Gentlemen/Ladies)


I have a Compax Presario a900 Laptop

Its not used for any busimess or anything

However it Keeps telling me the Memory on Drive D is 90 percent full

I suspect its just full off Rubbish which I do not need.

I am totally useless with Computers and need some guidance as how to Clear some of the Memory which is on D Drive



Can anybody please help ?

Download and run CCleaner, select 'Temp Internet Files', 'Empty Recycle Bin', 'Temporary Files', 'Clipboard', 'Chkdisk File fragments', and run 'Cleaner'. That will clear the 'unwanted' junk from your system. See how that does.

CC cleaner will clear out all your cookies, cache, registry leftovers etc. but if you want to clear big chunks space on the hard drive, you'll need to be deleting files.

Your big files will be video clips, so if you can live without 30 downloaded clips of a man falling off a ladder hilariously, I would start there.

Drive D?

Wouldn't that be the CD/DVD drive on your average laptop?

nope not on mine it's not. depends how the manufacturer or user set it up.

Restore / Backup drive? That might well be 90% full. If you've deleted files in that...

Having said that, any manufacturer worth his salt, that uses D colon, should protect the user from seeing/deleting files.
