C-Drive almost full – Windows Heads https://win7heads.com/forums/topic/c-drive-almost-full/feed/ Sun, 27 Feb 2022 07:07:01 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.9 fr-FR https://win7heads.com/forums/topic/c-drive-almost-full/#post-14 <![CDATA[C-Drive almost full]]> https://win7heads.com/forums/topic/c-drive-almost-full/#post-14 Fri, 28 Feb 2020 03:50:37 +0000 paul I have on my PC,using Windows 7 v3.1, a C-drive of 74 GB, and in properties I am told it has 67.4 GB used, and only 7.05 free. I have quite a few photos store there in Picasa, but they total only about 9 GB.

I have a range of usual folders and files in word but no videos films etc. I am wondering how to analyse why there is such an enormous amount of material on my C Drive, when I cannot even see what it is.

One source of help said to go to « Start »> ‘Explore’, but this « Explore button does not appear at all. this would have supposedly led onto >Folders>C drive but I cannot do any of this.

I have tried « Desk clean-up », and Defrag, and moved many folders of photos onto a separate Seagate Free Agent, all to no avail.

Can anyone tell me how to see what this hidden 60 GB of ‘stored material actually is?
