windofsoccer Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 hello. i know the hard drive's space drops down after a scan but i can follow the following procedures to free it up (below). mine went from 40+gb to 67gb after doing it. but then i did a second scan right after the procedure and the hard drive's space drops down again and i did the procedure again BUT this time the hard drive's space did not go back up to 67 and it remained at 58gb. can someone tell me what happened and how could i get the 10gb back? http://www.piriform.com/docs/defraggler/technical-information/windows-vista-and-volume-shadow-copies thanks michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Nergal Posted February 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2013 that won't get the space back, it'll make it so next time you don't lose the space. What operating system version (xp,vista,win7,win8)? If vista,7,8 to gain what you lost back you need to empty your vas http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/166102-shadow-copies-delete.html ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
