每当我们认为我们的硬盘驱动器上有足够的空间时，我们就会以某种方式找到足够的东西来加载它并且很快就会用完空间。在故事的最后，我们所知道的是，我们迫切需要更多的驱动器空间，因为我们已经拥有大量的图片、视频和应用程序。因此，如果您需要在驱动器上腾出空间，您可以使用以下几种方法来清理硬盘并优化空间利用率，从而为新的东西腾出空间，让您不必再购买另一个驱动器。

什么实际上占用了您的硬盘空间？^{(What is actually taking up your hard disk space?)}

现在，在清理驱动器上的一些空间之前，您可能需要弄清楚哪些文件实际上占用了所有磁盘空间。Windows本身为您提供了这些重要信息，它提供了一个磁盘分析器工具来查找您需要删除哪些文件。要分析您的磁盘空间，

1. 单击任务栏上的开始^{( Start)}图标。

2. 点击齿轮图标^{( gear icon)}打开设置^(Settings)，然后点击“系统^(System)”。

3.从左侧窗格中选择“存储”，在“^(Storage)本地存储^{(Local Storage)}”下，选择您需要检查空间的驱动器。^{(select the drive you need to check the space.)}

4. 等待存储使用加载。加载后，您将看到哪种类型的文件使用了多少磁盘空间。^{(you will see which type of files use what amount of disk space.)}

5. 此外，单击特定类型将为您提供更详细的存储使用信息。例如，“应用程序和游戏^{(Apps & Games)}”部分将为您提供每个应用程序在您的磁盘上占用多少空间的详细信息。

此外，您可以从控制面板^{(Control Panel)}中找出计算机上不同程序占用的空间。

1. 按 Windows 键 + R 然后键入control并按 Enter 打开“控制面板^{(Control Panel)}”。

2. 现在，单击“程序^(Programs)”，然后单击“程序和功能^{(Programs and features)}”。

3. 您现在拥有计算机上的完整程序列表以及每个程序占用的空间。

除了Windows内置分析器，许多第三方磁盘空间分析器应用程序（如WinDirStat）可以帮助您通过更详细的视图了解不同文件使用的磁盘空间量^{(how much disk space different files use with a more detailed view)}。既然您确切知道占用了大部分磁盘空间的内容，您就可以轻松决定要删除或删除的内容。要释放硬盘上的空间，请使用给定的方法：

在Windows 10上释放硬盘空间的 10 种方法^{(Hard Disk Space)}

确保 创建一个还原点^{(create a restore point)} 以防万一出现问题。

4. 在这里，您可以通过单击“大小^(Size)”属性标题根据应用的大小对应用进行排序。

5.此外，您可以过滤掉小型，中型，大型，巨大和巨大的应用程序。为此，请单击“大小”^(Size)旁边的向下箭头^{( down arrow beside)}并选择相关选项。^{(the relevant option.)}

6. 右键单击​​应用程序^{( app)}并单击“卸载”以卸载任何应用程序，然后在“^(Uninstall)用户帐户控制^{(User Account Control)}”窗口中单击“是^(Yes)” 。

方法5：删除重复文件以释放硬盘空间^{(Method 5: Delete Duplicate Files to Free Up Hard Disk Space)}

在您的计算机上复制和粘贴不同文件时，您实际上可能会获得位于计算机不同位置的同一文件的多个副本。删除这些重复文件还可以释放磁盘空间。现在，在您的计算机上手动查找文件的不同副本几乎是不可能的，因此您可以使用一些第三方应用程序来执行此操作。其中一些是 Duplicate Cleaner Pro、CCleaner、Auslogics Duplicate File Finder等。

方法6：将文件存储在云端^{(Method 6: Store Files on the Cloud)}

使用 Microsoft 的OneDrive保存文件可以为您节省一些本地磁盘空间。OneDrive的“按需文件^{(Files On-Demand)}”功能可在Windows 10上使用，这是一项非常酷的功能，您甚至可以从文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}访问那些实际存储在云中的文件。这些文件不会存储在您的本地磁盘上，并且可以在需要时直接从文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}中下载，而无需同步它们。因此^(Hence)，如果空间不足，您可以将文件存储在云端。要启用OneDrive Files On-Demand，

