How do I free up memory space on a pc?

I'm getting this error for the first time...

I am playing the sims, which is a very large game, but I've played it before and never received this message. I don't think there's very much on my pc...

how do i free up space?

Delete Temp Files from Internet cache, empty trash - and then you'll have to see if you have things you don't need - or can put on key drive or cloud storage...

@fun4us2b That's storage, not memory.

Check to see what apps are running. Close any you're not using.

Task Manager -> Processes -> sort by the Memory column.

@iamnikki Go to Task Manager -> Details and make sure you don't have multiple instances of the game running. If it crashed once, some leftovers of that crash might still be in memory.

@Sicarium only one, the game wont run if you try to run it twice..

@iamnikki Still worth a check. Would explain the sudden memory problem.

You need more RAM. You can order it from Amazon.

You can also look to see what programs/processes are running in the background using task manager. Shut down the ones you're [b]sure[/b] you don't need.

You might need to upgrade if there isn't much else running.
Get an external drive

Get to "This PC" in windows explorer and check how much space you have left.
If it's less than 1 gb, then you definitely need to free up space.
I personally use an old program called windirstat to find out where space is being used. But all you really have to do to free up space is delete files. Maybe check your downloads folder and stuff like that first. You can also uninstall programs.
