Remove Applications Even Space Is Zero Mega Byte
Aug 17, 2008
I have been receiving a low disk space message, it suggests cleaning up and removing files. Now I am receiving a 0MM free disk space messgae, suggests the same, but it will not allow me to remove anything, it says, ironically because there is no disk space. I am not sure how or why this has happened. I added a new 1gb memory card a month or so ago and have not added any new programs, I also bought a portable hard drive, but I am not sure how that all works. I just want to clean out/clean up my laptop and still keep the things I need.

I also am having an issue with 100% of CPU usage being used. I have years of backups from using Registry First Aid and wondered if I can delete these. Maybe I should not have it checked to create a back up each time it is run? Also should I run a hijack this report because of CPU usage or are they even related. If someone could send me a link to a list of programs that need to be running maybe I can shut some of them down.

I've searched in a lot of different places for help and have had no luck. It's almost ironic. I know a lot about computers and have both searched this forum, other forums and random pages through Google. No luck.I installed the Messenger Program Trillian to a Jump Drive. A Memorex 1Gig to be exact. (And, no, this is not a program specific error. I'm getting there.) Well, I finally decided to get rid of it and having neglected to create registry keys for installing to a removable drive such as this, as is my custom, I proceeded to select folder "Trillian" and hit delete.

I'm using Windows XP. The 18Gig drive in my laptop is almost full & I need more space. There are almost 2 Gigs in my Documents and Settings (D&S) folder. I do not have any other users but years ago I did setup for two users. I have eliminated the other user but I still have Administrator, users and other settings in D&S folder. Can I combine them into a single folder and eliminate a lot of unneeded files. How do I decide the ones I need and the ones I can get rid of? Please don't tell me to format the drive and start over I just purchased a 100Gig external USB drive and moved all my data files but I would like to free up more space to record audio files. I have used XP resources to eliminate files and have painstakingly looked at each folder and eliminated where I could.

As default Windows creates a file (c:hiberfil.sys) to save the complete memory if you hibernate. It is the same size as your memory eg. if you have 2GB Ram, windows will create a 2GB file!. If you don't use hibernate,You can remove the file by doing the following: 1. Go to Settings / Control Panel / Power Options 2. Click Hibernate and uncheck Enable Hibernation 3. Click Apply and you have gained some Hard Disk Space.

My system (WinXPSP2) generates 0 byte files for some reason. The files are associated with other MS Office or PDF files and prohibit the associated file and the 0 byte file from being moved, copied, or deleted. Frequently, the MS Office or PDF file that is associated with these 0 byte files is corrupted and unreadable; other times they are not. There is apparently no virus per NIS 2008. Some of these files are opened and used frequently and others have not been used in months. I am looking for suggestions concerning the possible cause(s) and solutions. I have been able to delete these 0 byte files with Unlocker. These files interfere with backups and file maintenance.

I was converting several video files from .avi to .wmv and I came across problems with some of them. Those that were unable to be converted ended up with 0 bytes and if I click on it, it shuts down "my compter" folder completely. How do I get rid of these? I am unable to change my views to thumbnails. I don't find it much of a problem if the files are plainly on my c: drive but when they are within a folder, I can't change the view or get rid of those files.

I create a new Restore Point each month as I start my monthly maintenance sequence and also SpyBot seems to create one. I see by the Restore Point calendar that there seems to be a Restore Point for each day in October. I'm curious as to what process is creating these Restore Points but mainly I'm wondering how to delete some (most) of them. Aren't they consuming a humongous ammount of disk space?

