Can I delete all restore files from D drive-It's full.
Posted by Vanessa on December 8th, 2007


I am in need of urget help before my PC dies. I have a Presario 56500NX with
partitioned drives. All of my programs and files are saved on C drive. C
drive capacity is 144GB, free space is 124GB with 86% free space. Drive D is
a totally different story! Capacity 5.14GB Free space is 982MB with only 18%
free space. I researched it, and on both drives did "disk cleanups", "file
compressions", uninstalled programs no longer used, defraged both drives,
deleted all "system restores" with exception of current date. I copied my 1
system restore to disks. Can I now go in and delete all the files on D
drive. HP support advised me to un-install my OS and reinstall. Will that
work??? I really don't want to hose my PC...I use my PC to work from home.
I am desperate for help!! :>(

What?

You need an external drive or a network - more than likely C and D are the
same physical drive and if you are trying to save data before a hard disk
drive - you don't want to do it to the same drive.
