How do I check if my hard drive’s full?
I think my hard drive is full, how do I check it?
To check how full your hard drive is, open My Computer and you’ll see a list of all your computer drives. Right-click the drive you want to check and go down the menu to properties.
Click Properties and you’ll get a graphical view of how full your drive is. Generally we like to have at least 20% or 5Gb free.
If it is full, it’s worthwhile running some cleanup tools on the computer. We’ve covered that in a previous post.
You may need a larger hard drive or to make some system changes to stop this happening again, if so call a computer tech to help you.
