The best way to tackle this issue is check where the problem lies, rather than upgrading the memory every time you run out of it. Running disk clean up regularly helps remove temporary files of all types. This is also easier as you need not physically hunt down each and every file and delete it. A disk cleaner automatically searches for such files, where all you need to do is give permission to delete them.

The next thing is to delete unnecessary files downloaded by you. Did you download some pictures or clips for a report or presentation? Small files of 1-100 kb may not look very conspicuous pleasantly sitting on your system; however they often occupy a large amount of space without you ever realizing it. It is best to delete such files once your report or presentation is over. You would only know the memory that was occupied once these files have been removed.

Next remove the files that you no longer need. Have you seen that 500 GB movie? Then remove it, as you are probably not likely to see it again for a while. Also, if these movies or games are available on a DVD with you, there is no need to save it on your system. Removing such files would free up a lot of space without you ever needing to upgrade it.

Remove all the cookies from your system. Cookies tend to occupy a lot of memory, even when not in use. Cookie is nothing but a small text file containing website information stored by a browser on your system, which is used for several purposes such as session tracking, authentication and so on. However, most of this information is not mandatory, as you would be allowed to browse even if the cookie for that website no longer exists. Thus, removing cookies will not harm your system, but only release some precious memory.

Following these tips would definitely help you free up some memory. It is important that these tasks are performed regularly, so you never run out of memory.
