Hi all,
I am running out of space on the system drive C drive: In particular, I have 11GB space originally on C, I thought it should been sufficient when I partitioned my harddisks a while ago. Now after taking a look, I found the breakdown is as follows, roughly: Documents and Settings: 4.5GB Windows: 4GB Program Files: 1.5GB Pagefile.sys: 1GB I guess I could not safely re-partition the drives to grab some space from other partitions to this C drive. But I guess I could relocate some files. I guess I cannot relocate Windows and Pagefile.sys; and it is going to relatively harder to relocate Program Files... But can I relocate "Documents and Settings" safely? In particular, I've found the following directory takes about 3GB space: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data More specifically, the Google Desktop Search silently occupied 1.5GB. I have tried to set my preferences, but amazingly Google Desktop Search does not even offer an option to change the location of their cache file from C drive to other places... And also under Applicaton Data folder, Outlook occupies 2.1GB-I have a lot of emails stored. I really want to relocate these documents safely, esp. Outlook Emails. But is there a way to do this safely? I am really worrying about if I do something wrong, then my whole email system will screw up... What can I do? Could you please help? Thanks a lot! |

I've successfully relocated the Outlook files to another drive and made about 2.1GB space on C drive. I am very happy about it. The OL did pop up window to prompt me to browse for new locations of the PST files. I pointed them to the new directions. So far so good. |

Hard drives can be had for less than $50 these days. Why not slap a second
one in your system and instead of "reallocating" whatever space you have, add more. Leave your programs where they are - move the other stuff. Photos, music, Word docs, spreadsheets, miscellaneous info - all of that can go on the second drive. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "networm" wrote in message ...

Because the 2.1GB under Documents and Settings was occupied by THE OUTLOOK.
And I think they are connected intimately. For safety, I want to ask for a complete picture and understanding, okay? "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ... networm wrote: But can I relocate "Documents and Settings" safely? How is this in any way an Outlook issue? -- Brian Tillman |
