Default Running Low on Memory

I've had my Toshiba Laptop for a little over 4 years now and I have nearly used all 37 GBs of memory. I don't have a large music library or collection of videos on my PC and was wondering what else could be causing this problem. I have attempted to uninstall all useless software, as well as performed disk fragmentations and cleanups. I've searched for large folders or files but can't seem to find any. Does anyone know of any way I can clear some of my used memory?

Thanks

Default Re: Running Low on Memory

Hey MKessler,

Welcome to PCHF. We have a wonderful team of techs here, and I know we can help you figure this out.

First of all, are you referring to memory, or the space on the HDD?

What function is telling you that you have a full harddrive?

If you go to My Computer, right-click on it, and choose Manage. Double-click on Storage, Double-click on Disk Management, what does it tell you in the right hand window?

Can you please download Belarc from my signature, run it, save the log to your desktop, and attach the resulting log back here, alon with that info?

To attach a file, click on the icon in the toolbar of your post. Click on the Browse button, locate the file you saved to your laptop. Click on Open, Click on the Upload button. Close the window, and submit your post.
Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW
