When using the computer to the user quite often there is a problem when the system writes, "is not enough space on the C drive."In no case can not ignore this message, and in most cases will not notice it (even if there is such a desire).The appearance of this warning is due to clogging of the local drive C, and requires immediate intervention.
Sometimes a message about the fact that not enough disk space is due to irregular breakdown of sectors on the hard disk when a local disk is isolated too small.Very often such a situation arises, users of Windows 7 and higher, as they habitually leave a disc with a small volume, without taking into account the fact that the new systems require much more space.If Windows XP and programs lacked 30-40 GB, the new versions of the shell from Microsoft is advisable to double the number of otherwise often have to cope with the advent of the notice "is not enough space on the C drive."
If a system is allocated enough space, then it would be desirable to re install and redistribute the hard drive.As if this is not possible (for example, the office computer, which can not be "touched"), or the reason lies in the debris, there should be a series of actions to clean up.
First of all you need to clean the system of temporary files that create programs, browsers and itself Windows.For these purposes, you can install any of the available free software.Quite often, the amount of this "system of garbage" indecent reach large volumes, which provokes the appearance of the notice "insufficient disk space".
then carefully view the folder downloads, documents and desktop for old and already unnecessary files, images and so on. F. If in doubt, it is possible they are not removed, and, for example, move to another local drive,where more space.
If the above methods do not help, and the system still complains that not enough disk space, you will need to carefully check the installed programs.Some of them, such as Photoshop, occupy a lot of space and you can transfer them to another drive that does not affect their functioning, but frees space for disk C. In the case of detection of outdated and unnecessary programs, should get rid of them.
In order to eliminate the notice "insufficient disk space", you can perform some of the system, namely:
- turn off the sleep mode;
- move the paging file.
In sum, these two actions will give at least 4 GB of free space.To turn off sleep mode, it is necessary in the Control Panel, select "Power".They need to find "off the monitor settings."Then select the option "never", which is responsible for translating the computer to sleep.Then you need to open a command prompt (a combination of «Win + R») and register there «powercfg - h off», confirm the action by pressing «Enter».
to move the paging file should find the item "Speed", located in the properties of the system, which can be selected by right-clicking on the icon "My Computer".There is a tab "Advanced", which should open the "Options".Normally, the system is automatically configured to reserve space on drive C. The user also has to remove the disc.For this purpose it is necessary to select and set a confirmation in "No paging file" option, confirm the action by pressing the "Set".You can select a different drive and it set the swap file.For the changes to take effect, have to restart the computer.
