In any Windows system, cluttering a hard driveis one of the biggest problems. But you can free up space on system disk C in Windows 10 by several interesting methods, by the way, some of them are simply not available in systems of rank below. It is worthwhile to consider all the main methods available, which will speed up the work of the entire OS.
First, let's figure out what is actually connected with the fact that the place on the system disk or in the logical partition is catastrophically decreasing.
The question of how to free up hard disk space in Windows 10 can mean several basic solutions, the main of which are those:
Based on this, several standard solutions can be offered.
The first thing to pay attention to the moment associated with installing the tenth version in the form of an upgrade over the existing seventh or eighth.
The download itself during the installation of a newsystem product takes about 30 GB or more. In addition, the files on the old OS are stored on the hard disk for 30 days in case the user is going to refuse Windows 10 and return the previous running system with all the installed applications and settings.
Thus, the solution of the problem under consideration(how to clean system disk C in Windows 10) most often comes down to removing the installation files of the new system and the remaining components of the old one. To do this, use the standard disk cleaning tool, which can be accessed through the PCM menu on the selected partition in the usual "Explorer". Simply press the clear button, then highlight the necessary components and click the delete button.
In some cases, you can usecleaning system files. Only here it is necessary to be as cautious as possible. You can also easily get rid of old copies of Windows 10 if you were installing a new build of the system (it was the assembly of Windows 10, not the tenth version instead of the seventh or eighth).
They are stored in a special folder Windows.old. Again, just deleting the directory from Explorer is not recommended. It is better to use a standard cleaning agent.
But it was in the tenth version that there were interestingsettings related to the storage partition. You can free up space on the C-drive (Windows 10) in it. To do this, you need to use the options menu and the system partition where the "Storage" item is selected.
Here the priority is the parameterautomatic memory control (you just need to move the slider to the on position). If you enter the advanced settings, you can specify which files will be deleted without user intervention (unused or those that have been moved to the Recycle bin and are there for more than 30 days). Simultaneously, you can instantly clean up by pressing the corresponding button.
There is another effective method that allowsfree up space on the C drive in Windows 10, which is to take advantage of the tools to remove unnecessary programs. To do this, use either the options menu with the application section or the standard program and component tool located in the Control Panel, which you can call the fastest way through the "Run" console by entering the control command.
As an additional tool, you can use the removal of installed updates through the specified partitions or even driver updates.
You can free up disk space C in Windows 10 anddue to the uninstallation of the "sewn" system programs supplied from the "Store". Own tools in the form of command line and PowerShell console look rather complicated, so it's easiest to use special uninstallers like iObit Uninstaller.
In this application, you must use the(Win Manager), go to the installed Windows applications, select the component and delete it. You can apply a batch removal, which consists in the fact that several programs will be uninstalled at the same time. At the end of the standard uninstallation process, it is recommended to use the powerful scanning mode, which will identify unnecessary remnants in the form of directories, files or even registry keys. All results are deleted using the destruction function.
In browsers, garbage accumulates the fastest.Even if the user accidentally called Edge or Internet Explorer, not to mention other browsers, the cache and temporary files will still be saved, because they do not have a blank page by default.
However, in any browser you can enter the settingsand use the items to clear the history of visits. But when deleting all temporary components, it is desirable to specify the cleaning not in the last day or hour, but from the very beginning. The same can be done with the help of uninstallers, along with removing all the unnecessary panels, extensions and add-ins that are present in web browsers (which is much preferable due to the complete removal of the remainders, not to mention the uninstallation of virus or adware applications).
Finally, it remains to add that ifthe computer is installed some optimizer program, the case is simplified even more. It's enough just to start cleaning the system in the automatic mode (for example, in the application CCleaner or similar), after which all the garbage found will be deleted. But in general, the first thing to do is to get rid of the heavy files and folders that remain from both the old systems and the updates of the current OS. But the backup copies that are used for recovery, it is not recommended to delete it in any case. You can do this only when, for example, a copy of the system partition is stored on an external drive or system recovery is planned to be done exclusively from a removable media.
