Therefore, it is very important to clean the e-disk in time. Below I will explain in detail how to clean up the e-drive to help free up disk space and improve the performance of your computer.

To sum up, cleaning e-disk can be achieved by deleting unnecessary files and folders, cleaning up system files, using disk cleanup tools, moving or backing up large files, using disk defragging tools, etc. Before proceeding with the cleanup operation, make sure to back up your important data and delete files carefully in case of data loss.
