You need to clarify what storage space you are asking about.

Storage space full of residual data
The storage space on my iphone 4s is suddenly completely filled with residual data.
There 's no data space left. How can I delete these data?Restore your iPhone by plugging it in to iTunes, letting it sync, then choosing "Restore" from thei iPhone's summary page.
"Other" can fill up with deleted emails (especially large attachments), corrupt data especially from suspicious apps. If the restore from backup doesn't work, try restoring as new and be very careful about keeping suspecious apps. -
Storage space full of "other", computer won't recognize iPod is plugged in
I just downloaded about 100 songs onto my 160 gigabyte iPod Video Classic, making my number of songs only about 1,300. My iPod says its storage now only has 1.9 mb left. I only have about 10 videos and no photos, but the "other" section of the storage content bar takes up a ton of space. It had none before. How do I remove the "other" from my iPod? Now my computer won't recognize any iPod when I plug it in, and I've tried multiple plugs.
Connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port, on the Computer itself and not a USB hub or those found on the Apple keyboard.
If iTunes launch, close it back.
If your iPod is found on your Desktop, then run DiskUtility, (if not then Reset the iPod while connected to the Mac)
Select you iPod
Click FirstAid Tab on the right window.
Press the Repair button.
After Repair finish, iTunes may launch and ask to Restore, this will delete all the data in your iPod.
if iTunes did not launch, just Reset iPod again while connected to your Mac.
Always don't use USB hub or the Keyboard USB port or else your problem will come back, as the power is insufficient from these shared ports for iPod harddisk write process.
Good Luck! -

TS3988 How do I delete photos in iCloud to free up space. My storage is full.
My iCloud storage is full and I want to delete photos to free up space. But can't work out how to do this.

Question
Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?Hi terrybohle1938,
Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
Hopefully this helps! -
I have an iphone 3GS and suddenly am getting a "storage almost full message" even though I have 1.4 GB of free space. Now I cannot text. How do I trouble shoot this? I recently upgraded to version 6.1.3 if that helps.
When you sync using iTunes on your computer, do you see a lot of "Other" at the bottom of the iTunes Summary Page for your iPhone? If you do, try a "Restore iPhone ...". That should help.
Hopefully that would do it for you. If not, the next (more drastic) step would be to restore again as above, but choose "Restore as New" and then manually sync. Omit any apps that might be suspcious in their space use (primarily Game Center apps). -
my iphone 5 internal storage is full, I have just 1000 picutes of size 2mb each an average that costs only 2gb, what happened to remaining 6 gb space?
The size of the pictures themselves is only part of the story...Photos also prepares indexes of the pictures, thumbnails and further file information that take up, sometimes, as much or more space than the photos.
Other things like email, messages, tunes, cache information, browser history information, and so on take space. -
I have 25.0 GB and 23.4 GB available space yet I can't download a show, it says storage is full
I have 25.0 GB and 23.4 GB available but my iPad will not download a movie, says storage is full??
Settings / General / Usage is where to go and see what's eating up the local space on the device, and where.
Movies can't be viewed remotely so they have to be downloaded fully before they can be played. -
MY storage is full. I need more space on my retina laptop.
The storage is full on my laptop and I can't download anything. Please help.
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal. -

|Short Text |
| No roll storage space of length 1753104 available for internal storage. |
|What happened? |
| Each transaction requires some main memory space to process |
| application data. If the operating system cannot provide any more |
| space, the transaction is terminated. |
|What can you do? |
| |
| Try to find out (e.g. by targetted data selection) whether the |
| transaction will run with less main memory. |
| |
| If there is a temporary bottleneck, execute the transaction again. |
| - |
| |
| If the error persists, ask your system administrator to check the |
| following profile parameters: |
| |
| o ztta/roll_area (1.000.000 - 15.000.000) |
| Classic roll area per user and internal mode |
| usual amount of roll area per user and internal mode |
| o ztta/roll_extension (10.000.000 - 500.000.000) |
| Amount of memory per user in extended memory (EM) |
| o abap/heap_area_total (100.000.000 - 1.500.000.000) |
| Amount of memory (malloc) for all users of an application |
| server. If several background processes are running on |
| one server, temporary bottlenecks may occur. |
| Of course, the amount of memory (in bytes) must also be |
| available on the machine (main memory or file system swap). |
| Caution: |
| The operating system must be set up so that there is also |
| enough memory for each process. Usually, the maximum address |
| space is too small. |
| Ask your hardware manufacturer or your competence center |
| about this. |
| In this case, consult your hardware vendor |
| abap/heap_area_dia: (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000) |
| Restriction of memory allocated to the heap with malloc |
| for each dialog process. |
| Parameters for background processes: |
| abap/heap_area_nondia: (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000) |
| Restriction of memory allocated to the heap with malloc |
| for each background process. |
| Other memory-relevant parameters are: |
| em/initial_size_MB: (35-1200) |
| Extended memory area from which all users of an |
| application server can satisfy their memory requirement. |
| Note which actions and input led to the error. |

