PC Disk Storage Space Maintenance
Check PC disk space once a month. It is recommended that there is at least 50 GB of free space available.
To check the PC for Disk Storage Space:
1. Bring up Windows OS File Explorer by simultaneously pressing the Windows key and E key.
2. Click on the computer icon on the left panel. The right panel will show the disk usage. Verify that
there is at least 50 GB available.
To Clear Disk Storage Space on the PC:
If there is less than 50 GB of free disk space available on the PC, data must be deleted to create storage
space. The backup folder contains backup copies of working data. Remove files that are older than
several months old from the backup folder.
1. Connect an external drive to the PC.
2. Browse to the following location – C:Desktop/vector/AppData/Local/Bioness/Vector/Backups folder
3. Open the Backups folder and sort the folder based on date by clicking on the "Date modified"
column heading.
4. Select the files to back up.
5. Right-click on the selected files and select "Cut" menu item.
6. Browse to the external drive folder, and right-click and select "Paste" menu item.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for other folders that may have grown, such as .csv exports from the Vector
software application.
