  1. HELP NEEDED for cleaning up the C drive


    Hi. I found that my C drive was being filled up very quickly recently. I'm not a computer expert, so I'm very cautious about deleting files in the C drive. I used TreeSize to scan the drive and found some very large files. Particularly, there are 6 files without name that is taking 44.7 GB see screenshot 1 and a Temp folder that is taking 75.4 GB see screenshot 2. I wonder if I can safely delete them to make more room. Thank you very much!

    :)
