Help with weird stuff on my PC

[FER]

Nothing terrible, but its just that even tough i delete some files to free some space on my PC, it still shows the same amount used on the disk.

Any way to fix this purely aesthetical problem?

Delete files larger than 1 byte.

I deleted 680mb

If the windows haiku doesn't fix it...

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

It maybe an issue with your file indexing service... Windows_Key + R, services.msc. Find "indexing service", stop it - then check your drive's properties again.

Hopefully this is FAR from chaos.

Ill try that Thothie, but since my windows is set to spanish, it will take a while to look for it

 

[Thothie]

¿Por qué la cogida de sus ventanas está configurado para español? :?

 

[FER]

Well, im argentinan, thats why

also LAWL Thothie, its just that here we use the word "cojer" as "f-u-c-k" rather than "catch"

 

[Thothie]

Well, I was trying to say "Why the fuck do you have your windows set to spanish?" - so maybe my spanish is better than I thought.

Control Panel -> Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options -> Regional and Language Options -> Cycle the three tabs making everything English, should that be your primary language (like it is for me).
BTW, before posting this screenie tuts (so you have no excuse in delaying this change)... I'm going to tell you... I got too friendly with the blackout box in Paint. I butchered most/all things not related to the precise stuff you needed to see. ^^

And you're done. Just change the language bars in accordance to your native tongue. Or whichever language you read & write in best.

Thanks netrogor.

Also I have another question, now regarding Steam.

My half-life folder is full of .MDMP files. Can they be deleted or they are needed?

 

[Mikkel]

I suggest External Harddisk

No, those are crash dump files. They can be deleteified.

I suggest External Harddisk

Like I'm going to copy off 500gb of crap at USB2.0 speeds. Dunno why these things don't have ethernet, or firewire, or SATA, or... Somethin else faster than USB.

USB3.0?

USB2.0 is fast enough, for me.
