VZ In Home Agent - Taking up all disk space

First off, my issue is resloved. Just throwing this out there for Verizon to take a look at.
My disk space would go from 250+ GB free in a few hours to 0 GB free. I couldn't figure it out.
After playing around a few days I found out it was the VZ In Home Agent. I had blocked it's access to the internet one my firewall popped up.
Removing the block on it thus cleared the issue out. There is a major flaw there. Not sure what it was attempting to connect for but it was taking up 250GB worth of my HD.
I have uninstalled all things Verizon since then.

Sounds like someone while making their programs forgot to place a cap on the size of the log files? I've seen that happen on a few web servers where if there was an issue with MySQL and PHP, would cause the MySQL Error logs to grow up to 700GB big in a matter of an hour before the server ran out of disk space and programs failed to run.

HT201656 In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8G of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?

In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8GB of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?
On the iphone itself under settings, general, usage it indicates 12.7GB used and only 840MB available. I have one app (Audible) that is taking up 1.6GB, photos&camera take up 636MB, Spotify takes up 495MB, everything else takes up less less than 100MB each and totalling less than 2.5GB.
So if Audible is taking up 1.6GB and Spotify is taking up 636MB and all other apps take up 2.5GB this combined totals around 5GB. I have a 16GB iphone 4s.
16GB minus 5GB (my calculated usage) equals 11GB remaining. Allow for some required space utilization (let's say 3GB) and that leaves 8GB remaining. Why does my phone indicate 840MB available? That seems to equate to the amount shown in itunes that indicates 8GB of "other".
What is this 8GB of "other" that is taking up so much storage space on my iphone?
Thanks in advance.

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

In Shared services, Log Files taking lot of Disk space

Hi Techies,
I have a question. Its like the Logs in BI+ in Shared Service Server is taking lot of Disk space about 12 GB a day.
Following files are taking more space
Shared Service-Security-Client log ( 50 MB )
Server-message-usage Service.log ( About 7.5 GB )
why this is happening. Any suggestions to avoid this.
Thanks in Advance,
Sonu

Temp files eating up all disk space on SCSM 2012 R2 install

Hello Everyone,
Problem
Under this path SCSM is creating a ton of temp files using up all disk space (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\System Center Service Manager 2010) All files are .bin and .hash files. I just cleaned out 120 GBs
of files which accumulated over the period of 30 days.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? This was not a problem when we were on server 2008 R2. When we migrated SCSM management server to server 2012 r2 it when problem started.
Environment
Management server (server 2012 R2)
Data warehouse server (server 2008 R2)
Data on remote SQL server. SQL 2008 R2
CU 5 was the last update

Might be worth checking that the AutoRefresh/Cache policy is set to True via the SDK?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg461136.aspx
From PowerShell:
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Service Manager\SDK Binaries\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.dll"
$NS = "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement"
$EMGType = "$NS.EnterpriseManagementGroup"
$EMG = new-object $EMGType localhost

Output True or False

Good luck!

What is taking up all my space?

I have an 16 GB iPad mini that says its using 6 GB of space, but my apps don't even come close to that amount of space. How can I find out what is taking up all my space? I know people will say to back up my iPad and restore, but I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7, so that is not an option for me. Thanks so much in advance!

If you are still on iOS 6 on your mini, you may have gotten the auto-pushed iOS 7 update download on your device. Check your device under Settings>General>Software Update. If you have a button there labeled "Install" for the iOS 7 update, the update has been pushed to your device by Apple without your knowledge or permission, then extracted from an approx 1GB download file to a ~3.1GB installation package which is now using ~3.1GB of your storage space. It happened to my iPad mini along with an 8GB iPhone 4 (~2.5GB - 3GB of space robbed from an 8GB device) as well. The actual size of the update after extracted can vary between ~2.5GB to over 3.1GB depending on the device.

Windows Folder taking All Disk Space?

