  1. How to manage years of saved files


    Over the years I have hoarded an unmanageable amount of files. This includes audio, video, documents, personal recording, book, etc. It has gotten to the point where my documents folder has like 50 folders within it, most of which I don't even access anymore. I was wondering if there is an easy way to manage all this files? I don't want to delete all them since I don't know when I'll want them again, but my file system has gotten so complex that I don't even know how to navigate it anymore. I had the idea of just creating an "archive" folder and throwing stuff in it, but then after several years of arriving I'll end up with nested folders that are a mess. Any ideas on how to manage this?

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

    There are no more files and ASUS Data Security Manager

    I've been having the same issues trying to save files.

    I followed all of the steps but ASUS Data Security Manager keeps reappearing. How do I really get it to delete? I've done the uninstall four times and it just pops back in the list.