The problem I'm having is, every week I do a scan disk and defrag. I've noticed that once defraged since a few weeks ago I HAVE GONE from over 70% free space down to only under 40%....I don't run any major software at the moment BUTDO use the internet on ADSL most days BUT not to any great extent. The only connection I can c is this copying Dig pix straight to disc...Am I right or is there sumthing else going on

i wanted to copy a cd image 4.18GB ISO format from partition F: NTFS 9GB free to partition D: (FAT32 12GB free space) and windows gives me that crap there is not enough space and i should do a disk clean up.
I made a disk clean up to partition D: and there was 3GB of system restore files!!! maybe coz i deleted 6GB earlier anyway i deleted the system restore files
Only NTFS partions can have files with file size more than 4GB..i hope theres nothing wrong with my windows or my hard disk..and i wanna know if theres a way to move that ISO image..thanx in advance.

I've noticed sometimes that the Free Space on my harddrives won't reflect changes I've made. For example, on my 28.6gb F: drive, I had about 586mb free. I just deleted a video file of about 700 mb, so it should be up to about 1.2 gb. Oddly enough, its still at 586mb.

I recently noticed that my free space on hard drive has been eroded and my used space has been increasing. I have not added any software. Much to my dismay I cannot figure out why this would occur. We did make recovery disks and removed our partition some weeks ago. It seems our C drive is using up space without any explanation. Ran many different anti virus and spyware software and they did not detect anything.

Are pricey add-ons like Win DVD7 Platinum or Power DVD 7 significantlty better than the HP DVD Player or Media Center. This is a new HP Media Center PC with DVI and Digital Audio. The display is a 30" hi-def monitor/TV combo and the audio runs through a 1000 watt Pioneer Home Theatre.

Recently, all of my applications which need some kind of Internet survice have just altogether stopped working. The router I have works perfectly fine and has been since I got it in November. It's just that every time I click on Mozilla, AIM, AIM Triton, or even Internet Expolorer nothing happens. I have tried right clicking too. Everything else on the computer works EXCEPT for those applications. I checked and the router is secured and working.

I installed the Eset NOD32 3.0 antivirus, I wanted to remove it. I couldn't remove it on a conventional way, using the add/remove tool, so I removed it from my windows startup list, and then physically removed the folder from my HDD, and then used PC Tools Registry Mechanic thinking that it would do the trick,but it didn't. I tried various registry cleaning programs, but I just can't find it in the lists.

I recently installed Mcafee. I defraged my computer and restarted it. When it loaded up I noticed that everything is taking 2x as long to load and it is taking long time to even get the start button list up. I was able to get into the add/remove program list but nothing was there. I waited for about 10 minutes and then nothing still, I don't know any other way to remove McAfee, how to remove McAfee, add/remove program list won't work here.

I have tried previously to uninstall my HP Officejet G85 printer from HP Pavilion a1130n running XP Media. There is no Change/Remove button in Add/Remove Programs but the program is there, 150 MB, and the file suggested on the HP website for uninstalling older printers from XP produces a message that it's "unsupported" can't remember exact verbiage, been a while since last tried. Even reinstalled in the hopes that a message would come up to the effect "this program is already installed, do you want install to remove it prior to completing this install," but it just installs the printer again with a number after it ... I'm up to "hp officejet g series - 3."

My laptop is missing lots of programs under Add/Remove Programs that I know are installed. Furthermore, some that are listed don't have the Remove button next to it. The missing programs aren't listed in the Uninstall registry key and I'm confident there are not viruses on the machine.

"Change/Remove" button is missing for ALL installed programs. If I install a new program, it appears, but for all apps installed previously - it is gone.

The majority of the applications listed in the Add/Remove Programs menu of the Control Panel no longer have the Change and/or Remove buttons visible. Is there any way I can restore these without having to do something evil like a restore?

I recently uninstalled Windows SP3 RC1 from my computer and reverted back to Windows SP2 through the use of Projekt (Project) Dakota. Before uninstallation though, one of my siblings had run this script to update to Windows SP3 RC2. I do not want to install the newest RC2, as I'm now waiting for a final release. I changed my Windows Update Settings to download but to not install, as it was already downloaded from yesterday. Is there anyway to remove the already downloaded but not installed update for Windows SP3 RC2, and is there anyway to remove the script (that tells the computer to download SP3 RC2?)
