"Low on space" 10gb free

My A1 tablet has a low on space notice I'm getting quite often now as apps want to update... and well since then I can no longer update apps either.
When I go to Settings>Storage
Internal SD Card
Total Space: 12.24 GB
and
Available Space: 10.8GB
Internal Space is 177MB
If Settings>Manage Applications>Any App
tap button Move to SD card it says filed to move, not enough storage.
So obviously there is a disconnect between it wanting to use extenernal SD slot vs internal.
What do I do, this is annoying.

I dont understand the difference between the app and doing it yourself... Either way, I get the same error I said before.
You need to uninstall some apps before you can use app2sd.
The A1 is like a PC, internal memory is like your hard drive, sd card is like a USB thumb drive. If your "hard drive" is full the system may have errors as the system tries to write to it and finds it is full.
1.Go to settings
2.Applications
3.Manage applications
4.Sort by size
5.Uninstall one of the largest applications
6.Now try to move the other apps to your SD card
7.Reinstall that large application you previously uninstalled
8.Profit!

Need help with Low disk space issue and blue screen

Hi Everyone, just seen a message stating a low disk space on my Mac pro bought last November and tried plugging in an external hard drive to remove some pictures to free up some space but it seems that the computer did not have enough space left to start up and run the hard drive. I then tried to restart and ended up with a blue screen and have no knowledge now how to fix this problem. I phoned support but they say I have no technical support left but do have warranty and I would need to either try with the community here or take the unit to an apple store for an appointment. The store is an 1 and 1/2 from me and I really want o see if there is another fix that could allow me to start again then remove some files and then add external drive to remove more. I was blown away at the low amount of storage.....looked for the icloud option last night to upload there as i was told about this by a UK client of mine and now see it is not up and running. Any advice or help by the communtiy would be greatly appreciated as this is my business and travelling laptop. Cheers, Dean <")))><

Great to hear Dean, thanks!
Further notes: OSX needs about 15% or 10GB Free space minimum, but will run mucch faster/safer with 30-40% or 50GB of Free Space... Free Space is no longer ours to use.
Another tool to help clear up assorted things is Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Low Disk Space Issue

One of our ZCM servers has a low disk space and looks like most of it is being taken up by folders with package.cab files. The folder location is: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ScanFile This folder is taking about 10GB and I'm not exactly sure what these .cab files are for. Any help would be appreciated. The server information is Windows Server 2003 SP2 Running ZCM 10.3.3.44626

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.
Best of Luck!

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 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,

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.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

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.

HP Support Assistant indicates low disk space on primary station C:

Hi,
My system is a HP Pavilion 500-130ed with Windows 8.1, 64 bits. I'm running version 7.4.45.4 of the HP Support Assistant, currently the most recent version according to same.
I get the message 'low disk space on primary station C:' (my translation, in Dutch it literally says 'Weinig schijfruimte op primair station C:').
Now I know Windows is resource hungry, but I've 250 GB available on C:! What's happening and how can I make it disappear?
Cheers,

Hi Dean,
You may be able to access it via FireWire Target Disk Mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
If so, move and delete enough so you have at least 15% free space on the MBP's HD. After that, run Repair Disk:
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on theUtilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Incorrect Low Disk Space Warning from HP Support Assistant

I have an HP Envy m7 notebook. I am getting a warning from the HP Support Assistant that the Primary Drive C: has low disk space. However, my Windows 8.1 Properties box for the C: drive says more that 90% of the drive is free, as I guessed. Why am I getting this seemingly incorrect warning?

Hi sheryltoo,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand the HP support assistant is giving you a low disk space error, but you have plenty of free space available.
Did the error pertain to a different drive letter other then you main drive?
I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the The HP Support Assistant. If you have an older versions installed that may be why you are getting a false error.
Please let me know the outcome.

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.
View Solution.

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.

Hi,
The below code should work to get all servers that have alert of logical disk free space is low in specific period:
get-alert -criteria 'Name = ''Logical Disk Free Space is low'' AND TimeRaised >=''3/24/2014'' AND TimeRaised <= ''4/24/2014''' | select MonitoringObjectDisplayName,MonitoringObjectPath,Name,TimeRaised | sort MonitoringObjectDisplayName

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.
