Performing a Disk Cleanup

Over time, Windows accumulates temporary files, system logs, and "leftovers" from updates that eat up valuable hard drive space.

  1. Search: Click the Start menu and type Disk Cleanup. Select the app.

  2. Select Drive: Choose your main drive (usually C:) and click OK.

  3. Analyze: The tool will calculate how much space you can save.

  4. Clean up System Files: For a deeper clean, click the Clean up system files button. This allows you to delete old Windows Update files.

  5. Execute: Check all the boxes (Temporary Files, Recycle Bin, etc.) and click OK > Delete Files.
