@@Baris2349 yes, it is to free space, but it’s also important to know what you are deleting. He can see some files as not important, but for some people those files could be important to them. It’s best to know everything that is happening to your computer if you follow a tutorial video.
@@gr4vitational well I mean he’s made a lot of videos abt this and he does say that if you want to keep the windows old thing then you should but besides that everything is safe to delete
deleting temps is fine but 1. the prefetch helps the system bring up programs & files faster on startup and it's a myth that clearing it helps performance it helps the system know your routine to do it quicker (wasn't even 20MB anyways) , 2. the winsat is windows system assessment manager deleting this could actually cause problems! 3. Don't optimise your main drive if it's an M.2 NVME or SATA SSD as optimisation is to defrag old hard drives solid states don't need defrag!, 4.only delete software distribution files if your power or restart doesn't show there are updates ready for install or you'll have to wait for it to redownload them to update your windows. hmm yeah I think that covers it strangely there was less than half a gig in most of these locations! kinda surprised my nvidea shader cache was only 400MB I must of cleaned it in the recent past! but i've only had the gpu almost a yr
The Prefetch Folder opens the last state of any software that was open or used. If you had a problem you knew nothing about, then it can be a hidden nightmre. It is good practice to always empty this folder. You will not lose any significant software loading times. SSD drives do need defraging, it's called 'TRIM'. Turn off write cache and indexing on SSD's, this will help prolong their lives, especially if you are a DAW user and use sample libraries. There will always be conflicts after updating your Windows OS. Get your facts right, you don't know what your talking about.
@@Heather0421 That's up to you, most people do a complete OS install when aquiring a 2nd hand computer. Mostly for security reasons. Do not use registry cleaners.
i think deleting something in C: folder makes my computer's software loading slower idk why, it doesn't slow the performance of the computer, but its just slowing the software's loading. can someone tell me why and how to fix it
Ive tried other vids that haven't worked but Dude, just wanna say thanks for this vid, I use DJI & Filmora a lot for MC vlogs on my TH-cam channel & couldn't find where the files were being stored, I'm still learning, anyway you helped me remove nearly 200GB hahaha, 🎉🎉
NEED HELP : I did everything, but somehow only cleaned ≈2gb on my local disq (but I deleted 5gb from my bin??). My surface also looks like its lagging even more than before… any tips?
Do i delete everything that pops up with the size search as well or do i need to pick and choose? files 20+ gigs make me think they're important lol ( starpak files for apex legends )

I installed rdr 2 and it did not extract in my pc so deleted the file but don’t knw how about 200 gb of my pc did not come back so followed u r steps now I freed 342 gb of data thanks
I got 1gb which is actually good because my computer is bugging because I have 4 apps and 57 gb(my total GBs) full for some reason so normally the best I can get is 1 gb so thank you 🙏
I tried that but it didn't work. I only have 199 MB free on my laptop. I have alot of screenshots. Do I have to delete them to free up more storage space? Do I have to delete my artwork and photos to free up space?
Ive deleted all sorts of stupid shit and it shows it hasnt saved ANY space. Pc is just fucking garbage i dont understand why people are still stupid enough to buy them. Ive deleted all sorts of files,caches,steam bullshit and etc and it amounted to nothing. Whoever developed the software for pc shouldnt be any fucking where near technology.
