Dumping 'previous system' folders - curious about time required

Hello - In an effort to free up disk space, I've dumped the 'previous system' folder (created during 'archive and install' operation). There were two instances of this, hence two prev sys's. There are 853,563 items to delete and it looks as though it manages to dump roughly 5,000 items per hour.
The math indicates that it could take about 170 hours to complete this process. Does that sound right?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. What you told me to do makes sense - I did as you said:
- Stopped the deletion of the prev sys's
- created a new untitled folder on desktop
- dragged two prev sys files from Trash into new unnamed folder
- created two new folders and named them 'precisely' as the old folders
- dragged them onto unnamed folder that contained the two actual prev sys folders
? was not asked for confirmation about replacement
? when I clicked on unnamed folder it contained the two new 'empty' folders plus a folder named "Previous Systems" that I didn't put in there. Within that folder were the two actual prev sys folders.
I tried moving them around - I tried creating a new desktop folder named "Previous Systems" and dragging the empties into that and then that into the unnamed folder. Was never asked for confirmation about replacement . . .
Any hints?
Thank you for your help.

  • What to do with Previous System Folders?

    First of all, Happy New Year to all!
    I just spent two days doing an "Archive and Install" on my iMac at the advice of an Apple Genius who checked out my iMac at the Apple store. He said my iMac was running very slow but couldn't find any reason for it.
    The first "Archive and Install" took six hours on the 30th, and then it was several more hours to get the software back up to speed with all of the updates. But after all of that, my system ended up in the Kernal Panic screen on start up. So today I got on the phone with Apple Care and they had me boot up with the Leopard Install DVD in the drive, holding down the C key. That worked, but I was back to square one with my Archive and Install.
    The second try yesterday took another 6 hours, and then it took several hours to get my software back up to speed again. The Apple Care guy told me the Install should only take an hour, so that right there tells me something isn't right. Anyway, here I am after two very long days, with my iMac at least functioning again, albeit not faster as I had hoped. It's still running slow as molasses. This post has taken me forever to write due to only being able to type three or four letters, then wait for SBOD to stop spinning, then another two or three letters. It's so frustrating.
    But, my main reason for posting here is to ask two questions.
    1. The two "Archive and Installs" left me with two "Previous System Folders" on my hard drive that are almost 21 GB's!! I had 74 GB's free before and now have only 53. Can I dump those folders and get my space back? I sure hope so. If so, how do I safely do it?
    2. The three folders on my dock at the right end; Applications, Documents, and Downloads, used to be in nice neat folders with symbols on them indicating what they are, but now they're just plain folders with stuff sticking out of the top of them, and in the case of the Applications folder, the Address book app is sitting on top of the folder, rather than inside of it, and all I see is the Address book icon, not the folder. How do I get those folders back to normal? I hate the way they look now!
    I'm very frustrated that I'm having all of these problems with my iMac, but grateful at this point that I extended my warranty before the first year was up. I'm definitely going to have to take it back in for more help. I don't think it should take four minutes for iTunes to start up and shut down, four minutes for iPhoto to shut down, or two minutes for a photo to open up in iPhoto after clicking on it, etc., etc. I have the Spinning Beach Ball of Death spinning way more than it should! I'm tired of constantly having to wait for it to stop so I can continue.
    Ironically, I installed two more Gigs of RAM less than six months ago so that I would have a faster computer, but I never really noticed a difference. Although it wasn't this slow the first few months.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my two questions up above, and thanks for listening to me while I expressed my frustration.
    Deb

