Disk Space not restored after deleting iphone backup

Hi,
Today while restoring my iphone i realised that itunes had made multiple copies of ~3gb of my iphone data. Since my iphone was restored successfully I decided to remove all the backups and make a fresh new backup. After deleting the multiple backups I found that my available disk space had not increased at all. I even went to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and ther was nothing in there. So I went ahead and made a new backup which consumed additional ~3gb. And just to test if it was only itunes that was doing this I deleted my photos from iphoto ~5gb and even that did not give me back my 5gb. I went to trash and I dont have anything there.
So, here I am confused as to where my deleted stuff is going to because it does not seem like its getting deleted.
Anything that i can do get my space back?
Thanks,
Yogi

Local snapshots are hidden copies of files that have been changed or deleted in between Time Machine snapshots. They are stored in free space that would otherwise be unused, and therefore wasted. The space occupied by the snapshots is managed automatically. When free space starts to run low, the snapshots are deleted. The Finder reports the space occupied by local snapshots as "Available," which it is.
If there are unwanted changes to your files in between Time Machine snapshots — which may be far apart when you're moving around with a portable computer — you may be able to revert the changes from a local snapshot. If you disable local snapshots, you lose that protection, and you gain nothing. There is no offsetting benefit whatsoever; merely added risk.
Empty storage space is simply wasted. You paid for it to be there, but it's doing you no good at all. Local snapshots put it to use.
Very rarely, if ever, you might need to delete the local snapshot store in order to add a large amount of data all at once. If that need ever arises, which it probably won't, all you have to do is turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane, and then turn it back ON immediately.
You should ignore the bad advice that circulates on this site to disable local snapshots permanently by running a shell command. If you ran such a command, ask for instructions on how to reverse it.

Free disk space not changing after deleting (large) photos

Hi,
I wasn't sure whether to post this on the iPhoto board or on the MBA one, since it's not clear if it's a system-level issue or not. Anyway, I had about 30GB of free space on my 256GB MBA and the other day I deleted four or five albums of photos from my DSLR that I'd downloaded to my computer, after I made backups of them elsewhere. In total there were about 3,500 photos, roughly 24MB each on average. I made sure that after deleting them, I deleted my iPhoto Trash as well as the system Trash. Neverless, my level of free space hardly budged and if anything, it decreased slightly. I've read several threads saying to wait a while as sometimes the system takes a delay to adjust - that's fine.
It's now almost five days later and the situation remains the same, if not worse. I ran DaisyDisk and aside from the usual large folders (my movies in iTunes etc, none of which had been added to since I deleted all those photos), the only one I couldn't recognise was this folder iLifeAssetManagement (9GB). I know that there are a few threads about this one, and most people seem to suggest you can clear this if you're happy to lose the content in your Photo Stream. The thing is, I've looked through some of the images in this folder and I'm quite positive that a number of them are from the DSLR albums (there are CR2 files, which I believe is Canon's exclusive RAW format). Some of the others are definitely from my iCloud Photo stream. I'm more than glad to lose all the DSLR ones, though I'd like to keep the iCloud ones and I don't really want to have to sort through 5,000-odd files. I'm positive that this folder is related to why I never gained that free space.
Has anybody else had issues like this and any suggestions for clearing this folder of all the files I already meant to delete, whilst keeping the others? Or have you had issues relating to this? Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

If you've installed third-party software called "Disk Drill," I suggest you remove it according to the developer'sinstructions. If you prefer to keep the software, refer to the developer for support. Otherwise, see below.
You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

Table space not reduce after delete in oracle 11G

Hi Team,
I have a DB 11.1.0.7 on unix.
I have execute delete tables on tablespace, but this not reduce.
Thanks

What segment space management type is defined for the tablespace in question?

