Why Im I losing memory so fast?

I have an Compaq Presario laptop with 250GB hard drive and 4GB DDR2 memory.
it came with norton security for 60 days
and it is windows vista.
why is the memory going down so fast? now it is at 155GB and i only had it for a month and i don't have much in it maybe like 400 songs, but thats just like 3GB of memory. I have downloaded programs but I have uninstall them and it does not even give me back the GB Ive lost. why does it go down so fast and can i fix it?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Not an expert but the one explanation I can come up with is that the space is lost to System restore. this is a part of Windows and it generaly activates its self when you satrt the computer. It can chew up to 15% acording to the windows help file of a HDD space which accounts for alot on your drive. remember that the 250GB drive is usually split in two parts. One is your C: partition and the other is a D: partitio (generally this is the recovery partition) to shut off system restore and get some space back you can do the following:
go to Control panel.
Double click the System icon
In the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To turn off System Protection for a hard disk, clear the check box next to the disk, and then click OK
Reply back if this worked and if you see any increse in memory.
Cheers

Why am I losing memory and songs?

After some recent music downloads from Amazon, some of the songs were skipping. I deleted and reloaded the songs. When I played them, the ipod classic 160 gb crashed with Apple logo coming up. After clearing, the ipod showed no music but full memory of the 10600 songs. I copied the Ipod's music folder to a backup drive. After restoring the Ipod, I loaded the music folder from the backup drive to my Windows 7 based ITunes library. All 10600 songs restored to the Ipod. However, I noticed scattered artwork missing while playing even though the Ipod files showed the artwork in the info section. Now after one week and no syncs to Itunes, I have lost 2300 songs and the equivalent memory. What is going on? (Virus? Firmware? Corruption?) Anybody seen anything like this?

OK, so it's solved.
Whatever you download goes (if all defaults are set) to the Downloads folder in your user profile.
Depending on the file type and software settings a copy CAN be made without it being obvious to the user.
For example if you download an mp3 file (of your friend's band playing in their garage), it will go to Downloads. If you click on it and it opens in iTunes, a copy of that file will be put into the itunes library - making it two copies of the same file. If you then delete it form the Downloads the iTunes copy stays on your HD until you delete it (best way would be to do it through iTunes).
Same with some video files, if played through itunes, a copy will be made. QT will not make a copy as it doesn't use the "library" concept.
Images and some video - if imported to iPhoto - again, a copy will be put into the library.
Also remember that if you drag any files between volumes, the default action is COPY.
If a file is locked, even if you drag from a folder to another - the default action is COPY as well.
What happened in your case, I don't know, but all is well it would seem.
And one more thing (a bit off topic, but worth knowing)...
If you delete a file from a flash drive, you must empty the trash while the drive is plugged in, otherwise it will re-apear in trash every time you plug the drive in.

Why am I losing memory after I delete a file?

I have a Macbook Pro and it runs OS X 10.5. I downloaded a torrent movie the other day put it on a flashdrive and deleted all associated files and I still lost 2+ GB of memory. How is this possible and how do I fix it? I dont think I should lose that much space after I delete a downloaded file otherwise whats the point of deleting. My flash drive is a Geek Squad 16 GB with no U3 technology. Please help as this is uber frustrating!

OS 10.9.2 upgrade - then constantly losing memory - and finally resolved it...

A few days ago, I upgraded to OS 10.9.2 (2011 17" 4-core i7 250GB SSD MBP) - and the following day noticed a dramatic drop in available HD memory. I use FreeSpace to monitor my various HDs and only saw the issue when its value appeared red (<20%) in my upper icons. Started dumping unwanted files (it was time for a clear-out!), but the available space still continued to fall. That made no sense. Closing down apps made no difference. With nothing open, the memory level still continued to steadily drop.
Took it in to the Genius Bar the next day, where they re-installed 10.9.2 and sent me home to "see what happens now..." Did a re-install using Time Machine (Migration Assistant). Initially, all seemed fine, and then the available memory space started dropping again. I turned off all apps, to see what would happen, but this issue continued. Time Machine kept sending an error, as now did DuperDuper! which I use as a second back-up app (yes, I'm anal about backing up). These responses were new. Patently, something was seriously amiss.
Last night, I went to turn Time Machine off, not wanting or needing its error messages any longer - I had another appointment lined up at the Genius Bar for this morning, to try and resolve this losing-memory issue. All apps were closed down. It was only a minute or so after turning Time Machine off in System Preferences that I saw the FreeSpace indicator change from red to black and the available memory space spin back up to where it should be in less than a minute - an upward jump of around 50GB, for no apparent reason. I turned Time Machine back on - just in case! - but nothing changed. Memory level still back in the black. It has remained so overnight and still sits there, as it used to.
So! - just putting this out there as a situational report, in case it can help anyone else. I am not "techie" enough to know what happened or why - just sharing what I observed. If it helps one other person, then that's good!!
Happy Days!!

