Folder size increasing

Hi NI engineers,
During the development of an application, I was surprised with a message from the operational system warning me that my PC was running with very few memory space. After searching the folder with high data size, I realized it was <C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\data>. Many *.CDPG files are created each minute in that folder, even though Labview is not running!!  Each file sizes around 1MB. To free space on my PC and get it working again, I had to delete around 65000 files. After a quick research on the internet, I found out this files are created by citadel database. I removed all my data sets in MAX, but the folder stills growing.
Do you have an idea on how I could prevent from this unexpected folder growth?
Thanks in advance,
Luiz

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Norbert,
You bet!!!
There are many shared variables deployed. Prior to ask you, I changed the their log properties, but the folder was growing still.According to your suggestion and undeploying them, no other file was created within the folder.
Thanks a lot for your prompt answer!

  • 'HDD Recovery' folder size increases on "D" partition

    I'm the sattelite Toshiba laptop owner, lately I've noticed that my (unused) D: disk is out of space and after close analysis I've figured out that the folder 'HDDRecovery' size is >200GB.
    I do not want to remove the folder or delete image files within as I need recovery functionality but I do not have any idea how to manage recovery process to decrease the volume.
    Do you have any idea how to tackle this?
    Wojtek

    Hi
    It sounds strange to me that the HDD recovery folder size would in increase up to 200GB continually. Probably notebook stores the back-up files automatically in this folder but Im not quite sure why
    However, I recommend you to create an recovery medium (recovery disk) using the Toshiba
    Recovery Medium Creator (this software preinstalled on the Toshiba notebook).
    The usage of Recovery Disk (or recovery USB stick) would set the notebook back to factory settings and even if you would delete the HDD recovery folder or the whole partition, this partition and these files would be created again.
    Hope this info could be helpful for you.

  • Is there a way to put more apps (increase the folder size limit) in iOS 5.0.1 on iPad2

    I read on some site that there is an app that allows one to increase the desktop folder size limit in iOS 5.0.1 on an iPad2 does anyone have any info please?
    Thanks for any thoughts in advance.....
    Dave

    Firstly, Thanks for taking the time to reply :-) 
    It's not that I want gazillions of apps, I just wanted to put more in each folder so I don't have to have multiple folders with similar names....Weather1, 2, 3,etc.... but I see your point and appreciate the thoughts.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 file size increases 10x

    When I edit a pdf file in Acrobat Pro 9, even the smallest edit like the date, my document size increases by 10 fold.  Another user, on the same version, makes the same edit and it does not change much at all.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times, tried Reduce File Size and many other things but nothing seems to work.  Has anyone else experienced this same thing and found a resolution?

    That is my bad...I must have been in a hurry trying to beat the snow storm and misposted.  How can I move or delete and get this in the correct forum?
    Thanks

  • Maximum folder size in 10.5.2?

    What is the maximum folder size now in 10.5.2?
    For around 10 years I've been using numerous partitions to organize my files and for easy backup, but I know that quite a while ago (years) the maximum folder size was dramatically increased (2GB > ?).
    Has anyone had problems with these larger folders?
    My files are extremely important (clients' files) so safety and stability are more important to me than anything else (i.e. the simplicity of fewer partitions perhaps).
    Of course I could simply do a search for specs regarding this on Apple's website, but it would not indicate as to just how stable such huge folders have been for everyone.
    Thanks for any info on this.

    I went to
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HierarchicalFileSystem
    And I did carefully read the Apple white paper but still no where do I see a maximum folder size for within a volume
    So I can only assume there is no maximum... that is... that you can actually have literally all of your files and folders in a volume within one folder even if it takes up 90% of the volume's/partition's space.
    I originally posted this because rather than reformatting a couple of my hard drives... I was considering moving a couple of the partitions contents (each with around 40 GB of important files) to a larger partition and place each partition's contents in to individual folders. In-other-words... moving two 40 GB partitions to two separate folders within another 100 GB + partition. Thereby freeing up two 40 GB partitions without having to reformat my drives.
    Anyone see a problem with that?

  • PDF  size increase

    When I edit an image in PS that I extracted from Acrobat, why does the meg size increase with each edit?