Hello SharePoint Fam,
I got alert today in CA saying that my APP Server was running low on disk space C drive. C Drive is 80GB and Windows folder is taking almost 30GB of that data. C drive only has 10GB of space left. I know alot of important system files are
in Windows folder, is there anything in this folder I could look into removing? System Volume Info is 40GB but not sure exactly if i can modify that at all. Volume Shadow Copy is not enabled at all....Thanks n advance

File oc4j~home~default_group~1 - Consuming all the space available on disk

Hi all,
I developed an application using Oracle MapViewer and this application is running on a Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 using OC4J container.
After two months in a production environment the file oc4j~home~default_group~1 is consuming 46 Gb of disk space.
I suspect that this file holds information about OC4J and my application logs. (I use log4j to handle the logs) but I´m not sure.
Is there any thing I can do to avoid that this file gets bigger?
Am I correct about the log stuff?
Best Regards,
Luis Paolini

qlin,
I read the documentation that you suggested, but I still could not solve the problem. I don´t know which .xml file must be modified to use ODL. I´ve tried some of them without success.
The file I mentioned is created in D:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\opmn\logs
and its content has OC4J logs and my application logs (Log4j). Something like
INFO [OC4J Launcher] 127 ::: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.util.LocalStrings', returnNull=true
INFO [OC4J Launcher] 127 ::: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.action.ActionResources', returnNull=true
INFO [AJPRequestHandler-ApplicationServerThread-0] 72 ::: LoginAction: validaUsuario

What's taking up my disk space?

I have an iMac with a 500-gig drive. All my photos and videos are on an external drive. According to "info" the internal drive has 384Mb of disk space left! For the life of me I can't find what is taking up all the disk space and it's driving me crazy. Any way to find what directory, or directories are chewing up all the disk space? I have OS X 10.6.8.

no, it works in Snow Leopard. I used Snow Leopard before I installed Lion. Being new to mac, you will find these links helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343, http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/, http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/

What is taking up all the space on the hard drive?

My 500GB iMac is only 18 months old, and only has 115GB available. The two big users of space for me are iTunes, and iMovie, which between them account for 175 to 200GB. But what is taking up all the rest? I have a lot of photos in iPhoto, but am not sure how to find the usage of those, and doubt they account for a huge chunk. I use lots of apps, but do not have a significant number of additional programs, nor any presentations, spreadsheets, or other big users of space.
I would appreciate any suggestions for places to look for bug users of space. Also, are there any programs as there are in Windows for disk optimization?

I didn't mention iTunes, because it shouldn't have it's own trash. iMovie has it's own trash for what you trim from the original content when creating a video. This allows for undoing changes. Once the project is complete, you probably don't need those deleted clips - and they can take up a lot of space. I am not aware of this behavior changing in the new iMovie, but it may not have the same interface for clearing the trash as the previous versions.

How can I regain the choice of merely opening/viewing an e-mail photo attachment or downloading it and taking up unnecessary disk space?

Idiot Internet Explorer always gave me the option of merely opening a document or saving it to my hard drive. I thought Firefox was giving me that option also, until I started realizing over the past two or three months - I've been using Firefox since December - that every photo I look at is being downloaded and saved onto my hard drive!
I had zero disk space left to do Internet security updates with last Thursday. Been cleaning out my "Downloads" file. Most of the stuff I didn't even choose to download. It's just being saved in the file automatically.

If the files are loose inside the iPhoto library package here's one way to get them out:
1 - open your library, select all of the photos in the library and add a unique keyword, XXXX, to all of them.
2 - Rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
3 - open the library, create a smart album with the criterial "Keyword is not XXXX".
4 - the smart album will include those photos that were not visible in your original library. Select them and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move them to the iPhoto Trash bin.
5 - empty the iPhoto Trash bin via the iPhoto ➙ Empty iPhoto Trash Bin menu option.
6 - empty the Trash bin in the Dock to remove the files from your hard drive completely.
Be sure to read Note 1 above. You can use the new library without your books, slideshow, etc. and it will not contain those errant files. Of course delete the original library if the new one is satisfactory.

