    how do you free space on the startup disk

    If your disk is 80% full that is normal.  Time Machine uses up to 80% of the disk space for local snapshots.  To get rid of these snapshots simply plug in your Time Machine backup drive and run a backup. 
    If you have less than 20% disk space then it is time to roll up your sleeves and search for what you can delete and what you can offload to another disk.
    If you have less than 10 GB you definitely need to delete or offload some files.  You may want to maintain at least 20 GB of free space so when your disk starts filling again it will have some room before it hits that 10 GB mark again.  More headroom is better.  If you let the space fall much below 9 GB you might not be able to boot your machine.
    Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
    - Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
    - Empty the trash.
    - Start iPhoto, empty its trash and restart the computer.
    Deleting files:
    Run a Time Machine (or other) backup since you are about to delete and move files and you may need to recover from any inadvertent mistakes or decisions.  You will need one external hard drive for your Time Machine (or other) backup and a second one onto which you will offload some files.
    Then use the free application OmniDiskSweeper http://www.omnigroup.com/more to explore your volume in descending order by size so you can attack the problem from the top down, deleting the largest unwanted files first.  Delete with caution and do not delete any system files.  Remember to empty the trash after trashing the files.
    Moving files:
    Consider moving some of the no-often-used large files or directories to an external disk.  Use ODS again to find them. 
    As noted above this will be at least your second hard drive.  Your first one(s) is/are for your Time Machine (or other) backup(s).  Do not offload files onto a Time Machine disk.
    Format the second drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled).  Using OWS to find large files/folders and copy them from the system drive to the external hard drive and delete them from your internal drive.
    Then  > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list.
    Now both your system disk and your external offload disk will be backed up onto your Time Machine disk.

  • How to ask size/free space on a local disk?

    hi,
    does anyone know how can you find out the size and amount of space used on a local disk?
    thanks,

    Not really an "over site", remember the Java motto - Write once, run anywhere. If they included Op Sys specific methods would that not defeat the purpose. Sun was kind enough to give us the runtime class, which is handy to inter act with the Opo Sys... - Bart

    how SMON coalesces free space in oracle 9i and 10g?
    Is it doing same as it was behaving in oracle 7 like looking through free extent table every five minutes (sys.fet$) to see if there are any adjacent free extents that can be coalesced into a single extent, and on every 25th cycle (i.e. every two hours and five minutes) it looks at the segment table (sys.seg$) to see if there are any temporary segments that need to be eliminated, as explained by jonathan lewis?
    what are extent and segment tables available in oracle 9i and 10g like sys.fet$ and sys.seg$ in oracle7?

    how to free space in start up disk in Snow leopard... please give step by step process someone help me ......

    What's taking up all your space?  To find out, click finder in your dock, the select your home user.  This will display your user folders.  Start by selecting your music folder by clicking it once, then the space bar on your key board.  This will open a window display this files size.    Take note of the size of the following folders:
         1. Music
         2. Movies
         3. Pictures
         4. Downloads
    This will help you determine where you space is going.
    Once you have determined that.... deside what you want to delete or move in order to save space.  Moving Library's to external drives is often the best way to free up space.

    Also go through your applications folder, and delete any unwanted applications.
    Ensure your downloads folder is empty or unwanted downloads deleated
    Ensure your iPhoto Trash is empty http://www.ehow.com/how_4501773_empty-trash-iphoto.html

    how do i make space on my startup disk?

    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/more
    Also, Find Any File
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

  • How to find free space in a Tablespace?

    Hi,
    I have a limited access to objects in my database ( do not have access to many tables).
    I have been allocated 300GB of size in my tablespace which allows me to create my objects.
    Now, I want to find out how much of this tablespace size allocated to me have been used up. I do not have access to dba_data_files or dba_segments.
    Is there a way out for me? Could anyone show me a way please?

    This query will give you the required information but it makes use of DBA tables.
    SELECT B.TABLESPACE_NAME, TBS_SIZE SIZEGB, A.FREE_SPACE FREEGB
    from  (select tablespace_name, round(sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 ,2) as free_space
           from dba_free_space
           GROUP BY TABLESPACE_NAME) A,
          (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 as tbs_size
           from dba_data_files
           group by tablespace_name) b
    where a.tablespace_name(+)=b.tablespace_name;
    However, you said that you are aware of your tablespace details so the above query can be modified to get the free space in your tablespace. Now I am using user_frees_space and not dba_free_space. Generally user* tables are and should be made accessible to the users.
    select  tablespace_name, round(sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 ,2) as free_space
    from    user_free_space
    where   tablespace_name = 'Your tablespace name'
    GROUP BY TABLESPACE_NAME;

  • How to find free space in an ArrayList...

    Hi,
    I have an ArrayList with data randomly assigned to different indexs of the ArrayList.
    I want to find out where the "gaps" are within the ArrayList... For Example There would be data in index 0,1,2,3,5 but not in index 4 . How would I go about finding this information.
    Thanks

    I am i right?No, it will not fill a gap.in fact it will, after a fashion.
    When you remove an item the remaining items are reshuffled to close the gaps.
    When you try to insert an item beyond the last position (so at list.size()+2 or greater) you will get an error, and the insert will fail.I was more thinking of a situation like this:
            strings.add("One");
            strings.add("Two");
            strings.add("Three");
            strings.set(1, null);
            System.out.println(strings);The element at index 1 will be null (a gap in my view), since remove won't cause a gap.