    Hi Deb,
    This may be ten days late, and way, way too long, but you might want to try some of these suggestions, especially if AppleCare, or someone else, hasn't fixed it for you. You'll probably need to print out all this stuff. It's all stuff I've found useful in similar situations. There is no particular order to check things, but you might want check the utility "Activity Monitor" first and then try setting up a new account. That has worked for me.
    Launch "Activity Monitor" (found in the utility folder inside the root Applications folder) and click on the CPU column to see if some background process or another application is running and using a large percentage of the processor's time. Also check the RAM columns to see if something is using a lot of the available RAM. If there is something that doesn't seem right, you can select it and double click the questionable item - a dialog box will appear that allows you to quit. That may solve the problem of spinning "pizza wheels" of death without a restart. At the least you'll have a good question to ask AppleCare (though they'll definitely suggest Activity Monitor.
    You may also want to set up a new account in Apple Menu/System Prefs/Accounts with a different name and password. Then within that account try launching some apps from the Root Applications folder. They may now work in the new account. You can also install some apps you use most within the new account. Those apps will be placed in the Applications folder within the new home folder of the new account - NOT in the root Applications folder (the one you see when you double click the hard drive icon).
    If you haven't set up a new account before it will seem strange when you first startup. Nothing is the same - the desktop, dock, etc will be like when the machine was new. But often, using the new account, and finding the sluggishness is now gone, tells you the problem was in the old account - even if you can't find what the problem was. The old account is still there. But setting up the new account will take some additional drive space if you reinstall applications.
    Whatever you do, *_don't just delete the old account_* as that will also delete all your documents, videos, photos, etc. You can copy or move between accounts with your administrator password. The Library folder in the old Home folder will contain a lot of stuff you may want to keep, but also can contain the corrupt file that caused the sluggishness problem. You may want to copy the contents of different User/New Acct Home folder/Library folders a little at a time and reboot after changes. If the sluggishness reappears, then pull out the last items you put in and try to narrow it down.
    If you don't want to set up a new account initially try some of these suggestions. Uninstall and reinstall the major applications that run slowly. Use the uninstaller that comes with the app. If there is none, then just reinstall and restart. That might solve the problem. Reinstall whatever apps you need. Can't hurt and may eliminate some file corruption.
    After you restart, and BEFORE you launch any application, press and hold the Cmd (Apple) Key and then hit tab. You will see which apps are running in addition to the Finder. If there is stuff you didn't launch, keep pressing Cmd-Tab which will highlight each application. When selected, you can quit the application [Cmd-Q ]. Or just release the Cmd-Tab keys with the app selected and it's name should appear at the top left of the menu bar. There, you can pull down the menu and quit it (or press Cmd-Q). If it doesn't quit try to Force Quit [Opt-Cmd-Escape]. Try not to quit the Finder. Then launch the apps you need and see if they are still sluggish.
    If there was stuff running and you don't know why, check your Account (Apple Menu/System Prefs/Accounts). Accounts is the first item on the System row (next to last row down). Click Accounts and when it opens, click the the account you're using (if there are more than one). Then click the Login Items tab near the top of the window. You'll see a list of apps that launch whenever you start up (sometimes in the background). If you don't recognize some of what's there you can remove them using the [-] icon. You'll have to unlock the account with your password and then re-lock it to prevent others from changing stuff.
    Restart or log-out and log-in and see if the machine is faster without one or more of the removed items. There are things that are best not touched, but you'll probably know by their names. Pretty much anything you'd add will be found in the Applications or Utility folders. Other stuff is added by applications when they are installed. Make a list of whatever you remove if you have to add it back. If an application needs something you removed, you may be asked to reinstall the app.
    That's it - hope it helps.

  • Previous Systems Folders

    I have 2 Previous Systems folders on my hard drive, each with an Applications, Library, private, System, and Users folder. Some are empty, but like the Applications folder is full of Mac software. These folders are in addition to the normal folders of Applications, Applications (Mac OS9), Library, System X, Systems Folder 9, Updaters, User Guides and Information, and Users.
    Can I dump the Previous Systems folders and free up some valuable hard drive space?
    Thanks,
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    You can, as long as you have verified all the data from the previous Archive and Installs that you want to keep has been moved over to the current Users folder, and Applications folder. That means checking your iTunes library, iPhoto library, and any documents you stored. Typically if you Save User and Network settings all of them should be moved over. If you ever didn't save User and Network Settings, it might be a problem. Also the contents of the Shared folder which AOL uses may not have been moved over, if you use AOL.
    The quickest way to get rid of those folders once you verified all the data is moved over, is first to backup your data, and then use http://www.macosxcocktail.com/
    Note, Cocktail is a multipurpose utility which should only be used for troubleshooting and forcing deleting folders when you are familiar with what you are deleting. A lot of its functions which some claim are good for maintenance may actually cause more damage than good if used at the wrong time.

