Hey guys, been a while since I've last been here but need help badly.

When I bought my PC from OCUK it came with windows installed on a 60gb HDD, I then have a 120gb HDD and a 1TB HDD.

Well because windows is installed on c: the (60gb) hdd I have no room at all for anything. I save all my downloads, music and programs along with installs to my A: (1TB HDD). But I can't remove anything else from my c: drive and now I can't even view pictures, or even stream videos as there is no memory!?


I have no idea what to do, ideally I'd like to swap windows to the 1TB HDD?

Even though I save and install everything into the biggest HDD most things always add some crap to the drive with the OS on ..


Any help and many thanks :)
 
My Windows install comes in at around 25gb so if you have no space left on your 60gb drive then something is wrong - have you emptied your temp folder? C - Users - *whatever your machine is called* - Appdata - Local - Temp. (This assumes you have hidden files and folders set to be visible)

All that said 60gb is quite small. You could use Macrium Reflect Free to ghost your existing installation to another drive
 
There are hidden files I can't seem to locate to delete, or files that says I need admin access whilst being admin ..

Just wanna move everything to a bigger drive without effecting anything lol, is that possible~?
 
Use Spacesniffer to find where all the space is going. Also ensure you have full admin rights over the drive (right click the 'C' drive and select properties, security, then ensure you have full admin rights.

Yes you can move the install over - use Macrium Reflect linked in my first post
 
disable sleep and reduce system pagefile

could net you another 8-16gb+

google on how to do it,reduce pagefile to 2gb
