Wasted Memory in Virtual Store
"JIMMY O" wrote in message ... My 500G Hard Drive is almost full. I have 4 users in the home and each has duplicate memory saved in User/AppData/VirtualStore/Program Files. This duplication is eating up my memory. First of all some terminology and location corrections. You are NOT talking about "memory" you are talking about Hard Disk Storage space, and the location of that folder is C:\Users\{User Name}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files, not where you said it is. Secondly it would seem to me that those folders are where the User data for each of the programs there are stored. I need help to: 1) stop this duplication 2) safely remove the duplication Firstly I don't think you can stop this "duplication" except by not having different users, and secondly, on my machine that folder is taking up TEN MB ONLY. I suggest that your HDD is being filled up by something else. Try deleting all the Restore points (which will also remove the shadow copy files which can be huge) and see how much disk space that releases. -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s)
