    c users need to delete all 5 gb 3 gb for One Drive can I delets all these files?

    c users greg one drive has 3 gb and I need all this space I bought the acer cloud book with 25 gb and have .8 free on my documents I only have 400 megs used I did properties on all of drive and found 5 gb on c users greg and 3 gb was for one drive
    properties I need help to del 5 gb to free this up as ms update fails as not enough space....

    I suggest you to delete the unwanted data and unused applications to clean up the drive.

    5 gb on c users is the only large gb I found others must be hidden in c system files for the other 20 gb

    I can buy a 64 gb flash drive for 20 dollars is there a way to move the 5 gb in c users to this?

    You suggest to delete the unwanted data..... I need to know what you mean data as its all c users greg 5 gb and in this c users greg one drive 3 gb and you said this will do me no good to delete.... so is the 20 gb all in the c system hidden files?

    thanks

    C users greg one drive is 2 or 3 GB can I delete all this c users greg one drive and still get on the cloud for one drive and why is there 3 gb on my hard drive?

    is C user greg documents unwanted data? that can be deleted and still show in c documents not just c user greg documents?

    Is it safe to delete this 80 GB file from C: drive

    Can I delete this unknown file safely?

    Well then simply erase (Shift + Del) the $RECYCLE.BIN folder of that drive, I just find it odd that Windows doesn't pick up the drive's recycle bin when you connect it.
    And yes it's completely safe to delete the whole $RECYCLE.BIN folder, it wont affect any of the other files/folders on the drive, and whenever you delete (Del) another file it will be re-created.
