I was asked the other day about how to run disk cleanup so you can gain space on your hard drive.
The following instructions apply to Windows 8 but the same principles apply to 7 & Vista.
First go to your start menu and click on computer
You will now see your hard drives and so for the basis of this we will use the C drive
Then right click on the hard drive that you want to run disk clean up on and select properties.
This will give you the following screen
Now click on ” Disk Cleanup” and the following screen will appear.
You will be given a selection of options for you to remove , nearly all are safe to do so however if you have the option to remove office setup files ” DONT ” and if you have the option to compress files on your hard drive ” DONT”.
Finally press ” Delete Files” and you will have gained some hard drive space.
