How do I free up space on my computer's D drive

  • paulgbrandon Mar 15, 2015

    Hi Luis Balaguet, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? What is currently on your D drive? Does it hold just data, or was it previously a C drive?

Luis Balaguet,
You will need to delete some programs to free up some space. If you have room on your C drive you could move some files to it in order to free up space on your D drive.
Thank You,

How do i go to drive c

Click Start, then Computer. It will show you how much free space you have on your C: drive. All "hard drives" need at least 25% free space to operate efficiently.
Run CCleaner and see how much space it frees up.
If the C drive is still short on space, you will need to uninstall any programs you no longer need, and delete any files you no longer need.

Solution of low disk space

HARD DISK MAINTENANCE TO KEEP COMPUTER RUNNING EFFICIENTLY.

Hard disk maintenance should be carried once a month to make your computer run efficiently.
This removes redundant and temporary files, recovers disk space and speed up hard disk access.
Disk Cleanup should be done first - Click My Computer - then right click on the C drive then click Properties, then click Disk Cleanup - let it examine the C drive then it will calculate the amount of disk space it will recover, tick all the boxes to recover the maximum disk space and then Click OK and then Yes to perform these actions. If you have a D drive then repeat these steps on this drive too.
Next the C drive needs to be Defrag. This process converts fragmented files into continuous files and this speeds up disk access and makes the hard disk not work as hard. Click on Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Defragmenter - click to highlight the C drive and click Analyse - then click Defragment.
When this is completed repeat these steps for the D Drive if you have a D drive.
Disk Cleanup and Defrag can take a long time to complete, especially if these tasks have not been for a long time.
