Please, please help me -- Disk space?!?
« on: July 08, 2010, 09:24:09 AM »
My computer is telling me that it has 0 bytes free on its local C drive, which in itself doesn't really come as a surprise to me, since it's been quite full for a while. The thing is, that none of my programs run properly now -- I'm particularly worried about regaining my stickies ( :) ). I've been trying desperately to clear up space, but nothing seems to be working. I've removed several items, and deleted hundreds from the recycle bin -- yet nothing seems to work. No matter how much I delete or move to D, the C drive still reads 0 bytes free. What can/should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm really really bothered.  :'(

1) After you move the files be sure to empty the recycle bin
2) You can disable System Restore. This will free up a LOT of space. NOTE that you will no longer have any restore points.
3) If after doing the above you still have a problem you might want to check for malware. Run a full scan with BOTH your anti virus utility and MalwareBytes and/or go to the following link and follow all instructions: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html