Then you should check out the documentation some more.
But even if you shrink the table segement what is that going to do for the data file size?
I don't undertand you.
ThanksYour thread is titled "Table space not reduce after delete in oracle 11G" which implies to me that you are interested in reducing the size of a tablespace (which really means reducing the size of the underlying datafile(s)).
So, if you shrink the size of the sys.aud$ table, will that cause the datafile(s) to become smaller? Will it accomplish your goal? What else, if anything, needs to happen?

Percentage of used table space not reduce after deletion

Hi..
This is my query to delete data from database:-
delete from $tb_data where to_char(partition_dt,'MON') = '$mm';
The $tb_data and $mm is variable and the $tb_data will be read input table name (as example backup_nx160, backup_ngn and etc) and the $mm will be capture the input month.
My question is why the percentage of used table space is not reduce after delete query was executed. Could somebody help me..
Please help me..
Thank you,

Is it the deleted space will be reused by the system ?Yes.
.. How could i check the real free tablespace or real usage table space ?If you have gathered statistics on the schema recently, then sum (avg_row_len*num_rows) should give you the exact number of bytes that are being consumed - assuming all tables are in a single tablespace under consideration. You can subtract this value from sum (dba_data_files.bytes) figure for the tablespace, to know exact free space.

Table space not reduce after delete in oracle 10g

Hi..
Based on my system, i have found that my oracle table space did not reduce after the deletion query. Why ?.. Could somebody help me. As your info, I am using oracle 10g.
Thank you,
Baharin

After Delete the table space will not be set free. high water mark will not be reset. to regain the space you need to recognize the objects from which you deleted the data. This can be done in many ways.
1) Move the objects.
Alter table temp move --> optionally tablespace clause can be used. After this you need to rebuild table indexes.
2) With 10g table can be shrinked or reorganize to free the space.
alter table mytable enable row movement;
alter table mytable shrink space;
3) Export/Import
export the objects and drop and recreate with import.

Disk image space not regained after deleting...

Using my Powerbook I created backups and a 300gb disk image as a pseudo partition on a 1TB Time Capsule. This was prior to owning my MBP. I then used the same Time Capsule to make backups for my new MBP. I went back to my Powerbook to try to regain that 300gb's by deleting the disk image. I stuck it in the trash and deleted... But no space was regained and now the disk image is obviously gone. I'm afraid, as I think more carefully about it, that I needed to erase the disk image, once mounted, in Disk Utility (which is where the disk image was created in the first place). I'm also afraid that I'm now going to have to reformat the entire drive, erasing all back ups from both the PB and MBP, to regain the space? If anyone knows anything about this or has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
Andrew

Thank you, Bob.
Ok, here's where I'm at...
I ran a Drive Genius 2 scan on the TC with my MBP and cancelled it after about 5 percent was completed. It was going to take all day and I didn't think it was going to do anything. To my surprise when I went back to my desktop and got info on the TC it showed over 500gb available, whereas before it showed 116gb available... so somehow I regained more than just my 300gb disk image worth of space back. Weird. (Although, I now understand how those figures can sometimes be misleading.) This rough figure would tell me that the MBP is also recognizing the Powerbook back ups as well even though they are not visible in Finder.
Next, I connected with my PB and Finder showed only 116gb available... which wasn't too surprising. I then ran the same procedure with Drive Genius, this time only to about .65 percent complete and when I went to get info it showed that I had 805gb available. HA! So I guess it is not recognizing the MBP backups but that's no big deal. I won't be making anymore back ups with the PB anyway.
Well, thanks for your help, Bob. I always learn something when I come to Discussions!

Table space not reused after deletion ?

Hi..
I am running on oracle 10g. Based on my system, i have created one query to delete old data from the table on daily basis. Below the sample query :-
delete from SNP_EXP_TXT
where I_TXT in (select I_TXT_SESS_MESS from SNP_SESSION
where SESS_END < trunc(SYSDATE - 1));
I have check on the database and all the old data are deleted from the table. But, I am confused why the table space keep increasing even the old data has been deleted.
I am assume that the problem because of the table space cannot be reused after the deletion. Could somebody help me how could i verified that and how could i ensure that all the table space can be reused ?
Thank you,
Baharin

Is there only one table, or are there other objects in the tablespace ? Are you sure this is the table that is growing ?
select segment_name, segment_type, bytes from dba_segments where tablespace = 'XXX';
It will also depend on how the data is inserted ? If you insert append, then it will grow the table.

