Low Disk Space on Lenovo_Recovery (Q:) Partition

Hello all. I have had a Thinkpad T410 for around a month now and I am loving it.
Recently I have been getting a warning saying:
Low Disk Space
You are running out of disk space on Lenovo_Recovery {Q:}.
Click here to see if you can free space on this drive.
So, I click there to try and free space - there is nothing to delete to free space.
If I go to Computer, it tells me that there is 7.37 MB free of 9.76 GB on the {Q:} partition. Upon double-clicking the {Q:} partition, only two things exist.
TAYLOR-THINK (File Folder)
MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
Fair enough. I open up the TAYLOR-THINK file folder and see two more things.
Backup Set 2010-06-21 015705 (File Folder)
MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
The Backup Set file folder contains 2.25 GB, which includes Backup Files from two different days.
9.76 - 2.25 = 7.51 GB
Something in the {Q:} recovery partition is using 7.51 GB of space but I don't know what?
Help please!

Please do and check the following;
open R&R and select the option at the very bottom of the left column in the window, it should say something to the effect of "select advanced view" or something to that effect, sorry but I don't have a system a hand to look at. (Somrtimes the option is almmost half hidden - should be light blue text).
It should then open a window offering more options than on the original screen. One of those options should be to set schedules and options for backups. Check here what the maximum number of backups is set to; if it's set to 3 change that entry to 4, apply and then click ok.
After doing this please try running another backup and let us know what happens.

  • Low disk space on hp recovery partition. Help!

    Hello
    I have pasted some media files(.mp3, .avi)on hp recovery D partition in order to move them back to their original C partition after formatting the system. And now when I open partition D with hp recovery those media files do not longer exist. This partition now is almost full so the added are there but i dont have access to them. They have got integrated with hp recovery and there is system denial when i want to open hp recovery.
    So help me, how to get an access to those media files?

    To open this folder you have to write:
    "cd+space+folders name"
    "cd dot"
    "cd 2 dots"

  • Finder fails to open when starting up macbook pro due to low disk space (possibly)

    Dear forum,
    I have a Macbook Pro (13") running snow leopard and have a partitioned hard drive (half OS X and half Windows 7). This morning I was using the Mac side and was running low on disk space (very low) so I was moving desktop files into folders to free up some space. I restarted the computer to see what the free space was but the computer stopped/froze at the desktop image (no folders or dock appeared. I restarted the computer many times but the finder never opens and all I see is the desktop wallpaper. I donnected usb drives and put in dvds but the finder never appears so I cn do nothing but shut down and start up.
    I ran Disk Utility but it found no problems with the disk. I do not have a backup of the important file forlders on my drive and due to low disk space I am worried to reinstall and archive the OS since there may not be enough disk space to archive (only about 220 mb free on the apple side when I am in windows using bootcamp).
    Does anyone know what happeded to my machine? Is there such low disk space that finder had an issue? I have started on such low memory before.
    What does Archive actually do when reinstalling OS X? Does it make a copy of the HD files and folders or does it simply reinstall the operating system piece by piece while protecting the files and folders that I wish to save?
    Thanks for all your help and sorry for the length of the writing (I wanted you to understand all before replying).

    Solved
    By chance I got itunes to pop up (running hands over keys blindly) and with it the apple menu icon so I had access to my recently used items and so I could delete images from iphoto and thus bring the free disk space up above zero and then the dock/folders and finder came back....I have just backed up my important files......feeling better now
    Any advice on how to more quickly handle this type of issue next time?
    Thanks.

