Are your backups going on there? You can either delete some older backups or increase the space for backups.
You can also put backups on an external hard drive.

Running out of space on Recovery Image (D)

I followed all of the instructions to make the back up disks and the recovery image by using an external hard disk. Every time I start up the pc, I get the error message: Low Disk Space. You are Running out of Space on your Recovery Image (D) drive. Click here to see if you can free of space. I try that and it doesn't free up any space. Additionally, the Recovery Drive is using 18.9+G of Space and only 9 Meg are free. How can I easily partition more space to the Recovery Drive so I don't have to start all over on the PC. This pc is less than 30 days old.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?

Windows SBS 2011 Essentials out of space on C Drive

Hi there!
We have a Dell server running SBS Essentials 2011, and we have recently been getting messages saying that the C Drive is full. When we purchased the server, we ensured that Dell installed loads of storage for us which is confusing.
Upon looking into it the C drive is limited to 60GB. Is there a way that we can increase this limit from 60GB to use some of the excess storage that we have spread over the D & E Drives? With 0.5GB left it keeps shouting at us! If we could enlarge the
drive to 120Gb we should be fine for another couple of years.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I chatted with Adobe and got the programs move to the D drive. Since then, I have found the appdata/roaming/adobe file that has a ton of disk space (32 gigs) still used on the C Drive. How can I move this folder over to the D Drive as well?

Out of space on C drive

Is it better to compress music and/or video files? If not, how do I take all my itunes files and programs over to my
D drive (where there is ample space)?

I am not sure how the first question relates to the second. Unless you are trying to make your files smaller to take up less room AND stillhave them playable in iTunes?
As to your second questions, see this article on moving iTunes music folders (including to other drives)...

Hard drive - out of space - set external drive ?

my startup disc does not have enough space left to burn dvd's.
can i set idvd to use a different disc for the encode/assets ?
thanks,
stephen

Hi
As Glo H writes.
Or put in another way.
iDVD Can't address any other external or internal hard disks but the start-up
boot hard disk for it's scrap files. And these together with Mac OS (UNIX) needs
about 25Gb free space for normal SD 4x3 video.
HD - needs much more.
BUT One can.
• Get an external hard disk
• FIREWIRE - *is a must* to do this (WesternDigitals WD - doesn't work - My LaCie does)
• Format it as Mac OS Extended
• Put Mac OS and iLife on this
• Start from this external hard disk (and as it's new will have plenty of space)
I do this and it works great.

Running out of disk space on D drive

Hello!
Recently I keep getting a msg warning me that Im running out of space on D drive. I clean it up as suggested but it's not having any effect.
The MS forum moderator suggests it's a not an operating system issue but an issue for Toshiba.
It appears that files are being saved to D drive which shouldn't be happening...?

To be honest I dont understand what the problem is. You got this message but you didnt explain to us is partition D really full of data or not. You cleaned it up. It is OK but how? Have you removed data from partition D to some other partition or on external HDD maybe? Have you made more free space? What have you done?
You explain to us whole time what the message says and that you have cleaned it up following some MS advice but at least you didnt tell us anything what can help us to understand your problem.
If there is only 10% free space make more free space and everything will be OK.
You know, we dont know how you have configured your notebook. How many important data is saved on HDD. Nothing. How to give you some useful advice now?
MS has own opinion and if they say it is issue for notebook manufacturer what was their main argument for this? is HDD defective or what?

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.

Low disk space in recovery disk (d) drive in window 8.1

I continue to receive the subject warning. I have never added any files to D, but I have 32.3 MB free of 25.5 GB. I have Administrator privilrges but am unable to view the files on D. When I click on recovery, I get an HP warning.

Hi @pjd10
I grasp that you are a low disk space error on recovery D. I regret that you are having that difficulty.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Error: Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on Recovery (Windows 8) that should guide you to resolving this issue.
Best of Luck!

Query to find out the free disk space on C: drive

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create a query in Queries section under Monitoring, To find out the free disk space of C: drive.
Am using the below query, but it shows lot many fields, I need only Machine names of the collection and their
Free Disk Space on C: drive
select * from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK on SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.DeviceID = "C:" and SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.FreeSpace > 1024
Please assist

The SELECT part of the query will govern what fields you are shown, so perhaps try:
Select SMS_R_System.ResourceID, SMS_R_System.NETBIOSname, SMS_G_System_Logical_Disk.FreeSpace
from SMS_R_System
inner join SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK on SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId
where SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.DeviceID = "C:" and SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.FreeSpace > 1024
I hope that helps,

Hard drive is running out of space!! HELP!!

I just purchased a new macbook pro with retina 4 days ago. I've noticed that the hard drive is almost out of space already. I removed all pics and music to external drive and still have "backups and other" that are taking up 75% of HD. How do I clean up these files? Thanks!!

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. 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. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your 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.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. 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.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your 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.
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 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 ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the 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 (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS 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 ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

If you are trying to delete some files get out of Disk Utility, it is not for that!
How did you backup and what are you trying to achieve?
