Solved Full C Drive

My C Drive is almost full but my D Drive has lots of room. Is there any way to make my C drive bigger by using some of the D drive? Thank you in advance. Bruce Man

Hi Bruce Man

Have you moved ALL the default data folders onto the D-drive.
When you have two drives, make sure that Music, Pictures, Documents, Videos, Downloads are all addressed to the D-drive.
In my tutorial for how to install Windows 10, I showed how to change the defaults.
Watch this video and go directly to 18:20 minute mark.


Another thing you can do is install CCleaner "free version" and run a scan to remove all old crap off the drive.

In the CLEANER section, turn ON all areas for analysis - especially for System and Advanced.
The ONLY thing I recommend you DON'T DO with this program, is Wipe Free Space.
This can be dangerous and takes hours to complete.
Everything else is safe to do, when the Hard Drive is bursting with crap.

If you upgraded from Windows 7 or 8 to version 10, you can also delete the old version of Windows.

Thanks Derek
I will try this first thing in the morning. I appreciate your help. I Just downloaded Vegas 14 and I'm dying to give it a try. Are you going to be doing any videos on Vegas Pro 14.

I am beginning work on my review today, for VP14.
Will upload ASAP.

There are other extra things you can also try to make room on your C-Drive, if you don't clear some room with CCleaner.
Make sure to report back.

Hi
I moved the files and used the CCleaner but that didn't solve anything. So having everything backed up I decided to do a clean install of windows 10. (When I installed windows 10 before it just installed itself when my computer updated one night.) Also when I downloaded vegas pro 14 Saturday my computer did an automatic update at the same time and I think that is what caused my problem in the first place. So now everything is reinstalled and working fine. The clean install idea was the ticket to solve most of my issues, It's even running faster than before, So thank you for linking that video to me. Althought the other ideas didn't work, it was the clean install that helped me the the most. With regards to my C and D drive My daughters husband has a friend who is the IT guy for the company he works for. He said he will solve my C drive space problem for me.
I am looking forward to your up coming reveiw video on Vegas pro 14. I'm interested as to what you think of it.
That er easy
Bruce

Thanks for the report back

Because you have performed a clean install, there is no need for me to tell you further instructions about removing garbage from C-drive.
What would have happened, is you had TWO versions of Windows on same drive.
At an absolute minimum, that would have been at least 20 to 40 GBs of unnecessary data.
