Low disc space notification on drive "D"

I recently had an issue with my pc which caused me to contact a technician from what I thought was an HP related company to help me fix. It was called Spunknet and they sold me windows 7 with optimization,virus protect and 1 year of help.
I agreed and they set up backing up my data and getting me the win 7. The only thing is I can't seem to get rid of the low disk space notification in drive D. When I check it really is full with only about 412 mb left of 12.7 gb. What I remember is that the technician did something on my drive d which now reads back up dirve d. I though it used to say Factory drive d. Now, I am told by another technician that to solve this problem I need to buy another external hard drive. I never had a full drive d before last when when they converted me to win 7. Does anyone have any idea as to what happened? I am at a loss and already spent $147 last week for the upgrade and supposed 1 year help...
Thanks,
Yski

You probably only have one hard drive in your system and HP partitioned it so you can have access to utilities for checking your hard drive and memory and even do a factory fresh reinstall. What the company (Spunknet) did was use one of HP's partitions (a very small one at that) as a backup drive. The HP partition was never meant to be used as a back area. It does not have extra space to be saving your personal data. The end result is that your backups will not run because there is not enough space on that small partition that should not have been used for backup. They probably have noticed their error and are recommending the correct solution of getting a real backup device that the system can back up to (an external hard drive with enough room to accept the data). You do not have to back up your data but a backup is desirable to protect your important data from a hard drive failure.

I keep getting a (false) notification from HP Support Assistant: low disk space on C drive?

Hi, this morning upon starting up my computer the magnifying glass was hovering over the HP Support Assistant icon and usually that means it is checking for updates etc... but I noticed it turned into a yellow exclamation mark so I clicked on it and opened up HP Support Assistant. The exclamation mark was now in the "updates and tune-ups" and said there were "recommended messages available." Upon clicking this the exclamation is now on the HP messages tab and upon clicking that I am taken to a notification that says: "Low Disk Space on Primary Drive C:" So I click on it to find out more information and it says that I am running out of free disk space on my C drive and that I need to perform a disk cleanup etc...
I went to My Computer to see just how in jeopardy I was in of running out of space on my C drive. To my amazement it stated that I still had 1.27 TB of 1.35 TB available and have only used 6% of my space...
I tried emptying my recycle bin, clearing my cache, doing an actual disk cleanup, and restarting to no avail, the magnifying glass comes back after restart and the notification returns telling me that I am low on disk space in the C drive...
I have come to the conclusion that this must be a false notification but I have no idea how to get rid of it...it isn't a huge issue as it doesn't impair my usage on the computer, however, it is kind of annoying to keep seeing this notification...
Is there any way to get rid of this notification?

Hello @blackrosevain,

HT1766 iphone recovery wasn't successful due to low disc space. should i erase now?

upgraded iphone 4 to iOS7. Phone is now disabled as it was asking for a code and neither my granddaughter nor I knew what it was (I believe it should have been 1234). Have tried recovery but it wasn't successful due to low disc space. Im no techno-gran and am trying to work my way through this slowly. I don't really understand what will happen if I erase it. Will I be able to put everything back on?

Low disc space

Dear All,
We work on ECC6 and our database is SQL 2005.
Now my concern is that my user/SAP drive has very low free space.
Can anyone suggest which files can I delete to increase the disc space.
Also what will happen if the disc space is gets full.
Helpful suggestions will surely be rewarded with points.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Dear Santosh,
I had already copied the files EPS/In to a different location and deleted its contents.Ya folder EPS/In is still there but through that I got around 100-150 KB of free space.
Now can I do the same for sapname folder(free space 150 KB)and log folders that will give me around 1.3 GB of free space.
Please suggest can I do it similiarly for any other files.
Please suggest..
NOTE: EPS/IN files are created when we apply support packages(.PAT and ATT files),but what type of files \.\sapmnt\SID\DVEBMGSXX\workcontains..Also it will give EPS/IN gives me only 130KB of free space.

Low Disk space in both drives

All of sudden My Crive is showing Low disk space. Can any one help me int his issue.
And also in my E drive this is not even a single file But it is showing 7 GB less . What will be the problem.
Please help me ...
Sudheer

I'm running XP. Won't do Vista. No new fatware if I can help it. I just inherited a broken machine and gonna' put Linux on it.
FYI,
The Prefetch directory was a new one to me just recently. Selecting all and deleting was a definite improvement. ALSO, empty the trash. All those deleted files are still on the hard drive unless they are deleted.
Defrag is your best friend. Under accessories and system tools is this handy utlitity. I defrag once a month and just makes things run better. If you're into it, set the Virtual memory on your hard drive. Virtual memory is what Windows uses instead of hardware memory. It used to be called the swap file. I always had it set manually but then I let Windows decide how to manage this memory and it didn't work. I very soon ran out of memory. STUPID me. So I set the virtual memory to minimum 1024 and maximum 1024. It's fixed and my T23 is running really smooth.
And if you are running into these kind of issues but know you have hard drive space left, do all of the above. You and your machine will be very pleased.

Low Disk space in C drive

Hi All,
My MII server showing "Low Disk Space" error for every 10 to 15 days once. I think the log files been generated more.
My "C" drive has about 99.9GB space.
Let me know how to avoid it?

