How to Free Up Space Using Disk Cleanup in Windows

Access Disk Cleanup:
- Press Windows + S to open Search and type Disk Cleanup.
- Click on the Disk Cleanup app from the search results to open it.
Select the Drive to Clean:
- When the Disk Cleanup utility opens, select the drive you want to clean (usually C:) and click OK.

Select Files to Delete:
- Disk Cleanup will calculate how much space you can free up.
- Once the scan is complete, a list of file categories will appear.
- Check the boxes next to the files you want to delete. You can also click on Clean up system files to access additional options.
Delete the Selected Files:
- After selecting the files to delete, click OK.
- A prompt will appear asking if you're sure you want to delete the selected files. Click Delete Files to confirm.

Advanced Cleanup (Optional):
- For more in-depth cleanup, you can run Disk Cleanup in System Files mode, which removes unnecessary system files like old Windows updates and system restore points that you no longer need.

By using these steps, you can easily free up space on your Windows computer using the built-in Disk Cleanup tool.
