H: Drive / Disk Full Errors

hdrive fulldisk diskfull googledrive recyclingbin downloads full diskspace

Symptoms:

Files that are in your H: drive count toward your quota. The H: drive includes your Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, and Videos folders.
To access your H: drive open the File Explorer app, then expand or click into the This PC section, then choose the folder that says H: and has your username name.
The first folder to check for unneeded files is the Downloads folder. Video files take up a lot of room, so if you have files in your Videos folder deleting or moving them to Google Drive will also help.
You can sort the contents of your folders by clicking on the title of the column. If you click on the Size column for example it will sort your files largest to smallest and make it easier to free up space.

Files can be deleted from desktop, downloads, documents, and pictures in your H: Drive by selecting them (or highlighting multiple at once) then clicking on the giant RED X at the top that says "delete".
- Start with the downloads folder
Clear your trash/recycling bin
- Right click mouse
- Select 'Empty Recycle Bin'
To select multiple files at once single-click and hold your mouse button down and drag over the files you would like to delete.

Drag it/them over to the Google Drive window and drop them where it says "Drop files here"

Or right-click in the area that says "Drop files here" and select "File Upload".
To select multiple files at once single-click and hold your mouse button down and drag over the files you would like to delete.
