How to free up more space? I just 11.6 inch Acer Aspire S7 with 128 GB SSD. But my drive says only "69 GB free of 104 GB" even after I Disk Cleanup

Ok those left over gb is always gonna be there. Let's just say that's the size of the computers brain. If u delete em, ur computer is done.

I put my media on micro sd cards which are pretty crazy cheap now. The unaccounted for space is in system partitions.

If you are running the default windows install, it has another partition of about 24GB for recovery and swap and things like that, so that's your 104GB. The rest of the 35GB I assume is all the files that windows needs to work, all the applications and overhead. Don't forget there is a microsd slot, that's another 64GB for $50.

Your best bet is to get a MicroSD card, with a capacity up to 64 GB. Just insert it into your S7 and leave it there, effectively doubling your available disk space. That MicroSD slot is just a wonderful hidden secret in the S7.

My suggestion would be to reduce the size of the paging file (your computer is probably using hard drive space as temporary RAM). You have 1 Gig, so you shouldn't need more. Just go to control panel and find "system." (You might want to switch to classic view to find it faster.) Click "advanced" and then click "settings" under "Performance." Click the second tab there, "Advanced" and then there's a bit at the bottom labeled "Virtual memory." It'll say how much your machine is using. Click "change." Make sure the C drive is selected, then put in number in the custom size fields (initial and max); 50 or 100 should be fine. Make sure to click "set" and then "OK" and you're done. This happened to me on my eee and I couldn't figure out how I kept running low on disk space when I don't save anything on the C drive, until I discovered this resources hog. Again, since this machine comes with 12 Gigs of RAM, you shouldn't really need to waste harddrive space supplementing that. (If you want more RAM, go spend $25 at Circuit City for another 1 gig stick.) Good luck, I hope that resolves the problem. :) You can also search the forums at eeeuser.com for more tips on slimming your Windows down and getting rid of programs you don't need and such.

Hello. It will vary. You should probably see about 230GB usable remaining space give or take after the install of Windows 7.

If you send a request to support at MSI they can forward a pic of this laptop with the bottom removed. They highlight the mounting areas where the new drives install. It uses msata drives for the space savings. They are about 1/3d the size of a cased SSD.

I have no idea, I have the 500 GB HDD version, not the lower storage capacity SSD version.

500 GB HDD - Don't ask me what that means. I hope that is the question you are asking. It is on the sticker on the inside of the machine. We both love our Acers and the windows 7

My HP laptop came with a 750gb hdd and I have no problems clonning the disc to the new SSD. I used the Acronis version that came with the SSD and the original disc had only 35gb used

There isn't that much space you can free up. I recommend that you store all non essential files on an external drive of get a micro SD card which can give you up to 64GB extra space.

You cant, the drive is a cheap scam. The chip in it tells your computer it has 256gb of storage but in reality it probably has less than 1gb. This scam is successful because most people wont return this and just figure it a loss.

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

The Samsung Magician software reserves 10% for over provisioning which is to improve lifespan and performance of the drive. With formatting and over provisioning of a 500 Gb drive, I have 419 Gb free.

I just installed a new win7 os no problems at all. Then reattached my old drive and removed what I wanted , formatted it and store pictures and large programs on it. I am just sorry I did not buy a bigger SSD.

After installing the drive in my ps4, there is 862gb of usable space. Hope that helps.

It says 500 GB HDD. I don't know what that means so I hope that helps. We both have Acers and love the 17 inch screen and the graphics. we also enjoy windows 7.

I noticed that the hard disk sizes were somewhat different as I looked at different systems. I chose one with a 750 gig hard disk. Plenty of free space.

Hi. Do you know if you can add hard drive space? Like attach an external hard drive for more space?

I've been using 120gb with another 120gb as extra storage. I therefore think 500gb is ample, especially if you can always get external storage later for backup. I run windows8.1.
