My sister sent our PC to her friend to have Windows 7 put on it and now the C: drive is almost maxed out. I don't know if it was that way before it was sent out or not, but it's definitely closer to the max than i would like it to be. I was able to clear about 30gb of space so now there's about 45gb worth of free space out of 143gb total. I have absolutely NO clue what is taking up so much space. Any help to get that number down would be great. We don't have an exorbitant amount of movies, pictures or music files on the computer either. So i'm really lost as to where it could be coming from.
I need to clear up some disk-space by moving lots of picture and movie files to an external hard drive. On xp and previous you just right click and move them. On seven it is not so simple it seems.
[code] I keep getting the error message: "Running out of disk space on Lenovo D Drive" and I don"t know how to free up space. I had a large file: MediaID.bin on this drive, using a lot of space, tried deleting it, it went away but no space was freed up.
I downloaded Oracle's VirtualBox because I wanted to test it out, but it created a 25GB virtual hard disk that I want to remove.Since I am using an SSD I have limited space (120 GB) and during the virtualbox setup I pressed cancel on the "create virtual disk" but it went ahead and did it anyways.I uninstalled virtualbox since, but the hard disk didnt remove itself along with the unistillation.
I want to clear everything I have on my hard drive because it is getting pretty cluttered.Can someone tell me how I can clear my data but still keep my OS?Pretty much I just want all my data and programs to be deleted (ill install them later), but still keep the OS.

I'm using an hp computer with Windows 7. I use IE 9 as my browser. When I open tools, or click on the gear wheel I get the option to "view downloads". I click on clear list to get rid of the ones I don't want, or I clear the whole file. The list does clear. But the next time I open the browser and go to view downloads, the same items are still there. How do I clear them so they don't reappear? Do I need to go into the registry editor?

Is there a way to clear the 'Last Run' date and % fragmented in Disk Defragmenter in Windows 7?I've cleared the event viewer application and system log files and also completely disabled and reenabled the defrag service. I'm not sure what else to try.I ran Analyze on my SSD (did not run defrag) to see what it would say. I just don't want that history showing it as fragmented. I understand it's a trivial complaint though, but don't like seeing it. That data has got to be saved somewhere in the OS and I want to blow it up

I have used firefox since day one when I bought my new pc - but in recent months, I have been getting some irritating issues.Everytime I goto clear my temporary internet files, the program simply refuses to completely clear them and the address toolbar.Also, I cannot seem to install or update Java, everytime I goto install it, the installer comes up with an error - and renders Java unusable.Finally whenever I use Hotmail this is a frequent issue."A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding.

How do I clear all recent lists from a specific program in start menu? I don't want to disable the recent program/list feature globally, just want to in one click clear all recent lists from that specific program instead of manually one at a time.
I bought a dell laptop 2years back. It was shipped with Windows Vista in C drive and a Recovery drive. I split C drive into C, D and E drives according to my requirements. Now I want to format my laptop.

I want to be able to clear some of the tag suggestions from the automatic explorer list.Eg:When tagging photos and you mistype a tag (e.g., you meant to type "Mom", but instead you typed "Nom" or something like that). Even if you delete the tag on the file, the tag still shows up in this suggested list of tags in the Info Pane's tag edit box. So, whenever you go to tag a photo the auto-suggest list shows "Nom" with the other recently used tags.I found this for vista but the label assignment file isnt under photogallery How to clear tag suggestions - Windows Live Photo & Video Blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

I have Win 7 installed and working (built from the Dell OEM DVD - Home Edtion 64 bit). I have all the 80 + updates/patches downloaded and installed Everything is working good. My main partition is Drive C (system/boot/active) and I have an image backup of it stored on another drive My data partition is Drive D and I have file backups for it on another drive Issues. All is good except on restarts, I get chkdsk / drive consistency problems. In the event I cannot clear out the errors, I may need to reformat Question - Which, if any, of the two options should I go with.
OPTION 1 1) Boot from Win 7 OEM DVD 2) Select Custom/Advanced/Format 3) Let Win 7 format the drive and install clean. 4) But then blow away the WIn 7 version and recover Win 7 SP1 from the image backup
Or Option 2 1) Boot from WIn 7 OEM DVD (same as Option 1) 2) Select Custom/Advanced/Format (same as Option 1) 3) Let Win 7 format the drive and install clean. (same as Option 1) 4) And then continue from there ,ie start all over again to reload all the windows updates.
