My C:// drive is full. What do I do??? I have tried everything!?

Alright well my C:// drive has been full for quite a while now, and everyday I get a pop up that my C:// is full. I have noticed a lack of speed on my computer, and many internet (not responding) errors. I have deleted many files, virius scanned, deleted temporary files, EVERYTHING! Its just too full. What do i do? I do have a D Drive that has plenty of space in it but it only says that C:// is low. Some programs that I install on D have to be installed on C:// to such as Photoshop CS3. It takes up space on both drives if installed on D://. Please help as soon as possible!

Make sure that your Recycle Bin is cleared. Open up explorer and right click the recycle bin and select "Empty."





You can also use disk cleanup by right clicking the C drive.
Reply:defrag your hard drive
Reply:Sounds like it's time to upgrade to an external hard drive. They are plug-and-play much like an oversized flash drive.





You can burn as much as 8.5 gigs of info to a DVD+RL disc but economy version is to upgrade to lose some info.
Reply:why don't u merge d drive with c! but i think you might need to wipe c i don't know but you should look it up if you merge d and c they both become one drive and then there would be more space!
Reply:programs take up less space if installed on D:


ok


open My Computer


enter this in the address bar


C:\Documents and Settings\


Click your user account folder


enter My Documents


basically EVERYTHING in there can be copied to D:\ safely


so drag it into the D drive (open a new mycomputer window and hit D:\_then Ctrl+A in my Documents and drag into the D:\ window)


and uninstall programs that you don't need unless they're ABSOLUTELY necessary.





Then download and install ccleaner and open/run it a couple times. On some runs it removed over 8GB of extra files/temp files on my computer (though I only shut down once a month or so).


And afterwards, right click C:\ then hit properties-%26gt;tools -%26gt; defragment and run the defragmenter on C:\ a couple times


and btw, hard drives are cheap now days, you can get another one for very little. Saw a 500GB SATA/IDE drive for $75USD the other day.





And NEVER EVER do those things to expand your C drive into D space. Even a slight error will permanently damage BOTH your C and D partitions. Also remember they don't work if C is a different drive then D. Merging/expanding C wont work unless you use partitions...
Reply:Get Partition Magic (unless you have Vista) and change the size of the partitons (assuming they are the same drive).Vista has this feature built in.





If you have two drives, make sure your personal files are being saved on drive D. Make sure to defragment the drive.
Reply:Try changing the size of the drives by going to Run, type in diskmgmt.msc and hit OK. This will bring up your disk configuration, and if "D" has space on it, you may be able to stretch out "C" and decrease the size of "D".
Reply:Try deleting some stuff that takes CDs.


Got it?


Ok.
