Daiquirii Posted July 28, 2006 CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 i got a warning from my computer that I had less than 15% memory on my hard-drive. I had just wiped my system about a month ago, so I was in disbelief. I ran a defragment and this is what I saw 0_o then it said that there were these files that couldn't be defragmented: Fragments File Size Files that cannot be defragmented 5 4 MB System Volume Information_restore{248AB062-B090-4316-B5F1-714D2A1D3D84}RP40A0004716.exe 7 4 MB System Volume Information_restore{248AB062-B090-4316-B5F1-714D2A1D3D84}RP41A0004744.exe 8 4 MB System Volume Information_restore{248AB062-B090-4316-B5F1-714D2A1D3D84}RP42A0004754.exe 8 4 MB System Volume Information_restore{248AB062-B090-4316-B5F1-714D2A1D3D84}RP43A0004763.exe 7 4 MB System Volume Information_restore{248AB062-B090-4316-B5F1-714D2A1D3D84}RP44A0004771.exe 8 4 MB System Volume Information_restore{248AB062-B090-4316-B5F1-714D2A1D3D84}RP45A0004780.exe 2,033 40.26 GB Documents and Settingsthis is my userLocal SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5KL0ZOLUTswflash[1].cab I dont know what happened... I think it was part of the flash update I just installed. The file size was like 1 MB, and it fragmented to 40.26 GB. Has anything like this ever happened to any of you before? grrr...*kicks stupid old desktop computer* I'm going back to my pretty not stupid laptop so I dont have to put up with this slow piece of junk.

StingRayZ Posted July 28, 2006 CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 Never happened to me, but you might try deleting that flash update file or even completely empty your temp files and try to defrag again. That is weird it shows the flash file to be 40 gigs when it should be 1 meg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 28, 2006 CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 thats never happened to me eather, but i would try and delete that swflash[1].cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daiquirii Posted July 28, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 thanks, did that and I regained the memory, it was part of the installer, so I think its all set, no need to reinstall. I still think the amount of fragmentation is amazing though, its the most red I've ever seen in a defragment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted July 28, 2006 CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 Wow, that is a lot of [glow=red,2,300]RED[/glow] ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted July 28, 2006 CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 the stuff under _restore{248AB062-B090-4316-B5F1-714D2A1D3D84} they are just restore points, you can turn off system restore which will mean windows wont create a restore point every x amount of days, and u can delete some old restore points also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daiquirii Posted July 28, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 Once I had deleted the 40 gig file, I ran another defragment and it cleared up all the system restores. Now its all pretty and close together like it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
