D Drive Nearly Full

What do you do when your D drive on your computer is nearly out of space and I guess it will no longer do back ups..Right?

If this is not the place to ask this question, please direct me to the right location on Major Geeks.

 

What is the "D" drive? On some computers it is a recovery partition and only barely large enough to hold the recovery. On some it's the cd/dvd. Do you have a second internal hard drive or an external drive that shows as "D"

 

Ohmigosh... this is one of those 'how long is a piece of string' type questions.

Without knowing quite a bit more (about your computer configuration and your understanding of how they work), I don't think it's easy to offer sensible advice.

About the only thing I can think of is to suggest that you take a look at the contents of your drive D: and see if there's lots of stuff there that you feel you can safely delete... with the proviso that unless you know what you're doing, you really shouldn't delete anything.

Maybe look for a local hardware guy (newsagent noticeboard, perhaps) who can come take a look at it for you?

 

Well Imandy, my Windows 7 has a hard drive that has the C drive and the D drive where all of the automatic back ups go to. What else can I tell you. I have gone in there but I dare not remove things as I am no computer star, so I would do more damage than good. I will just have to wait until it is full and than get someone in here to take care of it. Thanks

 

Automatic? Have you seen files with sequential dates in the details view? Recent dates?

 

It sounds like your D drive is a data drive.
When it's full or near to full, you either delete totally unneeded data from it, or you copy some/all to an external usb flash drive, and delete what you copied and carry on.
Once a pint bottle is full, it's full until you empty some out.
It is that simple.
If you want a bigger volume internal D drive then you need to get a new one if your system will tolerate it.
