advance systemcare wont remove

[Mike Connor]

ive uninstalled it. but ccleaner only deletes all but 1 of restore points. should i delete them from system properties where u configure syst restore? then run ccleaner?

It doesn't really matter right now as you have backups and are about to change the system anyway.

You can switch it off if you want, this will disable system restore and remove all restore points.

Once you have done that, have a look at your partitions again.

alright chap.
ive deleted restore points. ive managed to get it down to 34.50GB. i think ive foud all the files i think. some of them r installers and drivers that have been downloaded... is it ok to delete these using the clean option at the top left. delete(cant b undeleted) or send to the recycle bin. sorry again lol. nearly there
edit forgot to add pic lol

 

[Mike Connor]

You have managed to gain over 50GB by deleting the old stuff so far. You could just leave it at that for now, but if you are sure that these are merely installers etc, then by all means delete them.

Post again when you have done that, and have your partition manager running.

I have just installed another disc in this machine so that I can do a step by step for you.

I will post a screen shot of every step as we go through it. If anything is unclear at any step, wait until you see the screenshot before continuing, and if still unclear, ASK!

This is the start screen;

This is the partition we want to resize;




As you can see this partition C: contains the Boot partition, and has 902.81 GBytes of unused space.

We want to retain at least 50 Gbytes for the Boot partition.

i can tell u the folders and files. wen i download any programs i always leave them in my downloads folder and install from there.ill make a seperate folder or somethin nxt time. the ones that are showing up(in the attached pic) are, nvidia chipset driver, avast installer, ati graphic card driver,todo backup,epm installer, there was loads of thumbnail caches and backups from programs in the virtual store. thats pretty much all it is. ive got it down to 29.57GB and stopped as u said leave it now. shall i just delete those installers and stuff then as i hav it backed up?

i have the partitian program running
lol
reduce to 5000mb?

 

[Mike Connor]

( I have a slightly older version of partition manager on this disc, so the pictures are not identical to your version, but they should suffice. If not, then ask).

OK. I have resized the Boot partition by selecting "Resize/move Partition" and then moved the slider to about 50GBytes, and rebooted the machine. This is the result;



Disk 1 = C: now has the system reserved partition of 100.00 MB

The boot partition of roughly 50 Gbytes,

and 882.91 GBytes of unallocated space;

If you are happy with that, ( you can delete other stuff later if you want),
yes, you can go for it....................

ive done it to just over 56GB. id didnt c the slider at first lol i was tring 2 do it with txt at first lol

 

[Mike Connor]

I have now clicked on the "unallocated" space, and on "Create Partition", I then just accepted the defaults in the box, and clicked "OK"





This results in;



Now I just need to click "Apply". I get the confirmation box;




Click on "Yes".................

The partition is created and....



That's it! You're done.

You can now keep all your data etc on this partition, and leave the Boot partition for the system.

Hope everything went well for you..........

If you now look at "Computer", in Explorer, you will see the results;

sleep me thinks. then crack on with replacing files

My pleasure, glad to hear you enjoyed it and it was successful. One learns a great deal by actually doing these things, which one would not learn easily by simply reading about them, or hearing them described.

Pleasant dreams, and happy file shoveling!

sorry chap. just 1 more thing. r my libraries automatically moved? is E drive thier default now?

You have not changed any defaults. C: is still your system drive, and it is the drive which programs and other stuff will be automatically installed to.

The only difference to your machine is that you now have a system partition, and a data partition. Separate from each other.

Because your system drive now only basically has the system on it, you can image it very quickly.

You can add folders from your data partition to your libraries. The libraries are merely data indices, not physical data, it doesn't matter where the data is, the library will point to it.

You can also install programs on your data partition if you want to and the program allows it. Some programs have to be installed on C:
