Many of us probably run into the problem with memory management on Windows. All that hard drive space just seems to disappear leaving us with nothing to work with. Many of us simply go out and purchase another hard drive, others wipe our hard drives and start fresh, and some just give up. Well, it's no question that it's become a big issue. With new 2TB hard drives on the market, it just shows that people are having problems managing their memory.
Here's a few tips:
1. When low on memory, try to delete a program before you install one.
2. Use various programs according to what you need (ie CCleaner) and most are FREE!
3. Don't save unused files for years, either put them somewhere else or delete them if they're not needed.
4. Use the disk cleanup feature by right clicking on your Partition > Properties > Disk Cleanup then just follow the instructions and select what you want to delete.
5. Keep your hard drive defragmented, if it gets too fragmented it can be very difficult for some defragging programs to deal with the large volume fragmented items (Note: The more free memory you have, the better a defragging program works because it has more room to move files around with.)
6. Delete items such as cookies and internet history.
7. Compress large files that aren't used often.
8. Manage your data with various folders and sub folders. That way it's easier to see what you need and don't need and where the items that you want deleted are.
9. DO NOT save items in random areas of your hard drive because chances are you will forget about them and it may sit there forever, just taking up space.