How to configure local disk on OVM Server as storage space to create VMs
Hello,
We have installed OVM Server 3.1.1 on a machine that has 250 GB of Hard disk space [Single disk].
While installing used an option - Remove all partitions and create a new default partition layout.
Around 4GB has been used and remaining 246 GB is left as free space.
From OVM Manager - the server is discovered but didn't discovered the physical disk [i.e. remaining 246 GB raw disk space].
Can someone help me to understand how to use local disk as storage space for creating and running VM's.
Thanks
SrinivasYou can? You've used every conceivable BIOS out there? You must really be full of yourself. There is absolutely no BIOS that I know of that gives this basic function. BIOSs do not "hard partition" anything. A "BIOS" is not made for such things. Do you even know what "BIOS" stands for?
I wonder why there is some many wanting to do this and are having problems.... I mean if it is such a straight forward thing to do..... It must be down right "intuitive".
You maybe speaking of a RAID "BIOS" but you obviously think you're not. Some motherboards have integrated RAID abilities. Intel RST comes to mind... BUT this isn't a feature of a MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
I've got some $50,000 servers that will not break a single hard drive up into multiple logical drives..... Now, I haven't worked on a "Stinkpad" for many years. Don't want to. However, I have never seen one that would do what you're saying you're doing.
You maybe trying to help.... but you're leading people down a wrong path.
Its just as easy to run virtual box and use the virtual box templates for Oracle VM. In fact, its more practical if you want to run Oracle VM on a laptop for testing purposes than blowing everything away and attempting to setup different LUNS on a single hard drive.
For your review...
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/configure-vm-templates-1656261.html
Although it's more reliable to use a separate location (such as an NFS share) for a storage repository, you can use a local disk of your Oracle VM Server instead, thus taking advantage of the local storage option. Beware, though: Oracle VM Server 3.0 doesn't allow you to utilize the unused space on the physical disk it's installed on. For local storage, you'll need at least one more physical disk. In other words, you'll need a total of two disks at minimum on your Oracle VM Server host if you want to use local storage. In practice, though, local storage is not a primary use case. The major downside to this approach is that local storage, by definition, cannot be shared between different servers.

Removing disk from a volume storage space 2012 r2
Hi, I've got a issue, here's my situation, i'm using storage space on a windows server 2012 R2 for my backups. Fisrt I had 14 3tb disk in mirror so there was 19tb usable for date. Now I needed more space so I just added 14 more disk and I extended the virtual
disk to 38tb. Then when I wnet into windows management -> disk management to extend the partition to use the full 38tb, I got the following error message
Virtual Disk Service error:
The volume cannot be extended because the number of clusters will
exceed the maximum number of clusters supported by the file system
Then I realized that the cluster size where only at 8k, reading on the Web i understood that I couldn't get more then 32tb.
Now I would like to remove all of the 14 disk I just added in the pool and create a new pool with 64Ko cluster size so I wont worry about my next size upgrade.
I'm afraid that even if windows see the added space has a not allocated space, the storage pool is now using the disks. I can't afford to lose any data.
How can I proceed??
I saw procedure on this site but they seem's to be for removing 1 disk... since I have 14 disk fully integrated in my pool I am a bit nervous following a one disk procedure
thank youHi,
As you have already added the 14 new disks into your existing pool, you will need to check if virtual disk is already extended onto these new physical disks.
If not, you should able to remove them from the pool - if virtual disk is already extended onto these new disks, It will ask for replacement to replace them with new hard disks.
If a part of hard disks could be removed, maybe you can migrate data onto these hard disks (no need to create a storage pool), delete the existing pool to recreate and migrate files back.

