Harddrive still filled - THreaper - May 10, 2018
So i've managed to ruin my own PC, and then do a complete reinstall of my PC, but for some reasons the old files are still filling up my Harddrives even though the files are not installed, it causes a problem since i'm unable to download more without removing some of the new files, since the old ones are still saved in there, can anyone assist me in this problem to help me get more storage on both of my drives. Thanks in advance

You need to reformat your harddrive, not reinstall it.

A method I use to clean up sometimes is going to my C: drive and searching "Size:Gigantic". That will list gigabytes of shit you didn't even know you had. Mostly temp files.
If you use Adobe Premiere Elements 9, the temp files in that cunt are like fuckin 5gb each.

Hope that helps. Told a friend about it 2 days ago and he got 20GB back

Glad to hear it worked. Did it work in English? Or did you have to type it in Danish?
