I've had the same computer for seven years. For a while now, I've been having a recurring problem where the main drive where Windows is installed is full. I've deleted everything I can (including TreeSize, etc.), but it's not getting any better. What can/should I do now? Can I simply replace the hard drive?

Loading...I've had a PC for a while now, configured for me by a former friend with whom I'm no longer in contact. I would never have been able to do it on my own. Now, I've been having the problem of slowly running out of storage space (there's not much left to delete). Do I…
Hey guys, I'm currently looking to give my PC a facelift and, among other things, would like to mount the graphics card vertically in the case. My case is a Corsair 465x, but I've heard that the built-in bracket isn't very good. So I looked on Amazon and found this bracket: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09WTHY13V?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_MYE8J2NFCC094S1QJQ6N Now I'm wondering…
Can someone help me here.
For a few days now, my laptop with Windows 11 has not been protected, so I'm trying to update the protection via Windows Security. But nothing happens. It keeps checking for updates, and after what feels like an eternity, it doesn't update, and I have to start over. How do I update virus and threat…
Hey, I want to buy 3 decent monitors. either 3x the LG Gaming Monitor 24GN60R-B Or 3x the AOC Gaming 24G2SAE
I suspect that you (C:) have encased gameplays of your used games.
Solution the problem: Buy a larger disk, best install a SSD and reinstall Windows and the desired programs/apps.
However, if it is your own files, such as images, documents, videos, etc., it is possible to shift them to a second hard drive. It’s pretty easy. – See:

Just buy one
Yes of course, they can exchange but it is unnecessary to put one in the pc.
Then you can copy everything from c to d or make c free from your personal kram.
Oh, I already have two. So I can just put everything on the second? I am surprised that Windows was not installed on the 2nd from the front, which is much larger
Because you choose the running gear yourself….
and yes you can install program on d but you have to change the ordner path when installing
it is not about their size but their writing and reading speed for the operating system
It is also not necessary, but you can set if you load something down where it should be stored in the browser
you can also set when you install where to install
And of course you can also get a completely new large hard drive, but had to first install windows dfrauf or clone with the hard disk.
That’s what I was about. I can’t move anything else to D, because there’s only Windows and the programs that have to stay on the main drive
By the way, you can’t even take the windows over, which sparks otherwise.
windows can stay because you can use both hard drives
c for windows d for the rest
finished
it will take what is faster for system
I didn’t do the installation of Windows myself, which was already on the C drive. And programs, etc., I’ve all moved, I’d have to move Windows myself now
Yes, either exchanging an additional or a larger one
How big is the hard drive? Of course, you can exchange them against a larger one. Personally, however, I would use a hard drive C: for Windows and maybe some programs and another for all other data. Also games are not on drive C:
The hard drive is 128 GB large and at the moment, except Windows, only the programs on it that I could not move. I still have 1 TB record and there are all games, photos etc. on
Yes well, 128GB for Windows and n few programs, since the place is quickly used up. It’s a ssd and it’s as good as full often the speed. Maybe there would be a 512GB or 1TB. Costs no longer the world. The old one could be on the new clones, is the least effort. But if the system is as old as the PC, maybe a fresh reinstall would not be a bad idea
You can also activate drive compression in the drive properties. Mostly the relatively large storage space is free.
Either you clone the data on a larger drive and build it,
or you are building a new, bigger one and start new ones.
How big is your current record and what do you have for apps that limit the place so massively?
Maybe even look at the workflow, which can be improved there to not always limit the OS record.
It’s 128GB. I also have a 1TB in it, but since Windows was installed from the front on the smaller one, I just left it that way. Installed on programs, I only have a few Adobe programs and games that need to be on the main record, all together approx. 10GB. As far as I can see this, Windows itself takes up almost 100GB (or the entire user files)
joa, 128GB nowadays are little for Windows and a few apps.
You should think about something new, bigger.
1TB SSD costs around 70€
Clean up disks with system files.
You got a C drive?
If no and there are also Laufwer D, then mark files from C and drag them over to drive D.
If so, buy an extra drive.
But PS:
With a 7-year-old PC, you might think about replacing it with a newer model!
I also have a D drive and there are already all programs and data on it that I could move, but also with Windows alone (and a handful of other programs) C is always full. Also just think about buying a newer PC
You buy a bigger hard drive and just clon it…. 🙂
