Ahh that was simple. Thanks!

Is there any physical action I can take, or something that would take a bit longer to reverse? This works but the barrier to fixing it isn't that high either.

PS I'm having trouble figuring out how to to show file extensions. I'm on Win 7 and I went to Tools - Folder Options - View. Over there the box 'Hide extensions for known file types' is already...

no its not set to do that. i'm googling how to do that right now. once that's done, what's the next step? i'd rather not go through 300 files. is there some way to filter reddit only files?

I was viewing a post on reddit on Wed that doesn't exist anymore. That's unfortunate as it had some good information in there. It doesn't exist on google cache yet (how often does something get...

Errr... it was somewhere between 40 and 50%. I'm not sure exactly which but I think it was 45+.

OK I'll change it to 10 and implement the backup links you mentioned.

Thanks so much! That was very fast very simple. I've asked this question from others before and never got a simple answer somehow.

So it seems like I'm now not backing up my computer as much as I...

I have a 1 TB HD out of which I have less than 100 GB available. I couldn't find where all the data was going. I ran a program called TreeSize and that shows me 53% of my HD is in a folder called...

Yes my temp files were cleared via CCleaner, and I ran Malware Bytes recently.

I'm running a 4.5 year old computer on Windows 7. Its an Intel Core i5 - 2430 2.4 GHz with 6 GB RAM.

Over the last year or so it's gotten pretty slow. Yes its 4.5 years old so that's part of the...

I'll run Malware Bytes.
I have Windows 7.

I have a lot of applications running right now, mainly about 15 tabs of Chrome :)

But as far as the CPU cycles are concerned (they keep changing so...

I'm really not sure where the best place to post this is. I'm hoping this is the correct section. Please let me know if I should post it in another section.

My computer is 4 years old, so that's...

850 / 915 GB is used, so 93%

Yes I realize that's horrible. That's why I'm trying to move things to E drive but for some reason that's giving me these backup problems.

600 GB not TB.

Im using what came with Windows. No good?

Im using manual backup settings assuming that uses less space. Should I use auto?

I'm not clear if you're asking how much of my C drive is used up (which is what I'm backing up) or how much of my external is used (which is what I'm backing on to).

My C: is 1 TB and is almost...

Hello, thanks for this.

My cousin's given an old computer of his to my Dad. Apparently there's a lot of junk on it so Dad wants me to remove the clutter.

First question - is simply reinstalling Windows enough, or do I...

yeah that's the one, The Great Suspender.

Is there a way of knowing which things in Task Manager are Chrome tabs and which are Chrome extensions?

Yes I do have a number of Chrome apps installed. Not sure which would be the biggest hogs.

The suspending app I just installed over the last week has been a life changer though! Highly highly...

OK I'll look into it.

I've discovered an awesome Chrome extension that 'suspends' the tabs that are not in use, so they're still open but not using much memory. It's been such a game changer!...

its a laptop. is that easy enough to open without screwing things up?

My computer was on hibernate for the last few hours. I just turned it on and its Core 1: 44C, Core 2: 46C

Oh it wasn't idle at the time. I have a number of tabs open in 2 browsers.

For today I just started my computer half an hour ago. But those tabs are still open from yesterday. At the moment in...