    I tried that after posting this question and the size was back at the original size, 19mb. I had extracted an image from an ad, color corrected an area, chose Save in PS, closed the image and watched the pdf in Acrobat refresh itself with the edit. I then chose Save in Acrobat, extracted the image into PS again and did another edit. That's when I saw the mb size increase. I can only do one edit in PS and then I have to save it back into Acrobat. If I try to do several different color corrections in PS and choose Save, a dialogue box opens that asks me what I would like to name this temp pdf that saves into a Temp folder. When I was making an edit, saving in PS and then closing that image to save the pdf as the same name, the mb size increased each time until it was up to 334 mb !  I am using Acrobat 7 Pro and PS CS 5.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Sccm Client Cache folder size growing instead of limit set

    Hi Everyone.
    Greetings.
    We have noticed that in our sccm environment, the cache folder size (under CCM path) in clients keeps increasing but however it should not as i believe the older contents automatically to be removed while downloading new contents.
    The cache folder to download the contents as by default set to 5GB and we haven't modified anything on that. 
    Please suggest us on this as it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Thangaraj

    Hi Jason,
    Yes. However we are using software distribution as well.
    We noticed recently this large size CCM folder (19GB) in one of our server as C drive is running out of space. 
    But when i looked at the contents inside that CCMCache folder, below are the findings.
    The content size of all the advertisements are around 18GB.
    The content size of software updates are around 1GB.
    MS KB patches, Service packs are pushed through software advertisement(present inside folder named as package ID. So it cannot be considered as software updates deployment right?
    Please suggest. Thanks.

    Hello Zubair,
    This dumps are getting created due to some issue SQL server is facing.Its not a SQL Server transaction log file dump.I guess your system is not updated to latest Service pack.
    Latest Service Pack for SQL server 2008 R2 is SP2.Apply this SP and see if this dump generation subsides.If not you need to raise a case with Microsoft to get these dumps analyzed.

  • IPA size increasing after itunes connect upload

    Hello,
    it seems that the IPA size increases after upload to the AppStore: i have an 8Mo IPA (where near 80% is Air runtime), when it's uploaded to the AppStore i get a 21Mo file to download.

    The IPA file you've made is really a zip file. The one from the app store is more of a package. If you rename your IPA to end as .zip, and uncompress that, what is the size of the app file that is inside the Payload folder? That's roughly the size the app store IPA will be.

  • Outlook 2010 - Data File Properties/Folder Size verses Windows Explorer pst file size

    I am running Outlook 2010 32bit Version 14.0.6129.5000 on a Windows PC running Windows 7 Professional.  All updates from MS are up to date.
    I have several pst files I open with Outlook 2010. The size of the files displayed in Outlook are very different than what is displayed in Windows Explorer. 
    For example one of the pst file called "business.pst" when opened Outlook displays it under "Data File Properties -> Folder Size" that the Total Size (including subfolders) is 764,354 KB.  Windows Explorer says
    the file size is 1,190,417 KB.
    For some reason MS Outlook 2010 is displaying the wrong folder size.  Any ideas why this is the case?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Outlook mailbox grows as you create and receive items. When you delete items, the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost) file might not decrease in proportion to the data that you deleted, untill it has been compacted.
    Normally, after you have deleted items from an Outlook Data File (.pst), the file will be automatically compacted in the background when you’re not using your computer and Outlook is running.
    For an exception, when the Outlook Data File (.pst) is somehow corrupt, the compaction might not finish correctly. So the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst) file might remain the same before compaction.
    To solve this, try run the
    scanpst to fix the Outlook Data File (.pst) file first, after that, we can
    manually start the compact command.
    When finished, compare the file size again.

  • Finder won't display folder size in "Size" column or Info window

    Normally, the Finder window will display a folder's size in the Size column. However, I have one folder which shows as "Zero KB" in the Size column. When I open the General Info window, the Size reads as "Zero KB on disk (Zero bytes) for 0 items."
    In order to get the folder size I have to go into the folder, select all folders (there's many), then with either the Summary Info or Inspector window, it'll show the folder size ("185.32 GB on disk").
    Why is this occurring in only this folder? Is it because it's a large folder or a folder with many subfolders?
    I'm running Snow Lep 10.6.2. The folder is on an external drive in FAT32 format. I've already tried deleting the "com.apple.finder.plist" file and rebooting.
    Thanks for any help.

    go to view menu->show view options and check the box 'calculate all sizes". then click "use as defaults".

