cmd prompt isn't a disk cleanup. Disk cleanup just erases a bunch of trivial stuff you don't use often.

oh no no, I did a disk cleanup after the cmd prompt and noticed that the gbs went up two more? is it normal..that the number changes?

DAISHI · 08/01/2011, 12:39 am

Yes, because Disk Cleanup deletes stuff on your hard drive.

vssadmin resize shadowstorage /for=c: /on=c: /maxsize=5GB and my max space is 5gb...is this ok?

DAISHI · 08/01/2011, 10:13 pm

Don't reduce your shadowstorage. You're fine.

DAISHI · 08/01/2011, 10:59 pm

huh but the other day my Gigabytes were 1 by 1 missing until I did this?

DAISHI · 08/01/2011, 11:15 pm

All it does is handle your backup data.

Am I missing something here? Having 871 GB is still a lot of free space. I'm not sure what you're worried about.

RetroVortex · 08/02/2011, 05:33 am

I only have 60gb left on my 500gb harddrive! XD

(Need to move some stuff to my external 1.5tb)

DAISHI · 08/02/2011, 07:53 am

Yeah I'm running and external 2, another external 1 and a 500 G for music.

And yeah Chyron, that was also my unspoken response XD

oh im sorry, I had a problem that my Gbs were disappearing everyday for no reason..I don't know if it was from me adding to manual restore points or what so I did a cmd to put the max size Shadow page, my full capacity HD is 916GB

DAISHI · 08/02/2011, 10:58 am

The difference between restore points is minimal, so I wouldn't worry about it too much from that end. It is a bit curious but you may want to track down differences in folder size on a day to day period. Usually space is getting eaten up your Program Files or your Documents, and you can track down the specific space usage from there.