I would first look at which files are being generated that take up the space before changing any settings. However, there are a number of log files which can be generated automatically and which can grow rather large. Please identify the version and build of your MII (and NW if applicable) system.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi @cosmogirl813 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion Notebook and Error: Low Disk Space. Here is a document on help with the error.
Do not store your files on the Recovery drive. The only files on the Recovery drive should be related to a system recovery.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Low disk space message due to scratch disk full (c: drive)

My computer improperly shut down while I was editing large files. I had to alt-ctrl-del to shut down. Upon rebooting I received the message "low disk space" My windows drive now has only 75 MB of free disk space which is critically low. My c drive is a 300 GB drive and used for my programs only. I am guessing that with the improper shut down the temporary files were left. Is there a way I can manually clear the temporary files. When I ran disk clean up in Windows system tools it did not show a large number of files. I cleaned out the files that were there and still my c drive shows the 75 Mb free.
Thank you. Carolyn

Sure would be nice if Photoshop would clean up it's orphaned temporary files. As far as I recall it used to do so... Why was this changed?
At the moment, with CS5, if you have a Photoshop crash you WILL have a multi-gigabyte file left on your hard drive, and subsequent runs of Photoshop will not clean them up.
Found just now in my D:\ folder: Photoshop Temp144397513436 4.5 GB
Not a big deal if you have 2 TB free, but not everyone does.
Of course, if Photoshop didn't crash in the first place, this would be much less a problem.

Low Disk Space in the installation drive

Dear all,
One of our test server, is running out of space in the installation drive.
Do we have any standard jobs/Tcodes to reduce/shrink the disk space of installation drive.
Please share your inputs,

Younus

Hi,
Thanks Mark for directing the question to the right group.
Elaborating the issue: It is a test PI server and it has been installed in the D drive of the machine.
It was only one month ago the server was installed and now the system shows the error "Low disk space in D drive"
10-12 GB of free space was there earlier and even the server didn't have many messages going through it in this period.
Please help me with your inputs.
Thanks

Nagging "Low Disk Space" on Lenovo_Recovery Q:

Hi,
Just got my new T530. I loaded my application and data and everything works all right.
However, several times a day I get a "low disk space" popop on the Recovery directory. When displaying the details from the popup there is only a cleanup options, but being the recovery directory there is nothing to cleanup.
Any idea how I can stop the popup?
Thanks
Gerd

A couple of ideas:
1. You can stop Windows from "crying wolf" using this Registry hack: Disable Low Disk Space Notification Alert In Windows 7 / Vista. That's probably the easiest solution but it has the disadvantage that it disables the alert on all disks.
2. Another approach might be to extend the size of the Q: partition using Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management. This could take a lot of time because you'll have to first shrink the C: partition that follows it to make room.

Error backing up a catalog: "low on disc space"

I have problem backing up my catalog in Photoshop Elements 11. I have a new computer and want to move my Potoshop catalog to this one. But when trying to back up on the existing PC, it first says «Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup...». Then after a while I get the following error message: «Your system is low on disc space, and Elements Organizer cannot perform this operation. Try removing some files to free up disk space.»
In trying to back up to a directory on a USB-drive with 847 GB free space. Photoshop says that it will back up «Size: 143 041,10 MB» so there should be plenty of free space. I have no problem copying files to this drive so it is accessible.
Photoshop is installed on the C-drive (18,4 GB free), while my picture files are stored either on C:, on E: (46,6 GB free) or on I: (1,76 GB free).
Any suggestion for how to solve this?

Hi
I'm getting this same issue/ Also Elements 11. Backup was fine a month ago. Just wondering if you found a way to solve this.
I can do an incremental backup just fine but I want to do a full backup, Trying to get this to work to migrate to new laptop in a week or two's time.
I've tried all tips ago, incl re-indexing (which has helped organizer performance significantly)
My Catalog size to be backed up is 418GB (some of my catalog is on C: drive, but most of my videos in the catalog are stored on H: drive)
I have 865GB free on H: dirve, my target disk
I have 93GB of 451GB free on C: drive
System info below.
Many thanks for any advice

Dangerously low on disc space?

I've been importing DV footage into iMovie, and several times when I stop importing, I've gotten a warning message: "You are running dangerously low on disc space" and it says I should delete some files, or I might not be able to save my movie.
I don't understand it, because I have 56 GB of space available on my hard drive (it even says that in the bottom of the iMovie window). What's up with that?
I've ignored the warning and saved my projects just fine, but it keeps coming up. There was a time that I had my hard drive almost filled up, but I deleted a bunch of movie files to free up 60 GB.

Hi Iroth:
It's just me, but I always share all of my finished movies back to the DV tape that I originally imported them from. That way I have the original raw video plus the finished one on tape. Then I start a new tape the next time I make a movie.
Lots of tapes-priceless memories.
Maybe you should consider sending your iMovies back to tape, once you are done, and that way you will open up the extra space because you can delete the older ones.

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology?

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology? It doesn't look like I created any more space by doing this, AND I totally lost all my iTunes playlists. I'm not sure if because I added old library materials manually if this messed up my playlists, or if the new location is just not reading my moved library. In any case, I followed step by step instructions and found a few holes and thought I'd just "figure it out" but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought since I'm still scratching my head many hours later.
Thanks for any support ;-)

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
