PC storage is full

Begin with built-in Windows storage tools and remove files you recognize.

What to try

  1. Open Windows Storage settings and review what is using space.
  2. Empty Recycle Bin after checking its contents.
  3. Remove temporary files using Windows built-in cleanup options.
  4. Move large personal videos, photos or backups to storage you control.
  5. Uninstall apps you no longer use through normal Windows settings.

Safety note

Do not delete Windows system folders just to gain space. When unsure about a file, leave it alone until you can identify it.
