I am dangerously low on disc space what can I do?

Question

Besides deleting programs I don't use, is there another way like buying a bigger space disc drive, also what can I buy for my games and other stuff not to take so long to load and stop lagging?

Answer 1

My BEST solution to this question would be to download CCleaner and run it. You may have so many temp files or corrupted files hogging space.

Also, running a "Disk Cleanup" may be a good idea. You can do this by right clicking the specified drive, clcik properties, then clcik "Disk Cleanup".

Best of luck!

Answer 2

New Top of the Line Computer

Wanna know why?

If your low on Disc Space but dont want to delete anything. you get a new Hard Drive.
Games loading slow. Might need to add some more Memory and maybe replace the Video Card aswell. Put in a new processor and it would speed things up.

Add in a mother board and a Tower... Presto! you have a new computer.

Plus Buying the computer from the start will prevent you from unneccessary modification and all that work

Answer 3

The best and the latest is to buy yourself a 2.5 inch laptop hard disk. They are now quite cheap and come in all capacities. 80 gb would be the best as their prices are proportionately lower (as most laptops are now coming in 100gb + capacities) you can also buy a USB disk casing which is dirt cheap.
You should then have an 80gb pocket hard disk and it will not cost you more than about USD 90 to 100 (alltogether).
You will not only have extra disk space but also be able to carry upto 80gb of data from one computer to another with USB connectivity, in your shirt pocket.

Answer 4

How bout you take all the songs and games you dont use that often and burn them on a CD, that could free up space for now.

You should also go to a computer store and ask for a new Disc Drive, they aren't too expensive.

Answer 5

You can add either an internal or external hard drive and move all your space-hogging games to that. You would have to configure this as a slave, making your original hard drive the master. If you don't know how to do this, get help from a good tech. Or maybe a tech will see this question and tell you how.

Answer 6

Just buy a portable WD disk drive for like 89.00 that you can use for storage, that will free up some space on your C Drive.

Answer 7

I think the idea for a external hard drive is the way to go. I have two of them, one for important documents and one for media related pictures, videos, etc. This leaves your main CPU hard drive free for more important things.

Answer 8

You might want to buy a new computer. Depending on the specs of your current computer you might have to upgrade your hard drive, cpu, ram, motherboard, video card, etc. in order to speed up your games.
