    Question Computer saying there's less space on a drive than there actually is

    Will do! I already back my important stuff up to an external drive, I wasn't using this as a backup because I genuinely had no idea it was a thing in the first place.

    Question Computer saying there's less space on a drive than there actually is

    This? Pretty sure this is it I just wanna be sure. View: https://imgur.com/vE0ZNhZ I didn't even know this was a thing and it was already on.

    Question Computer saying there's less space on a drive than there actually is

    I'm gonna be honest I didn't know that folder so much as existed before asking here. I just checked it and it's kinda intimidating being a bunch of folders inside it all with numbers. Is there a way to manage it and trim down the space? And yeah I do need to offload some stuff from my C drive...

    Question Computer saying there's less space on a drive than there actually is

    Sure thing. As a note, I tried deleting some more stuff and the HDD started acting properly, but idk how long it's going to last so I'd like to still find a potential solution. WizTree: View: https://imgur.com/ZMS6UTg Disk Management (If this isn't what you meant just lmk): View...

    Question Computer saying there's less space on a drive than there actually is

    I'm in a bit of a pickle with my computer and idk if anybody else had this problem so I figured I'd ask. So my D drive (which is my storage) just suddenly started saying it has 100kb free despite me not adding anything to it, and last night it had like 40 or 50gb free. I tried deleting something...

    [SOLVED] Earbuds only working when plugged in for the first time

    The headphones work totally fine on my phone which is the only other thing I can really test them on, so I don't think it's the headphones themselves. I'll use them on something else I can find to be sure though.

    [SOLVED] Earbuds only working when plugged in for the first time

    Excuse the weird title, it's hard to really describe what's going on without explaining the whole thing. Also I wasn't sure if this should go in Computer Peripherals or Consumer Electronics so if I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong forum. If a mod wants to move/delete this post that's totally fine...

    Would a USB WiFi adapter help strengthen/stabilize a connection?

    Hi all, my girlfriend is having a bit of an issue with her laptop. It's an old Asus k53e from I think about 5 years ago (She's gonna get a new laptop in the next few months but has to save up first). As of late, her laptop has just started dropping her internet connection for no reason, with the...

    Phone Battery Dying Rapidly Even After Replacement

    Hi all, I was having some problems with my phone and was wondering if you had some solutions. So my phone's battery has been on its last leg for a while, and today I noticed that despite having it on the charger, the battery was still going down. I replaced the battery and it kind of worked...

    Static Electricity Damage on GPU?

    Hi all. I know this is probably nothing to worry about, but I have serious anxiety issues and need to get some kind of response. I recently bought an ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB ROG STRIX graphics card (dunno if that's the order of words I just copied it from the website) about a week ago for a...

    Programs always crashing, BSOD?

    Okay so as of recently, my laptop has started taking forever to start up. Not boot, it boots in less than a minute. But when I turn it on, I have to wait a good 3 - 5 minutes with it just sitting on the desktop before I start opening anything, otherwise whatever I open will stop responding and...
