actually...it may not be a bad idea to run scan disk first
just incase there may have been drive errors


then just do a simple

leave the field blank and it will list all files
then sort by size...and you will see what's taking up the most space

She should consider buying and installing a new hard drive.

Excelstor drives have a large capacity, are very nicely
priced, and are made in China.
