howdy Mel if you go to start button then click control panel then find add remove software click on it. that will bring up a list of programs installed on your PC, go through it and if you find ones you dont use anymore or old games you dont play click on them then click on uninstall, you may be able to clean up some space did you run disk clean up also it too can clean up some space, that is in the start, accessories, systems tools, disk clean up

Okaaaaaayyyyy!! Just did the disk clean up thing.

It told me I freed up 236,127kb of space.

Is this a lot of space???

Do I need to reboot the computer before doing the defrag??

Thanks much. Melody

thats not enough space you can try the restart, I personally would do the control panel one and see if there are programs you dont use and or just try restarting it, wish you were closer i would just come by and show you

Alan is still sleeping. When he gets up, I'll open up control panel and we'll see what we can delete.

HOWEVER, I DID DO A PARTIAL DEFRAG. I have no idea what else to call this.

I had two lines to select from. The second line was Hard Drive C.

I chose that, and clicked on the option. DEFRAGMENT.

After it was finished, this is the report that I got.

VOLUME HP PAVILLION C
VOLUME SIZE - 178 GBS
CLUSTER SIZE - 4 KB
USED SPACE - 31.19 GB
FREE SPACE - 147 GB.

Is this good?

lol
