alright here's my problem
my computer is 120gb but.......for some reason. its all used up. it is almost 80gb of the category "other" which ive looked how to get rid of it, but im afraid of deleting things that i need for the computer
im in the process of uploading all of my files to google drive so thats ok- and i can get my apps from the app store and websites again......except for one
as a digital artist i need something to draw on right? i have clip studio paint, which usually costs money, but i got it for free through a code that expired last year.
i need that app so i can draw and stuff and i really like it- but if i wipe my computer's files, its gonna go away. bUT i need it. is there a way to save it?
if anyone knows a way to upload an app or something to a website that could be re-downloaded that would be great- thanks 'v'

What kind of computer do you have?

Cloud services like Google Drive is a good idea. I'm personally paranoid about my data so I have an extra hard drive synced with Google Drive so I have a backup just to be safe.

Other tips:
1. Defragment your computer. You can find the defragmentation tool by either searching for it or finding it on the Control Panel. If you're having trouble with that, third-party freeware like Defraggler.
2. CCleaner can also help. There is a lot of useless temporary files that your computer tends to hoard every now and then.
3. Buy some external hard drives. 1 TB can go for less than $50 on Amazon.

What OS do you have? Is the 120gb hard drive your primary/only one? 120gb is a little low nowadays.

Windows takes up about 60-70gb, since I have a dedicated solid state that has 80gb used up for that.

I would suggest getting another hard drive that is bigger to add to the computer. They aren't as much as they used to be, since you can get a 4tb for about $100.

>>1 Note down the license number, and find the revoke license option in the menus.

It should allow you to use your code on a new installation.
