Disc Cleanup doesn't work and the hard drive is nearly full
This is probably a simple problem for all of you and I started searching the threads for an answer to my problem but realized it could take a very long time.
The bar showing the amount I have left on my hard drive is; 3.82 GB free of 74.4 GB and the bar has turned red. I used the disc cleanup and disc defragmenter and moved several things to my external hard drive and it seemed to free up a small amount of space but it soon filled up again. I have only recently had the internet hooked up and spend a lot of time on social media and Youtube and assume there is a file somewhere that is filling up with "trash".
I am a latecomer to computers and do not know all the terms so please keep it simple.
