Methods to Free Disk Space in a Computer

Following are T he Few Methods to Free Disk Space in a Computer 1. Use Revo Uninstaller (the f ree version) to remove sof tware programs, game demos and other stuf f that you no longer use. Revo has a usef ul hunter mode to help you uninstall programs that are not listed in the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel. 2. Use CCleaner to quickly clear your Windows recycle bin , temporary Internet files,log files, memory dumps and other stubborn files that dont show up in Windows Explorer. CClean also provides an option to clean your unused Windows Registry keys and your browser cookies but that wont save any disk space.

or Click the Windows Start button and type disk cleanup then a popbox will show like this then Select the drive to clean up 3. Use either WinDirStat or Space Sniffer to locate f iles that are taking the maximum amount of space on your hardisk and either erase the unnecessary ones or move them to another partition. You may also use Windows Desktop Search to easily f ind the largest f iles on your system f rom Windows Explorer. 4. Another Method is use Duplicate Cleaner to f ind duplicate f iles on your hard disk. T hese may include videos, documents, MP3s, zip archives, images and all other types of f iles. Duplicate Cleaner compares the MD5 hash of f iles not just the f ile names or their byte size and is thus pretty accurate at identif ying duplicates. Another good alternative f or removing duplicates is Duplicate File Finder this is more suitable f or novice users. 5. Get Rid of the Shadow Copies.

what is shadow copies ? When you install new software program, update device drivers or apply patches and hot-f ixes on your computer, Windows will automatically store a snapshot of your system bef ore making the changes. T his helps because if something stops working af ter the installation, you can easily restore your system to the last working state. So Windows also stores backup copies of data f iles (like documents, pictures, etc.) on your computer which may come really handy if you accidentally modif y or delete the original f iles. Technically, these are known as shadow copies and the f eature is available in all editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. If you have been using your computer f or some time, the disk space consumed by these restore points and shadow copies may easily run in gigabytes. You can either remove all the restore points f rom your system or, if you would like to play extra saf e, you can keep the new restore points and just get rid of the old ones. Click the Windows Start button and type cmd in the search box (not the Run dialog). Now press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open the command prompt with Administrator privileges. Click Yes if you are shown the User Access Control Window. Now type the f ollowing command to remove only the old shadow copies: c:>vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: /oldest Or, if your system is working normally, use this command to remove all the shadow copies. c:>vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: /all
