[AT] Windows 10 OT but related

Thu Jul 30 19:31:47 PDT 2015

Cecil,

A 1 TB disk shouldn't fill up unless you are storing a whole bunch of video's and high resolution
pictures.  But if you do an investigation on your C drive you should be able to see what is the
largest files and see if they are really needed. Or copy them to the Auxiliary drive to free up space
on the C drive. If you need ready access to all the files on the C drive then you just plain need a
bigger drive. Or get another auxiliary drive that can relieve the crowdation(new technical word) on
the C drive. Even if the Aux drives are USB 3.0 drives they are still pretty fast for loading of large
files that you don't need multiple times a day.

Yes, the C drive that keeps filling up is the C drive.  it is only 1TB  
the auxillary drive is 3 TB.  You see how much I know about them...
