I have a 60 gig harddrive.
I had 7 gigs free this morning. Have been burning.copying some dvds and then went to put in another one and got error. Not enough space on harddrive. Need to have at least 4.4 gigs free on hardddrive.
Right now I have about 3.64gigs. I ran a disk clean up and still am short. how do I get more memory?
Thanks

Try Ccleaner it cleans much more than the in built windows tools.

Also just so you know memory is to do with RAM not hard drive space.

Do you reguarly clear out your Temp folder? Esp. with burning DVD's you have a temp file which can take up alot of space.

Ensure that hidden files are viewable (To change this go into My computer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Hideen files and folders > Show hidden files and folders)

Once you have done that, if you go into (C:\Documents and Settings\*Your username*\LocalSettings\Temp)
In there, there should be alot of files. When deleting if you select the files and hold down shift when you press delete, it will bypass the recycle bin, and get rid of the files. *Please note: you will be unable to recover files that are deleted like this*

Thanks. It did the trick. This site is awesome. Everyone is so fast in responding to people.

Not a problem:)

Performed that on a user's PC today free'd up about 3.5Gb of space
