In Shadow Explorer is an option 'configure system protection', which opens 'System Properties', 'system protection'. You can even get previous versions of the registry. Now, restore points are shadow copies and vice versa. It's a lot easier if you have multiple previous files to recover.
ShadowExplorer is a great program that allows you to access previous versions of files in all versions of Vista, 7, and 8. All versions create them, but not all versions allow you to use them. If you ever have need to get copies of files that have been deleted, that is what the "Previous Versions" is in the Properties of the files, if you have a high enough version of Windows. You can do that with cleanmgr.exe, and it will keep the last restore point. Everything worked as it should.īut, if you want to get more disk space back, then you need to delete restore points. The reason I didn't offer a solution is because I don't know what the problem is that you want to solve. They spare current shadow copies and do not create new files for every one that is deleted (moved, in the case of defraggers). Windows has it on all the time for its defragger. have VSS options (Volume Shadow Copy Service). Some defraggers, like the Windows one, Auslogics, Raxco, etc. no difference.Īny ideas on how to fix this as I cannot load new software now - says there is not enough room. They couldn't figure it out but suggested Utorrent may be grabbing HDD space so I uninstalled it. I rang the OS support for my Notebook Manufacturer and spent 1/2 a day trying different things including HD tune. Ran CCleaner's Registry cleaner - no difference. I've checked pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys and they haven't altered recently. My available storage only increased by 800MB and 600MB respectively after deleting the files, so for a file removal of 40Gig I get back 1.4gig of HD space. I cleared the Recycle Bin ran Disk error check (Scandisk) and defragged both drives.įolder Size & Treesize Pro both tell me I have 180GB & 100Gb respectively free versus Windows Explorer 5Gb & 6GB. I copied 30GB from the data drive and 10GB from the OS drive to an external drive and deleted the files from the notebook, using shift key/delete. I noticed in Windows Exploring that both drives were getting low on available storage (both <8GB). I run AVAST (paid version), Malware Bytes and unhackme and no viruses/trojans/rootkits discovered - I'm a stickler for security. One 500GB drive partitioned to an OS drive and a data drive. I'm running Windows 7 64bit on a notebook.
