Avez-vous un ordinateur qui n'a pas une commande dure énorme, mais stockez-vous beaucoup d'images, de videos, ou d'autres grands dossiers qui obtient votre espace libre bas ? Une fois que votre ordinateur devient bas sur l'espace de disque dur, les processus normaux commencent à ralentir et votre ordinateur courra péniblement lent. Il y a naturellement un bon nombre d'autres raisons pour lesquelles votre ordinateur pourrait fonctionner lentement, mais ce poteau est spécifiquement pour ceux qui savent qu'ils fonctionnent sous peu sur l'espace disque.
Ainsi au lieu de devoir supprimer des dossiers ou écarter des choses aux bâtons d'USB ou aux commandes dures externes, vous peut d'abord essayer de libérer vers le haut un certain espace sur votre ordinateur qui peut être pris par les fichiers temporaires inutiles ou les processus de système. Il y a habituellement trois le grand espace « tueurs » dans Windows qui sont placés par défaut pour acaparer l'espace disque et devraient être retenus dedans dès que vous pourrez !
1. Réutilisez le casier - Pourquoi sélection sur le casier de réutilisation hein ? ? Le bidon de détritus jamais-irritant et parfois de sauvetage se repose juste là nous attendant pour lui dire ce qui à faire bien ? Bien, il prend également beaucoup dont de l'espace il n'a pas besoin. Le casier de réutilisation emploie un pourcentage de votre commande dure afin de stocker les dossiers supprimés. Cependant, ce pourcentage est placé par défaut à un nombre très élevé et aux extrémités gaspillant vers le haut beaucoup de l'espace.
Voici comment fixer le tueur #1 de l'espace. Premier bon clic sur le casier de réutilisation sur votre ordinateur de bureau et clic Propriétés.
Sur l'étiquette globale, vous pouvez choisir Employez on plaçant pour toutes les commandes ou Configurez les commandes indépendamment . It’s usually better to configure the recycle bin for each drive independently since it’s based on the size of the drive, so 5% of a 50GB hard drive is much bigger than 5% of a 20GB hard drive. At the top you’ll see tabs for each partition you have on your computer.
By default, the slider bar is usually set at something like 12%, which is very high! Unless you are deleting huge files, there will never be a need for a recycle bin that size. A good size is from anywhere between 3 to 5% of your hard drive. Drag the slider bar and you just saved yourself a good amount of space, especially if you have large hard drives. My computer is set to 1% and I’ve never had a problem recovering a file from the bin!
2. Turn Off System Restore - Another handy little service that can get your computer back up and running sometimes, but again takes up a lot of extra space that is not needed. Also, System Restore only recovers Windows files, not any of your data. So having System Restore enabled on any other drive other than your C drive (where Windows is installed) is completely useless.
To fix this one, right click on My Computer and choose Properties.
Click on the System Restore tab.
As you can see from my computer, I have a C and a D drive of which system restore has been turned off on D. Again, this is because System Restore does not protect your data, it only protects Windows system files, so you don’t need it for any other drive other than the main system drive. If you click on the C drive and choose settings, you’ll get the dialog box to set the amount of space.
For system restore, a value between 2% to 4% will be fine. The default 12% wastes loads and loads of space! I have mine set to 2% and even with that, I still have over 10 restore points to recover from if I needed to.
3. Delete temporary Internet Explorer files - Ahhh…if you like to browse the Internet hardcore like I do, then you MUST clean out your temporary files every once in a while or else it will take up lots of space. And again, as with the Recycle Bin and System Restore, we can set the max size for the amount of storage for temporary Internet files. And again, it’s set really high by default!
Open IE and go to Tools, Internet Options.
On the options dialog, under Browsing History, click on Settings.
Now here you can type in a value for the amount of space to be used!! When I first did mine, it was set to 1GB!!! So I had 1 whole GB of storage being used by temporary files that were never going to be used again anyway! Change that value to something very small like 25MB or even less if you like. After doing this, you should click Delete under the Browsing History section and delete all of the current data there.
4. Actually, there is a 4th thing you can do to get some disk space back! If you’re like most people, you probably use StandBy mode on your computer by simply closing the cover or pressing the power button. No one really uses Hibernate mode because why use that when you can use StandBy, which is easier and a lot faster! I personally have never used it and don’t think I ever will, but it takes up a good amount of space on your computer.
Go to Start, Control Panel and choose Power Options. If you are in Category view, click Switch to Classic View at the top left. Then click on the Hibernate tab in the Power Options dialog:
Make sure it’s unchecked. The hibernate feature takes up the amount of space equal to your RAM, so in my case I was wasting another 1GB of space!!!
Now you hopefully just saved yourself a couple of GB’s worth of space! Now you can last a little bit longer before having to move stuff off.

Another way I’ve used to save space is to, “Squish” files
(this can be done natively in XP & up, for the older OS’s you need WinZip or some file “compression” utility)
1) find a folder with a ton of my files
go back to the other window and select all the files in it
2) rt click or hit the “context menu” key on the keyboard
3) select “new”
4) “compressed zipped folder”
5) name it to whatever the content will be ie BMP’s.zip, JPG’S.zip or just “ZippedUp.zip”
6) double click it or click and hit enter
7) a new “Explorer” window opens
9) rt click and hold while dragging the files to the other window
10) a little context menu asking if you want to copy or move the files, select move.
this creates a “single” file containing all those files within it thus saving wasted clusters for files that don’t use an exact cluster size ie
4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, etc.
if your files aren’t these sizes they waste space.
the good thing about the native XP “compressed zipped folders” is that the files in it are availible to open just by opening the folder as you would any folder in explorer and opening the file or draging the file to your application, and for the others like WinZip etc. you need to open it first but hey if it saves space it’s still worth it.
:Edit(add on)
Also, defrag the drive after “creating” and moving the files into the “compressed zipped folder”
