How to get more disk space easily?


The following are three main methods to get more disk space easily:

1. To reduce the amount of disk space allocated to the Recycle Bin:

1) Right-click on the Recycle Bin's icon on your desktop.

2) Click Properties.

3) On the Global property sheet, move the slider to the left to decrease the percentage of hard drive space that your system allocates to the Recycle Bin for your deleted files (the default is 10%). Keep in mind, however, that if you delete files that are larger than the amount of space available in the Recycle Bin, they'll be deleted immediately from your computer, instead of being temporarily housed in your Recycle Bin, as they normally would. 4) Click OK to close the dialog box.

2. To reduce disk space used by Windows system restore:

1) Right-click My Computer.

2) Click Properties.

3) Click System Restore tab.

4) Click Settings.

5) Move the slider to the left to decrease the percentage of hard drive space that your system allocates to the System Restore. You should know that to decrease the disk space may reduce the number of available restore points.

6) Click OK.

Note: if you don't want to use system restore, you can check "Turn off System Restore on all drives" box. In that way, you can get even more disk space.

3. To reduce disk space used by temporary internet file:

1) Launch Internet Explorer.

2) Select the Tools from the menu bar.

3) Then select Internet Options from the drop down menu.

4) Once the internet options has loaded click on the general tab.

5) Under the browser history section click the settings button.

6) A settings window will load.

7) Reduce the amount of space to any you like.

8) Click Ok.

The above are the three methods that you can get lots of disk space back. In the meantime, you can also delete temp files or uninstall unused programs.
