Win8 increases the C disk space skills

Generally speaking, the disk capacity is fixed, but you can increase the disk space by releasing some files, this is the Win8 C disk space cleaning. This article will introduce the skills of Win8 to increase disk space.

concrete steps:

(please show hidden and system protected files, settings I believe we all know, will not go before the start)

Step 1:

. Delete the system's own application backup (for the 64-bit system can save 1GB + space, I saved 1.6GB)

Here to see clearly, the deletion is only the system's own backup, we also remember to install the system After that, the system itself has a lot of built-in applications,

but the system comes with the application to be updated, the old version will remain after the update.

Caused a waste of space. After deleting the backup, it does not affect the application to install the app in the app store.

The deletion is very simple~

(1) First uninstall the Metro App you don't need under the Metor interface

(2) Open all applications that you have not uninstalled (do this step, remember)

(3) Open cmd with administrator mode, enter DISM.exe /Online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages

He will display all the apps that come with the system to uninstall, and then type:

DISM.exe /Online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName

Wait a moment, then the system The included App backups are all deleted,

Not finished yet, the files in the C drive directory still exist after deletion,

(4) Go to C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps Delete all files,

but remember to have a few folders to exclude (this will know why you need the second step, so you don't accidentally delete the application you don't want to uninstall

if Prompt that the file is in use, you choose to skip it)

They are:

Microsoft.Media.PlayReadyClient

Microsoft.VCLibs

Microsoft.WinJS

You will find that these three have multiple versions, you You can delete the old version, but remember not to delete the highest version, do not see the consequences of random deletion at your own risk! !

Step 2:

Delete the msi temporary decompression directory (saving the amount of space to see the specific number of software installations in the computer)

(1) Delete the C:\\Windows\\Installer directory Under the $PatchCache$ folder,

Do not delete other files in this directory, otherwise the software will not be uninstalled!

(2) After deleting the $PatchCache$ folder, right-click on the Installer right-click property, Advanced,

to save disk space. It only stores redundant information of the software,

So compressing them does not affect system performance

3. Zero-byte backup directory (saving about 300MB space)

The directory is in C:\\Windows\\WinSxS\\Backup, and the files inside are all zero-byte.

Remember that the files inside can't be deleted. If you delete them, you will not be able to install the patches in the future.

is the sp package, but we can zero-byte it! This takes almost no space and can be safely updated~

This is the zero-byte batch code (bat):

For /r C:\\Windows\\WinSxS\\Backup\\ %% i in (*.*) DO type nul 》 %%i

pause

Create a new text document on the desktop, copy the blue code above to the newly created text document

Change the suffix name of the newly created text document to bat,

Finally run as administrator

4. Delete Download download backup (about 500MB or more, depending on the situation)

Windows updates will leave a large number of update temporary files in this directory, and

and the cache of apps downloaded from the app store will also be aggregated here. So you can delete this folder regularly.

The Download folder is under: C:\\Windows\\SoftwareDistribution

I am providing a safe solution that does not streamline any system components. Everyone can do it with peace of mind.

Does not affect system stability, does not affect post-patches

5. Delete win8 hiberfil.sys file (can save 1.54G)

(1) Turn off quick start first . How to close? Then keep watching!

Right click on the task bar at the bottom right of the computer screen and select the power option —— select the function of the power button —— change the currently unavailable settings, then in the shutdown settings, cancel &ldquo ; user quick start & rdquo; options, application save.

(2) Open cmd with administrator mode

Enter powercfg /hibernate off Enter to turn off hibernation

If you want to re-open hibernation later

Open cmd with administrator mode

Enter powercfg /hibernate on Enter to go to sleep

6. Move the pagefile.sys file of the C drive to other disks (ie virtual memory)

The above is the skill of Win8 to increase the C disk space. In total, you can increase the space of 5 or 6G, and you can install several large games.
