Solving development problems  |  About this blog

You can use WinDirStat to see what is filling your HDD…

You can find out that this folder can be really big – Schemas for Visual Studio 2008. We delete this folder and after restarting VS2008 some schemas rebuilded and we didn’t get any problems, but saved 10GB!

These folders can be cleare

• C:\Users\…\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ReflectedSchemas (Visual Studio 2008 xsd files)
  
• C:\Users\…\AppData\Local\Nikon\Capture NX\ThumbnailCache (if you use Nikon Capture programme you got with you digital camera)
• You can also turn hibernation feature by using command from DOS prompt (Run as Administrator): powercfg -h off and you can turn it on anytime by powercfg -h on

To correct this, open up the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt (or any command prompt and navigate to the location of the VS exe ‘devenv.exe’) and type the following command:

devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

Then open your LinqToSql file(s) (*.dbml) and save to trigger the code generator tool.  After that, you should hopefully be up and running once more.
