Re: Low Disk space on C drive

My internet setting is at 50mb, I'm not sure about the partition part - All I
know is I have C drive 13GB and D drive 130GB- how would find out if it is
just a partition of a single drive? Thanks

Even if you install Programs to D they will still install some items to C
The pagefile is your windows swap file and its size is managed by Win
Dont touch duplicated files, unless you know exactly what you are doing.
In Internet Options you can amend Internet Settings to 50mb
You currently have sufficient free space on C, 15% is the reccommended
minimum
13gb is a somewhat small size for a win disk, are you sure you have two
disks & not a single disk split into two partitions?

I continue to lose disk space it seems like every day on my C Drive. I
have
done all of the instructions on some of the other postings - cleaned out
temp
files, set system restore to minimal, ran CC Cleaner, ran disk cleaner,
all
files created, ran virus, adware etc.. Documents and settings are going to
my
larger D drive, but I still cannot see much of a difference. I have 13GB
on
C drive with on 2.44GB left. D has plenty over 120GB and all my photos
and
music etc.. is on the D drive. Most all of the programs that I could load
to
D drive I have except for my printer which supposedly has to be on the C
drive.

I ran a search to see if there are dup files and there are quite a few
files
that are the same size, but I don't know if they can be deleted, it seems
some of them are in different folders. In addition my pagefile.sys, by
far
the largest file is 786,432KB.

I am not very savvy on the computer but need some step by step advice as
to
how to gain more disk space - I tried downloading Sequoia View but didn't
understand it once I tried to run it, so I removed it.

Help :)
