Gradually, almost every user of a personal computer has a need to clean the C: drive from unnecessary files in Windows 7 (or another version of the operating system). A few simple guidelines will help you with this.
Instructions
Step 1
You can clean up the C drive of unnecessary files in Windows 7 by uninstalling unused applications. To do this, open the system service "Programs and Features" through the control panel (the link is available in the "Start" menu). Wait for a while as the service will update the current list of installed applications. Once the update is complete, for convenience, click on the date column to display the applications in the order in which they were installed.
Step 2
Pay attention to the programs you are not using. These can be computer games, outdated versions of Adobe applications, or other unnecessary components. Many of these can take up gigabytes of hard drive space, reducing free space. Select one of the programs and click Remove or Change. After that, the uninstallation service will start, follow its instructions to complete the uninstallation process. Repeat this step with all unnecessary applications in Programs and Features.
Step 3
Use the Disk Cleanup service of the same name to clean the C: drive from unnecessary files in Windows 7. You can find it through the Start menu in the System Tools folder (among the installed programs). Select the checkboxes for the components you want to remove (mostly system junk), and click "Clean". You will see that this will free up quite a lot of space on the C drive.
Step 4
Open the main menu and click on the folder with the username (below the image) to go to the user files section. Open the "Downloads" (or Downloads) folder and delete from here downloaded from the Internet and not used for a long time. Do the same with the contents of the "Music" and "Movies" folders, sending all unnecessary items to the trash can. Do not forget to empty the trash bin on your desktop, otherwise the files sent to it will still take up space on your hard drive.
Step 5
Try running one of the free programs for cleaning the C: drive from unnecessary files in Windows 7, for example, CCleaner, Final Uninstaller, SpeedUpMyPC, or the like. They can be found and downloaded on the Internet. A huge plus of using these applications is that you do not have to search for and delete unnecessary files on your hard disk yourself - the programs will do this automatically and in just a couple of clicks. In addition, many programs leave various files on the disk even after deletion, so applications for cleaning the C: drive from garbage become simply necessary, as they quickly and thoroughly remove all traces.
