    So speaking of which, is there a way to clean out a C drive on a computer? I have a fairly new one I have barely used and somehow the C drive is full.

    Idk the GBs but I suspect some kind of fuckery is involved.

      Adding another suggestion for WinDirStat in a direct reply to you, in case you didn’t notice the reply to the reply. It makes finding the biggest diskspace hogs trivial, whether it’s a massive file sitting deep in the directory tree or a directory full of other directories that each have 500 3MB files that all add up to 100GB, or 3 installers’ temporary files that they never cleaned up, though you’ll only notice them if they take up a lot of space.

        I would have recommended WinDirStat myself. I never did like the pie chart style views in programs like Filelight and Baobab.

        (I use Graphical Disk Map on Linux. Not quite as full featured as WinDirStat but works in a pinch.)
