If you've been using your computer for any length of time, chances are you've run into the problem of your C drive being full. There are a few different ways that this can happen, but fortunately there are also a few different ways to solve the problem. Here's a look at some of the most common causes of a full C drive and how to fix them.
One of the most common reasons for a full C drive is that you have too many programs installed on your computer. If you're not regularly using all of those programs, they're just taking up space on your hard drive. To free up some space, uninstall any programs that you don't use anymore. You can usually do this from the Control Panel in Windows.
Another common cause of a full C drive is large files that are taking up too much space. This can happen if you have video files or other large media files stored on your hard drive. To free up space, delete any large files that you don't need anymore.
Finally, another reason why your C drive might be full is because there are simply too many temporary files stored on it. These temporary files can come from web browsers, applications, and even Windows itself. To clear out these temp files, open the Start menu and type %temp% (without the quotes) into the search bar. This will open the Temp folder where all of these temp files are stored. Delete everything in this folder and your C drive should have some more breathing room again.
