I have two problems i would like help with, so ill be appreciative to anyone who can help
1. I have a windows desktop(gateway) I've had it for like 6 years now. Originally it had 37gb of memory and nowadays its only 700+mb. I deleted as many files as i could and got it up to 1.5 GB but once i ran a windows update, the memory decreased to the 700 it is now. I also should let you know i have a folder that contains the music i listen to and the size of the folder is 5GB+(which is the largest folder i have on my cpu) . I know i could simply delete some songs and i would have a lot more space and i have done that in the past (yep at one point my music folder was larger than 5GB) but the songs i got left, i rather not delete. Anyways, other than my music I'm not sure what else to delete(i don't want to delete something that's important to the cpu) All the files, programs etc....combined i don't even think they would amount to 10+gb so im thinking something is wrong or maybe its just that i had to cpu for so long. I'm actually thinking about wiping my cpu(not sure how to tho ) , if i could save my music somehow. So if anyone has any advice other then me deleting most of my music....please help.
2. I bought a usb flash drive 2.0(8GB) off of ebay recently and I wanted this to be my solution for my memory problem. I had a folder containing pictures, the size of this folder was at least 700mb. So once i placed this folder on to my flash drive and removed it. I assume that basically all i had to do is store all my music on to it, but once i plugged the flash drive back into my cpu the folder was still there but its empty. The real strange thing to me is that when i go to properties to check the space used on the flash drive it says 700mb. So i been wondering how can my pictures be gone, but the 700 mb is still there?
Also, i have been lookin around for solutions to my problems on my own but just couldnt find it or didnt look hard enough.
