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.

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.

Problem With Low Disk Space - Message - Email and ...

Hi all,
I have a N97 and i noticed that when i have around 200 stored messages in my sent and my received in box then i get the e-mail disconnecting and saying to me that it's been disconnected due to low disk space.
So i tried changing the location of the folders for the e-mails and then i got a warning about the folders not being correct and had to restore them to the original settings.
I'm sure this is also related but some one tried to send me a small video via blue tooth and it told me that the memory was full but for the life of me i can't seem to change where a blue tooth message would go too.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
i know i may have 2 separate issues here but it's all the same low disk space or out of disk space etc etc
it would seem that it's a problem so how can i go about fixng it, it's poor...
The first offering is Nokia's new 'Messaging' client. If you really, really have been looking forward to this then by all means install it, but beware that it will, between application and messagebase, use up a lot of disk C: on its own. And you can't switch the messagebase to 'mass memory', because that gets locked out when you connect your N97 up to your PC or Mac, switching Nokia Messaging back to C:. As a long time Gmail user, I still find it easier to use either the 'old' S60 Messaging application (in IMAP4 mode) or just use the standalone Gmail (Java-based) application, which has the benefit of speed and of an utterly minimal footprint in daily use.
Also offered via 'Sw update' is Ovi Maps 3.1, which also insists on ensconcing itself on C:. If version 2.0 is working well for you then there really isn't a compelling reason to update, to be honest. Or at least not one that's compelling enough to warrant signing over at least 7MB of C: to it. If version 2 isn't working for you, you still shouldn't install v3.1, as offered, but go for the very latest v3.3, from the Nokia Beta Labs Maps page. It's faster and slicker and at least you'll be getting extra functionality for your lost Megabytes, including less troublesome GPS performance. See below for more on the GPS.
Next is Ovi Contacts, a beta-quality social integration system that's yet to take off in any meaningful way. Again, just avoided unless you really, really want to get involved. You don't need to lose the vital Megabytes.
Then there's the N-Gage games client, another C: biggie, seemingly swallowing up 6MB or so in a real world installation - if, like me, you're rather underwhelmed by N-Gage titles (in fact, underwhelmed by gaming on Symbian in general, but that's another rant for another day), then just say no and, again, give your internal disk a break.
The final optional 'Sw update' was Quickoffice 6, bringing compatibility with Office 2007 documents. This also takes up the best part of 10MB on C:, so unless you get a lot of Docx or Xlsx files by email then I'd strongly suggest holding fire on this update - you'll probably get it anyway in the v20 firmware in a few months time.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, don't know wether you've done this, but go into messaging/options/settings/other/memory in use/set as E:mass memory. If this causes a problem with email, simply delete mailbox and re-install it, it only takes a couple of minutes. One other thing , if you want to save any txt messages, sync with ovi first.Also to get C memory back delete all messages sent , recieved, reports etc before selecting Memory in use as E. Also go to web browser and clear privacy data regularly. One other thing to note is that usually when connected to computer via usb, messaging memory will revert to C, and you won't be able to see any messages , so reset to E again and they are all there. Best taskmanager from Ovi store is also a real help with memory on phone.
Hope this helps, and my appologies for the somewhat eratic layout nof the advice. Should have mentioned clearing messages from C before using E !
Good 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.

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.

Could Very Low Disk Space Cause problems?

Hi, my 600 GB Hard Drive only had around 5 GB of space left . I purchased a new 1 TB Hard Drive in order to delete media so that I could gain the space back. I've since gained back 200 GB of Space but Could very low disk space cause issues? What kind of issues could occur? Thanks

There are any number of reasons for occasional beachballs to appear. They will appear when some programs are involved in heavy disk I/O which tends to be processor dependent and causes the program to suspend all other activity until the disk activity has completed. This is more often the case when writing to the disk. Beachballs may also appear if the OS has to use disk I/O and is slowed down by an over-filled and/or fragmented hard drive. The fuller a drive gets the greater the likelihood that fragmentation will become a more noticeable problem. Beachballs can appear if you are low on physical memory so applications must resort to disk-based virtual memory which is considerably slower and tends to cause the computer to become slow or unresponsive for a period of time. It can also cause disk-thrashing. Beachballs can occur if the disk has become corrupted causing applications to have difficulty reading from or writing to the disk.
It is possible to repair a drive's directory, and it's even possible to identify corrupted files, but it's not possible to repair corrupted files nor repair a corrupted drive. If a drive develops corrupted files either the files will need to be replaced or deleted. If a drive develops soft sector errors these can be repaired by erasing the drive (reformatting.) If a drive develops hard sector errors these may or may not be repairable, but if they are repairable it requires zeroing the data during a disk formatting operation. If the disk directory becomes corrupted that can be repaired using Disk Utility or one of the various third-party utilities such as Disk Warrior. Disk Utility can repair many but not all directory corruption problems. What DU cannot fix Disk Warrior usually can.
You can start repairing a drive as follows;
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
This applies to your startup volume. No need to repair permissions on any but a startup volume.

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.

My C drive is 19.5 GB. xp sp3 took 5.05 GB.Firefox also installed here . There's no room for new downloaded files.So I changed the save to option in another drive. Still when downloading large files 'low disk space' message shown.

suppose I want to download a 4 or 5 GB file,in C:/ there is usually 2 or 3 GB left.So I changed the directory of saved files to E:/.Still low space problem occurs and the newly downloaded file is not saved.A low disk space message is shown.Why is this showing?How to resolve this?

in options under the "general" tab change the download folder,if that does not help change the option to "ask every time".I recommended to use DAP to download your files its great and accelerates your speed quite a lot.

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 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.

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...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!

Low Disk Space in WSUS

Hello,
The size of content folder in my WSUS upstream Server is 170GB, i am installing updates in one language only and 46 products. its showing low disk space now. i used server cleaning wizard but it cleared only 2GB. I thing somthing is going wrong there. Help
me to come out from this problem.

Thanks for your reply and the link. After my disk became filled to capacity by WSUS updates, I couldn't use WSUS's "Server Cleanup Wizard". Then I found this thread and began to decline the superceded and 100% installed updates. I
got thru maybe 200 updates. Now I can't even decline any more updates without getting a screen that pops up saying Error: Database Error, asking to reset the node. This is the same screen that I got when I tried to use the Server Cleanup Wizard.
Any advice?
Here are the clipboard error contents:

Low disk space detected

Hi Experts,
We have a problem of Low disk space in our Deski Report Server.
The Error Description is,
Name: Low disk space detected on volume D:
Description: Disk volume 'D:' is low or out of free space.
when i tried logging into the server, i can see there are some child folders that have been created and that is consuming much space.
Could any one please suggest how it should be analyzed and rectified.
Its an Emergency, please help.
Regards,
Syed

Hi
go into the CMC under Servers, select the Desktop Intelligence Processing server and in its properties modify the temp path to another location ( you have to create the new folder manually). Restart the Deski server.
Still I believe that you will get a problem if you do not free some place on your D drive ( I assume this is the installation drive) because this is the drive where the BOBJ stores both temporary and permanent files. Another option is to move the file repository on another location.
(Assuming you are running BOBJ 3.x)
1) Stop your SIA using the CCM
2) Copy the file repository (Found under <BOBJ installation directory>\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Filestore) to another location
3) Start the SIA again
4) Go to the CMC and under Folders change the directories for your Input and Output File Repository Servers. Restart the servers.
