    How can I remove everything from my hard drive except my OS?


    I'm pretty sure I have a virus because my C drive keeps filling itself up for some reason. I tried deleting stuff to make space but it just fills up again. Windows defender avast both can't find it. I tried the factory reset option but it tells me it will only clear my D drive and not my C even when I select clear all drives. My computer has 2 physical hard drives and I want to clear both. How do I do this?

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