Hi. I've had a Blackberry Z30, current OS 10.2.1.3062, since late April 2014. In the last couple of days I've had notifications about the "Device Storage Almost Full".
I've done a complete security wipe to try to resolve this issue (as advised on another forum). I've tried a Factory reset (as advised on another forum - a Google search reveals lots of fellow BB owners with an identical issue, but so far no actual explanations as to what's happening, or solutions that work for me!). I have NO documents, videos, music, or any other downloaded files saved on my phone, and minimal apps too. The largest app is The Sims FreePlay - 785.4, and total storage listed for apps is 1.84Gb
Each time, I reinstall fewer and fewer apps, yet over an hour or more, I can actually look at the Device Monitor periodically and watch the Storage being filled up with more and more 'System' files, whatever these may be! If I look at the Device Monitor, Memory, System, it shows that during the night, when I am in 'Bedside Mode' in the last two days it has downloaded 9.5Gb of data - this drops to almost nothing during the day when I'm actually USING the phone. However, this evening, I recorded the following stats, with no corresponding download of data over wi-fi during the same period, so I'm not sure if these two things are actually related!
The stats were:
18:28 - Just backed up the phone, not being actively used by me, Wi-fi switched off for test purposes, mobile network still connected
Storage showed at 18:28: System - 1.77Gb, Apps - 1.83Gb, User - 135Mb, Free - 9.45Gb
18:31 - Wi-fi turned on, played Sims FreePlay for 30 minutes
19:04 - Device Monitor checked
Storage showed at 19:04: System - 3.58Gb
19:04-19:24 - Switched to Bedside Mode for test purposes
Storage showed at 19:24: System - 8.63Gb
19:25-19:30 - Phone not being actively used
Storage showed at 19:30: System - 9.79Gb
19:31 - Received notification "Device storage almost full"
Storage showed: System - 10.12Gb
Currently at System 10.97Gb, User - 134Mb, Apps - 1.84Gb, Free 255Mb
This seems to be the maximum amount of space System can take up. Once it reaches this level, it remains static and does not increase any more. If I'm lucky, some of the random things I've been trying manage to actually clear it (or it appears so - may just be coincidence!), until the next time. When it starts piling on the pounds faster than a Weight Watcher at an all you can eat buffet (i.e. ME !)
I've owned SimsFreePlay for several months and my children, as well as myself, have been using it regularly. This week is the first time I've seen this issue, so I'm not sure if the game can be blamed!
Sometimes, I can do a restart by holding the power button and it clears out the excess System data, but not always (more often doesn't help than does). Once, I managed to clear out the excess by 'Resetting Sync Relationships' in BBLink (although that could just have been coincidental as it hasn't worked any time since!). I've tried 'rebooting' through holding down the higher and lower volume buttons simultaneously, as someone advised someone else on another forum when I Googled the issue.
I've tried browsing the folders and files via the USB connection to the PC to clear out any other rogue data that may be filling it up. I have no Android apps side-loaded since the first security wipe.

Hi. I've had a Blackberry Z30, current OS 10.2.1.3062, since late April 2014. In the last couple of days I've had notifications about the "Device Storage Almost Full".
I've done a complete security wipe to try to resolve this issue (as advised on another forum). I've tried a Factory reset (as advised on another forum - a Google search reveals lots of fellow BB owners with an identical issue, but so far no actual explanations as to what's happening, or solutions that work for me!). I have NO documents, videos, music, or any other downloaded files saved on my phone, and minimal apps too. The largest app is The Sims FreePlay - 785.4, and total storage listed for apps is 1.84Gb
Each time, I reinstall fewer and fewer apps, yet over an hour or more, I can actually look at the Device Monitor periodically and watch the Storage being filled up with more and more 'System' files, whatever these may be! If I look at the Device Monitor, Memory, System, it shows that during the night, when I am in 'Bedside Mode' in the last two days it has downloaded 9.5Gb of data - this drops to almost nothing during the day when I'm actually USING the phone. However, this evening, I recorded the following stats, with no corresponding download of data over wi-fi during the same period, so I'm not sure if these two things are actually related!
The stats were:
18:28 - Just backed up the phone, not being actively used by me, Wi-fi switched off for test purposes, mobile network still connected
Storage showed at 18:28: System - 1.77Gb, Apps - 1.83Gb, User - 135Mb, Free - 9.45Gb
18:31 - Wi-fi turned on, played Sims FreePlay for 30 minutes
19:04 - Device Monitor checked
Storage showed at 19:04: System - 3.58Gb
19:04-19:24 - Switched to Bedside Mode for test purposes
Storage showed at 19:24: System - 8.63Gb
19:25-19:30 - Phone not being actively used
Storage showed at 19:30: System - 9.79Gb
19:31 - Received notification "Device storage almost full"
Storage showed: System - 10.12Gb
Currently at System 10.97Gb, User - 134Mb, Apps - 1.84Gb, Free 255Mb
This seems to be the maximum amount of space System can take up. Once it reaches this level, it remains static and does not increase any more. If I'm lucky, some of the random things I've been trying manage to actually clear it (or it appears so - may just be coincidence!), until the next time. When it starts piling on the pounds faster than a Weight Watcher at an all you can eat buffet (i.e. ME !)
I've owned SimsFreePlay for several months and my children, as well as myself, have been using it regularly. This week is the first time I've seen this issue, so I'm not sure if the game can be blamed!
Sometimes, I can do a restart by holding the power button and it clears out the excess System data, but not always (more often doesn't help than does). Once, I managed to clear out the excess by 'Resetting Sync Relationships' in BBLink (although that could just have been coincidental as it hasn't worked any time since!). I've tried 'rebooting' through holding down the higher and lower volume buttons simultaneously, as someone advised someone else on another forum when I Googled the issue.
I've tried browsing the folders and files via the USB connection to the PC to clear out any other rogue data that may be filling it up. I have no Android apps side-loaded since the first security wipe. Once, I actually did nothing (was just poised, about to do another reluctant wipe and restore of the OS, so was glad I saved myself the bother!) and it cleared itself out spontaneously!

Hello and thanks for your detailed iinfo.
So...let me summarize this: during the day, under normal use (WiFi OFF and data service ON) the phone`s storage is staying the same. Then you switch WiFi ON and start playing the SIM game and according to your time line, in aprox 60 min, the phone runs out of storage....
Have you tryied to take a look at your "Device Monitor" > "Storage" before the phone becomes unusable, just to see what`s eating up your storage space?