1. 单击任务栏通知区域中的云图标^{(cloud icon in the notification area)}以打开 OneDrive。

2. 然后点击“更多^(More)”并选择“设置^(Settings)”。

3. 切换到“设置”选项卡^{( Settings tab)}并选中^(checkmark)“按需文件”部分下的“^{(Files On-Demand)}节省空间并下载文件^{(Save space and download files as you see them)}”框。

Windows 10上的休眠功能可让您在不丢失工作的情况下关闭计算机，这样无论何时再次打开，您都可以从离开的地方开始。现在，此功能通过将内存中的数据保存到硬盘来实现。如果您立即需要更多磁盘空间，您可以禁用此功能以释放Windows上的硬盘空间^{(Free Up Hard Disk Space)}。为了这，

1. 在任务栏上的搜索字段中，键入命令提示符。^{(command prompt.)}

2. 右键单击​​命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}快捷方式并选择“以管理员身份运行^{(Run as administrator)}”。

3. 运行以下命令：

powercfg /hibernate off

4.如果以后需要再次启用休眠^{( enable hibernate again in the future)}，运行命令：

powercfg /hibernate off

方法 8：减少系统还原使用的磁盘空间^{(Method 8: Reduce the disk space utilized by System Restore)}

这是您可以权衡磁盘空间的另一个功能。系统还原^{(System Restore)}使用大量磁盘空间来保存系统还原点。如果您可以使用更少的系统还原点来还原您的系统，那么您可以减少系统还原^{(System Restore)}在磁盘上占用的空间量。去做这个，

1. 右键单击​​“这台电脑^{(This PC)}”并选择“属性^(Properties)”。

2. 单击左侧窗格中的“系统保护^{(System Protection)}”。

3. 现在切换到系统保护^{(System Protection)}选项卡并单击“配置^(Configure)”。

方法 9：压缩 Windows 10 安装以释放磁盘空间 ^{(Method 9: Compress Windows 10 Installation to Free Up Disk Space )}

如果您仍然需要更多空间并且没有其他选择，请使用此方法。

1. 备份您的 PC，因为修改系统文件可能有风险。

2. 在任务栏上的搜索字段中，键入命令提示符。^{(command prompt.)}

3. 右键单击​​命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}快捷方式并选择“以管理员身份运行^{(Run as administrator)}”。

4. 运行以下命令：

compact.exe /compactOS:always

5. 要在将来恢复更改，请运行以下命令：

compact.exe /compactOS:never

方法 10：将文件和应用程序移动到外部硬盘驱动器^{(Method 10: Move files and apps to External Hard Drive)}

如果您的计算机需要更多空间，您可以使用外部硬盘驱动器。您可以将文件和应用程序移动到外部驱动器以释放Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}上的硬盘空间。虽然将文件和应用程序移动到外部驱动器很容易，但您还可以将其配置为将新内容自动保存到新位置。

1. 导航到Settings > System > Storage.

2. 单击“更多存储设置”下的“更改新内容的保存位置”。^{(Change where new content is saved)}

3. 从列表中选择所需的位置并单击“应用^(Apply)”。

因此，这些是您可以释放硬盘空间的几种方法。

10 Ways to Free Up Hard Disk Space On Windows 10

Make sure to create a restore point just in case something goes wrong.

Method 1: Delete Junk Windows Files using Storage Sense

As the first step, let us delete the temporary files saved on our computers which are useless for us, using Storage Sense built-in Windows feature.

1. Click on the Start icon on the taskbar.

2. Click on the gear icon to open Settings and go to ‘System’.

3. Select ‘Storage’ from the left pane and scroll down to ‘Storage Sense’.
