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

69 GB is still loads, but put in a microSD card int the slot and move your photos and music if you have lots on....they access just fine from it...maybe video would too, but I don't store them, so can't say. 64GB card works great with the S-7.

I kept all pictures, documents, downloads, and other data on the old hard drive. Used the SSD as boot drive for operating sytem and all programs (118 GB) -- it was only a 256 GB drive and all my other data was 203 GB.

if you plug it in to use port and it says 4 gig. then reformmating wont help. oppen my computor and right click on the removabe disk it will tell what you how much free space there and a used space add them together it will give you total.(but sounds like to me you got the wrong flash drive)

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

I have a 250 GB hard disk, and less than 50 GB are taken by system stuff (windows etc.)

I removed the 500G drive (it was 7200 RPM, BTW) and replaced it with a 250G SSD. Because of the fixed position of the disk connector a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter doesn't fit. I just plugged the SSD in and secured it with a couple pieces of tape. Since it lies flat, it's not going anywhere. I loaded a pre-release copy of Windows 10 on the SSD and have been running it for a couple months. Not a gaming rig, but a good general purpose unit. Boots fast, very stable. When Win. 10 is released I'll put the 500G disk back and run the upgrade so I'll have a genuine licensed copy.

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.

Only 128 GB is usable. The rest was wasted on OS junk no one needs. Thanks.

Yes, Windows takes a lot of space. There's about 11 GB left free out of the box with the 32 GB model. You can get 5 GB more free space by deleting the recovery partition (after making one or more flash drive copies!); it's very simple, with an app already set up to do it in the "all apps" view. You can get another 1.6 GB by disabling hibernate mode (Google for it if you're interested), which doesn't really cost you anything since hibernate is not available anyway. You can also add a micro-SD card with up to 64 GB of storage (it's drive D:) and put all your heavy applications and data there. Yes, you can use a mouse and keyboard -- either Bluetooth or, if you buy a USB OTG (On-the-Go) adapter for a couple of bucks, via USB. You just can't charge the tablet and use USB peripherals at the same time, since the USB port is used for both and even with a splitter cable the Encore only does one or the other at a time.

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.

Im not sure on the specs. But i think you have to have a 7mm(height) big SSD 2.5". I just looked up my HDD and it is 7MM so make sure its not 9mm. (most are 9mm, but you need slimmer for acer 7mm)

Turn your tablet on and click on settings. Then click on "Storage" on the drop down menu.In the right hand list, it should show the "Total Space". I think that is what is left. There is also a heading of: "Available" storage.

After Formatting it and the OS takes almost 11% of the formatted Drive... 806GB is Available of the 1TB ,which in my opinion it's still a lot, can't really say on the 500GB though

After installing all my apps I have 10.7 GB free. OneDrive is now 15 GB free, so I don't have any issue with space

It has a 24GB SSD drive. BTW,one problem that has developed is a habit of spontaneously shutting down right now, like if you hold down the power button. The problem isn't with power supply or overheating, and it's happening with greater frequency. It's happened theree times in the last two weeks, usually shortly after I wake it up. Very annoying.

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

You are correct. Mine was split into a C and D drive, each with around 72 GB of free space. After you turn your N120 on, you have pop-ups from Samsung come up regarding their "Samsung Recovery Solution" and according to other reviews I've read, it is during this that you are given the opportunity to resize the two hard drives. What I read was that you will find 2 sliding bars which you will use to increase or decrease the two drives. You will have the 2 drives no matter what, your only option is how much "space" to give them. I am not very computer savvy and clicked thru these pop-ups as best as possible with out really unhderstanding them and wound up with 2 drives of 72 GB each. And I'm now told that if I want to change this I have to buy some software program designed to let you resize your drives and that I can no longer change it just with what I already own. This ticked me off to no end as all this "Samsung Recovery Solution" stuff comes up before you can get a look at the instruction/tutorial for the unit which is on the desktop of your unit. I was sorely tempted to say the unit was damaged and send it back for a new one just so I could avoid this now that I knew what to do with those pop-ups. This will pop up when you do the auto start registration of your unit. They really need a better paper, hard copy of the instructions/tutorial regarding the beginning stuff you come across after you turn your unit on. BTW, the above info regarding the sliding scales you use to determine your HD space is all 2nd to me from others in other reviews and from what I assumed when finally reading the tutorial...it is nothing I have seen first hand. I hope it all turns out ok for you, BC