Why is Lightroom taking up local disk space while publishing?

I have a relatively large photo catalog (200k photos +) that I am in the process of paring down with the help of Lightroom 5. Along the way I have kept certain groups of photos published to Flickr using Smart Photosets so that if I eliminate a duplicate photo from the catalog I will be able to "re-publish" and eliminate that duplicate from the published collection.
My Catalog Files, My Backups, and the actual image files that are referenced in the catalog are all located on an external drive. I did this so that I could have everything on one drive for the time being while I eliminate a ton of photos from the catalog.
The issue that I am running into is that while a collection is being published to Flickr I get a message popping up telling me that I am low on disk space on my local (C) drive and that I need to free up some space. This is odd because everything is located on the external drive (catalog and image files) and I am publishing to Flickr.
I am just trying to figure out if there is a default somewhere that is causing Lightroom to create new thumbnails or previews somewhere on my C drive while I am publishing images to Flickr or something like that. Any idea what sort of data might be accumulating in the process here? And is there anyway to move it all or eliminate it for the time being while I am finishing the elimination of duplicate files from my catalog?
Thanks!

Temp files created by Lightroom are cleaned up by Lightroom, or should be anyway.
Is your C: drive short of space? If so, that should definitely be remedied pronto.
If not, then you got some other issue...

How do I get rid of the "other" space that's taking up my disk space?

So my mac has been constantly giving me notifications about how my hardrive space is almost full. So I went into my storage space to find out what was taking up so much space on my laptop to find that this "other" seems to be taking up the most space. So I was just wondering how I can decrease this or how I can get rid of it?

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 an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo 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.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded 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:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing 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.

Media Cache Folder taking up 80GB disk space

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Sony VAIO S with Adobe Premiere Elements 8 preinstalled, and ripped my CD collection into iTunes. I opened Premiere Elements and created a project to see what sort of features were included, but didn't import any media or capture any video.
I (even more) recently found that my disk space had dropped by roughly 80 GB, seemingly due to the Adobe Media Cache folder. It would seem that Premiere has been running some sort of background service (my suspicions are on ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe, a program that reappeared briefly after I 'cleaned' the cache folder) that has imported my AAC iTunes music collection into the Media section in Premiere, and in the process uncompressed all 7 GB of my 256KB/s AAC music into 80GB of 16bit/48KHz PCM, copied to the Adobe Media Cache Folder in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache\Media Cache Files
My questions are:
- Can I delete the Media Cache Folder without causing problems with Premiere?
- Can I prevent Premiere from adding all my media automatically (and uncompressing it in the process)? I don't mind not having all my music in the 'Media' sidebar of Premiere, I can just import the music I need.
Specs (if they help): Sony VAIO S, Intel i3 330M, GMA HD, 4GB RAM, Win 7 HP 64 bit. Premiere Elements 8.0.1. I also have PSE installed.
Thanks in advance,
Jim.

What is taking up my disk space?

I have a Mac Book Pro, and I have almost no disk space left. I think I know where the problem is...I take a lot of pictures. But when I load them to iPhoto, it saves them in multiple folders: Original, Modified and Recovered. Can I delete one or more of these folders? The last time I tried something like that, I lost all of my thumbnails in iPhoto, making it useless. I compressed a folder then un-compressed it, and they were all gone. I really don't know what to do here. Can anyone tell me exactly what's going on?

You are in the Leopard Server forum. You may find better answers in the iLife forum.

I need to transfer all photos to an external hard drive. Many photos have been moved around or deleted from computer hard drive, but still have a very full hard disk. Are the photos with questionmarks in Lightroom still taking up hard disk space? I'm so l

Hi folks,
My hard disk is full. I already moved lots of photos from other folders on the hard disk to other external hard drives, so there are a lot of question marks in Lightroom. So, are those photos still taking up room on the computer hard disk? I want to move everything I have in Lightroom off of the computer to another external hard drive, in hopes that will free up space. I watched a tutorial, and read some things about it, but I need simple instructions please.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.
