to find that one should turn off File Vault before deleting a user account. Unfortunately, this is impossible for me, since I can not/could not access the user account to turn it off.
SO here is my question: is there a way to delete the files of a user account that had file vault turned on, but that is inaccessible? There is no deleted user file in my User folder, by the way.
I am not suer what to do. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your insights.
The Tech Tool report happened after AppleJack, and never showed up before that. Restarting again just now, it showed up again.
I had not emptied the trash, but did now, and the 'get info' on my hard drive still shows that I have used nearly all of my 160 GB.
Re Disk Warrior: I do have it and just ran it. I emptied trash again and checked to see available disk space: I have 2.47 GB, so the problem still exists.