Thanks indeed for that fast response!!
Time Machine is still creating its first backup after I re-partitioned one of my external HDs last night, to give everything more space (another 8 hours to go, I gather), so I've yet to see what happens when it begins taking those "snapshots" again. At least now I know where to look, to see what is taking up the space!
I also read a thread where the snapshots can be turned off using Terminal, and that may be a future option if TM is the actual culprit, as it appears.
Again, my thanks for your prompt response and advice. Greatly appreciated.

I'm getting a similar crash message when I run su. It errs this way only the first time I run it, however. The second su works:

Why does my Macbook memory show full in other

Why does firefox leak memory up to 2Gb on windows7 64-bits on my Alienware computer but not on my 2 other Inspiron 6400 and 1750?

right now i have only 5 tabs open with information about firefox help firefox memory leak and so on just to try to see if i can find anything about why i have this memory leak and the memory leak is already up 1.3 Gb.

i have the same problem, please do something about it! I have 2gb RAM and after a few hours ff uses 80% of my RAM and additionally 1.5gb of virtual memory. This slows down ff, because of copying data from virtual memory to ram.
I know this is because of caching websites in RAM but it really slows down ff, here is my solution:
1. A user is able to specify maximum RAM to be used by ff
2. Website caches are sorted by last access datetime - now if firefox reaches the max RAM - it removes the oldest website from RAM.
Simple and effective. Damn it.

Why does my battery go low fast?

Why does my battery goes so fast ?

You can't overcharge the battery. The circuits in the iPod prevent that. For maximum battery life Apple does however recommend almost furlly discharing and then fully charging the batter monthly.
How long does the batter last and what is the iPod doing during that time.

Why should I buy memory from Apple?

It appears that I can buy the upgrade to 2GB for my new Macbook for $80 from local retailers yet it costs $330 from Mac.. is there a reason for this??
Also will buying the cheaper ram and installing it myself void my extended warranty? Will buying the ram from apple and installing it myself void the warranty??

Phoned Apple Toronto Eaton Center this morning and asked the guy that asnwered.. he said that maybe the Hertz was lower with the non-Apple ones and that they wouldn't be as fast.. also said he had never heard of people using RAM other than Mac (which was a blatant lie unless he's an idiot)..
I'm really concerned that no one at Apple can answer this question or really any that I've had..
They're giving you a line of BS. All MacBooks use 200-pin, non-ECC, unbuffered PC2-5300 (667 MHz) SO-DIMMs, and the large majority are CL5 rated. There is no functional or speed difference (provided that the module truly meets the spec) between memory sold by Apple and industry-standard modules sold by 3rd party sources. The quality of the module is important in terms of ultimate reliability, but I wouldn't have any problems recommending Crucial, Patriot, PNY, or Samsung. There are also many very good manufacturers/resellers out there, although some may not be so reliable. The following is a little bit outdated (for 1st generation MacBook) but they're right about the memory type. Note that there's nothing about Apple-sold memory being faster (and in fact the clock speed is specified). If you did in fact use a module with a lower megahertz clock speed rating, it would likely not be recognized and even if it were it might fail from being run faster than it should be.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
Both memory slots can accept an SDRAM module that meets the following specifications:
Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR SO-DIMM) format
1.25 inch or smaller
512 MB or 1 gigabyte (GB)
200-pin
PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz Type RAM
I did have a question as to whether or not a PC2-5300 CL4 module would be recognized by my MacBook and/or whether or not it could take advantage of that shorter CAS latency.
BTW - I went to get some memory tonight for a PC and wanted to get some for my new MacBook. The store had 2 GB (2x1GB) matched kits (meeting the correct 200-pin PC2-5300) specification for $50, compared to the $300 that Apple wants. I was looking for a $110 4GB kit, but that was the frys.com online price and not the $150 price in their store for a Patriot 4GB matched pair. I held off on getting anything for my MacBook, but did get a 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-4200 matched pair for a PC notebook. It probably needs it too given that Vista is such a memory hog.
