Windows folder taking up too much space?

Only 35.8GB is free from the actual size 280 GB ?

I think your C drive size is about 60GB and the rest of the actual capacity is divided into another partitions.
If this is correct, then you have to resize your C drive to at least 100GB to avoid any issues.
Because you'll need that amount of size for the windows system, installed programs, paging files, system restore points, windows updates and so on. Windows 7 files could take up to 25GB (Without the System Restore Checkpoints). Don't forget that number will increase with your installed programs and files.

and surely if you're using Windows 7 64-bit, then you'll experience a large size of windows files.


About the "winsxs" folder,
this is the main folder for the windows updates.
Windows use this folder to save the downloaded updates and install it, and you can't clean it all, because it's a system file related.

But you can use Disk cleanup to clean any installed updates backup have been saved under that directory.

Just click on "Start", Then in the search bar type "Disk cleanup",
Open it, then do a clean on C drive, wait for the results,

On the results window,
look for (Service Pack Backup Files), if is it larger than 0KB, tick it and click OK.
the tool will clean every removable backups.
This should decrease the usage a little bit.

Also use CCleaner to clean your computer, and uninstall any unwanted program.

What is GitHub for a beginner and how do I get started with it?

I'll give you an example from one of my personal projects.A couple of my friends and I had worked were working on a multiplayer typing race game, something like typeracer.com. We had never created a Graphical User Interface (GUI). So we used to experiment with different functions and before experimenting, we used to keep a backup of the old file.After a couple of weeks, we had 10 files out of which only 1 was useful in the end product. The filenames were like:- file_v1_0, file_v1_1, file_v1_2, file_v1_3, ..., file_v2, ...So basically, we were sort of trying to perform version control in a very naive way :)Github will help you perform version control in a very sophisticated manner. You can make changes to files and roll back to previous versions whenever you want.If you want to keep making changes to a file and include it in a project only when it is working in a stable manner, you can do that by creating a new branch and making all the changes there. When you think your branch is ready and stable, you can merge the changes of this new branch to your original source.Hence, Github reduces redundancy in version control and helps you to keep your project folder clean and well-managed, and allows rolling back to previous versions flexibly :)Not just that, Github also makes it easy for several people working on a project to collaborate and make all their changes to a common repository.To try/learn some github basics, check out this link - http://try.github.com/To create your own github.io page, follow the steps mentioned here - https://pages.github.com/

How will you empty the trash in HDFS?

The Hadoop trash feature helps prevent accidental deletion of files and directories. When you delete a file in HDFS, the file is not immediately expelled from HDFS. Deleted files are first moved to the /user//.Trash/Current directory, with their original filesystem path being preserved. After a user-configurable period of time (fs.trash.interval), a process known as trash checkpointing renames the Current directory to the current timestamp, that is, /user//.Trash/. The checkpointing process also checks the rest of the .Trash directory for any existing timestamp directories and removes them from HDFS permanently. You can restore files and directories in the trash simply by moving them to a location outside the .Trash directory.

Why is git add and git commit taking so long?

I had this problem. I accidentally committed a large file (over the current ~August 2013 100MB git limit on a single file) and then it would kill all future commits because git claimed there was a very large file there, even after I removed it! So the solution is to use `git filter-branch` which will search through all commits you have ever made, and remove the offending file.To COMPLETELY remove it from your repo, do:git filter-branch --force --index-filter \  'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch *.sqlite3' \   --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all