  • 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

  • Qosmio X500 Folder migration utility and low disk space drice C

    This may be a longish post as I try to explain my problem... please forgive.
    I've had my X500 for just over three months now.
    It took a little while before the folder migration utility woke up I didn't know it was there after I'd done a limited copy of folders across from my old Qosmio F20. After it had woken up and I'd been able to transfer folders/files across it cleared a lot of room from the 'tiny' - I feel, 60 Gb SSD C drive.
    I keep getting a message coming up sometimes, when I boot up, that the folder migration utility has a setting for me. If I open the utility it shows no folders in the 'C' drive area and folders already transfered [from first using it] in the right hand side for the 'D' drive. Text in the bottom of the utility says something like "if you have done some manual transfers then it can't do anything"... something along those lines - sorry for not being clear on that.
    I've recently installed some other programs and have endeavoured each time to do a custom install to the D drive to program files [x86] folder. However, drive C is now showing low disk space at 5.58 of 59.2 Gb.
    Checking the folders copies??? I thought for the programs I installed I find lots of folders/files in those program folders so taking up a lot of space.
    What is the best way to free up space on drive 'C' please?
    Should I manually copy the data contained in the folders [not just a 'name' ... ie; AVID... folder but possibly also in the drive C Program files [x86] folder] to the same named folders on drive D?
    If I did, would the programs work properly or would there be problems in the program being located?
    When the utility first activated [by itself] I thought "Great... transfer of all my old data to the X500 will be easy" but it doesn't seem to be the case. I was expecting that any new programs installed would be automatically copied to drive D. I'm getting somewhat paranoid about the low disk space on drive C.
    Help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for coming forward PauPau.
    Firstly, when I got the x500 I had lots of documents etc., I wanted to transfer over so I used the Win7 Transfer program to make the back up/transfer images. In doing the transfer across [after the copies of] the X500 gave an error warning that the C: drive had insufficient space to do the full copies. At this time/stage I was not aware that the X500 had a folder migration utility. What ever made it 'wake up' and make itself known I have no idea but I used it when it did. My first problem was probably in using the Win7 file transfer - for getting files/folders across from the old computer to the x500!
    I ended up doing a factory reset about three times before this utility made it self known. I found NOTHING in ant documentation about the X500 about this utility and how to make use of it when I bought the laptop. Not sure if you are aware of the make up of the X500 having 2 hard drives; a 'C:' drive of 65Gb SSD and a SATA 'D:' drive of 650GB. If you do then my apologies if that comes over in any 'bad' way. The D: drive is NOT a partition of 1 installed hard drive as your reply would seem to suggest you are thinking.
    The migration folder utility, when used first time, copied/transfered folders across - even program folders such as Program files [x86] - and left 'similar' named folders on the C: drive. At that time I then thought that any future installs of programs would be put in the D: drive. Only when watching the first time for a new program install did I see it going to the C: Program and Program files [x86] folders instead of those in the D: drive. I then had to uninstall and do a custom install to direct to the D: drive. However... some data appears that it can NOT be directed from the install disk to the D: drive and still goes to the C: drive - HENCE the issue I am having with the small amount of remaining free space on the C: drive.
    I accept what you say in reply to my question about the best way to free up space but, based on as explained above, should I have to do a re-install of any program I try to run after being moved to the same named corresponding folder on the separate D: drive [if that is what I have to do] I think the install disk will still do an automatic install of these to the C: drive as at that stage there seems no way of stopping it. Although given the option in a custom install to change the 'drive' to install to such as the D: some data is still going to C: and I'll be in the same predicament that I am now.
    If that's the case then maybe this is something that TOSHIBA should be looking in to solving if they are going to produce laptops with two hard drives - - - even if one [the C: drive] is of the SSD make to speed thing up.
    I DO appreciate your input. MAybe I didn't explain properly first time... and maybe I haven't this time - in which case I apologies.
    Are there no other X500 users with the same issue?
    Thanks. I may just have to give it a go and transfer these data files/folders manually to the D: and see what happens if no one here can guide as to stop any hair pulling frustrations if it goes wrong.

  • 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.

  • Low Disk Space - Mini 110

    Recently the free space on my HD has suddenly disappeared but I haven't installed any new programs.  I have the 16GB solid state drive and originally had about 5GB of programs installed.  A couple of weeks ago I started getting low disk warnings but couldn't figure out why but deleted a few little used programs to free up space.  Went from 75mb free to 850mb then the next day I get the low disk warnings again, showing 160mb free. I lot almost 700mb overnight.
    Tried the Chat option and instead of fixing the problem had me change the Registry but instead of fixing anything only stopped the warning message.  Guess the logic is if you don't see a problem it isn't there.  Then he wanted me to delete Windows components.  I drew the line there, would free a few mb w/o fixing the problem,  After this suggestion I realized my Indian chap didn't have a clue.
    My firtst thought was a virus but I've done 3 full scans w/o finding anything.   Any ideas whats causing my hd free to disappear and possible solutions?

  • Low Disk Space...Yikes!

