    Three active hard drives but files keep being added to full C Drive


    My computer really has 2 internal but one is broken. I'm using 2 external and there is one internal C. The trouble is the C Drive is the smallest but programs keep trying to put files onto it hence it's full. I'm not sure what I can transfer/delete without breaking important functions.


    OneDrive also keeps placing copies of cloud files onto there. Windows 10 seems to be very poorly configured for 2 hard drives even if I set everything to save onto the D hard Drive. I'm now getting regularly prompted that the C Drive is full or nearly and programs interfered with. What can I do? I have CCleaner on my computer and I install software onto the D Drive whenever possible.

    what steps do I take to move files from my C drive to an external hard drive. My C drive is almost full.

    Stored files in Hard Drive

    I'd like to know if there's a way of listing all the files stored in my hardware and arrange them by size, because I want to keep track of what's on my hard drive. Thanks, I hope you answer.

    C drive full

    Deleted MacAfee Total Protection which I had on Windows 7 and is not compatible with Windows 10. That cleared out C Drive which is now at 50GB used space of 239GB available. Windows Defender activated when I restarted my computer. Everything seems to be working
    OK.
