A few days ago my disk space was about... 10GB left? This morning I suddenly got a notification to let me know that I had run out of space... what?
I then had a look and it said I had 250 MB. Alright. I went into programme files and triesd to uninstall AVG as I had installed it yesterday to try and catch a virus I thought I might have on the internet as popups just kept on coming.
So I deleted most of it as there was no uninstall thing, and I left 1 file because it wouldn't let me actually delete it no matter what I did. I had a look at my system drives under 'my computer', to see if it has freed up 65 MB of space. But it said there was 0 space left!
So I was freaking out about it and I had a look at my users folder. 10GB. Only 10, out of 90GB that my computer holds. I went to the uninstall thing to uninstall of my unused programmes. but it said there was not enough space to do such a thing... what? So I tried to do a disk cleanup. It told me there was not enough space.
I don't understand! I'm a failure at computers. I did 3 virus checks yesterday and they found nothing. I'm completely stuck as to what I need to do!

First of all, maybe try deleting your cookies/history/etc? Simple done by clicking Tools (usually) then going to "Delete Browsing History". And maybe to help a bit more, emtpy your recycle bin?
Those are the two places that most of my viruses are, so it might help a bit if you clean them out? idk :\

I tried that and it freed 5gigs. Then a minute later it snapped back to 0 bytes. Did a scan, found nothing. Then I found a THIRTY gig temporary file. Very scared to delete it but now my internet is playing up.

Go to the control panel...iternet options...and delete EVERYTHING! Cookies, temporary files, browsing info, trackers....just everything.
Btw AVG pretty much fails It never did me any good because it NEVER found any vrisus or anything wrong when there obviously were =/ I have Kaspersky now and I've had no issues.
