If you are using Windows XP operating system and your hard disk capacity is running low, so if you are just reading this article, because I will it sharing in this article.
After switching to Windows XP from Windows 98, we will feel the difference in the remaining hard disk capacity after installing the operating system. Why? Because Windows XP use my hard disk capacity of 1.5 Gb. While my hard drive is only 6.4 GB. I was surprised, too, and finally after dealing with Windows XP for about a year, I feel that the rest of my hard drive is running low, to less than 650 mb on my C drive partition (I’ve added hard drive and I have 4 partitions).
I try to provide facilities that the Windows XP Disk Cleanup, which can be accessed via:
Accecories> System Tools> Disk Cleanup.
Then asked which disk drives to be cleaned, I choose C only. Then there are other questions where you can choose what action can be done to clean up your disk space.
I chose to compress old files (files that are rarely used or have not been used), membersikan internet temporary files, and temporary in general. After running the Disk Cleanup for a long time (because the compression process) I found the rest of my hard disk of 1.6 GB, so imagine my delight as free disk space is added by the Disk Cleanup utility. But of course this measure also depends on how many there are temporary files, files that are rarely used and how many temporary Internet files on your computer.
Additional info again … to increase your disk space is to adjust the disk space that can be used by System Restore. Although this facility is good, but if you need to set the disk space used by this facility so as not to spend your hard disk space with the facilities you seldom use.
You can set it via:
Control Panel> System> System Restore Tab
Then set a large space on each drive / partition that is to be used by system restore. If you believe that you may never use System Restore, then turn off this facility aja. You will find more disk space if the facility is turned off.
May be useful for those who read it.
