Hi guys,
I am getting a notification on Windows that my hard drive space is low. I had 2 questions:
1. I keep deleting things I don't need but the space keeps getting filled up even though I am not downloading anything that I know of, how do I fix this?
2. How do I change (not sure how to word this correctly) the files so that everything will gather on my new 1.5TB hard drive?

Thanks in advance!

If what im getting from your info is that you have multiple hardrives now and want to start sending files to the othere one???? If that is the case I would start by getting all the pictures,games,videos,music and jsut copy them over to other drive. Simple way is to just ctrl c ctrl v whole files... Then from that point on just direct all...

um... when you delete things, (depending on your set-up) they might be going to the recycle bin. empty the recycle bin and see if the storage increases.


And when you save file/install files, there should be a directory. save it to the new hard drive's directory (like your main drive will be C:/ Drive. so it should be something after C, like maybe E or F or something depending on how many other devices you have.
