Backup Error code: 0x81000019

WIN key | type Disk Cleanup | Enter key

Be sure to under the More Options tab, in the System Restore and Shadow Copies section to click on the Cleanup Button.


Another "trick":
WIN + E | in that long address bar at the top, type %temp% | ENTER key

Now use Ctrl + A to select all
Right-click on any selected file/folder and select DELETE

Let us know how much space this gets you.

socrgy,

For using Disk cleanup there is also a tutorial:
Disk Cleanup - Open and Use

i just did everything you guys said and still no change. only 37.7mb free and the option to "Extend Volume" is grayed out and won't let me select it.

more ideas?

I find it very unusual that those actions did not get you some more free space.

However, here are a couple of more things:
WIN | type cmd.exe | do NOT hit enter key | right-click on cmd.exe in the list shown | click on Run as Administrator

You are now at a command prompt.
Type POWERCFG - H OFF
hit Enter key
type EXIT
hit Enter key

Now SHUTDOWN your computer.

Turn you computer on.

What you just did is turn off hibernation, consequently, MS deleted the hibernate file.

You can always turn hibernate back on by using POWERCFG -H ON instead of the previous command.

You can also turn of the generation of a paging file which will decrease performance speed but will gain you more space.

After turning off powercfg and paging file, make a snippet of the output of DISKMGMT.MSC and include in your next post please.

To turn off paging file generation:
WIN + Pause/Break key | in the left-hand task pane, click on "Advanced system setting" |
in the PERFORMANCE section, click on SETTINGS |
ADVANCED tab | VIRTUAL MEMORY section | CHANGE button |
uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives |
click on the "NO PAGING FILE" radio button |
click on the SET button |
click on the YES button |
click on OK | click on OK | click on OK
Shutdown your computer
power on your computer.

You can always go back and let Windows automatically manage paging files which you should do after this problem is gone.

well, i'm not sure what you mean by "make a snippet," but i just got done with those last instructions and still no change.
