How do i delete (resize) SYSTEM IMAGE? It has 42gb for God sake ;O
Backup User and System Files - Delete Backups
Create System Image - Enable or Disable
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...ackup-settings
In addition to the information that I have provided above
Go to desktop computer icon, right click
properties
system protection
configure
I have deleted all the backups (about 14 GB),turned off create system image, but still, my image has 28.20 GB left, and i can't see any folder or have any idea where are they.
Anyway, thanks for helping me so far richc46 you've helped me alot.
If i make another backup and try to delete after would work? ( I ask because i don't want to loose some more space :) ) ( I mean once I delete the backup that i will make, i'll get my GB back or not)
I appologize for my English but is not my native language, I try to do my best.
You may have those back ups in a separate partition. Deleting them is only half the battle, reduce the partition size, too.
Use Windirstat or some other software to see just what makes up your drive.
TY, this is getting exciting even the new members know. Im having a double blast. They are celebrating in Vista, too.
I dont know if this works for 7 but i know i used this method on vista it was a pain in the you know what my space was being eattin worst then pac-man eatting the ghosts let me know if this does you any justice Is Vista Eating Up Your Hard Drive Space? | Live Slick
HAPPY BIG BIRTHDAY RICHC46 MAY YOU HAVE THE GREATEST OF DAYS ON YOU'RE SPECIAL DAY
Thanks for the birthday wish, truly appreciated.
Now back to business, I found this which should help
System Restore - disk space - Vista Forums
Works the same in Windows 7
@Richc46 I think that link i posted is the same thing it describes a shadow drive or ghost drive that it stores system files on as well
To check how much space is being used, go to command prompt with administrator privileges:
This saved me more than 10 gigabytes, which I can use to store more essential files on the
- Click Start - All Programs - Accessories. Right click on ‘Command Prompt’ and click ‘Run as Administrator’.
- Type the following in the command prompt:vssadmin list shadowstorage The results shown will be similar to this: Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.702 GB
Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.933 GB
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 5 GB- If you feel like Vista is taking up too much space, then use this command to lower it:vssadmin resize shadowstorage /On=[Drive Letter]: /For=[Drive Letter]: /Maxsize=[space]For example, I executed this command to lower it to 2GB: vssadmin resize shadowstorage /On=C: /For=C: /Maxsize=2GB
