Running out of memory!!

Hi

Can anybody out there help. I have an Acer desktop computer with a C and D Drives. Both have 70GB memory. the C Drive is almost full and the D Drive is almost empty.

Can I drag and drop the information (files) from C into D to free up memory? If so, how is the easiest way to do it. Another thought, would it be easier to connect my computer to an external drive?

    Yes, just drag and drop from one to the other.

    Yep, drag your files from C to D. This makes a copy of the files on D but does not delete the original on C. To free up the space on C you will then need to delete the original files on C after copying.
