does anyone know of any good ways to get more space on my computer I know ways but im looking for more I have a lot of music that I want to keep and I want more so can anyone help?
ok ccleaner doesnt do anything you cant do yourself... and I mean anything..
only use it if your not comfatable editing in your own registry
enable access to hidden files and folders and delete all the old files from uninstalled programs from the: Local, LocalLow and Roaming folders all in the users/appdata folder
c:/windows/temp and delete everything in there (I've deleted neally 2 gig from that folder before)
depending on how old your system is you could have a load of crap inside c:/windows/prefetch
this is the folder that holds all your history of opened files in pf format so it doesnt take windows as long to open them... mine is currently at 25mb
go to windows built in disk cleanup... its inside the accessories folder in the start menu and run that...
and dont 4get all your internet history etc etc
Here are some ideas:
If you've done all of those things and STILL need more space, you could try purchasing an external harddrive or a flash drive to store files on. Flash drives are typically very cheap. If you shop around, you could get anywhere from 2-4GB flash drive for like $10-$15.
Simple solution to store you files to free up space.
-Go to dropboks.com -Create an account (takes 30 seconds) -Then save you files onto your Dropbok account, you have 1GB of storage.
-Dropbok is an EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY easy to use Online storage device, it will take you no time at all to figure it out.
-Also search on Google "CCleaner". -Download and install that program, and run a scan with it, takes no longer than 30 seconds. ~It deletes all temporary files, that you do not need that slow your computer down.
Move your music into the main folder that's never messed with when cleaning your PC out,once you have the files you don't want lost in that folder,look for a Disk Clean up program,every computer should have that already on their PC.
I recommend Advanced System Care Pro. It repairs your computers problems PLUS it gets rid of unnessecarry temporary files and stuff like that. You can find it at iobit.com
Have a friend or someone you trust on your computer and have them do it for you if you don't know what your doing.
