CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 205

An application is not responding on a user's workstation. After doing some research, a technician determines the drive is out of space. Which of the following should the technician do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Implement storage alerts to be notified if it happens again.
• B. Run diagnostics and review the system logs.
• C. Ask the user what happened before the application stopped responding.
• D. Identify files that can be deleted or removed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as identifying and removing unnecessary files is the immediate action needed to free up space. Options A and B are proactive measures for future issues but do not resolve the current problem. Option C does not address the drive space issue and instead seeks information about past events.
