How can i clear A LOT of space on my computer, for free?
My computer is about 5 years old, and has just recently been fixed. I do not have but maybe 2 programs i've downloaded, but it saids only 180 mb of space is left out of 37.2 gb. Any help would be niceHow can i clear A LOT of space on my computer, for free?
Disk maintenance helps good performance and disk life.
Once every 3 months run the 'disk check' which will look for physical problems on the Hard Drive disk sectors.
For XP do this: Start%26gt; my computer%26gt; right click 'c' drive%26gt; properties%26gt; tools%26gt; error check: here check both boxes, then OK. The next time you cold boot your system, this process will run (maybe 30-60 minutes) fixing disk errors(if any).
Another disk performance item is to 'compress contents' and 'allow index service'. These help optimize file recovery speed %26amp; save disk space.
Start%26gt; my computer%26gt; right click 'c' drive%26gt; properties%26gt; general tab: here check both boxes %26amp; 'OK'.
Don't freak out, it may say 3 days or more to run, but this time drops dramatically as the process advances; just walk away and let 'er run for the duration: it will self close when done.
Depending on the files %26amp; sizes, it may take several hours to do (maybe do it at night before bed?).
When done, run 'CCleaner' %26amp; defrag the drive.How can i clear A LOT of space on my computer, for free?
If you have Windows XP, and use system restore, system restore can take up a lot of room on your hard drive. You can turn this off by right click my computer, properties, system restore tab. On this same tab you could just limit the amount of disk space it uses if you want to still use system restore. Reboot to see the result.
Also if your computer can ';hibernate'; this takes up a LOT of space on your hard drive. You can also turn this off. First click on Start button, Control Panel, click on Performance and Maintenance then click on Power Options. Uncheck the box enable hibernation. Reboot and check your disk space (My computer, right click the drive in question, then left click properties.
You can also resize the amount of disk space reserved for the recycle bin by left clicking on it and properties, then move the slider to a smaller space reserve.
You would definitely need to defrag the drive at this point.
For the purposes of this answer, I will assume you to have a basic understanding of Windows Explorer and directories. If this is not the case, this could be a good learning experience.
First, install any programs you never use. Also, be sure uninstall any useless programs that came with it when you bought it, such as trial programs.
Next, download and install the free SequoiaView software from here: http://w3.win.tue.nl/nl/onderzoek/onderz…
Run it and you can examine the files on your hard drive to see what is taking up your disk space. Make sure you know which files go with what, then remove all programs and directories that you no longer need.
I also recommend Ccleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/download
I've been 'the computer guy' where I work for over 23 years, and this is what I use to see what is taking up the space.
first go to the control panel on your computer then click performance and maintains then click rearrange items on your hard drive to make the programs run faster(this is your disk defragmenter) basically your computer will compact all programs and put them together so they are not scattered on your hard drive this will not only give you more memory space on your computer but it will also make your computer run faster also think about deleting files and programs that you no longer use hope this helps
CCleaner is a really good software. I believe it's free. Also try going to My Computer on your desktop, right click your hard drive, click properties, then click the tools section, then click defragment. This may take a few hours. It would be best if you did this thru the night.
Install this program click on ';Care ';.
Now your computer will be serviced completely. You do not have to do anything yourself
