Can't install updates due to not enough storage space. Have disk cleaned and defrag. Deleted files. Moved files, pictures, documents, EVERYTHING to flash drive. Still get error message.

Thank you for the advice. Now, as a computer dummy, I hate to ask, but what is a CDM? And how do I get to it?

Oops! CMD?

CDM is known as Command Prompt.

Follow the below steps to resolve Low Disk Space issues by disabling the hibernation option: 
Run the Disk Cleanup tool, and then at the bottom of the window that pops up, click on "Clean up system files". Check everything, hit OK, and let it run. You will free up several GB for sure.

 

Keep me posted for further assistance.
