Hi I have noticed that my storage this pc is fast filling up showing 832 GB used out of 910 79.2 GB left ...So do I need to buy more memory ? Intel Pentium 64 bit x 64 processor

That's the hard disk storage, seems like a huge amount, try deleting the junk web browsers store using a utility like CCleaner:
https://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER

The free version works fine. I use it all the time and just run it with default settings.

Wow, that is a lot of data .


Can you account for all this space, or is this surprising to you ??


If you "upgraded" to windows 10 from a different version of windows then you could remove the windows.old folder

That sort of usage is more that web browsers would store though.

I would use WinDirStat or a similar utility, to find out which folders have the big disk usage. It could be some application is taking backups or something like that.

If you've filled up the drive with videos and games and the like, and you expect to save more of the same, then the easiest solution would be to buy a large external drive and transfer some of the data to that.

Not sure why you mentioned your RAM? That has nothing to do with storage.

Already got an external HD where videos' and pic stored. I have downloaded C cleaner and run that . It is system files 777 GB ? Virtual Memory 896 that seems to be the problem ? Do not play games . Win dir stat not got a clue what to do?

Are you sure you are quoting hard disk used? Or MB of memory used? You are confusing us. 829 GB is a huge amount of data for any home computer, around 200 DVDs worth.

Why have you deleted your post ? If I remember your c disk was 80G out of 240G the D Disk was 50% free and the G disk was only using about 30%
