Tnjoann Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 If I am understanding correctly I need to edit only from my computer? I am on a new laptop and the hard drive has a c and a d. I've never had one with two parts before. See screenshot. Normally I place folders and save edited files on the desktop (backed up periodically to two externals) but it appears that only uses the c which has very little free space . Do I need to save the raw (to work on) and edited files onto the d part ? The c only has 118 GB (30gb free) and the d has 931GB. There isn't anything on the d at present but the Bridge Cache which I put on earlier in this lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yes, the C drive must strictly only be for your Windows. EVERYTHING else must go on your D drive. And Brian will have a fit if he sees you say that you keep everything on your desktop. Never do that, it's bad for your computer's performance (although worse for Macs than PCs).

Tnjoann Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Ok while I am changing things I just as well change it all lol. We don't want Brian to have a fit. Although I don't keep everything on my desktop....I probably do keep too much and I can see it really isn't necessary and I can easily do it different. My other computer was from 2012 and it didn't have the two parts. D was the cd drive.... Off to see about fixing my issues. Thank You for clarifying. It will be much easier to correct now while I barely have anything on this computer. 14 minutes ago, Damien Symonds said: Yes, the C drive must strictly only be for your Windows.

Damien Symonds Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How much free space is on your C drive now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnjoann Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 32.7gb I can't figure out what else to move.

I'd say you've done everything you can. So your job, from now on, is to prevent C drive filling up any more. Make sure all your photos go on D drive.
