Acer Aspire V showing very little free GB - please help me!
I have had this laptop (Win10) for about 6 months and only use it for emails and storing my photos - I have about 1000 emails stored without attachments in Thunderbird and 950 photos. No videos or music stored yet...........
I keep getting a message to the affect that my free space is very low. I am elderly and do not quite understand but I went into 'my pc' and it says '5 gb free out of 93gb'! When I had occasion to look a couple of months ago it said 40gb free.
Someone told me to look in C drive and see if there were any large files but I did not know how to do this - something about cmd box - I am lost and wary of doing anything complicated.
Why has it suddenly got to this state? I have done nothing unusual in the last few months except twice the laptop slowed right down and kept freezing recently and I tried to restore it to a few days earlier and it took an hour before it finally worked but said something like ' did not restore all files' however it did cure my problem and the laptop speeded up and was ok - I had to do this twice.
Does it matter I only have 5gb free and will my laptop stop at some time? What, in simple terms can I do please? At the time of the last freeze and attempt to restore I lost my Avast and had to repair it if that means anything.
Help anyone and thank you.
