![]() So deleting those is only helpful for a short while. Note, the one checkbox i never bother picking from "Disk Clean up" is the one called "Thumbnails", because Windows will literally just create those all over again soon as you open a folder on your computer with image files in it or other media files which display previews. Sometimes you need to reboot to get the full benefit of doing this, but even without rebooting you should still be able to free up a lot of space. It'll ask if you're sure you want to delete all those files. Below System Restore and Shadow Copies, choose Cleanup. Review each of the categories, including Temporary files, Large or unused files, Files. Once your computer is finished cleaning, select 'More Options'. Select Start > Settings > System > Storage > Cleanup recommendations. If you read all-the-words you will see a spot where it tells you "Total amount of disk space you will gain" from doing the clean up. Right click the hard drive that’s running low on space and select Properties. click the "Clean up System Files" too.Īfter that more check boxes should open up (where you check marked things above). So go through the list and checkmark everything. *everything* in Disk Cleanup is safe to delete, altho by default not everything is checkmarked. on the "General" tab pick "Disk Cleanup".Īfter clicking that it'll take a few moments for windows to go through the process of telling you what can be cleaned up. you can try going to your computer/this pc and then right-clicking on your harddrive (like C:). Your hard disk drive will get fragmented over time. Turn on your PC and check if the drive is working. Connect the drive to the PSU (Power Supply Unit) using the SATA Power Cable. Connect the drive to your motherboard using the appropriate Data Cable. ![]() Originally posted by Low Flo:thanks so much that'll come in handy but are there any free ways to free up disk space ?
