[FIX]HOW TO FREE UP HDD SPACE AFTER WINDOWS 10 INSTALLATION

Anyone who has installed the latest  version of Microsoft's flagship operating system,Windows 10 will tell you that Microsoft Did a good job in delivering a solid Operating system unlike the shambles that was windows 8,And subsequently Windows 8.1,the former that was meant to fix all the things that windows 8 fell short of..And it wasn't any better.
Until Windows 10 came along.


It Has to be the best operating system in along time from Microsoft.I haven't had any issues ever since I Installed it.Its been 7 Months of Problem free experience.
The only issue Has to be Deleting the windows.old folder in your C; Drive..Essentially when you install windows 10,Microsoft gives you a month for you to decide whether  you want to give windows 10 a try or go back to your previous OS(Look away now Gamers)
This means there are actually not one but two operating systems on your Machine.This though can be quite annoying when you are running out of space and you don't need the Windows.old folder.Getting rid of it will get you about 24 Gigs of storage..Twenty-Effin Four gigs are you kidding me!!
Anyway,Today I'll be showing you how to reclaim that storage.

1-First open up your File Explorer and navigate to Your Default OS Drive..In my case its C:Drive


Right Click on it and select Properties




2-After Properties Opening up,Click on Disk clean up as shown below


3-Then let it scan your HDD


4-Next click on Clean Up system files And let it scan yet again.



5-Once its done scanning,Tick on all the Boxes including previous windows installation



6-Next just click on the okay button at the bottom..If it asks for confirmation just click OK.



7-That's it,Windows will start Cleaning up the drive and you will get back your Storage


This will free up space to store more important Stuff..Come back for more Tips and Tricks In windows 10 and Android OS.Subscribe for more
