INTRODUCTION

Unnecessary files might be hogging your disk space. For example, the Recycle Bin houses files that you have deleted but are still kept in case you need them. You can easily get rid of these and other files and gain some disk space by using Disk Cleanup.

TIP

Review Files

You can view the files that are recommended for removal. Select the files you want to view, and then click the View Files button.

WARNING!

Be sure you don't need any of these files. You cannot get them back after they are removed.
