I really need to get rid of shit from here. It's running SO slow. But I need everything   I'm just gonna burn all my films to disk. That'll free up some space. What else can I do?

Replies Charolastra Posted at 8:51 am on July 7, 2009 There's a solid chance that you have malware running on your computer. It's not the memory usage that's doing it. I do have a few more questions to gauge what's going on but if you need the help feel free to PM me.

Quote: from jamesish at 12:06 am on July 7, 2009 Maybe you could try a disk defragmentation.   I do that about once a fortnight... hI jAMES Posted at 4:06 pm on July 6, 2009 Maybe you could try a disk defragmentation. This will bring together all the scattered file fragments and writes them into joining clusters. This will in other words free up space on your hard disks. No matter the operating system you have (I'm assuming you have Windows) you can easily assess this utility. You can either search for "defrag" or find it in your progams. It shouldn't be too hard to find. Basically when you do anything on your computer, your fragmenting. This is a simple explanation that I found. It's probably in simplier terms than I could explain. Computers do not necessarily save an entire file or folder in a single space on a disk; they're saved in the first available space. After a large portion of a disk has been used, most of the subsequent files and folders are saved in pieces across the volume. Fragmentation Maps [+]When you delete files or folders, the empty spaces left behind are filled in randomly as you store new ones. This is how fragmentation occurs. It might take a while to complete but it may help you out. Since you have a lot of spaced used up, you will probably need to move stuff to disks anyway.  But after you move and delete the folders/files/programs/etc., you still might want to defrag the disks.

I needs to know... or i'll go crazy. I hate waiting :( Storing a lot on your hard drive doesn't slow your computer down, but having lots of processes running in windows at startup, and while your computer is running slows it down. The best thing you can do is reinstall windows (PM me for instructions) as this will leave the computer going as fast as it is brand new! I had written a long explanation but then prssed the wrong button and deleted it by mistake :( if you need help installing windows PM me :) Mikoto Posted at 3:56 pm on July 6, 2009 700GB free of 1120GB. :D Ska Ninja Posted at 3:54 pm on July 6, 2009 Lulz yeah save them to disks Leica Posted at 3:53 pm on July 6, 2009 59.7MB of 61.8GB August Rush Posted at 3:52 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from bawx II at 11:50 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from August Rush at 3:49 pm on July 6, 2009 deleting stuff from your hard drive won't make things faster! it doesn't work like that.. quite me asking for more info if you want it, I can't be arsed to explain unless you want to know :) Yes it does, she might delete spyware and malware and shit. Hella' fast. Deleting that stuff may make things faster, but it simply doesn't relate to size of stuff on HD.
