My Samsung , Windows 10 OS PC keeps flashing local disc e nearly full despite moving loads of large files to portable hard drive. any ideas?

In the system do you know if it is a SSD or HDD?

 

How did you move the files

 

Start

Windows Adminstrative Tools

Disk Cleanup

Bottom left select Clean Up System Files

Select the More Options Tab

Under System Restore and Shadow Copies click Clean Up...

Click Delete

Go back to the Disk Cleanup Tab

Put Checks in all the boxes

Click OK

 

May take several minutes depending on the amount of data it needs to go through.

Hi Bob and welcome to ExTS

 

In the Search box [ bottom left ] type C: ........then right click on the highlighted C: that show left of screen.

Then click on "Open File Location"

What information does it give on your hard drive relating to Free Space?

Something like 300GB free of 500GB

 

Complete the Disk Cleanup that Rustys suggests

 

Does the free space increase after the Disk Cleanup ?
