      <![CDATA[<p>I received a low storage message which sugggested deleting unnecessary files.  My hard drive is a 30+GB and thought it unusual to be low so I check and sure enough, I'm out of room.  Question is can I safely move files from the C drive to a secondary hard drive, which files are ok to move, and how do I go about moving them to free room on my C drive?  <br />
<div class="leocomment">I would first try to figure out what's using up all that disk space. This article would be a start: <a href="/wheres_my_disk_space_going.html">Where's my disk space going?</a><br />

      <![CDATA[<p>Is it safe to delete every single .log file on my computer? I noticed it takes up a lot of space, and quite honestly I do not want logs of everything going on in my computer. So, is it safe to do or will it hurt my computer somehow? </p>]]>
