Really, my beloved fellow forumosans, I know NOTHING about computers. I keep getting this wee pop-up at the bottom right of my screen telling me that “c drive is full. You need 200MB of free space”. What does this mean? How do I rectify it? I’m using firefox, but now when I go to the top to open tabs, it doesn’t work. I have to open them in the main thingie.
Someone told me to remove movies. But I don’t have any! I looked at my “c drive”, and there’s a lot of crap in there that I don’t understand. I saw that I have a lot of photographs. When I ran my cursor over them, it told me that each of them were around 3.3MB. So I deleted gadzillions of them. Were sent to “recycle bin” (whatever that means). After removing what I thought was three million MB, the computer keeps telling me that I only have 1MB spare! And I have this “forumosa friends” shit happening there! Damn sure I didn’t download that!
Help an old fool out here, oh tech-savvy brethren and sistren! And don’t use big words!
I shall reciprocate by allowing you access to my exclusive collection of midget porn, and/or plying you with vast amounts of liquor when next we clink glasses.
The recycle bin will look something like this, but smaller:
Right click on it. Then select “Empty recycle bin”.
Next, install CCleaner (on your D drive, if your computer tells you you can’t install it on C because of your space problem).
Once that’s installed and running, click on the “Analyze” button near the bottom. Once it finishes looking through everything, click on “Run Cleaner” (to the right of the Analyze button). That should clean up a lot of space. Repeat the “Analyze” and “Run Cleaner” sequence every week or so.
It may be empty already. Don’t open it. just point the mouse at it and click the right mouse button. It will open a menu. There’s a Empty Reycycle Bin there. if it is grey and it doesn’t do anything when you click it, then the bin is empty already.
(Just what Cranky said.)
You can find disc cleanup if you open the Explorer and right-click on the C drive. It’s usually a button on the General tab or the Tools tab.
OK. How do I install that? I click on the link, but can’t see how to install.[/quote]
On the right-hand side there’s a green button that says “Download Latest Version”. Click on that and then run the install from there.
