My C: drive is really full, and as a result, my PC is running incredibly slow. I tried using disk cleanup, but it's taking forever to even open the application. When I pressed the clean button, I ended up waiting again. My file explorer frequently goes unresponsive. What can I do to fix this?

You should try using Space Sniffer to identify what's taking up space. Download it, run it, and delete the largest files you don't need. It'll help you free up some room.
You can start by pressing the Windows key and typing 'Disk Cleanup.' Run that and delete what you can. If it's still slow, it might be a long wait, but it should help, just be patient.
Check if your drive is genuinely full or just showing it as full. If you can, back everything up to an external drive. Also, ensure OneDrive is set to 'online only' to save space, and remove unnecessary applications.
First off, consider cleaning out your downloads folder and uninstalling any games you no longer play. If your hard drive is too full, it can really slow things down and may even indicate a failing drive.
Yeah, if your hard drive is almost full, that's going to cause some serious lag. Make sure you clear out a few gigs of space; your PC needs that to run smoothly!
