Tools/Materials

Windows 8/Windows 8.1

Methods/Steps

Disk Cleanup: Go to Computer Explorer - Right C drive - Properties - Disk Cleanup - Clean up system files, view the footprint of each resource and check the cleanup, paying particular attention to previous Windows installations, ie Windows old folder, when the system is installed without formatting the system disk will put the previous system files into the Windows old folder, the capacity is very large

Virtual memory: virtual memory will allocate part of the hard disk space as Virtual memory usage, in the form of page files, generally takes up 2G-4G. If your computer's physical memory reaches 4G or above, you can consider canceling the virtual memory settings.

System Protection: Right-click computer icon-attribute-system protection-configuration-disable, delete generated system protection file

Hibernate file: use shortcut key Win+X-command prompt (Administrator) Input: powercfg -h off, enter, can close and delete the hibernation file

Enlarge the partition: The most fundamental solution is to expand the capacity of the C drive partition. At present, most mechanical hard disks operate in such a way that the outer ring rotates faster than the inner ring, and the system partition is the C disk in the outermost circle, so the software is installed to the C drive to start and read the fastest. Xiaobian suggested using partition software such as partition assistant to adjust the capacity of C drive to 70-150G.

Lost 20G: If the C drive loses 20G or tens of G for no reason, check the file. If the size of the clip is not correct, it may be that the system protection gate value is too large to be occupied.

The computer icon of the right-click desktop-attribute-system protection-configuration can see that the current system protection usage is 25.26G, the upper limit The gate is 75.63G, so each time you install/uninstall the software, it will automatically back up and create a restore point to occupy

Click to delete and set the upper limit gate to 10G or less.

Note Matters

The above method is to close some system services to improve the space, it is not recommended to use, it is recommended to expand the capacity of the C drive

The above is Win8/Win8.1 C disk space is getting smaller /The system consumes too much space, I hope to help everyone!
