In the course of daily computer use, the e-drive (or other system partitions) often become short of space due to the large number of files, programs and data stored. When the E disk is full, it will not only affect the performance of the computer, but also may cause some programs to fail to run normally. So, when the computer E drive is full, how should we clean it? This article will provide you with some practical methods and suggestions.
1. Identify and delete unwanted files
First of all, we need to review the files in the E drive, find out those that are no longer needed or have expired, and delete them. This includes:
Temporary files: Windows system generates a large number of temporary files, which are usually located inc:\windows\temp\withC: Users Your username is AppData Local Tempdirectory. Cleaning up these files regularly can free up a lot of space.
** Files in the site: Check the station to see if there are any files that you are sure you no longer need. If there is, empty the ** station to free up space.
** file: Browse folders of your frequently ** files (such asdownloads), find out the files you no longer need and delete them.
Program installation files: If you have already installed some programs and deleted their installation files, then these installation files are no longer needed.
2. Clean up the system junk files
In addition to manually deleting unwanted files, you can also use the disk cleanup tool that comes with the system to clean up the junk files in the e-drive. Follow these steps:
Open "This PC", right-click on the E drive, and select "Properties".
Under the "General" tab, tap on "Disk Cleanup".
The system will scan the e-drive and list the file types that can be cleaned. Select the file type you want to clean up and click "OK".
You will be asked if you are sure you want to delete these files. Once confirmed, the Disk Cleanup tool will delete these files and free up space.
3. Move files to other partitions
If your computer has multiple partitions and there is still enough space for the other partitions, then you may want to consider moving some files to other partitions. This includes:
Personal documents: Move your personal files such as documents and ** to other partitions to make room for the e-drive.
Program Data: Some programs store a large number of data files on the E drive. You can consider moving these data files to a different partition and modifying the program's configuration file to point to the new data file location.
4. Use an external storage device
If your e-drive is still running out of space, you can consider using an external storage device such as a USB hard drive, portable hard drive, or network storage device to store some files that you don't use often. In this way, you will be able to back up the files from the drive to an external storage device and free up space on the drive.
5. Regular maintenance and cleaning
In order to avoid running out of space on the e-drive again, you should develop the habit of regularly maintaining and cleaning your computer. This includes deleting unwanted files on a regular basis, cleaning up system junk files, defragmenting disks, and more. In addition, you can also use some professional computer cleaning software to help you manage and clean files on your computer more conveniently.
In short, you don't have to worry too much when your computer's e-drive is full. You can easily free up space on your e-drive by identifying and deleting unwanted files, cleaning up system junk files, moving files to other partitions, and using external storage devices. At the same time, it is also very important to develop the habit of maintaining and cleaning your computer regularly. This way, you can ensure that your computer is always performing well and has enough storage space.
