data management

I am trying to view the backups of my Lumia 640 on OneDrive. When I login to the site it says 7.52GB out of 5GB used (???) but shows an empty folder. Are the backups hidden? Is there a way to reveal them?

Since new my Samsung R540 laptop has had two partitions, C for programs and D for data. I decided to replace the (slow) HDD with a SSD, and in the cloning process somehow everything was put into one partition. Is there any advantage in having separate partitions for programs and data?

Assume I exported the current events into an external *.evtx log file. Afterwards I cleaned all active event log entries. However it could be that I want to re-check some particular events from the past (=from the exported event logfile). For´better view I would like to import them again into...

Hey, couple of quick questions here. So, I have my Windows installed on C drive, as well as a few other things, and I don't install other things there because it is quite full, only half a gig space left. I was recently using WMM and it gave me messages that C drive was almost out of space, and...

I have downloaded some movies to a thumb drive the last couple months and notice my hard drive space is decreasing quickly even though the download is going to an exterior flash drive. Is there a temporary memory place somewhere on my hard drive storing this data? I want to delete it if so.

A couple of weeks ago I got a message that I had virtually no space on my C drive (3 x 40GB SSD in RAID 0). This was a big surprise. I am running Windows 7 PRO. I removed some restore points to get back to 7 GB of free space. I then did a disk cleanup to get to 11 GB. Since then, the free...
