Hard drive management practices
By deleting unneeded files from your hard drive and managing the space that
is automatically allocated for saving certain files, you can help maintain the
performance of the hard drive. We suggest that you first check your hard drive
for available space, then back up important files prior to deleting unneeded
files, in case you delete important files by mistake.
Checking hard drive space
In Windows, you can see a chart of the available hard drive space.
To check hard drive space:
1
Double-click on the
My Computer
icon on the desktop. The My Computer
window opens.
2
Right-click the drive you want to check.
3
Select
Properties
. The drive’s properties window opens. The

tab
shows you the available and used space on the drive.
