Insufficient Hard Disk Space on the C:/ Drive

[DanielPatrick]

I have a computer that is nearly filled up with disk space. I have two partitions, a C:/ and D:/ drive. Now the C:/ has 938MB free of 68.2GB and the D:/ has 49.9GB free of 80.6GB. Is there a way on how we can move items to the D:/ by making more space on the C:/ ?

I have thought of moving some files and folders onto the D:/ but the thing is that these are mosly installation files. How about if I move the .ost and .pst files that are used y Outlook? I don't take they will make a difference if I map the data files in Outlook again will there?

This computer is critial so therefore this has to be done as soon as possible. What else can I do please?

Do you have documents and files on the C drive? That would be the easiest way to free up space. If it's just applications and the OS, you can uninstall some large apps and then install them on the D drive instead.

Time for a bigger hard drive. However, you can download minitool partition wizard and shrink D and give the space to c but this is only a temporary fix.

Minitool partition wizard - http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-P...4_4-10962200.html?part=dl-&subj=dl&tag=button

Click on the green download now box to download it.

I'd also use WinDirStat to see what is taking up all your space.

Have you tried the "disk cleanup" tool under "properties" for you C:/ ? Also CCleaner can help sweep the cobwebs outta system. just make sure you know all the user names & passwords for the programs / sites that auto-log on. If not careful, will have to "remember me" again to the sites! ( i do it all the time ... )
