Running out of disc space

[frostyspecs]

When trying to download from BBCI player it keeps saying I am short of space. Not a clue where I can get some more as deleated as much as I can on the programmes front. I do have a lot of Favourites which I could deleate will this help? If so how do I do it?

Favourites shouldn't really take up a lot of space, no matter how many you have. I think you need to tell more, To start with, just how much space do you have? To check, go to my computer, right click drive C (the usual option) and select properties. This will tell you used/unused space.

Also go to your Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and see if there are some programs you can remove. It will state when you last used the program so you can take a view as to how important / well used a program is. Also make sure you empty your recycle bin as if you have deleted any large files they'll still be on your pc until you delete them out of the recycle bin.

What would you do if your car was running out of petrol?

Bar far the biggest files that exist on computers is video.

Have you been downloading videos or films from web sites?

If so see if there is any you can delete or maybe back up to CD orDVD.

Windows has a useful Search facility (on the Start menu) and if you search for "Files and Folders" by size you can find out the largest files on your computer.

DONT just delete files because thet are large (they may be important system files) but if you spot some video files that are large delete them.

Also clear out your recycle bin.

Also clear out your temporary internet files (you can do that from your browser)

you have a couple of options.
however .... because you haven't given much (any) details about machine (processor/laptop\desktop or disc size .... it's general.
1 Try CCCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/download
2 you could fit a new hard disc ... either internal or external
