I am a novice when it comes to "tech things" I just got a notice my C Drive is full. I have no idea where to go from here. I did try DIsk Cleanup and
I got no storage space. I just do not understand what could be taking up so much space. Is there any kind of fix for this besides having to buy another PC? I have put a screenshot
of my version of Win 11PS.webp
Thanks for any help in advance.....

your problem is easy to fix. you can move personal data to a different drive without having to buy another PC.

SIMPLY purchase an external hard drive that plugs into a USB port on your PC.

Open Disk Manager and click on the disk that is indicated as full and select "open".

you can drag and drop personal files and folders, videos, music etc. to the open external drive.
