Previously I posted that the notebook is almost out of memory. The alert actually says "almost out of disk space". What is the best solution?

Move Pictures, Music, Movies to an external USB hard drive or burn to DVD. Uninstall unused programs and make sure your recycle bin is empty.

Deleting files does not free up disk space

Note that "deleted" items move from their location into the "Recycle Bin".

So, "empty" the Recycle Bin, in order to reclaim the space.

Or, when deleting:
1. click ONCE to select a file/folder to be deleted
2. hold the SHIFT key down
3. click the DELETE key
4. release the SHIFT key

This will "permanently" delete the file/folder, immediately freeing-up the disk-space.

Tap "Empty Recycle Bin" 3. Tap "Yes" when asked to confirm the file deletion. * Change the Properties for the Recycle Bin so that files are deleted instead of being moved to the Recycle Bin. Use the following steps to change the properties of the Recycle Bin. 1. Depress the "Alt" key and tap the Recycle Bin. 2. Tap "Properties". 3. Tap the check box for "Do not move file to the Recycle Bin, remove immediately on delete". * To make additional space available for the Recycle Bin.
