How can we free up space. and which files are important which ones are not?

Hello.
what O.S. do you have ?
Version ?
Be very careful with what you delete in var. You could leave your system in an unstable state
for example in HPUX it's not the same thing as to go in there and delete a particular software manually instead of using swremove, swremove uninstalls software the rigth way.
execute following command from var filesystem.
du -sk *|sort -nr

  • HT203808 I have an iphone 5 and an iphone 5s and an i pad all asociated with the same apple id, however the email address is no longer in use and i need to delete this off the devices but get incorrect password info everytime i try to reset it.

    I'm having trouble deleting an apple id from both my iphones and ipad mini. The email address is no linger in use and evertime i try to reste the password i get  the incorrect message. I'm struggling to delete the aplle id account on all these device. please help!!!!!

    You are obviously talking about a password that you need in order to delete the iCloud account since you do not delete an Apple ID on a device, you sign out of it and sign in with the new one.
    Did you follow the steps in this article that led you here?

  • Under Solaris 9, my system is complaining that the /var directory is full.

    Hi,
    What can I do to free up space in the /var directory without deleting or removing important files used by other processes and programs? Please help anyone!

    Hello,
    Most of the files in /va/adm folder are log files, you can safely delete/empty those files( caution: Dont delete the files without .0 or .1 etc extensions, Some applications does not work if log file does not exists). Make those files empty instead of deleting it. Do the same in /var/log folder.
    example:
    root@sal # ls -al /var/adm/
    total 3544
    drwxrwxr-x 9 root sys 512 Sep 26 03:10 .
    drwxr-xr-x 37 root sys 1024 Dec 31 2007 ..

    -rw-r--r-- 1 adm adm 990636 Sep 26 14:32 wtmpx
    You can do rm on /var/adm/ messages.0, /var/adm/ messages.1 etc
    Empty the other files using > ex: > /var/adm/ messages; > /var/adm/sulog
    Thanks,

    -remove the javascript directory since it is getting cleaned and recreated during the build process.
    -this should make SVN happy and get the builds working again
    Removed Paths:

    - Where? That depends upon what you what. But, going by the letter of what you asked, you shouldn't deploy any applications or packages if you want them on your newly images systems, you should make them a part of the TS using Install Software and Install
    Application tasks.
    - How many times? You should only need one although depending upon what you are deploying and if you are using offline updates, some folks add more. I typically use two one right after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task (just like the task sequence wizard
    builds for you) to update the OS and "things" in the image and one at the end to catch additional updates for apps and components added during the TS. Note that you also have to initiate an update scan cycle for additional install update tasks to work. Do
    this by adding a run-command line task before the second Install Updates task with the proper WMIC incantation.
    - Offline Updates only injects CBS updates into the image which are typically just core OS updates. You should also update your image though to include non-CBS updates. Using a build and catpure task sequence makes this easy.

  • The data form formname is currently in use and is locked by user username

    We run planning 931 on weblogic 91 and sometimes our administrators find our forms locked. So the are not able to edit them.
    The following message appears +“the data form <formname> is currently in use and is locked by user <username>”.+
    Off course it always happens with users who are not available themselves to unlock the form for others. ;-)
    Only a planning windows service restart unlockes this. In our case the form is not unlocked after 2 hours.
    I found this phrase via google. It suggests that there is a certain (time) propertie which unlockes the form after a given period.
    Does anyone know where to set this property? Or to solve this otherwise.
    Only one person at a time can use the Add a Row function on a particular form. When you have the form open, everyone else is locked out. If you close the form (using the X) instead of cancelling it, it will remain locked by you for the next two hours, even though it's not on your screen anymore. If this happens, you will be the only one who can reopen the form. You can unlock the form by reopening it and then clicking the Cancel button to exit properly.

    no solution found. A restart of the services did the job. Hopefully this is not necessary again.

  • I am setting up my ipod touch and it won't allow me to add a phone number to the list of phone numbers for some reason, and I need to be able to get my messages. What do I do?

    I can't get the number for imessage to add another number, and I need to be able to get my messages. I also can't change anything for facetime. What do I do to add a number?

    An iPod (and iPad) ony have a phone number for Messages (and FaceTime) if there is an iPhone with Messages/Facetime using the same ID for Messages and facetime.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    If you can't change the Settings that means that the Restrictions that prevent changing accounts is set. Settings>General>Restrictions

  • When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

  • I copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE

    Ι copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE. I don't have the choice to delete it only from the main album.

    You mean you copied photos from your camera roll to a new album, correct? Well, that's the way it works. The photos wern't actually copied to your new album, just pointers to the actual photos, which are still in your camera roll. So, yes, if you delete from your camera roll, you remove them from your phone.
