To delete system files and free up space on your computer, you can follow these steps:
1. First, open the Start menu by clicking on the Windows icon located at the bottom left corner of your screen.
2. From the Start menu, select “Settings.” It is represented by a gear icon.
3. In the Settings window, you will find various categories. Look for “System” and click on it.
4. Within the System settings, you will see several options on the left-hand side. Choose “Storage” from the list.
5. Now, you are in the Storage settings, which will provide you with an overview of your storage usage. You will see a list of different categories such as Apps & games, Documents, Pictures, etc.
6. To configure the Storage Sense feature, which automatically deletes temporary files to free up space, click on the “Configure Storage Sense or run it now” link.
7. Under the Temporary Files section, you will find different types of files that can be deleted. These files include Temporary files, Downloads folder, Recycle Bin, and more. Select the time period for each of these files to be deleted automatically. You can choose from options like “Every day,” “Every week,” “Every month,” or “Never.”
8. If you prefer to delete unnecessary files manually, you can scroll down to the “Free up space now” section. Here, you will find an option to “Clean now.” Click on it, and Windows will start scanning your system for unnecessary files that can be deleted.
Remember, the time it takes to complete the cleaning process depends on the amount of data on your computer and the speed of your hardware.
By following these steps, you can either configure Storage Sense to automatically delete temporary files or manually clean up unnecessary files using the Clean now option. This will help you free up space on your computer and keep it running smoothly.
