After installing Windows 10 the first thing that surprises you is that space consuming by this OS. The space will be much more than your predictions because of the policy of Microsoft. In this policy some of the files of your previous operating system are kept safe for a period of 30 days. This is because sometimes users want to switch back.
Now if you don’t have any such plan of switching back, you can delete those files from your system. This process is referred as Disk Cleanup and on an account it may clear about 20GB of your system memory approximately.
- Search for ‘Cleanup System Files’ in the ‘Start Menu’.
- Just after you hit enter the system will asks you to select any one drive from your computer from which you want to clean.
- You have to choose any one drive in which you had installed your Windows. After your selection the system first scans for the unnecessary files and come up with a list.
- Select only the option named ‘Previous Windows Installation’ and hit.
