[dawnforsythe2014]

Ok well this is my husband's computer and it's memory or hard drive is 100% full and it's refurbished , bought it that way from a indoor swap meet. I have a cd/dvd+r disk and a 64 gig memory card and don't know what import or export does or how to get file and pictures on them to free up plenty of space please help

Look at your folders, from documents to pictures in your libraries, by using file explorer. If there's stuff in them you don't need, just delete them and free up space.

I've tried that but most of it's in codes and I don't know what app I need to decode them and other stuff is..dll or .sys. or intell i cant delete those but i went in to help and wrote down instructions on increasing memory by lowering paging file so I did that and then went to dell.com and did a full scan and I have 41 missing or damaged drivers plus a whole bunch of other serious issues that need to be fixed but it's like 9.99 for Dell to replace and fix issues and I just paid out all 500 $ of my husband's check just to get our wedding rings out of hawk or we were going to loose them so I don't have 10$ to my name ..not even for food I'll have to go to the church pantry. So I'm just going to pray on it and hopefully God will open a door for me some how

A few of questions:
What is the exact model number?
How old is the laptop?
Which version of Windows does it have?
Which CPU does it have, Intel or AMD?
How big is the hard disk?
How much memory does it have?

I can advise better if you can answer these few questions.

Clean Temporary Files
Windows’ Disk Cleanup tool is useful, but it doesn’t delete temporary files used by other programs. For example, it won’t clear Firefox or Chrome browser caches, which can use gigabytes of hard disk space. (Your browser cache uses hard disk space to save you time when accessing websites in the future, but this is little comfort if you need the hard disk space now.)

For more aggressive temporary and junk file cleaning, try CCleaner, which you can download here. CCleaner cleans junk files from a variety of third-party programs and also cleans up Windows files that Disk Cleanup won’t touch.

Find Duplicate Files
RELATED: How to Find and Remove Duplicate Files on Windows

You can use a duplicate-file-finder application to scan your hard drive for duplicate files, which are unnecessary and can be deleted. We’ve covered using VisiPics to banish duplicate images, and we’ve also created a comprehensive guide to finding and deleting duplicate files on Windows using free tools.

Or if you don’t mind spending a few bucks, you can use Duplicate Cleaner Pro, which not only has a nicer interface, but has tons of extra features to help you find and delete duplicate files.

Reduce the Amount of Space Used for System Restore
RELATED: Make System Restore Use Less Drive Space in Windows 7

If System Restore is eating up a lot of hard drive space for restore points, you can reduce the amount of hard disk space allocated to System Restore. The trade-off is you’ll have less restore points to restore your system from and less previous copies of files to restore. If these features are less important to you than the hard disk space they use, go ahead and free a few gigabytes by reducing the amount of space System Restore uses.

Nuclear Options
These tricks will definitely save some space, but they’ll disable important Windows features. We don’t recommend using any of them, but if you desperately need disk space, they can help:

• Disable Hibernation – When you hibernate your system, it saves the contents of its RAM to your hard drive. This allows it to save its system state without any power usage – the next time you boot your computer, you’ll be back where you left of. Windows saves the contents of your RAM in the C:\hiberfil.sys file. To save hard drive space, you can disable hibernate entirely, which removes the file.
• Disable System Restore – If reducing the amount of space System Restore uses isn’t good enough for you, you can disable System Restore entirely. You’ll be out-of-luck if you need to use System Restore to restore your system to an earlier state, so be warned.
