Memory Full

Hi'ya,

Keep getting a warning saying the hard drive is full. I then get Disc clean up, then have to delete tempory files to allow me to do anything on the computer.

I'm on Windows 98, with AOL as my ISP, unsure of the capacity but as its around 10 years old, doubt it has much.

How do I create more space to be able to use the computer, ie. what can I safely delete & where do I find it in the computer. As you can guess by the question I'm pretty unfarmiliure with what's where.

Any help in the above would be greatfully received.

    If you would like to find out how big your hard drive is, do this.

    Open 'My Computer'
    Right click on your hard drive (probably the 'C' drive) and select Properties.
    You will see a bunch of info about your hard drive including it's size and how much space you have.
