Computor Problem!!!!!! Anyone know what I should do?

Hello.... I need some advice out there.  With all the research of what Boat and Engine to buy.  Also all the supply shopping on Cabelas ,Amazon, etc etc etc.  My computor is saying it is out of Virtual Memory.  I have checked my computor and it says I still have 46% room. 
I notice that when I go to look up something like Evinrude motor....... it shows I have 88 files stored on my computor on Evinrude.  This must mean that ever time I went to the Evinrude site it stayed on my computor. 
We will be flying out of our lake in another 3 or 4 weeks so i can take my computor to be looked at then.....BUT IF ANTONE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE OFF ALL THESE STORED FILES>>>>COMMENT TO US.    Thanks a bunch
I've been on the computor lots trying to get it back to normal ....way too much time on the computor and it is driving me nuts.  Bryan has been cleaning up the yard, etc etc etc.  Lake is starting to candle.  Open for 20 feet alone shore.  The first goldeye's showed up this morning.  The first Mallard pair came yesterday.

This Beautiful Sunrise got us out of Bed at 6 am this Morning







We now have campfire coffee each morning outside ..... waiting,,, waiting,,,, for what might come into view.  Three mornings ago we watched a wolf cross the lake on the ice, saw the first big bumblebee, the first hummingbird and first robin.  Last night we saw the first ducks.....just got a glimpse.  We've seen black bears and a nice Boar Grizzly up on Bear Mountain (This is 12 days earlier than other years)   My tomatoes , pansies and broccoli plants are coming up.  Spring is coming. We now have close to 15 hrs of daylight

The First Trumpetor Fly Over Us Today

You hear the trumpetor way before you see it.  It circled and circled but there is no open water here yet.  Then is headed to the west end of the lake where it is open.  This is not a banded one.  We are really hoping that M81 will make it back. 
Our chickens where hesitant at first..... alot of clucking and chirping and discussing it amoung themselves but within half an hour they were out and having a great time.  I'm just placing a new order for 25 Rhode Island Red day old chicks from Miller Hatcheries for pickup in mid June when we are OUT. We've spent the last few days doing little stuff.  Bryan got all the traps back in perfect shape and they are now all hung for next season.  I've spent time on the computor ordering supplies and looking for the new jet jon boat we are going to buy, now that we just about have the quad trail down to the Inklin River.  (2 more kms to finish to make the skidoo trail into a quad trail.
You can see by the pics that we are now cabin bound.  Put this 3 or 4 weeks waiting for the ice to go off it a wonderful time.  All the birds come back and we see the Bears and the Goats.  The first giant Bumblebee was out 2 days ago ALSO THE FIRST GIANT MOSQUITO!!!!!!

Leaving Walker's Valley Line Cabin and heading to base camp

There can be no harder boss than oneself.  We had quessed we could do it in 21 days and it was 18.  The days when Bryan  milled for the three sided logs was the hardest but he just kept going and going.  It took about 56 pieces.  He says the next one will take less time because he learned alot of treaks.  The lake was a Steel Blue in colour but still solid when we crossed it early this morning.  Our four Highland Lynx cats had been left outside and boy where they happy to see us and Hannah.  We didn't even unpack the tobagan just went into the cabin and relaxed all day.

Waking up in our new cabin Day 17

The sun climbed over Centre Mountain at 7:50.  Our base camp is 12 km over this Mountain right where the sun is coming up.  We are so pleased with ourselves... We just smile and smile.  Bryan finished the wood storage porch using milled boards on the inside and slabs on the outside to cover the gaps but didn't put a door on it.  We are tired!!!!!!!  We went for a short ride to one of the Beaver Dam's ..  This is a small damn that the high water will take out.  But the Beavers are hard workers and will try to damn the main creek again.  Lots of puzzy Willows out.  We went to bed at dark because tomorrow we head back to camp early.  The sun is so hot now in the mid day 15 C that the lake might be a problem then. 

We're going to spend two Nights in the Wee Cabin in Walkers' Valley Day 16

Now this IS EXCITING!!!!  The Tobagans are all loaded and we are going to stay two nights in the wee cabin returning to base camp early in the morning when the lake ice is still hard.   We have to get everything locked up because this is the last trip.  I am armed with Bear Spray and a BIG BELL on my skidoo.  Bryan says I sound like a little plane towing a Church behind it.  But it will worn the Bears that we are on the trail and hopefully they will get off.  They use the skidoo trail because it is hard and the rest is getting soft.  We had no trouble getting up to the cabin.  Bryan made up the little table he had already fabricated and then he built the little kitchen area.  I was painting as quickly as I could.  Painted all the outside trim except the peaks which you'll see where no problem for Bryan.  Then he chainsawed up a set of stairs.
