C Drive Overload

Anonymous

I have been having problems with my C drive on my laptop. It has been overloaded for sometime and I am needing some assistance as to what I can do to get it back to normal. I have tried to optimize, and that doesn't seem to work and I don't want to delete anything. What can I do?

Hi Jason, yes a lot of stuff - 3/4 of your hard drive was in that folder, you will have a lot of free space once that is done

Make sure to empty your Recycle Bin once that is done . . .

I did and it said that it needed an Administrators permission. I just closed the tree. I can pull it back up and screenshot it for you

Hi Jason,

Open Windows File Explorer (folder icon on your Taskbar)

On the left, click 'This PC'

On the right, double click your C Drive

Can you see that N360 Backup folder

Can you right click and delete it form there?

Hi Jason,

Norton is definitely removed?

Can you delete the sub folders of the N360 Backup folder one at a time, or is that also blocked?
