Managing the resources is an important task since every resource in this world is limited. This is relevant for computer industry too as many hardware components are manufactured with the help of earthly materials. This article focuses on cleaning the system partition of the hard drive in Windows 10 to free up more space for the user.
Usually, it’s not recommended to manually dig into the system partition for cleaning its contents as even a single mistake might prove to be catastrophic for the whole system, but this article guides the user in such a way that there are no chances for any fallout, if these instructions are followed religiously.
There are many ways to clean the system partition to regain space out of the system partition, but ST Cleaner is the most efficient way to do so. The entire process is automated and error-free. There is virtually no risk of anything going wrong as ST takes extra care while scanning in sensitive areas.
Disk Cleanup tool is a fantastic aid to remove a lot of unnecessary files which aren’t usually deleted by third party software. This tool is an inbuilt one as it comes integrated into the Windows installation. However, it removes certain valuable contents such as memory dump files which are required for analyzing System Errors, Windows Update copies which aren’t really necessary but may prove useful if the user has to move back to the previous version in the future. Disk cleanup does allow the user to decide which content to remove.
Hibernation is a unique feature which allows the user to turn off the computer without actually shutting down the computer. So the computer can get back to the previous state within seconds when the user desires so. The advantage of this feature is it doesn’t close any programs that are opened as it stores the entire contents of the system memory in the hard drive and restores them when the user turns the system “on”. The disadvantage of this mode is that it consumes a significant amount of the hard drive which is roughly equal to the system memory. Let’s say if the system memory has 4GB space, then windows reserves 4GB in the hard drive for the hibernation mode.
Virtually memory helps the OS to use the space in the hard drive when the system memory runs out of space. This is extremely useful particularly for stuff like Games, 3D Software, Graphics Designing programs which are highly memory intensive. It’s a better idea to leave this option in its default state, but if space is an important factor and if the system memory is quite large then it’s fine to turn off the virtual memory. However, if the system memory runs out of space, Windows may crash or lead to the blue screen of death. Therefore, make sure Windows has enough system memory before turning this option off.
As the name implies, getting rid of unnecessary software from the system saves up a lot of space on the C Drive. This is particularly handy as every program is designed to install in the Windows drive by default unless the user chooses otherwise.
Windows features is a hidden section which expands the capability of the Windows operating system. Windows do have a lot of unnecessary features as far as the average user is concerned and they can be easily disabled through this section. And it will surely help regain a lot of disk space too.
