Solve : Clean hard drive? |
|
Answer» I've read many things about how to clean out a full hard drive, but none have helped. which one? There's about 10 different programs. But only one called Treesize for measuring disk usage. And only one that does what you're LOOKING forIt is only a 18 GB drive. Just buy a bigger drive. Even a good used one. Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 31, 2011, 12:06:58 AM It is only a 18 GB drive. Just buy a bigger drive. That will fix the low space issue but it won't solve their main question about what is taking up that space. a standard Windows install is usually only 1.5GB, and as they SAID, they don't have very many things installed.Good point...

Does he want to solve the problem or find an answer? The pragmatic approach is to use a larger drive. When one uses a pragmatic method there can be outcomes. Or maybe not. He can choose basically one of two choices. 1.) Use logic and reason to extrapolate possible explanations. 2. ) Be pragmatic and discover unexpected permutations. Quote At the deeper levels of understanding persuasion are many academically PROVEN explanations. Herein lie hundreds of them, all waiting to be discovered.So, when his new 160GB hard drive suddenly becomes 90% full when they have almost nothing installed, what then? Get a even larger hard drive? The size of the hard drive at this point is irrelevant. When there is a 12 car pileup on a highway, they don't just build a couple extra lanes so that there is room to drive around the wreckage, they eventually clean it up. That is no different here. You're suggesting they essentially ignore the issue and buy a larger hard drive- As I said, that will solve their issue with free space but what happens when there is another 12 car pileup and space is consumed inexplicably again? should they just buy an even larger hard drive/build even more lanes? Quote So, when his new 160GB hard drive suddenly becomes 90% full when they have almost nothing installed, what then? Get a even larger hard drive?Will not happen. Do not assume it will. Not enough date to support the conjecture. This has HAPPENED before, somebody believes a drive is being invaded. They try a larger drive and the problem goes away.

It's ironic that you would decide to pedant my statements because they exclude an adverb when your speech dictation software makes a good number of your postings "piratically" a joke.What? When did we pedant any of your statements? Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 31, 2011, 05:00:34 PM What? Quote because they exclude an adverb Quote So, when his new 160GB hard drive possibly becomes 90% full when they have almost nothing installed, what then? Get a even larger hard drive?My deep apologies. I leaps before I looks. To criticize pedantically is adverbially unacceptable. Now, what was the topic? |
