yes i figured it out! after about an hour of looking... your computer has been automatically backing itself up every month, just go in and delete a few back ups!! Go computer, hp tools drive E, and click on the name of your computer in their, then click manage space used by this backup, and click view back ups and delete the ones you dont want!!! by the way they are dated thankfully. but its that simple, hope this helped.

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,
Regards,
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

That normally occurs because someone has turned on system protection for the partition. I can't see your image just yet.
Check to make sure that has not happened.
The following image is how the system protection window should look
The following image is what you should see in your recovery partition if you have file options to show protected files. Anyhting else should not be there.

Low disk space left on Q drive on T430s

I have seen a few posts where a few others have had this problem but so far I'm having no luck figuring out how to fix it. I bought this laptop for my wife and set it up yesterday with no messages. Turned it on today and it now says I have only 1.67GB left of 13.6GB.
How can I fix this problem... any help would be great.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dan,
I'm not sure why my Q drive is running low on disk space, but have read that once a back up had been done that this drive can be deleted. I did the back up thing but part of me wants to save the recovery on Q in case I lost the back up disks or that maybe there might not have copied correctly. I just don't understand as to why the disk space seems to be shrinking. Such a pain when no one seems to have any idea as to how to fix it.

Low Disk Space for my backup drive. .

The Disk Clean up options only brings up the recycle bin to empty out. Which most of the time is already empty.

A reset will sometimes fix such issues. Tap an hold the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10 - 15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. No content or settings will be affected.

How do i get rid of low disk space message popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc

How do i get rid of low disk space message ( you are running out of disk space on Hp_Tools (E popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc. It is very annoying. I am i school and I have noticed it since downloading different assignments from my college black boards.

Thanks Banhien for your quick response. However my system shows no backup schedule to disable. I do have a 'Manage Space" link and a Turn on schedule link and change settings link along with Restore options with 3 options-' restore all user files- select another backup to restore files from and recover system settings on your computer. If I click on 'Manage Space link', it gives me the option to 'Select how disk space is used by Windows back up'- then there are two options: 'data file backup'-which indicates i can free up space by deleting file backups, and the other option is 'system image' which is greyed out. Upon clicking on the option (view backups) under 'data file backup option'- it shows the current data file backups on my hp_tools (e the date of the file is displayed and the amount of usage- it gives me the option to delete- should I click the delete button?

Hi,
Please try:
Click Start, type "Backup and Restore," and press Enter. This brings up Windows Backup which is a little different than system protection.
In the middle of the Window you should see that the backup is on a schedule. Disable this.
Save your changes.
Delete the backup folder on the E:
Reboot notebook and verify that this resolves the issue.

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.

HP530 OS_ (E:) tools reporting as low disk space

Hi,
Following some tinkering by me following some Microsoft support suggestions, I think I have managed to solve my issues with windows updates...It did involve an emergency restart and a system restore from an external hard drive, and I think all is running OK now...the trouble is, I now can't seem to make a new back up on the external hard drive as it comes up with an error code and the OS_(E tools reporting low disk space. The HP_(D recovery is also looking quite full (although not red yet like the (E tools. The OS is Windows Vista Home basic 32- bit.
Thanks

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.

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?

Low disk space (Boot Camp) - can I repartition my hard drive?

Hi there -
I am a MacBook user through and through. However, I partitioned my hard drive 3 years ago using Boot Camp to do some light Windows-only work. I only partitioned 8 GB to Windows, which wasn't a problem til now. I'm now trying to use some Windows-only software again, but am faced with a "low disk space" message. I cleaned up as much as I could with 8 GB, but it's still not enough. Can I re-partition the hard drive to more like 20 GB without losing any of the data and/or installed software (I don't have access to the install disks...)? I tried to install WinClone but I have OSX 10.5.8, and it said it only runs on 10.6 or 10.7. Can anyone offer advice on an option to re-partition with Boot Camp, without losing the installed software and files/data?
I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (I know, it's old!!!)
Thanks

Warning about low disk space on drive E

Hi,
I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion Elite HPE. My main drive i s C and there is also D (Factory image) and then the HP(E: ) one which is giving the warning about low disk space. When I look at what there is in drive E there is a folder called "my name"-PC with a lot of "Backup Set" folders/files in it, and then there is a folder called WindowsImageBackup and subfolder "my name"-PC.
I know I have to clean out these folders but I ma very insecure as to what I can delete.
I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advice in this matter!
This question was solved.

File History in Windows 7 is an extensive image backup of your drive which will steadily increase over time and needs to be cleared and suggest that you turn the feature off. It is not very efficient.
If you wish to delete this Windows Image Backup file, you should disable the automatic backup feature of Windows.
Click on Start button > Control Panel > System and Maintenance> Backup and Restore.
In the left pane, click on "Turn Off Schedule".
From there you can delete the backup files on your E drive.
I also suggest as an alternative, use Macrium Reflect Free every so often as it is more efficient and reliable. It will make a complete image back up of your entire hard drive to an external hard drive. Don't forget to create a rescue disk.
Go to this site and do a Custom Install:

I personally use the Professional Edition which gives me more flexibility and features.

Low Disk Space Recovery Drive D

My computer is an hp G60 121WM, which is Vista Home Premium running windows Vista 32 bit OS. I messed up while in 'backup and restore' and sent the backup to the partitioned drive (D) used for system recovery. Is there any way to access this drive or remove the mess I sent there? It won't let me in by the simple route of trying to open it from the 'computer' dialog. I can't use backup and restore now, and every time I boot up the computer I get the message that I have low disk space in drive D. It's not a real problem (so far), but is very irritating. And if I ever do need to do a restore (back to a previous automated backup) I'll be unable to do that. I'll appreciate any help from more seasoned users. Thanks
ps. I don't quite understand why hp recovery drive being full impacts windows backup and restore, so the problem with that may be coincidental. You tell me. As you can see, I'm not well versed in computer use!

A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
This is a zipped file. If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
When installed, launch Free Commander, click the D partition in the toolbar and look for any files that obviously don't belong here, cut them out and paste to a location of your choice on the C Partition.
After doing this, make sure that Windows Backup and Restore is directed to a new location.

Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.

Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
Attempted solutions:
-I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
-I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
Google Drive Warning:
Spotify Warning:
But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
