[AT] Windows 10 OT but related

[charlie hill]

Cecil,  now that your drive is cleaned up set CCleaner to
"wash free space" and run it again.  It will take a while.
It will ask you how many over writes you want to run.  The
more you select the more complete the "wash" is but the longer
it takes.   I run mine often and keep the over writes set to the max.
Cleaning the free space gets rid of old files that are still there but just
have the first character of the file name removed to make them inaccessible.
just make sure you don't hit the remove all files button!

Charlie

I downloaded CCleaner and it fixed my problem of my C drive being nearly
filled....

Thanks for the advice.
