A year later, I am attempting to solve my laptop problem.

[Grasswire2]

My original query was here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/109522919

Inexpensive HP "STREAM" model laptop with ridiculously small capacity. We discussed here the likelihood that an external portable hard drive was the best and least expensive solution.

So here I am a year later. I have a brand new 2T Western Digital external hard drive. Called My Passport.

I plugged it in. It went to an installation action. BUT....I don't have enough space for the installation. That's the message I got.

So I offloaded picture files to a thumb drive, which freed up 2 MB of space, then emptied the recycling bin.

Tried to install the portable HD again.

Same message. Not enough space.

Now, I do not have a lot of added programs or files. Don't know what else to dump.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
