Why is there less space in my C drive?

1.Delete system file backups.

Go to the "Windows System32 DLLcache" directory (hidden directory by default), which stores about 360MB of files, which are backups of Windows XP system files. When the system files of Windows XP are replaced, deleted or modified, the system can automatically extract the corresponding system files from them for restoration, thus ensuring the stability of the system. If you have a Windows XP installation CD or have copied the installation files to your hard drive, you can delete this folder.

Note: The folder cannot be deleted directly, it is to be cleared by entering the command "purgecache" (note the space before the slash) command in the command prompt.

2.Delete the drive backup.

Windows XP comes with a large number of hardware drivers, and when new hardware is detected, the system will automatically extract the corresponding drivers and install them. In fact, in most cases, we rarely change our hardware configuration, so if we are sure that all the hardware drivers we need have been installed, we can delete the driver backup file. Go to the "Windows Driver Cache I386" directory, find the compressed file named ", and delete it.

This frees up about 73MB of hard disk space. If the system can't find the driver when you install new hardware later, you can extract it from the installation CD.

3.Remove unused input methods.

There are several input methods that we don't need at all under Windows XP, such as Japanese, Korean input method, etc. The method of deletion is as follows: go to "Control Panel Date, Time, Language and Locale Region and Language Options", select the "Language" tab, remove the checkmark in front of "Install files for East Asian languages", click "OK" and delete the unwanted language options according to the prompts.

After restarting, go to the "Windows IME" folder and delete the "chtime", "imjp8 1" and "imkr6 1" folders (they correspond to Chinese traditional, Japanese, and Korean respectively). This frees up about 85MB of hard disk space.

4.Clear the temporary system files.

The "Documents and Settings username localsettings temp" directory (hidden directory by default) stores temporary folders and discarded documents left behind when the software is installed or run, which can be emptied. If this is your first time, you may be freeing up hundreds of MB of hard drive space.

It should be a backup. There are 2G hidden partitions. Just leave it alone. Which is prepared for what went wrong with the system as a function such as one-click recovery.

Dell, IBM, etc. generally hide partitions for the operating system in a backup in order to quickly restore the operating system.

These two Gs are backups.
