Not enough disk space and can't clear temp files?!
Hi,
I am having problems with my acer aspire 5. I have very limited disk space and it says 700+gb are taken by temporary files:
When I try to press on temporary files and clean it, it gives me like barely any files to clear:
I have trawled this forum trying all the commands I can find but they're all making no difference! This is making my laptop unusable, any advice?
TIA

Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump. While these are usually smaller, if there are thousands of them due to repeated crashes, they can add up.

Use a tool like Windows Explorer or third-party apps like WinDirStat or TreeSize Free to identify large files and folders taking up space.

Before deleting files, especially system files or old restore points, ensure you understand what you're removing to avoid accidental data loss.
