Hello Deltender, Welcome to PCHF!

We have a great team and community here and I am sure we will be able to assist you!

It may be a good idea for you run CCleaner it clears out the rubbish that builds up on your PC over an amount of time!

If that does not help post back and I will refer you to one of our techs for advice

Regards

Smokeycheech

P.S your English is fine!

Are you running any software that could be creating temporary files (e.g DVD conversion such as Nero) as these could be using up the space that you have deleted.
