Re: Disk Cleanup

Hi Shawn, nice tutorial but there's an easy way to access disk cleanup,
Click start>run and type cleanmgr and press enter.

Re: Disk Cleanup

Hello Kavita,

Yes, that was already there as step 2, but I cleaned it up a bit more to make it stand out better.

Thank you,
Shawn

Re: Disk Cleanup

Hello Dylana,

You can check all of them, except Hibernation File since you are using Hibernate, to be deleted if you would like to. It will not hurt anything since they are just junk files.
