Is my hard disc full?

[Deleted account 211025001]

I'm a bit confused (not hard!).

It's saying that Vista C: is pretty much full.

D: is my external drive, so what is Data E: and why does it have so much room on it

The E drive looks like a partition on the hard drive. You have loaded all your shit on the C drive and left the E: drive nice and empty.

It is common practice to use the C drive for operating system software and other drives for your applications.

I have C, D and E drives and D is a small drive with some recovery crap on it. I didn't set it up that way, the company's TSG did.

Like you I am too lazy/unthinking to change software installs to E: from C: and my drive is about 75% full and E: about 2%!

Looks like the OEM created a partition for a backup of the original install.

Ah ha.................yes that does seem to make sense, thanks

Is there anything I can do to move stuff around to free up C: a bit (do I need to?) and if so can it be explained in words of one syllable?

How much of the 55GB is your "personal folder" stuff?

You can change your folders to (e.g.) the D:\Users\Andres\Documents

Pretty much all of it (piccies and music), I don't have an awful lot of software clogging up my drive.

Cheers for the link, I'm defragging at the mo. but will give that a go once it's done

Andre might be a good idea to back your photos and music up on your external drive as well
