Toshiba Satellite Running out of space

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop L450D - 11W .
    My "D" Data drive is almost full also my "C" drive. Total 350 Gig.:mad:

    What are my options if any as I need to do something very soon.

    I looked at the "D" drive contents and I don't see anything I can safely delete.

    I would really appreciate any help offered.

    Regards Feardorca

    Run 'ccleaner' to get rid of a lot of unnecessary temp files. Attach an external hdd/thumbdrive and copy off files you don't use very often.

    Also uninstall anything you don't need, or that's free and easy to get again. Disable Hibernation if you don't use it, it uses as much disk space as you have RAM. Adjust the size of the Recycle Bin, and empty it. Make a new restore point and delete all older ones.

    Run that and you'll get a nice graph of what's taking up all your space. See if you can delete anything.
