what takes up space and save disk space
Hard disks have to be more beautiful and bigger, we always need more space on our computers. Even operating systems are greedy disk space and Windows 10 is no exception to the rule.
To monitor what takes up space on the hard drive (or SSD) Windows 10 has a storage monitoring tool. When looking to save space and optimize the speed of the system, can also be found easily with the Disk Cleanup tool. Let's see how it works.
First go into the system settings check what is the size of the current disk space. Open the settings, go to the "System" section.
There, look for the subheading "Storage Wizard" and click on the area totaling the remaining disk space:
On this page you can control what elements that occupy the most space:
With these tools, you now know what that takes more space and you can delete some files like photos or videos such as by sorting. But there is also a way to recover some disk space by cleaning up system files and removing Windows restore points that accumulate.
To do this, we need to access the Disk Cleanup tool. For example it is accessible from the Windows search or via the search area parameters with the keywords "Disk Space" and "Free up disk space by deleting unnecessary files":
This tool is also accessible through the properties of your C: \ drive:
Once opened cleaning tool, going deeper into the system by clicking on "Clean up system files":
Check all the options in the list but do not confirm yet. Warning, this has the effect of emptying your trash, it is part of the options.
Now click on the "More Options" tab. Here you have the possibility to remove and restore other backup elements points. Do this cleaning when the system is working properly. Click "Clear", wait a moment if the mouse does not respond, and validate.
Windows 10 cleans temporary files. The disk space gain is immediately visible in the storage wizard tool parameters.
