I know this has been asked before, but I can't remember what was
recommended. What files can I delete to regain back some of the space on my D drive. My checker says that there is no more space left. |

How large is "D"? Was it there when you bought the computer? If so, did/does it contain recovery informtion/files? If yes, then you probably shouldn't even be using it to store anything.

Hi Leita , Click the start Orb, click Computer, right click your D drive and click Open . A window will open showing the files on your D drive. If you take a screenshot of this and post it back , we may be able to advise. To post a screenshot , see steps 7 to 12 of this tutorial http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...ool-vista.html ( When you reply, click the Quick button, bottom right, then click the Go Advanced button to get the screen you see in step 7 ) We'll do our best to help.

My checker says that there is no more space left. How drives are identified can vary substantially from one person's computer to another's. What is D: on your computer is not necessarily the same as what's D: on anyone else's. So what is D: on yours? Is it a second hard drive? A partition on your only physical hard drive? Exactly what files are on it? If you get any specific answers to your question, treat them with extreme care, and be very wary of following them literally, since nobody knows what files are on your D: as opposed to theirs. What is safe to delete on D: on your computer can be extremely different from what it's safe to delete on some else's D:. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
