Open the MY COMPUTER main window, then right-click the C: drive, then click Properties.

What does the pie chart show in GB's for used space and free space and capacity?

-------------------------------------------------------

I strongly advise you to stay away from "cleaner/fixer" utilities before you trash your computer from using them.

Many of them will tell you that your computer has a lot of problems so they scare you into buying them.

Thanks for the reply I have looked on my c drive and it tells me I have only 9.17 gb left of free space. The capactiy is 22gb . i have used 13.o of space .I dont know what it filling the drive up i dont download any pictures songs or films the computer is only used by my husbands golf club and just for myself to have a look on the internet for anything . I agree about the pc cleaners their just a con thanks for the advise

If the capacity is 22 GB and there's a little over 9 GB of free space, that's normal.

Windows XP and all its associated programs and extras can easily consume 13 GB of space.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to reclaim more space, do the following:

Right-click RECYCLE BIN, then click Properties.

Move the slider from its default value of 10% to 3%, then click Apply - OK.

Right-click MY COMPUTER, then click Properties - System Restore.

Move the slider from its default value of 12% to 3%, then click Apply - OK.

After you're done, restart the computer.

You could also spend less than $50 and get a larger hard drive.