  • Finder Folder Size Calculations

    When I'm archiving, I have to do a lot of Get Info to calculate the folder sizes for DVD burning. Problem I'm having is the file size calculations start taking forever after working for a few minutes, or they don't calculate at all. Usually works fine when I start but after a minute or so It's like the computer get's tired and just stops. Even if it's a 1mb folder it will have trouble.
    Is this normal? Seems really odd that something so incredibly simple can make my archiving process so difficult.
    Files reside on a network HD.
    Thanks for any help.

    I'd create a disk image of appropriate size, mount it, copy items to it until it tells you there's no more room. Then, burn it.

  • File / Folder size... How do Finder gets it?

    Hi there!
    While checking some of my hardrives for sucessfull shell script execution backups, i noticed that Finder took a loooot of time to provide the info about the Folder / File size on the Information window, while a simple ls -l could provide on the fly values regarding file or folder size, as always, fast simple and faithfull unix mindset!
    Well, that makes me wonder, how does Finder calculates those values? Anyone got an hint?
    Does it make it all by himself, if so. WHY? Been an "posix" system, shouldn't he be using whats already provided by its *nix heritage?
    In this case, the value is already there, why don't use it and simply parse it to the desired format (MB / GB / TB)?
    Maybe this could be only one of several features (GUI) that could improve it's performance from being more "conscious" of the system natively provided "toolkit".
    Please, this is only my humble thouhgts on this, and please do shut me up if totally wrong!
    Hope to get some nice and interesting feedback from the OS X community!
    If there's a better spot to start this kind of discussion, please do mention it, i will appreciate it!
    Best regards.

    Properties. Short Cuts, Change Icon resolved the issue after restarting. Problem resolved.. Thank you for all the help Dwain

  • Share Point folder size limit - File Services

    I created a new folder inside a share point using Server Admin. Is there a way to set a folder size limit (quota) for that folder.
    P.S. I am NOT talking about user accounts quotas for home folders created using Workgroup Manager! ...Just any new folder created, to be used on any volume, is there a way to set a mamimum size?
    For example I have a 1TB volume on my Xserve RAID. I create a new folder but want to set its maximum capacity to 200GB. Is that possible?
    Thank you very much in advance for any feedback.

    There's no direct way to set a limit on a folder size.
    The 'simplest' method I can think of is to create partitions on your disk of the appropriate sizes and share these - they will have inherent size limits based on the size of the partition. It's a little messier but should solve your issue.
    :: thinking :: you might be able to use disk images rather than partitions, although I've never tried sharing a mounted disk image, and you'd need to address automounting the disk images when the server starts, so it might not be viable.

  • Why does Time Machine folder sizes exceed physical capacity?

    I have a MAC G3 Server Serving multiple MACs as a Storage, Media Server, and Time Machine storage. These other external MACs are all running Version 10.8.3. Only the Storage server is running 10.5.8.
    All of the extenal Macs use Time Machine to backup to the served Storage media volume called "Time Machine".
    The physical size of the "Time Machine" volume is 2.0 TB.
    Yet when I am on the G3 Server, and perform a "Get Info" on the "Time Machine" volume, and also the folder that contains the Server's backups, the stored capacities exceed the physical capacity of the drive to which the volume resides.
    The single physical drive is 2.0 GB and only has one partition called "Time Machine". In the root directory of this volume there is the one folder called Backups.backupdb, and a .sparsebundle DMG file for each of the remote systems that are bing backed up by Time Machine.
    Each of the sparsebundles are well below the dirve's physical capacity, but both the local server's backup folder (Backups.backupdb) and the G3 server's local volume "Time Machine" show a used capcity that well exceeds the physical capacity of the drive on which it resides.
    For example, here is the information from "Get Info" on the Backups.backupdb folder on the "Time Machine" volume when viewed from all systems:
    Kind: Folder
    Size: 3,456,930,478,415 bytes (3.46 TB on disk) for 122,254 items
    But the Physical Volume "Get Info" shows this:
    Kind: Volume
    Capacity: 2.0 TB
    Available: 169.92 GB
    Used: 3,456,930,478,415 bytes (3.46 TB on disk) for 122,254 items
    (NOTE: this is identical to the size
    My guess is that there is some sort of deduplication involved.
    If so, I would like to know the type of deduplication is performed?
    Is it File Level deduplication, Block Level, or Content Level?
    Also, is the deduplication inhererant on the volume (File System) level, or only specifically for Time Machine, via symbolic links?
    Thank you in advance.
    Jeff Cameron

    This is due to the way Time Machine stores files. While there is only one copy of each version of each file stored, there are multple links to that file, and each link is reported in Get Info at its restored size.
