Now there has been ultraspeed rams and processors and most of you might not need this post.But making your hard disk free is essential for people having slow pc’s and less hard drive space.Let me list some common tips so that you can free up hard disk space and improve computer/laptop performance.
1.Go through all the programs you have installed in the add or remove programs from your control panel and remove the one that you are not using.
2.Remove the default windows components that you have never used.You can find them in control panel>add or remove programs>add or remove windows components and then select the program you wish to uninstall.
3.Remove unwanted files that are stored in your computer during software installation.These files have the following extensions and can be removed by making a search for these extensions.
*.bak
*.tmp
*.~*
~*.*
*.old
*.bkp
*.$$$
*.diz
Readme.txt
MSCreate.dir
*.gid
4.Clean your temporary folder which stores the log files and .tmp files.
5.Compress the disk drive.You have to convert FAT to NTFS inorder to compress your disk drive.Go to my computer and select your disk drive and select properties and check compress drive to save disk space .Now you have cleaned up a lot of space in your computer and obviously your system will be running much faster than it was previous.
