  Yes, you can. I would, however, first back up the data before you extend the partition.

  You must use the diskpart utility to extend the partition in the unallocated space. Basically, you need to delete and format the information contained in the other partitions.

  This link should help you understand the diskpart utility

• move my C: drive program files to my D: drive to free up space on the C: drive.

  I'm trying to move some of my files from my C: drive program to my D: drive to free up space on the C: drive. I still want to access via desktop shortcuts to open programs I want to spend. Is there an easy way to do it without uninstall or reinstall each program?

  You can not do the way you want.

  You will need to delete D: and then extend C: into the now unallocated space where D: is.

  You can't take a piece of D: and nail it on C:; you need to remove D:

  Save all data on drive D:

  When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

  Not while you're still editing the project.  When you have completed the project and shared it and are sure that you do not want to do any editing more far, you can delete the whole project.

  If you do a significant amount of iMovie editing you really need to put your libray (ies) on a large external hard drive.  Another thing you can do is to divide your work between different libraries and move those that are not currently on a removable drive.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing youpouvez wish to make:

  Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

  If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end.

• I am constantly be careful of low disk space how do I free up space on my hard drive without taking it to a pc repair guy?

  question title

  What is your drive and how it is partitioned. What are the sizes of the partitions? Select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management for this information.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file and place the cursor anywhere in the file and choose Edit, select all. Right click, select copy and paste into a new message here.

  You are using Outlook Express and Internet Explorer? If you are using another browser please let know us the name.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner but note that cCleaner will not manage system restore points. Remove the old restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  I'll be able to make any other suggestions on receipt of the information requested above.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  1 did you regular disk cleanup?

  Here's a tutorial for disk cleanup: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76073-disk-cleanup.html

  The tutorial has made 2 parts.
  The 1st part is the classic disk cleanup which will give you back some dsik spaces.
  The 2nd part (more Options) is to remove all of your points except the most recent restoration. This will give bring you a ton of disk space. ATTENTION: you need to do TR = ure it not there no probem with your computer before you use more Options, because you won't restore to fall back on 'old' points.

  2. recommend installing CCleaner.
  It's free.
  Use it regularly and it will help recover you a lot of disk space back.
  Attention, DO NOT use the register option. Saty away from him.

  Here is the download link: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner

  3 invest in an external hard drive. Move all your personal files, such as picrures, documents, videos and program downloads on the external hard drive. Which will free up tons of space.
  An external hard drive of 1 TB of capacity can be had for less than $ 150. 500 GB will be even cheaper.
