With the popularity of SSD, many DIY assembled computers or laptops are equipped with solid-state drives, but at present, the capacity of SSD is relatively small, mostly about 120-240GB, and many friends have only one solid-state hard drive to save money. As long as not zoning, everything is passable, those divided into zones, occasionally upgrade a game, install a software god horse, the sound of wailing will continue to be heard! But no matter how big the partition we give to disk C, Windows has a way to fill it up. Such as dormant files, system page files are easily GB-level, as well as system restore files, virtual memory, temporary download and storage locations when installing software, all on disk C.

How to lose weight on Win10 C disk? Total strategy of C disk cleaning and space saving method

Do not look at the Windows 10 just installed only a dozen GB, with irregular cleaning, easily get rid of the 50GB~60GB, if you put all kinds of software default on the C disk, that hundred GB can not stop ah!

So, if you can't expand the capacity of 120g solid state disk alone, you can only properly adjust the settings under Windows to ensure the space of disk C, you need to think about how to slim down disk C, while cleaning up garbage and space-saving optimization are some skills that users must master. The following is to share the Win10 C disk cleaning and space-saving methods of the complete strategy.

First, turn on Win10 automatic garbage cleaning function

Enter Win10 "setup" → "system" → "Storage", and then turn on "Storage Awareness" to allow Windows to automatically clean up temporary files.

Second, regularly clean up the junk files of disk C, more or less can free up GB-level space (especially after the Windows update).

Clean up garbage regularly, you can also clean up through 360 security guards, Baidu guards and other tools.

In addition, if your computer system is upgraded from Win7/8 to the latest Win10, and the C disk space is getting smaller and smaller, it is recommended to delete the Windows.old file, which can free up more than a dozen GB of storage space.

Windows.old file is a backup file of Win7/8 system created automatically when Win7/Win8 system upgrades Win10. Its size is generally larger than 5GB, and some even reach 10GB. Deleting this file will undoubtedly free up C disk space to a great extent.

3. Compress and clear Win10 hibernation files

Hibernation function, is a power-saving mode, when dormant, the system saves the data in memory in the hard disk, so that CPU also stops working. When you use it again, you need to press the switch key, and the machine will return to your state when you execute hibernation, without having to perform the complex process of starting Windows again.

In real life, most users rarely use this feature, not to mention the fact that the size of the hibernation file is almost the largest in the Windows system, so deleting it can definitely get twice the result with half the effort. The following is the method of compressing and cleaning Win10 hibernation files.

1, first use the Win + R combination shortcut key to open the run dialog box, then enter cmd and click "OK" at the bottom to open the command action box, as shown in the following figure.

Then in the CMD command box, enter or copy and paste the following command:

Powercfg hibernate size XX

Note: the "XX" at the end of the above command represents a percentage value, which ranges from 40 to 100. The recommended value is 40 or 80. Users can enter a value below 40 to keep the hibernation file size at 40% of the system memory size, as shown in the following figure.

Finally, the dormant file size changes after the values are 80 and 40 compression ratio, as shown in the figure.

80% and 40 & dormant file size after compressing command

You can even turn off sleep with the command: powercfg-h off.

By compressing / closing the dormant file, the system space can also be effectively released and the embarrassment of insufficient C disk can be alleviated.
