OT: Consequences of excessive FaceBooking 1 Saabers Like This Post! Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Wed, 25 Apr 2018 03:22:08 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My wife has been getting more and more frustrated with her laptop over the past couple of weeks. Yesterday things came to a head when she couldn't open any link within an email that contained photographs. I was pretty sure the problem was excessive Temp Files from all her FB viewing (she seldom posts).
Sure enough. Over 24,000 Temp Files in her Browser, using over 6 GB of storage space!
I spent more than 4 hours last night monitoring her machine as I cleared all her Temp Files, De-Fragged her hard drive, performed Virus & Malware Scans, down-loaded and installed four year's worth of Software Updates, etc.
I learned my lesson too. I better do this on 6-month intervals in the future! Thank goodness it was a drizzly rainy night that prevented any outside or automotive activities.
