I have XP on Laptop and need to clean hard drive
I got down to just several hundred KB left out of 16 GB. I purchased an external hard drive, moved all my files to the new drive, but still didn't gain a lot of memory back on the C Drive. Properties gives me this information:
Used space: 16,221,167,616 bytes or 15.1 GB
Free space: 1,429,282,816 or 1.33 GB
Capacity: 17.650,450,432 or 16.4 GB
I have several icons on the desk top and the only thing I can figure out is I have files I need to delete; files I am not familiar with that may not be necessary and is taking up a lot of space.
I can't defrag the hard drive because I need 15% free space whereas I only have 8% space.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. I am not the most computer sauve person, so whatever you can do to help me, I need your help.
Thanks.