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!

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.

How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

You can only restore the complete iPhone from a backup; you cannot restore selectively.
To restore an iCloud backup first go to settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone, then connect the phone to a power source and within range of an WiFi connection, go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. When the reset completes you will be given the option to restore a backup.

I want to free up pc disk space. Can i delete app data/files from my pc now I use iCloud??

Hi
I have not been able to find a relevant thread, if there is one please direct me.
Sorry if my use of jargon/process is not that clear.
I am using iCloud.
Can I, and how do I, delete app data from my laptop and keep all apps running normally and still on my ipad and ipod as they currently are?
My computer is overflowing and I see iCloud as a chance to clear some hard disk space.
If i delete the apps from my itunes browser on PC then it deletes them from my entire Itunes account. Can I just go into my itunes folder and delete the base application files?
If I remove files/apps and I sync my devices using my pc for music/video/photos etc then will it pick up that the apps and app data is missing from my pc?
Thanks in advance

PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less

Subject : PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less Total PO
Dear Friends
We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy with multiple approvers. After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced . The new PO value should have changed the PO release strategy. But it is not changed. Old release strategy only showing in the PO which is wrong.
Details of the PO
PO no 4500000123 with 5 line items Total PO value : 100,000 USD Release strategy : AB
PO line item 5 deleted. Now total PO value changed to 50,000 USD and the PO release strategy should have been changed to AA but not changed. Still showing PO release strategy AB only.
Are there any OSS notes available to correct his bug.
Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
release indicators change it to 4.It may works. Please explore to all 6 indicators..........
i.e,
1-cannot be changed
2-changable,no new determination of strategy
3-changable,new release in case of strategy
4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change
5-changable,new release if new strategy/outputted
6-changable,new release if new strategy or value changed/ outputted......
And check Characteristic description and value in Classification of Release strategies ........
I hope this will help you. Thanking you.

I just upgraded to the 5s but the sales lady did not restore from my last backup with my 4s. How do I get my pictures and settings restored?

I just upgraded to the 5s but the sales lady did not restore from my last backup with my 4s. How do I get my pictures and settings restored? I cannot seem to get it to give me that option. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks so much!

If the phone has already been set up, you will need to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to be able to go through the setup again. This time use Restore from Backup.
This will walk you through the setup screens:

My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried all the suggested decisions- didn't work.

My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried the default page - on it I don't have "Restore Previous Session" button. I tried with the history menu - the "Restore Previous Session" option is not even available, like I never had previous session. I have tried to put my settings to always restore the tabs from the previous time- in fact, this option is on "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for a very long time now. Still don't work. Please, give me ideas, or even set up some time to chat live. Thank you all in advance.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Time Machine won't restore a critical backup - disk space not sufficient error

Using Time Machine Restore Backup says my Macintosh HD has 55 GB available. I need to restore a 50GB Time Machine Backup from an external disk to the Macintosh HD device as the transfer destination of the restore copy it it gives me a message 'This Disk does not have enough space to restore your system'. In fact trying to restore all my many time backups over the past months give the same error even though the backup size is less then my Macintosh HD destination.
So I used the Time Machine software to delete many of my documents in the backup that I want to restore, now it is 30 GB through the Time machine finder, but restoring still gives me the same error. However, time machine made a new backup of my system today of 30 GB but when I go through the backup process using this, there is no error about there not being enough space.
It seems although the finder in Time Machine recognises that file is just 30 GB, in the restore process it doesn't recognise that file has been reduced to 30GB

If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.
