Freeing up space by deleting junk files

Running out of free space on your computer's drive? Windows comes with a utility called Disk Cleanup, it allows you to delete unesessary files that are built up over time, such as temporary files, thumbnails, etc. Press ctrl + R (If your using a touch screen device without a keyboard, you can hold your finger on the taskbar, tap Task Manager, then File (If file is not displayed, tap More Details) then Run new task) and type in 'cleanmgr' (without quotes) and click/tap OK.

You'l then be asked which drive to clean up, your WIndows drive should be selected by default.

After disk clean up scans the drive, you'll be given a list of junk files that you can delete and how much space you can gain.

Select the things you want to delete and click OK. Having trouble? Send a comment about it below!
