PROBLEMS WITH HOW MUCH SPACE IS ACTUALLY BEING USED

Hello,
I've just recently purchased a Toshiba Dual Core laptop (225 gigs + 3 gig memory.) It works pretty well, but I've had to reload the windows and programs again. The reason is that after reloading I have about 203 gigs of space, but then I install flash CS3 (550 mgs and photoshop 200+) After I've installed all the doc files and everything I end up with about 200 gigs of space which is great. However, I've unistalled norton and installed AVG Professional. My space amount has gone down from 200 to about 193 gigs. I don't get it; it doesn't make sense because this is isn't how much space I've actually used. I've deleted temp files and all the install files of these other programs and what's even more crazy is that when I go ahead and run scan disk to deleted unecessary files, my space goes down in size and it shows that I have even less space! Has anyone else run into this problem? Let me know, perhaps there's a solution. 
Thanks,
Tseyigai

Maybe that part number is PSLE8U-02P01D?  If so, you have this model:  Satellite L355D-S7901
How much space would be reasonable for me to cut back on?
I've set the shadow storage on the computers around here to 10 GB. Suit yourself.
You can save quite a bit of hard drive space by turning hibernation off. Check the size of that file. It's c:\hiberfil.sys.
And look through the stuff Disk Cleanup cites for more savings.
But if you really can't get along without more space, you should add external drives or upgrade this one.

  • How much memory are actually being used? db_32k_cache_size

    Hi everyone,
    Using Oracle 10g on RHEL 5.3.
    I've been asked to check how much memory are actually being used by our db cache's. Currently we are using the parameters db_32k_cache_size (user-defined) and db_8k_cache_size (default) both allocated with 12gb. Now I want to know if there is any way to find out how much of the 12gb are actually being used by the cache.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Thanks Guys,
    Okay, so it is using the whole 12gb. I guess the next question would be, is 12gb really needed? You see, we are trying to increase memory where possible as this database has performance issues. Now we are thinking of taking some of the 12gb that is allocated to the 32k cache and assign it to the sga for instance.
    Does this make any sense?
    Regards

  • How do I find out how much space a user is using towards their disk quota?

    Weird problem on my OS X Server (Tiger) system: a user can't copy files into their share on the volume (SMB access from a WinPC) and is getting an "out of quota" error. She thinks she doesn't have that much stuff on the server, and I've set her quota to be huge. How do I find out, on the OS X Server system, how much space it thinks that username is using towards her quota?

    But, could this Quota/Share be over the 4GB SMB limit?
    what's the 4Gb SMB limit? A single file is over that large? We don't have that. Or it can't see any shares that have more than 4 Gb in them total? We definitely have that!

  • How much space does IOS 6 use vs IOS 5.1.1

    I upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS 6 yesterday.  Today, I was telling a friend about it and she said she doesn't have enough free space to install it on her 8GB iPhone 4.  This got me thinking that with all the upgrades, how much more space does IOS6 require vs IOS5.X.X.  Does anyone know?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Bit of a strange one, the file itself was 650-something MB, but when it came to install, it required me to have at least 2.5GB free space. When it was installed though, there was no change in the free space on my iphone. So, its a mystery.

  • ITunes won't show how much space is being taken up on my iPhone?

    Hi guys, whenever I plug in my iPhone, and click on it under "Devices", at the very bottom it shows a capacity bar, where it shows you how much space is being taken up by audio, video, pictures, etc. The problem is, I don't know exactly how much space is being taken up! In the past, I could mouseover the bar and it would tell me how much space exactly is being taken up by audio, video, pictures, etc. but now it doesn't. Any way to fix this?
    Also, after updating to iOS 7, I'm noticing a teal/blue-green bar in the capacity bar, but it's too small to be labeled so I don't know what it is, does anyone know what that bar represents? It's a bit annoying that iTunes took away the legend for the capacity bar, and doesn't label the smaller bars so that I don't know what they mean :\ Combine that with the fact that it also doesn't tell me how much space is being taken up by each category and it makes the whole system arbitrary.

    Anybody?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • When I buy a 16gb iPad air, how much space do I actually have after pre-installed apps? Can any of those be deleted?

    How much space do you get on a ipad air 16gb considering the pre-installed apps? Can any of those be removed to free up space?

    With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.
    For a 16 GB device that is 2.4 - 3.2 GB free. So 13 minus 3= 10 GB of storage for music, photos, movies and documents.