    Hi. I've had my iBook G4 for about a year or two now. I store everything from my thousands of songs on itunes to my thousands of pictures on my iphoto. Lately, I've been having trouble with my computer running slow because of my low disk space. It's very frustrating when you feel like you need to delete all your documents just to free up space. Is there any possible way of adding more disk space and keeping all of my songs/pictures/everything?
    please and thankyou!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It's dangerous to allow your disk to get too full--you risk a crash and the loss of everything. The real cure may be to install a bigger hard drive, and you can get one up to 320 GB in size.
    In the meantime, do you have a backup? You really need one.
    Have you emptied the trash? If no, do so. The trash occupies disk space until emptied.
    Very likely the music files and picture files are what is taking up most of the space. Documents take up very little space. So your best bet is to move your iTunes Library and your iPhoto Library onto an external drive.
    Not knowing how much free space you actually have, I hesitate to recommend that you download anything until you have freed up some space. Could you post back with how large your hard drive is, how much free space you have, and what OS you are using?
    I would recommend that you purchase a large capacity firewire external drive, and move your iTunes Library and iPhoto Library onto it. Once they are safely on the external, you can delete them from your internal and free up considerable space.
    A better long term strategy might be to get a larger capacity internal drive so that you can keep everything on it if that is what you would prefer. If you do that, you can use the large external for backup.
    If you have enough internal space left to download a cloning utility like Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner, you could do a bootable backup of your entire hard drive onto the external:
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    You can download either one and run it as much as you want to for free. If you want to unlock Super Duper's more useful features, you can register your copy for $28. CCC is donation ware.
    Again, if your drive is dangerously full, don't download anything until you have freed up some space.
    One strategy might be to get the external drive and use Disk Utility to partition it. One partition could be 320 GB for the bootable clone, should you decide to do one. The other should be at least the size of your internal drive, but it wouldn't hurt for it to be bigger. The second partition would be for storing data files, and you could copy your iTunes Library and your iPhoto copy onto this partition. Once you are sure they are there and intact, you could delete them from your internal drive.
    Also, how old is your iBook, and does it still have its original hard drive? If so, the drive itself may be getting to the end of its useful life of 3-5 years, and it will be even more important to get your data onto another drive.
    Good luck!

    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.

  • Nagging "Low Disk Space" on Lenovo_Rec​overy 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

    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.

  • Low disk space in recovery disk (d) drive in window 8.1

    I continue to receive the subject warning. I have never added any files to D, but I have 32.3 MB free of 25.5 GB. I have Administrator privilrges but am unable to view the files on D. When I click on recovery, I get an HP warning.

    Hi @pjd10 
    I grasp that you are a low disk space error on recovery D.  I regret that you are having that difficulty.
    Here is a link to HP PCs - Error: Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on Recovery (Windows 8) that should guide you to resolving this issue.

  • Does low disk space make my Macbook Pro act weird?

    Hi! I have an early 2011 15" MBP with a 750gb hard disk space. Just the other day, while I was using photoshop with my laptop, the screen went off so I had to reset it. My laptop acted weird after: doing a screen split (the right part goes to the left and vice versa), one time it had weird pixels that were scattered all over, recently, a blue striped screen. All of this froze my laptop by the way. And all of this happened after a few minutes of usage. And I noticed if I use photoshop, it would only take a little amount of time before it would act weird again compared to when I don't. All the times caused me to reset my laptop by holding the power button.
    Yesterday, it wouldn't boot past the gray screen after resetting about five times. But after it turned off by itself, I tried turning it on again and it booted normally. And I could use it normally again, but with extra care (using it beside an electric fan, checking the temperature with iStat pro).
    I tried the extended Apple Hardware Test but it told me no trouble was found.
    Another thing was, everytime my laptop froze and did the weird screen thingy, my laptop was hot.
    I tried to use it again yesterday to just surf the web, and after some minutes it was still functioning. But I remember one time I was only surfing the web, it did the split screen and froze after almost an hour or so.
    Also, my laptop heats up quickly compared before. And can stand being hot for a long time until now.
    I haven't used any heavy applications besides photoshop to test my laptop's weird behavior by the way.
    So I guess it's because of the laptop's heat. Because I can only use it for a very short time when using photoshop but I can use my laptop for a longer time when only surfing the web.
    I also noticed that if I was forced to reset my laptop and turn it on again, it would boot longer than normal. But if I was able to shut it down properly and turn it on again, it would boot normally.
    And, just a while ago, I remembered my laptop's disk space was only 14gb from 750gb (downloaded a lot of series since I bought my laptop). So maybe what's causing the heat was the low disk space. Just a guess.  So is it possible that my laptop is behaving weird because of the low disk space?

    The problem is back. But this time, it only happened when I used photoshop or played a 1080p video. I was using my laptop for almost 3 hours when i decided to use photoshop. It froze as soon as it started and made my screen display weird pixels. I restarted and tried to open photoshop again and this time, it froze. I did it the third time and after using PS for a minute, it did the split screen. After restarting yet again, I tried to play a 1080p video to just test my laptop. It froze as soon as VLC started. But when i only surf the web (which is the only thing I did before using PS), everything goes well. So I guess it really is the GPU and not the logic board or some other parts. I've decided to just have my laptop checked.

  • 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.

  • 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,
    I understand that you are getting the 'Low Disc Space' error message on your HP Pavilion Elite h8-1010t Desktop PC running Windows 7. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Error: Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on Recovery (Windows 7), which addresses the error you are getting and has the steps needed to fix it.
