The green area on the bottom is probably the page file. But what is the big blue area on the right. And also the few big purple areas.
Open the upper pane a bit more and then click on the big color areas. Then it will tell you in the upper pane what they are.
This 12.9GB file is an installation file (wim). I would delete it. You can do that in WinDirStat by right clicking on it.
You did not say what the 2 green files and the purple ones are. It's hard to tell from the pic.
Done. I got rid of both the 12 GB WIM file and turned off hibernation and got rid of the hiberfile. I'm still curious though as to where the rest of my memory is going...I still have 200 GB not accounted for....
I see that the text file, VLC file and Font collection take up well over a gig, not too mention your email and Vmachine, application files and local disk take up quote a bit of space as well. It looks like aside from the WIM file, you may need to do some spring cleaning as a lot of little things seem to be adding up. How many external drives to you use? Perhaps RAID may be in your future if you cannot delete many of these items, but want/need space
Yeah, I've deleted 1 GB's worth of emails to make some space. I use my virtual machine (for the XP Mode) but I may get rid of it to save some space. I'll be checking into the VLC file and other stuff on my local disk...Hopefully I can clear up a stable amount of space.
I have an 700 MB external had drive which I've backed all of my music, files, and other various things onto.
That's a lot and it did not really show in WinDirStat nor in vssadmin. Are you sure it is that much. Did you check in disk management what the free space really is.
Here's a quick screen shot:That's a lot and it did not really show in WinDirStat nor in vssadmin. Are you sure it is that much. Did you check in disk management what the free space really is.
