Windows 7 BETA: Disk usage
So far I am happy with disk usage.
I have a 20GB partition on my C: drive.
- The windows directory currently is using almost 8GB of space.
- I had to turn off hibernation to recover 2.5GB of space (Run CMD as administrator, then type “powercfg -H off”)
- The computer automatically configures the pagefile at over 3GB since I have 3GB of RAM. I can tune that down if I need to reclaim more space.
- When I installed iTunes I accidentally moved my music (~4GB) back into my profile. I moved this back to another partition.
- I moved my outlook OST file (was 4GB on my Vista machine) to another partition as well.
Currently have more than 8GB free. Let’s see how that holds up.
