Backups
Since my computer was running out of space I backed up all the things that I didn't needed there, and noticed that my external hard drive was getting short of space too. I haven't taken the time to check and delete old backups that I had there, not lying I had over 5 different backups of my documents dated from 2009 to this year, and most of them had almost exactly the same things inside.
And so, I started to move everything to one folder and delete everything that was repeated and I no longer needed. It took me less than 1 hour and I freed like 30GB more on that hard drive from junk that I never deleted.

Yeah my External hard drive is about to burst (not literally). I've been too lazy to clean it up, maybe over the summer lol.
ReplyDeleteIf you back up everything so often, you should look into getting an incremental back up or something. Or easier, just delete the old backup, when you back up again. Yeah, actually, that would be the easiest way...
ReplyDeletewe have the opposite problem, we back up not often enough...