  • Archiving "Previous Systems" folders (unsuccessful)

    I have been trying to archive "Previous Systems" folders on DVD to get them off my hard drive where they're taking up space.
    Every time I try to burn them to DVD using OS X's Burn facility or Toast, it starts to burn, but eventually says something along the lines of 'Some of the files could not be burned because you do not have sufficient privileges.'
    I tried to compress them using OS X's .zip compress tool as well as just about every third party compression tool available, but got a similar message.
    Does anyone know a way to successfully archive on an external medium (DVD) "Previous Systems" so they aren't sitting there taking up room on my hard drive?
    Any help is appreciated.
    -Mike

    you should simply delete that folder once you know everything on your system works. there is no reason to keep it around or back it up.

  • Previous system folders hav 10gb on an 80mb disk  could not repair vol

    I'm trying to install Virtual PC. It seems to hang and the reason I suspect is there isn't enough disk space. Can I delete the previous system folders? I shouldn't need them for anything I can think of. There are two of them 5gb each.
    I have another problem I ran disk repair and it said one vol could not be repaired in red but it did say 1 vol was repeaired. I'm not sure what this means since there should only be one vol on my hard drive? When I ran disk repair I got the following messages:
    Checking HFS+ vol
    checking Extents overflow file
    checking catalog file
    Reserved words in catalog record incorrect data
    checking multi-linked files
    checking catalog hierarchy
    checking extended attributes
    Invalid leaf record count should be 6706 not 549
    checking vol bitmap
    checking vol info on Mac HD
    Repairing vol
    the vol was repaired
    1 HFS vol repaired
    1 vol not repaired
    I have MySQL Server and PHP installed. I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. I need VPC to run and I need space to install Windows on the Mac HD but I'm wondering why disk repair could not repair 1 vol and why it thinks there were two volumns.
    thanks in advance,

    Is there a second partition for Virtual PC, or other use?
    In Disk Utility, each partition should be listed below the main line (with the Drive name/size).
    If there are two (or more) then you have multiple volumes.
    The one named "Mac HD," that was repaired, is almost certainly your boot volume, so look at the other(s).
    See what the format of each is, by clicking on it and looking at the bottom. If it's not some flavor of Mac OS Extended, then DU likely can't repair it.

  • Dump Previous Systems and Damaged Files?

    I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.6) from 10.3.9. I have two new folders on my Finder now, Previous Systems and Damaged Files. As I have only 25 GB of an 80 gig hard drive left, is it OK to dump them?
    eMac 1.24 GHz Power PC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    With 25 GB remaining you should be in no immediate danger of filling the hard drive and killing the system, so you can take your time checking out 10.4.6 before you toss the Previous Systems folder. You can look it over and decide if there are any files in there you want to still use. That said, I kept the Previous System folder around on my eMac after updating for all of maybe three days, so yeah, you can toss Previous Systems.
    I'd be more concerned about a Damaged Files folder. I've never seen thaat as part of an upgrade, it suggests there may be directory or physical disk damage. If you open Disk Utility, what does it show for your hard drive's SMART status? If you boot from the Tiger install disk and run Disk Utility> Repair Disk from the Installer menu, does it report any problems? What sort of files are in the Damaged Files folder?

  • Just curious about time capsule plus time machine

    so i was checking my time machine settings and instead of the regular time machine icons they seem to keep changing and also display the amount of space used or available:
    shouldnt the drive be the same icon with the clock on it and display the amount of space left on the Timecapsule drive?
    Btw Data (Time Machine) = the drive all my BackUps goto
    Media (Time Capsule) = network drive attached with my media files
    thanks!!

