I tried deleting my last microsoft account because it had an email I no longer had access to. I now have a new 'main' account on my windows 10 PC. But somehow the old account still exists and takes up a lot of space from my disk. I can't see the files of the old account in my explorer, so I can't delete them but they do take up disk space. As you can see in the pictures below, it says that nearly all 250 GB of my disk are used according to the explorer. But if I check how much actual disk space should be used with WinDirStat it only says I have files that are 91.4GB on my hard drive. Any tips would be welcome.
You say that you are using WinDirStat. You can use WinDirStat to remove the directories which take too much space. In case this does not work, you can launch WinDirStat as administrator: as an administrator you have access to all files on your computer (right-click and mention "Als Administrator uitvoeren").

I'm new to a company with a small network of computers (~10). We have a server (\\SERVER) that has multiple shared folders on it. The image below is a snapshot from file explorer. The bottom left shows "Network" and "server" appearing on the network. The shared files are also shown.
When I am logged into the SERVER (i.e. sit down at the actual computer acting as the server) with an administrator account, I can't find these shared folders anywhere. I suspect they reside somewhere on the C: drive (both the C: drive and the shared folders have the exact same size). My question is, where should I be able to find these folders on the computer SERVER?
I am definitely a noob to this type of thing. Perhaps I'm missing something fundamental. Either way, any help that could be offered would be very appreciated!
To view a list of all shared folders
Right-click Computer and choose Manage (Requires administrative
privileges)
Once opened, go to Computer Management > System
Tools > Shared Folders > Shares

Hey Any one please help me !! An unknown extra drive is shown in My Computer and when i tried to open it ... it says Access Denied .... I don't know from where it come from and when i checked it in Disk Management its not their. Please help me to remove that drive.
Below is the screen short of that Drive & Disk Management.
When I restarted my Windows system it's gone.
Remember: You should do a restart, not a shut down.
I think it's related to Windows updates.
I wonder if this could be that 100MB Windows Reserved EFI system partition that you somehow started displaying instead of it being hidden by default.

Is it 100% safe to move the pagefile.sys file from c: to another drive on Windows Server 2008? We are getting low on C: space and need to move it off, but not if there is any risk. This is a production web server and (other than a quick reboot) downtime is not acceptable, as you can imagine :)
I dont think this is a good place for such questions, its a programming related site,
I can give you a hint that this should be OK, It will even speed up you paging file, some reference below (I was actually reading it recently :) ):
http://lifehacker.com/5426041/understanding-the-windows-pagefile-and-why-you-shouldnt-disable-it
following part:
What you should actually do is move your pagefile to a completely
different physical drive to split up the workload.
but confirm it with some windows admin experts

System disk is runnig out of disk space.
Should I delete all .tmp files from windows directory?
Should I delete all $NtUninstall$ directories?
What else can I delete from system folders?
Basic things like temprary internet files etc have deleted, basic log files are deleted. All unused application have been removed.
If you don't plan to ever back down from any of the hotfix / service pack then yes. Just don't delete the software distribution folder \WINDOWS\$hf_mig$
You could also burn them to CD just in case.

Is it possible to limit a folder size in Windows so that when a user tries to write to the folder when it is full he receives an error message?
Keep in mind that Disk Quotas are per user not per folder, there are other solutions that will allow you to lock down a folder size regardless of user, my experience has been with Veritas Storage Exec, but it seems to be discontinued.
Do you mean disk quotas as described at, e.g. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Configuring-Disk-Quotas-Windows-2003.html?
Have a look at Quotas for NTFS file systems..
The Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Companion recommends using the File Server Resource Manager instead of the older "disk quota" feature since these allow per-directory settings. (I'm not familiar with this tool myself; after 5 mins of playing around with it, I still have no idea how to actually do this. There certainly is a column for "quota", however.)
Another trick is to create a new volume and then use a symbolic link (see MKLINK) to map the directory to that volume. (MKLINK is Vista/2008 and later; for XP/2003 use NTFS junctions.)
It depends on how limiting you want to be. :)
For example, it's not difficult to write a program that listens/monitors a folder and displays a message box error/warning in case the user exceeds his quota. But that doesn't prevent him from exceeding it - just notifies him he did so.
