My C drive should have 5G space left, why does it show that there are only more than 2G left?

It's all useless files.

Virtual memory takes up some space on the disk.

It is estimated that it is caused by hidden files.

xp if hidden files are displayed.

Some of them are system-important files that cannot be deleted indiscriminately.

However, it is possible to find out which file or files are taking up a lot of space in the C drive.

Or because of the system restoring the file.

Or it's caused by cached files.

It is also possible that the system is updating temporary files, etc.

It depends on the situation.

If you want to see hidden files, you can click on Explorer.

Tools - Folder Options - View.

There are inside. <>

Once you're sure, you're ready to view the hidden files.

Regarding the size of the C drive of XP, take a screenshot of the picture for your reference, it is the optimized C disk.

2G is less, if the disk is too full, please clean the disk.

At least 256g or more should be allocated to the C disk... 18G is too little, even the current mini computer is 32G.

If you have installed Microsoft operating system, then in addition to the necessary operating system software in the C drive, if you have not turned off the system restore function, then there are some necessary files for system restoration, at least two or three G or even 5G, which is convenient for you to restore the computer in an emergency. In addition, if your browser is installed in the C drive, some ** data and caches are in the C drive.

If your QQ is installed on the C drive, then some QQ group group chat messages, ** (this is the most space-consuming) are all in your C drive. Of course, there is also QQ's advertising information, all in your C disk...

There are also some system required memory paging files, virtual memory and disk tables...

It's like the directory of a book, in fact, the memory also needs a directory to find the corresponding memory unit to read the data, of course, the disk also needs to have a directory to read the data...

On the whole, the C disk 18G still has 5G left, which is good.。。。

In fact, the most occupying C disk space is QQ a lot of the time.,Then there's the browser cache.,And finally the files of the system itself.。。

System,Cache,Basic software Basically, you use almost all of your storage.。。。

If you install a system above win7, the system itself takes up a lot of space, 18G is not enough at all, at least 30G or more!

How much memory is installed, how big the C disk is unavailable, it should be larger than your memory occupation, this can be adjusted, because the early computer memory is very expensive, and the operating system uses the hard disk as a cache. In the "Performance" setting, turn the virtual memory down or transfer it to the D drive.

Junk and cache. Clean it up.

Are you software or something installed on the C drive.

Remove the Hidden Protected System Files checkbox. Nowadays, computers generally take up 2 gigabytes of fake memory, and if you hibernate them, you have to take up a lot of hard drives.

System Restore, page files, etc. also take up space, but the files or folders are not displayed.

2l is right about page files, virtual memory at least 2 4g[:26:].
