    C drive full.

    Any suggestions how a retard can easily and foolproofly free up space - theres 500gig free on the D drive?

    It's a partitioned drive, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

    I could do it before with older windows, but i'm bollocksed if i can do it now.

    A free download would be nice, because i'm technically a bit shit.

    Move stuff (cut and paste) from the C drive to the D drive (especially large files like music, photos and videos, etc). Right click a folder in the C drive, click CUT. Go to the D drive, find a location you want to put the folder, right click, PASTE. Repeat as necessary. Simple. Tip: start with a small folder first so you can see it works.

    Get an external hard drive and put all your photos videos etc on it.
    I do that anyway in case the computer crashes or gets stolen you still have the all important pics.

    If you download loads of goat/granny porn off uTorrent....

    Just change the destination of where it gets downloaded to.. ie, your D Drive

    options-preferences-directories

    Is there an easy way to move the partition?

    Cheers for the help folks - i needed to free up some space - the avg couldnt even update because there was no room at all.

    The full C drive might explain the woefully slow load up times recently as well.

    They did that last time.

    Completely freed up the C drive by simply deleting the whole lot.

    BTW...you must have a load of crap on there as although my C drive is 150GB and it only uses about 36GB to run Windows

    If you are sending Torrents to your C drive this my be why is filling up,if so try sending your torrents to one of your other drives .

    On the case now.

    I'll be back shortly to find out how to reformat, and how to re-install everything.

    Thankyou to all, except Dilly and Willy.

    Was that intended as a complement?

    Now you've freed it up, keep all your shit (movies, tv shows, music, photos, porn) on the D drive.

    Also buy an external harddrive and copy them all onto it, as backup.
