There is also a final mention, a few folders that should not be deleted, pay attention to it!
1. Clean up the system cache and temporary files
The space of C drive is getting smaller and smaller, in fact, because of the use of cache of the system and the accumulation of junk files, want to clean up the C drive, to achieve the purpose of space freeing, in fact, there are many ways, next, I will talk about how to use the cleaning function of Windows to free up C drive space.
1. First tap [windows+R] to open and run
2. Enter the [%temp%] character in the input box and click Enter
3. At this time, the system will pop up a window full of folders, which are basically filled with temporary files and caches, where files can be deleted.
4. Select the window and directly press [Ctrl+A] to select all
5. Finally, press [shift+delete] to delete (the [shift+delete] key combination is permanently deleted, so that there is no need to clean up in the recycle bin)
It should be noted that if you delete normally, you must go to the recycle bin to clean it again, otherwise it cannot be deleted cleanly, and I personally recommend that you directly [shift+delete] to save trouble.
Second, clean up the old files after the system update
Because the Windows system is frequently updated, the updated old files will be saved in the C drive in order to roll back when encountering bugs, but when ordinary people encounter system bugs, they basically reinstall the system, so the files in this regard have no meaning.
1. First, right-click [C drive], select the attribute option and open
2. Find [General] page [Disk Cleanup] and click to enter
3. Click [Clean System Files] in the lower left corner
4. After waiting for the system to automatically calculate, you can see the file type and occupied space, of which [previous Windows installation] is the focus that needs to be cleaned up
5. Check it, click [Confirm], and then click [Delete File] to OK.
3. Delete and transfer chat software cache - QQ and WeChat
The files you run on QQ and WeChat will be saved in the C drive, and some friends who often chat with the computer, this aspect is estimated to account for the majority, so at this time it is necessary to clean up or transfer to other disk storage, here WeChat as an example.
1. Open WeChat [Settings]
2. Select [File Management] and [Open Folder]
3. Open the [FileStorage] folder, the [Image] and [Video] folders in it are to store the pictures and video files of the chat, and delete them according to your own needs
4. Finally, change the WeChat file storage path, click [Change], select the folder of other disks and click to confirm, you can achieve the purpose of transfer.
4. Change the desktop path
Many friends like to put a variety of files and icons on the desktop, resulting in the pressure of C drive multiplied, to know that desktop files are directly saved in C drive, so it is necessary to change the desktop path to achieve the effect of freeing up space
1. First create a [Desktop] folder on another disk for later file access (note that you should create a new drive letter other than the C drive, you don't want to see an operation as fierce as a tiger, but looking back is a scene of 255~)
2. Click [This Computer], find the [Desktop] option, right-click to open the [Properties] window, and find the [Location] option
3. Find the [Move] option at the bottom of the path and click to go in
4. Select the newly created desktop folder in the first step, then return to the previous window, click [Apply] and [Confirm], and wait for the run to complete
Note: Other files such as videos, pictures, documents, music, etc. can be processed by this method to facilitate further placement of C drive space
5. Clean up temporary files
Long-term use of the computer will produce a lot of temporary files, which will take up some space on the computer disk, so you should delete it
1. Click Start - Settings - System - Storage (here [Applications and Functions] contains the applications we store on the computer, which can delete some unnecessary software, and [Documents] with QQ and WeChat files)
2. Click [Temporary Files], the system will automatically scan, and then list the files that can be deleted immediately
3. Select the file you want to delete and click [Delete File].
6. Modify the virtual memory storage location
Virtual memory can relieve space pressure when the computer is low on memory, but it also occupies system space to a certain extent, so we can place virtual memory in other drive letters
1. Select [This Computer] and right-click, select [Advanced System Settings] in the [Properties] interface to enter. Then click [Settings], switch to [Advanced] options, and finally click [Change]
2. Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size" above the pop-up window, select C drive, check "No paging file" at the bottom left and click [Settings]
3. Click "Yes" after the pop-up window appears, then click D drive, check "System Management Size", click Settings, and finally click Confirm.
7. Turn on the automatic cleaning function
The computer comes with an automatic cleaning function, which can regularly clean the Recycle Bin and junk files, all we need to do is open it and set the cleaning interval
1. Click Start--Settings--System--Storage, turn on the storage-aware function, and click [Configure Storage Awareness or Run Now]
2. Select the automatic cleaning time in the configuration, and your computer will automatically clean up those unwanted temporary files and recycle bin files at a fixed time.
8. Third-party software cleanup
I don't like to use third-party software to clean up the C drive space, don't ask, ask is lazy, if necessary, search online
One last word
1. Files with [program date] and [drivers] in the name cannot be deleted, the former is a game save, and the latter is a driver
2. Files with [system], lwindows), and [amd] in their names are system-related files, don't touch them.
