Anything I can do to make more room? I hate these new games that I keep buying like Dead space that eat up like 8 gigs each! I also have tons and tons of music from itunes. What should I do?

When you finish playing, uninstall them. Problem solved. Seriously, I have to make do with 120GBs.

You could RAR the games you dont play.

Get a new harddrive... But other than that yea, uninstall. Is there really any point in keeping a game on your machine you have not played in months?

"You could RAR the games you dont play."

Uninstall stuff. It's not rocket science.

Seriously, Why not uninstall the games you know you won't play anymore and if you haven't finished them, then finish them and uninstall them.

Do like I do:  buy an external that you use to install all your games on, then when you wanna play a game, hook it up on that.  That way, you don't eat up your primary drive and cause too many memory gaps when you go to uninstall them.  Leave your internal HDD for basic files, programs, and such.  External for music, movies, and games.

I have a similar problem. I have 1 TB and I only have 43 GBs left...

Uninstall stuff you don't use, delete stuff. I have a backup partition on my hard drive and although I try and keep it nice and tidy over the last year it has got so unorganized I have duplicate image files of the same game even! If you haven't already turn off System restore or at least reduce the amount of disk space reserved for system restore. If you have another computer on your LAN then enable file sharing and store some of your stuff on that computer, this is a good idea for music and videos because you can play them on your computer over the network so you can still watch/listen to them even though they are not stored on your computer. Getting an external HDD is also not a bad idea.

Delete the porn that you think you'll never watch again.

Delete your porn.

Also: Defragment your hard drive.

Are you talking about your 360?  I only have a 20GB HDD and I still have 4GB left.  :o

Get another hard drive? They're cheap as hell.

If only 360's came with 250gb hard drives...

And he has posted this in the PC area, so unless he is talking about his modded PS3, i think he's talking about a PC :)"

Get rid of that pesky Vista... that would help.

Other than butt slow USB bottleknecked load times for your games, you mean.

Uninstall things you don't use. Not fucking hard. This isn't some 512 mb Wii memory "Fridge cleanout", this is a 250 GB HDD.

Also, 1 TB drives are shockingly cheap these days. I'm thinking of Raid 1+0'ing 4 1 TB drives next time I buy a new rig."

"Delete your porn.

"You could RAR the games you dont play."

Delete some of that porn.  Though i would not do it myself.

Uninstall the programs on your computer you don't use anymore.

Defragment your HDD and uninstall games you don't play.  Also, if you have a lot of video podcasts or stuff like that, get rid of a lot of them.

"Get a new harddrive... But other than that yea, uninstall. Is there really any point in keeping a game on your machine you have not played in months?"

RAR your games AND get a harddrive, they're cheap as hell.

Get a Hardrive... Use one for applications (browsers, music etc...) and the other for games only. (Thats what I do, I have two hardrives... 372 gigas and 232 gigas)

You can get terrabytes of space for like 200 bucks.

I know it's hard, but you may have to delete like 200gb of porn.

Delete the porn

Get an external hard drive for all your files and stuff, they're not that expensive these days. Just install your games on your pc hard drive.

Uninstall those you no longer play, or just buy a new disc. It's smart to have a separate disc for games anyways, they load much faster than they would on the OS disc.

I would just get a new hard drive, they are not that expensive.

"I would just get a new hard drive, they are not that expensive."

Get another terabyte or five.

I have a 120GB, and I just uninstall games when I'm done with them. It only takes a little while to install games, so why not? High capacity HDDs are for the weak.

I have a 100gig and a 250gig in my computer and I'm constantly running running out of space because I do a lot of video editing and uncompressed video takes up tons of space. But I'm not sure what the problem is. Can't you buy a stack of DVD's and just archive the stuff and keep it in a cd binder or something?

Get a new HD! They are soo cheap in price!

ALso do a defrag and take anything you dont want on your pc off!

Delete/uninstall some shit. Or like some people are saying, buy a new Hard Drive, they are cheap.

diddent want to read all 46 replay's so buy a new hdd a 500gibs arent that expensive or even a 1tb rar all the files that you dont use but dont want to get rid of or burn out on a disc (like photo's)
do a disc clean up uninstall games that you dont intend to play
Defragment your HDD
brun out all your porn on a disc that alone will proberly give you 150gibs

"RAR your games AND get a harddrive, they're cheap as hell."

Buy a new HDD.

I have a 160GB for just Windows + Programs & Games.

I then have 2 x 1TBs for my data storage (music, backups, videos etc). Also have externals which have data on them too (I don't have them installed cause they'll just waste power when being idle).

How many games do you want installed on your computer lol.

I have heaps of programs installed (Adobe Photoshop CS2, Microsoft Office, 3dMark06, 3dMark Vantage, PhysX benchmarks etc)  and quite a few games (Audiosurf, C&C3 Red Alert 3, CS 1.6, CS:Source, Dawn of War 40k + Winter Assault + Dark Crusade, Dawn of War 2, Far Cry 2, Gears of War, L4D, TF2 & Spore) installed on my 160GB (149GB usable space) and I still have 60GB free lol.

I've found that for most people that I build computers for, 250GB is the most they'd need for Windows (Vista) + programs and games. I also like keeping system drives separate from data storage drives. On my 2 x 1TBs I have a mirror of a fresh install on one of them, so that when I format, I don't need to bother with reinstalling everything over again.

This is a pointless topic tbh. I have a laptop with a 250GB HD, I have all the latest games and some classics on it, I just unistall and reinstall. I also have a huge movie collection and get tv shows which I keep on a daily basis. BUY an EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. I have a 500GB MyBook and store everything I dont use on a regualr basis on it, install files ect and old achieved tv shows and films.
