Disk Defragmenter says it has only 9% free space

[pelon]

Hey everyone,



I have no idea what caused it.
How can I fix this? Is there a free software program to fix this? Any suggestions? Thanks

Here are my two screenshots:

Hope I am in the right place.

Something is clearly using a lot of space on your drive.

Download and run CCleaner to clear all your temp files.
You could also download a program called WinDirStat. That will show you all the files on your computer in order from largest folder to smallest.
If you have a lot of pictures, music, or video files, I suggest purchasing an external hard drive and moving them to that.

Thanks for your response. I'm gonna try WinDirStat tomorrow because my laptop's at my work.

It just means your hard drive is almost full, you can do what voyagerfan to see if there are lots of temporary files that can be removed, but you may have to go through and remove photos, videos, and music that you no longer need. 110GB is not very much storage.

9% of free HDD space just means that your HDD is almost completely full with data such as documents,pictures,videos,music and what not...

Try deleting ALL temporary data and ALL invalid registry using:

-Ccleaner
-Eusing free registry cleaner
-Windows DISK CLEANUP tool

If that did not make a lot of room on your HDD then obviously you have a LOT of data.So:

1. You can leave it where it is and perform the defragmentation anyway,but it will only partially defragment the partition(s) because at least 15% of free space is neccessary to fully defragment the entire partition(s)

2. Move some data to other storage device to have at least 15% of free space so you can fully defragment entire partition(s)





Cheers!
