HP TouchSmart 520-1030 Desktop PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP touch smart all in one desktop, and somehow I have gone thru almost gone thru a whole terabyte of Ram. So I'm trying to figure out how to clean up my hard drive or consolidate  so I can have some more space. I got a message recently about that exact thing but the message disappeared so fast that I was unable to utilize it. This message has come up in the past and the same thing happened. I find it hard to believe that I have so little Ram left.

Does your machine ACTUALLY have a terabyte of Ram ? From its specs

 

             https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c03023117

 

It has 4GB of RAM, it has 1TB HDD, I think you are talking about its STORAGE, not RAM (memory).

 

Only you know what do you store on your machine, what are importance and what are not. For start, please delete UN-wanted files.

 

>>>>>> I find it hard to believe that I have so little Ram  (sic) left

How many drives does your machine have, probably 2 or 3. I think C: is too small but 😧 is empty. Unless I can sit next to you I won't be able to help what EXACTLY you have to do. Please use Disk Management to find out and post back to see how many partition (logical drives) it has:
