Hi,
I am getting an warning that I don't have enough room on my hard drive. It says I have 41MB of 2GB. When I go to clean it, it doesn't show anything to clen up. How can I clean my hard drive without loosing everything?

I just posted on the FavForums/operating systems and was told to ask about my problem here. Here is my first post:

Hi,
I am having a problem with my machine. I am running windows 98se on a HP Pavillion 6636.
Lately I have been having toubles with my maching not wanting to start up. It cannot find the Operating System at start up. So far I have been able to find ways to get it to load up, but very concerned that it is going to die on me and not ever start again. I have also been receiving popups telling me that my Hard Drive is full and that it needs to be cleaned up. I go to clean it up and there isn't much of anything to clean. I don't know how to clean it other than using the clean-up tool that it takes me to.

On a regular basis I use:
Avast anti-virus
ScanGuard
CCleaner
RegSeeker
CWShredder
Ad-Aware

Also I use Trend Micro's Housecall online scan, but the last few times I have tried to scan it seems to get hung up on the "testing platform and browser" section....


ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.


You can try to remove/delete non-essential files like browser cache, tif, temp, etc with software specially designed for that purpose like CCleaner or CleanUp![quote]


I do have CCleaner and use it regularly.



check your hard drive for large log files created by various programs that you might not need.

You should also consider moving data files, especially large multimedia files (video, audio) to removable media. [quote]


I don't exactly know how to do this...is there a program that will do it?


Thanks, Teresa

Put an external USB hard drive to work and copy some of your bigger folders to it.
