Lap top saying low disk space

why are you telling the op to delete backups, disable hibernation, and format drives when it is not necessary? They may need those backups.

Why? She said everything she needed she had. I haven't said anywhere to delete backups. I've proactively told her to keep them. You were the one who said they were useless.

they are useless if the hard disk fails completely, therefore not the ideal place, however until a new place had been found ie an external hard disk, they may have been useful if windows fails to boot or a recovery is required.

hibernation may be useful to the OP, and there is plenty of space for a hibernation file now.

post 33 suggests wiping d: completely, and formatting.

it's unlikely to work faster, you have too much security software installed for one.

and usb sticks are just about the worse place to store your only copy of important information.

In response to her screen shot which showed she'd already deleted them

ok, my apologies

OP if the data is important, burn a copy to dvd as well, and consider buying an external hard disk, they are reasobably priced nowadays

Personally I'd uninstall and delete MSE. Keep MBAM. I would deffo uninstall avast, delete the folder if it isn't done as part of the uninstall process, and download a fresh avast and leave the default settings - this should stop it creating all those log files....

I was just wondering why you haven't recommended Cloud storage as an alternative.
