running out of disk space?

Question

I keep on getting an icon in the right corner that says I am running out of disk space. The problem is that I am always in the middle of doing something important when this happens and the icon dissapears. How can I access this myself??

thanks

Answer 1

try deleting ur cookies, temporary internet files, and empty ur recycle bin...also in add or remove programs in control panel, remove unwanted programs...another way is to right clik on ur c: drive and clik clean disk or something like that

Answer 2

First and foremost, you need to back-up all your important stuff to a CD/DVD or another hard drive. Once that is done I would go about cleaning up the drive of non essential programs, messages, documents, etc.
I have been extensively using flash drives for all my back-ups on my dsktop and then transfer them to a large hard drive at home.
It works great and flash drives are quite reasonable in cost.
When the drive is cleaned up you should be rid on that annoying pop up.
Once a drive reaches 75% to 85% full everyting gets tougher to preform as well as not being able to defragment.

Answer 3

You can access this yourself by doin the followin
Goto Control Panel
Open services And Devices{ if urs is windows Vista}
otherwise goto Administrative tools & select services
Go to disk space alerter and disable it


Itll not bother u again

Answer 4

Open My Computer, right click on C: Drive, click properties. It will show you total space, space used, and space free.

Answer 5

You need to either delete a bunch of files, or get a bigger hard drive. I would suggest getting a bigger hard drive. Then, just clone your current drive to the new one.

Answer 6

Your hard drive is nearly full so either you need to uninstall and delete some stuff that you no longer need or you would need to buy a bigger hard drive.
