my hard drive space?

Question

my hard drive is fairly small. when I download it takes up space, but when I delete & remove programs it doesnt give it back? how does this work, will I run out

I am emptying recycle bin & removing programs from control panel. I put my curser on my local disk & it says 10.8 if I delete & remove this number doesnt get larger

I can't answer your question but I love your pic, Go Bucks!

Answer 2

When deleting things from your machine it doesn't completely remove them straight away. Instead they will be moved to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trashcan (Mac OS). The files will no longer show in the folder you deleted them from but the space is not freed up until you actually empty the Recycle Bin/Trashcan.

Answer 3

If you are using windows Me or 2000 disable SYSTEM RESTORE
and els maybe you have a virus
or maybe your documents and data space is too large

if your format your First Drive (C) and install a new version of windows it will be OK
----------------------------
and the other thing:
if your First Drives Space is very little FDISK your hard and make more space for Drive C

Good Luck

Answer 4

clean out your recycle bin there you will see that it is still a running process in your P.C. and you are still taking up that space !!!!!!!!!!!

(click the butten that says empty recycle bin)

Answer 5

You didn't descibe your computer very well,but when you delete something from your drive it is gone and that space is reclaimed,I think your items were not deleted.