    Oh okay, thank you!
    yeah i noticed in Snow Leopard it did that too.
    same with viewing my other computers on the network in finders sidebar.
    it just showed the NAME and not the Icon for the computer, very weird!

  • About "Previous Systems" into "Macintosh HD".

    I installed 3 times in one year tiger on my PowerBook G4, that by
    preserving my initial adjustments.
    That functions well and correctly;
    but I question myself in Macintosh HD, then in the file "Previous Systems", if I must preserve the files "system preceding 1"; "preceding system 2"; "preceding system 3".
    I notice that they take much memory to me and I believe that they are not used any more for nothing after the complete reinstalment Tiger.
    - is this exact that I can throw them to the trash?
    Thank you to say to me if I must preserve them or not.
    regards.

    Hi
    If you have done an Archive & Install, & if you have everything out of the Previous System Folders that you need, then you can throw then in, then empty, the trash.

  • Previous systems in hard drive

    I have an iBook G4. My problem is this. My computer is very slow in closing down or re-starting; I have two previous system folders on my computer, and have had them for some time. They are there because of problems I had about two years ago. Can I delete these? I have updated periodically and now have version 10.4.11. I know that I am getting short of memory and could use the space as these two previous systems take up a lot of space.

    Hi. It is perfectly OK to Trash those previous systems as long as you have moved everything that you want into your current system. Don't forget to empty the Trash
    Have fun,

  • Can I delete 'Previous Systems' folder?

    I have re-installed Max OS X twice, first time 2 years ago, the last time was yesterday. This last time I noticed at some point a message that the previous system could not be used anymore for starting up (I hope I recollect this correctly).
    When I look on the HD there is a folder with '2 previous systems' folders, and both folders have 7 items, and each folder has 7 sub-folders. (Applications, Library etc.)
    I assume that this takes up space on the hard drive? Does the newly installed sw need these old items? If not, would it free space if I delete these old system folders?
    Thank you in advance for any information.
    Milli.

    Some people keep them for a little while in case there is a plugin or settings file that they had in their old system that they want to put in their new one. Once you have decided you don't need any of those you can just trash them.

  • Post Leopard Installation - Transfer data from "Previous System" folder

    After the first attempt to install Leopard and got the evil blue screen, I had to reinstall my old Tiger from the original installation disks, then attempted a new installation of Leopard. This time I chose Archive and Install as one support article suggested, and chose Preserve user and network settings as instructed. This time the Leopard installation was successful, but now how do I retrieve my data (photos/itunes/mail)etc. from the "Previous System" folders?

    There should be no need to sync the files. A previous system folder happens when you do an archive and install, so what's in that folder is identical to what your Mac was when you last did one. Presumably you've changed a lot of things since then and wouldn't want to go back.
    Unless there are a few files you deleted and want back, then just copy them over. Then delete the entire thing, it's using up disk space.

  • Performed Archive and Install now Previous System User File is Empty

    Performed Archive and install yesterday -selected the save users and networks option. When it was complete - the machine worked - but when I went into the previous system folders the user folder is empty. I have almost no space left on my drive - so i think my stuff is still out there somewhere - is it?
    Help!
    I do have backups of most things - but there is no room on my hard drive to restore from my backup.

    How much space DO you have?
    If you can boot from another fdrive for now, that;d be good.
    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is now free, and likely the best/easiest...
    http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/
    Perhaps they are there but invisible!?
    If you want to try to recover them, you should quit using the computer asap. Possibility exists of losing everything. Backup if at all possible.
    Unfortunately DU can't fix all that much, your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.

