so i'm out of space on the c drive, will defragging help and if so how do i do it plzthx

 

[Claws of Perdition]

No. defrag only sorts your hard drive so it can run things faster.Only way to clear space is delete things or go buy yourself another hard drive. Go through and find useless programs you dont use anymore and uninstall them.

Defrag makes space on your computer if you press alt+f4 when its at 95%.

lol

haha i'm not that hopeless

ok claws, i think it's just all this music haha, i wonder how much it can hold though...i've been trying to delete stuff but whatever, summer vacation starts friday and i won't be using it for a bit

at this point it's really running slowly, would a defrag help with that then?

 

[Claws of Perdition]

It can help, but it may be running slow because of Spyware it may be clogging up your system. Get a good spyware remover if you dont already have one. A good defrag cant go astray though.

If your hard drive is full, that's why it's running slowly. Windows traditionally needs about a gig of free space to run the swap file efficiently, and if you don't have over a gig of RAM, you're in for a slow fucking time. Clear some space or get a new drive.

I don't think a defragger can help a full hard drive, they need space to store what they're defragging.

delete unused programs
delete all temp files (some get fucking huge, one PC I did this on had a temp file so large it wouldn't fit in the recycle bin!!)
delete the bulk of your cookies and history

you can always buy a 2nd hard drive, there's plenty of instruction out there on how to put it in, do the pins for master and slave, etc
