Conserving disk space
Your XO laptop can store a limited number of files on its 1 GB flash disk drive. You should maintain your
XO so that it does not run out of storage space for new files. You can delete some items by using the
Journal Activity.
To clear out space for more files:
1. Go to the Home view and click the Journal icon.
2. Look for files that you can delete, such as old files or large files that you have copied to another
location.
1. In general, video and audio media files and some PDF files or e-books are larger than
individual Write activity files or still photographs.
2. The Browse activity may download more than one copy of a PDF or media file if you
do not realize you have already downloaded it. Delete duplicates to save space
3. Select a file by clicking on its wide bar. This will give you a preview of the activity or file. If you
want to delete it, click the Erase button (minus sign). If you want to resume using it, click on the
large box on the right.