    If DW can't fix it, you might try Data Rescue II...
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php

  • Reducing time required for ABAP-only copyback (system copy) process

    Our company is investigating how to reduce the amount of time it takes to perform a copyback (system copy) from a production ABAP system to a QA system.  We use a similar process for all ABAP-only systems in our landscape, ranging from 3.1h systems to ECC6.0 ABAP-only systems on both DB2 and Oracle database platforms, and the process takes approximately two weeks of effort from end-to-end (this includes time required to resolve any issues encountered). 
    Here is an overview of the process we use:
    u2022     Create and release backup transports of key system tables and IDu2019s (via client copy) in the QA system to be overwritten (including RFC-related tables, partner profile and IDOC setup-related tables,  scheduled background jobs, archiving configuration, etc.).
    u2022     Reconfigure the landscape transport route to remove QA system from transport landscape.
    u2022                    Create a virtual import queue attached to the development system to capture all transports released from development during the QA downtime.
    u2022     Take a backup of the target production database.
    u2022     Overwrite the QA destination database with the production copy.
    u2022     Localize the database (performed by DBAu2019s).
    u2022     Overview of Basis tasks (for smaller systems, this process can be completed in one or two days, but for larger systems, this process takes closer to 5 days because of the BDLS runtime and the time it takes to import larger transport requests and the user ID client copy transports):
    o     Import the SAP license.
    o     Execute SICK to check the system.
    o     Execute BDLS to localize the system.
    o     Clear out performance statistics and scheduled background jobs.
    o     Import the backup transports.
    o     Import the QA client copy of user IDu2019s.
    o     Import/reschedule background jobs.
    o     Perform any system-specific localization (example: for a CRM system with TREX, delete the old indexes).
    u2022     Restore the previous transport route to include the QA system back into the landscape.
    u2022     Import all transports released from the development system during the QA system downtime.
    Our companyu2019s procedure is similar to the procedure demonstrated in this 2010 TechEd session:
    http://www.sapteched.com/10/usa/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=825
    Does anyone have experience with a more efficient process that minimizes the downtime of the QA system?
    Also, has anyone had a positive experience with the system copy automation tools offered by various companies (e.g., UC4, Tidal)?
    Thank you,
    Matt

    Hi,
    > One system that immediately comes to mind has a database size of 2TB.  While we have reduced the copyback time for this system by running multiple BDLS sessions in parallel, that process still takes a long time to complete.  Also, for the same system, importing the client copy transports of user ID's takes about 8 hours (one full workday) to complete.
    >
    For BDLS run, I agree with Olivier.
    > The 2 weeks time also factors in time to resolve any issues that are encountered, such as issues with the database restore/localization process or issues resulting from human error.  An example of human error could be forgetting to request temporary ID's to be created in the production system for use in the QA system after it has been initially restored (our standard production Basis role does not contain all authorizations required for the QA localization effort).
    >
    For the issues that you encounter because of system copy, you can minimize this time period as you would be doing it on periodic basis (making some task list) and you can make a note of issues that you faced in previous run. So, normally i don't count it as system copy time
    Thanks

  • HT201250 Time Machine stopped backing up system folders

    A couple of months ago, Time Machine stopped backing up my System folder and my Library folder. What is going on?

    Your system folders.  Some people don't want them (and/or other things) to be backed-up. 
    i don't see any option to change what time machine backs up and what it doesn't back up.
    That's where you can tell it not to back up certain things, or to back up external HDs.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #10.
    I don't recall seeing those folders not being backed-up unless they were specifically excluded.   Is your Applications folder getting backed-up?
    Perhaps the preferences file has been damaged.  Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    EDIT:  Note that when TM does back them up for the first time, it will be a fairly large backup, and seem pretty slow.  That's because those folders contain many thousands of mostly small files.

    Hi JoseRebelo,
    According to the title ,do you mean the host machine will reboot when we start the virtual machine and the virtual machine will crash or just the virtual will reboot ?Have you got a BSOD(Blue screen) ?
    Did the issue occur before ?Have you installed any third party software recently ?
    Please ensure the host machine has got the latest updates.
    I suspect there may be a third party conflicts here.
    Please try clean boot to have a troubleshoot .
