I continue to get a Low Disk Space message on my computer. I have moved all my files to an external hard drive, run Disk Cleanup many times a day and also installed and run CCLeaner, but I continue to get this message for Low Disk Space. This is a home
computer that is not networked. I have read that in Vista they created a Shadow Storage capability, but did not put a maximum amount of data. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to stop growing my C drive? I have had this computer for a year and nothing
is on the hard drive except what is required to run the computer yet I have 29GB of used space.
You do not say what Drive has the warning message.
There is a Recovey Partition on most new Computers.
Click Start > Computer > See what drives you have.
If it is the Recovey D: Drive that is full:
Contact your Computer Manufacturer on how to remove anything you have saved to the Recovery Drive, as it is their Recovery Partition, not Microsoft’s.
Your D: Drive normally is the Recovery Partition, that the Manufacturer put there, for your computer to put it back to factory settings in case of System Crash.
It is not for you to save anything to; and it is not to compress and/or Index,, Disk Cleanup, use for Backup, Defrag or have System Restore turned on for it.
Whatever you have installed or saved to D:, delete it very carefully, stop indexing, uncompress.
You are supposed to have made Recovery disks from D:, in case of Hard Drive failure.
Ask the Manufacturer how to make them, and how to delete/fix what you have done there.
