Running Out Of Space on Your Computer

So you are working on the latest mobile application on your computer and next thing you know is that your computer is telling you that you are running out of space. Then panic ensues because you really need to finish this project and turn it in as a nice little bundle, which needs to be saved on the computer. Before you start freaking out and thinking that you need to buy external storage, there are a couple things that you can try. This might seem obvious, but you should empty your trash folder. Even if it is in there, it is still taking up room on your computer. Next, delete the files in you download folder. You will be utterly surprised by the amount of space you can save just by emptying that folder. You should also go through the files that you have never looked at since they were put there. Videos you’ve taken with your phone but never looked at since, your salivating collection of dessert photos, and the music albums that are so last year — all these files are squatting in your hard drive, and it’s time to evict them. You should go through your cloud storage with a fine tooth comb to see what files you do not need so that you will free up some space to move files from your computer to the cloud. As a last resort, move your files that you do not use regularly to an external storage.
