[Software] Delete these 5 files from Windows and you will free up a lot of space on your hard drive

[Draeno]

 

Windows takes up a lot of hard drive space, more than we would like, sometimes. This makes the PC run slower and slower over time. In order for the PC to work without problems, it is necessary to make sure that we have enough space so that it can work without problems. For this reason, today we are going to talk about 5 files and folders that are part of Windows, that are leaving us without space and that, luckily, we can eliminate without problems.

First of all, we must indicate that, although the process is safe, and it is also carried out from Windows itself, without programs or strange configurations, there is always that small possibility that something goes wrong and could give us other problems. The changes are easily reversible, in case we have to undo any of the changes.

Windows.old, copies of old versions
One of the folders that takes up the most space on our PC is Windows.old. The old version of Windows is stored in this folder just before upgrading to a new version of the operating system. It is necessary to go back in case the new update gives us problems and works badly. And, although generally Windows itself should delete it after a while, when we can no longer go back, in reality this is not always the case, and it is one of the reasons why we waste computer space.

To eliminate it, we can do it from the Windows Storage Sensor, or from the PC cleaning tool. After deleting it, we will see that we have about 30 GB more free space.
