SOS, local disk problem!

[stonetemplepilot90]

Hey guys, I would really appreciate some help and advice here,

 

Basically, from what I've gathered, my younger brother has dragged everything from my Local disk C to my drive E, as an attempt to free up space to download an album..

All my files are now stuck in E; I can't drag them back into C, because it is still saying drive C is full. I find this really confusing, as there are only 4 files left in C. I have tried several approaches

to attempt to free up enough space to put all my files back where they belong, but I've been unsuccessful in trying to wipe C, so I can move the contents back, without having to reinstall windows 7.

 

Any light somebody can shed on the matter would be a massive help. :)

Thanks again,

Alyx

Hi and welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help Alyx.

Have you had a look in disk management at what is shown for each partition, both in sizes and how much used space in each?

 

To open disk management click "Start" and type in "Disk Management" in the search bar, click on "Create and format hard disk partitions"

 

Let us know what you find in there, if possible a screen shot of the disk management window could help.
