HOW TO FREE UP DISK SPACE IN WINDOWS
Need to free up some disk space on your Windows PC? Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 provide a dedicated settings menu to make the process easier. From this menu, you can see how much space has been used on your device and by what type of content.

Windows’ Storage settings also allow you to clear space quickly and enable Storage Sense to remove temporary files and recycle bin items automatically. The process works similarly in Windows 10 and 11, though some of the screens and settings differ slightly.

OPEN STORAGE SETTINGS

Open Settings > System > Storage to view the total space you have available, what space has been used across different content and categories, and how much free space remains on your drive. Click Show more categories to see the storage used by additional types of content.

CONFIGURE STORAGE SENSE IN WINDOWS 10

Storage Sense is a feature built into Windows that can help free up space automatically by removing files you no longer need. Windows 10 users will find the Storage Sense option at the top of the Storage settings screen. Turn on the switch for Storage Sense, then click the Configure Storage sense or run it now link.
