如何修理收縮的磁盤空間在景色

想知道為什麼的您自由磁盤空間在您的(典型地C:\驅動)總收縮和成為的系統驅動較少和較少? 不安裝新的節目或下載大文件從互聯網,使用的空間在地方驅動器增加和變得大沒有原因,甚而卸載一些軟件程序不幫助減少或控制半新的空間量。

它是難以相信的景色系統無法保留磁盤空間的一致的用法率和保留收縮的可利用的相當數量自由空間。 實際上,不合情理的小和收縮的自由空間的問題是一个頂面問題為窗口景色。 有增長的磁盤空間用法的各種各樣的可能的原因由景色。 使用以下技巧和把戲辨認和發現為什麼磁盤空間保留減少和收縮,過程或節目佔去巨額磁盤空間和如何解決低連續空間問題。

但注意某些技巧介入系統扭捏和優化。 景色使能并且打開這些過程和節目不,不用原因。 實際上,某些過程為被改進的系統速度是重要的。 因此,它是否在景色推薦在實施建議之前恢復和索還磁盤空間試驗設置最佳的衣服您的系統。

某些大磁盤空間佔領者是由以下過程和它伴生的文件:

hiberfil.sys冬眠文件

hiberfil.sys是在系統驅動的一份暗藏的系統文件,有相同大小以相當數量物理內存(RAM)。 hiberfil.sys用於存放系統內存狀態計算機進入冬眠方式,以便可以恢復最後使用的狀態,當計算機再時供給動力。 如果您不使用冬眠方式, 功能失效冬眠方式和刪除hiberfil.sys文件 將保存用戶幾十億字節空間。 如果hiberfil.sys仍然存在,在冬眠特點被關閉之後,您能安全地刪除文件。

pagefile.sys虛擬內存頁式文件

所有窗口操作系統的用途虛擬內存頁式文件為存放關鍵的系統數據,當用盡空間的物理內存(RAM)。 一般,窗口,包括景色默認情況下被設置系統被處理的頁式文件大小到1.5乘系統內存的大小,和根據系統用法自動地調整大小。 不幸地, pagefile.sys的大小一般得到越来越大。 為系統以大隨機存取存儲器,減少甚至刪除pagefile.sys文件是可能的。

For users with just 512 MB or 1 GB, it’s recommended to keep the system recommended virtual memory paging file. If you want to make more free space available in system drive (C:\), it’s possible to move the pagefile.sys to another drive, or set the maximum size for the pagefile.sys paging file, typically at 1.5 times the size of memory.

If your system has memory of 2G and above, it’s possible to turn off virtual memory and set no paging file at all. In fact, by doing so, Windows will probably run at faster speed. To do so, refer to guidi to manage, change or set paging file size in Vista.

Application and Program Cache of Superfetch Feature

Windows SuperFetch loads and caches user programs and startup applications into memory so that they will be launched faster. The prefetch is stored on hard disk, which can be deleted. To delete the prefetch cached by SuperFetch, delete all files inside “C:\Windows\prefetch” folder.

Temporary Files Created by Running Programs

Most temporary files is created and stored in “\Windows\Temp” folder or “Temp” directory under each and every user profile. To delete the temporary files, remove all files and folders under “C:\Windows\Temp” folder and “C:\Users\[logged on user name]\AppData\Local\Temp” folder.

Temporary Internet Files or Cache Stored by IE, FireFox and other Web Browsers

The temporary Internet files or cache can grow bigger and bigger over time. Deletion method differs by each different web browsers. For IE, go to “Internet Options”, delete delete “Temporary Internet Files” and “Cookies”. For Firefox, click on “Clear Private Data” and delete “Cache” and “Cookies”.

System Restore System Volume Information Folder

System Volume Information system folder, hidden in every disk drive, stores backup copy of data for system restore, known as Volume Shadow Copy in Windows Vista. Volume Shadow Copy uses snapshot method to record state of files at specific point of time and saves it as a restore point, automatically or manually.

There are reported issues that the data storage for System Restore and Shadow Copy grows beyond limit without bound, potentially causing hard disk to run out of space. Users can set or reduce that space limit that is used by System Restore and Shadow Copy to reclaim and recover the space. Or users can delete all old but latest restore points, or disable System Restore and Volume Shadow Copy if not using it. (Note: Will affect Previous Versions feature too.)

Backup Copy of Files Created by Vista SP1 or Other Updates

Some updates and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 backups original system files so that users can rollback or revert to original version when they uninstall the service pack or updates. Microsoft has prepared a tool to remove these backup RTM files after installing Service Pack 1.

Windows System System Logs and Event Logs Files

Windows Vista keeps several log files under the “\Windows\System32\LogFiles” folder. Delete the files and folders inside the “LogFiles” folder to save some disk space, albeit not many.

Other Log Files and Temporary Files

There are other temp files, log files and some other unneeded junk files created over the time by various application software. Use the Vista Junk Cleaner batch script to remove these unnecessary files. Users can even schedule the cleaning process to run automatically to the deletion.

Unused or Unneeded System Files and Preinstalled Files

The default installation of Windows Vista also includes lots of built-in freebies, files, programs and documents that users never need to use or want, such as default background wallpaper and video files. These files can be deleted and removed to further slim down the Vista and free up the disk space. But note that removal of some system files may cause system instability. To do this, see guide to recover space by slim down Vista.

    This statement is false:

    “If your system has memory of 2G and above, it’s possible to turn off virtual memory and set no paging file at all. In fact, by doing so, Windows will probably run at faster speed. To do so, refer to guidi to manage, change or set paging file size in Vista.”

    I’ll refer you to Mark Russinoviches “Windows Internals” chapter 7 on memory management.

    Hey guys : I was just reading your posting here and found out that I too have a Frigging Problem and it started a couple of days after I had received the system.

    My paging Ram is 2gb and I checked to see if my paging file is causing it to loose disk space and that came out to be false.

    I then thought could it be the hibernation file system so I went and configured my hiberfil.sys and said disable hibernation = true. I ran a disk clean up after than and it freed up about 25gb of free space…I was happy.

    I was suspecious that i can’t be that good to beat MS so I kept a log of what’s happening only to find out that I had lost 1gb of space the following day. Ignored it to find out that I had lost another gb of space in the next 45 mins.

    I am startled and out of speech. The solution to regain space i found out was to do a disk clean up and then enable the “clean up restore points” also before running your clean up.

    If you do a normal clean up, its not freeing up the space. I came to a conclusion that it has something to do with with the Restore Point.

    I have a 230GB Hard Drive but at times it even bottoms out at 150 or even 140. I go and clean the restore point via disk clean up and i get back that disk space I had lost.

    I want to know how to stop it from having to clean up the restore point.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this…looking forward for some good solutions.

    thanks once again.

    These are terrible tips. Many will reduce the supportability of the OS if problems occur. Many will cause problems of their own (Set no pagefile, turn off superfetch).

    Some demonstrate a utter lack of understanding of the OS.. You can’t disable virtual memory in windows. You are confusing virtual memory with a pagefile. They are not the same.

    I think you should stop giving advice. These are terrible tips and will mislead less experienced “power users”.
