Solved Low disk space

[Sound_Asleep]

I have an Acer Aspire 7730,
it has 2 memory areas,
1 is only used for backups which is very very unfilled
still has 49GB of 69.5GB
the hard drive that has everything on it
is also a 69.5GB
I have 9GB of music and less than a GB of pictures
so that's basically 10GB just to make it easier,
when I first got my laptop about 10GB was already used
I think that's probably just normal computer files and programs
so if I havn't added anything how can my laptop have gone from having
40GB to now 5GB if I havn't added anything?
and how do I get this 35GB of taken memory back
it's not backup files because these are stored on an entirely different partition of 69.5GB, all help is appreciated
thankyou :D

Removed for advertising?

 

[stew2]

Yeah in my last post i gave links to two programmes that could free up more space but unfortunately they were removed as the moderators thought i was advertising? Sorry i cant help you more

 

[Sound_Asleep]

it's ok I downloaded them before they was removed

 

[stew2]

Cool. If you need help with them then start a new thread asking for help on those specific programmes and then i can help lol

ccleaner might help you along the way ...
if not google might help you to

 

[stew2]

Just my opinion but i wouldnt recommend using cCleaner as it can destroy your pc. The two programmes i told you about and the two shortcuts i gave you are more than enough and iv never had any problems using them.

well your allowed your view on it :huh:

Yeah each to there own i suppose. I dont use it as the registry cleaner has a habit of deleting files it shouldnt, like ones you need for boot up etc. I just think there are better and safer apps out there.
