Large File To Image

Hello
I acknowledge all is on one drive.
Is the any evidence that there is more than One installation of Windows or, any reason for the large size of the image I am about to perform.?
I have 3GB's of restore points.
TY
Peter

 

No sign of any secondary Windows installation but have you checked the disk cleanup tool?

 

Thanks, satrow. I did and it is clean as is system files.

 

Peter, it isn't possible to read your screen shot. You need to use the Snipping Tool to grab just part of the screen.

 

I can read it with some difficulty (Ctrl++), any worse and I'd need to pixel-peep with these, they're within easy reach... the choice of display options in the forum software was wrong.

Peter, do you really want an image with ~4GB of Page/Hibernate files? You can remove them temporarily until you've created the image and restore them later. It does include a reboot, I hope Chrome doesn't kick back in then

 

I am already imaging as we speak but I will use that tool next time and thank you.
It's of bc as the sender I can see it.

 

Although the image is already done, I can still show the C:\ drive that contains that which is imaged.
I am doing this using the snipping tool as suggested and hope you can read it better.
My thinking is, I image everything I want to have when I have to recover. All I have to do is install one of the flash drives with my docs on it.

 

>>Hi satrow. I am not proficient enough to clear out what is not needed, that is why I tell Macrium to "image the disc in this PC." The other choice is to image the files needed to recover Windows.
It took 28 minutes to image and verify all which is not bad for 6 GB's ram. I have google TakeOut etc. in the image.

 

Here's my laptop's Win 10 partition peter, very similar in size to yours. I don't think you will get it much smaller than that other than by reducing the space allocated for restore points but if you really want a bird's eye view of what is using the space then get TreeSize Free

.

 

Thanks,Bernie. That's what I have been using. I hope it stays free bc I don't know of another way to clean the recycle bin on the external drives.
