lot of space occupied on hard disk

leandromartinez98 — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:37:44 GMT

I have a Vaio NR laptop, which has a 200 gb HD. It
has three partitions, one 10 GB recovery partition,
one 70 GB linux partition and a 120 GB partition which
has the original windows instalation.

The problem
is that in this 120 partition which has the original
vaio instalation. It says that I have
already 43 GB of data. When I go from folder to folder
in the C: drive, program files are taking 3 GB, users
another 3GB and windows about 9 GB. With some other
stuff I can only find that about 15GB are being used.
I don't understand why the system displays that 43 GB
are being used.
Any hint?
Thanks,
Leandro.

Hello Leandro, are you checking the Size of the file or Size on the disk?
There's a difference between those 2 things.
You should always consider the size on disk because it's the real size that a file occupies.

For example, if you create a txt file and type only one character in it, the file size will be 1 byte but the size that it occupies on the disk is actually 4096bytes. It's a matter of the OS file system characteristics. Nothing wrong with it!

Hi luisram,

I'm going to answer you in portuguese...i hope you understand...

No disco C:\ crie a pasta C:\ Temp
Nas propriedades do sistema em Avançadas - Variáveis do Ambiente vá às variáveis de utilizador...edit a variável TEMP e mude para TEMP -C:\Temp
de seguida edit a variável TMP e mude para C:\Temp
clique OK

Vá pasta Temp que criou no disco C:\ e apague todos os ficheiros..
Semanalmente (faço isto todos os dias) apague todos os ficheiros que se encontram nesta pasta...

Vai ver que o seu disco diminui substancialmente de tamanho...

Caro leandromartinez98,

Seja bem vindo ao ClubVaio.

Este fórum dedica-se a usuários que falam português. Por favor, use este idioma, ou terei que remover seu tópico para o fórum em inglês.

Fica aqui registrado o aviso.

Quanto a limpeza do Hard Disk, a ferramenta indicada no link irá ajudá-lo...

Este programa é bem simples de ser usado e faz a limpeza de arquivos temporários e outros tipos de "lixo" que consomem espaço em disco.

Eu o tenho instalado em meus computadores. É ótimo e não custa nada.

CCleaner

Quanto a quantidade de espaço utilizado... é um mistério do Windows Vista que eu já ví muitas pessoas reclamando...

Case Closed.
