当您的计算机在物理存储上运行不足时，其速度、性能和维护系统完整性的能力都会受到影响。管理不善的硬盘驱动器可能会让您没有多少空间来安装重要更新，并且随着时间的推移通常会降低用户体验。
在本文中，我们将讨论在Windows 10中创建更多磁盘空间的几种方法。
- 清空回收站
- 删除不需要的应用程序和程序
- 启用存储感知
- 使用云存储
- 磁盘清理
- 禁用休眠
- 删除临时文件
清空回收站(Empty The Recycle Bin)
从计算机(Deleting items from your computer)中删除照片、视频和文档等项目不会将它们从硬盘中删除。它们被移至回收站(Recycle Bin)并继续占用您的硬盘空间。清空回收站(Recycle Bin)将创建更多磁盘空间。
- 在搜索栏中键入回收站(Recycle Bin)以找到应用程序并将其打开。
- 单击打开(Open)以转到应用程序的管理(Manage )部分。在删除它们之前滚动(Scroll)浏览这些项目，以确保您没有删除您需要的东西。
- 如果您发现错误删除的文件，请单击它并选择“恢复”。(Restore. )所选项目将从回收站(Recycle Bin)中删除。
- 当您单击清空回收站时，(Empty Recycle Bin, )会弹出一个窗口询问：您确定要永久删除所有这些项目吗？(Are you sure you want to permanently delete all of these items?)
删除不需要的应用程序和程序(Delete Unwanted Apps & Programs)
Windows 10 预装了占用硬盘空间的应用和游戏。其中一些占用了大量空间。因此，如果您不使用它们，可以(you can delete them)通过以下方式删除它们：
- 导航到设置(Settings)、应用程序(Apps)，然后是应用程序和功能(Apps & features)
- 选择您不使用或不想要的游戏和应用程序，然后单击卸载(UNINSTALL)。
启用存储感知(Enable Storage Sense)
Windows 10 带有一项名为Storage Sense的功能，可监控您的计算机并自动删除通常是临时的不同类型的文件。
您可以按照以下步骤配置设置：
- 通过搜索设置(Setting)或按住Windows键并点击“ i”打开 Windows 10 设置(i”)
- 单击系统(System)，然后单击存储(Storage)
- 打开存储(On)感知(Storage Sense)_
激活 Storage Sense 后，您可以将其设置为自动删除临时文件和脱水OneDrive文件。脱水的Microsoft OneDrive文件是在特定时期内未使用的文件。默认值为 30 天。
Windows删除本地副本并用占位符图标替换它们。当您单击一个图标时，它会将您带到云中的文件，从而让您在硬盘驱动器上创建更多磁盘空间。
默认情况下，Storage Sense仅在系统磁盘空间不足时使用此进程。
要启用存储感知：
- 单击更改我们自动释放空间的方式(Change how we free up space automatically)
- 将运行存储感知(Run Storage Sense)设置为在可用磁盘空间不足期间(During Low Free Disk Space)
- 向下滚动到本地可用的云内容(Locally Available Cloud Content)。
查找OneDrive(OneDrive)下的下拉菜单，然后选择您希望对文件进行脱水的频率。从中选择：
单击立即清理(Clean now )以使Windows 10能够通过消除混乱在硬盘驱动器上创建更多磁盘空间。
使用云存储(Use Cloud Storage)
如果您使用云存储(using cloud storage)来保存照片和文件并在硬盘驱动器上保留它们的副本，那么您就是双重存储。您可能不希望在计算机和云上保留所有内容的副本。
相反，您可以在需要访问的任何时候选择要下载并保存到计算机的文件夹。
使用 OneDrive 节省空间：
- 右键单击(Right-click)云图标并选择设置。(Settings.)
- (Choose folders)从“帐户”选项卡中(Account tab.)选择要同步的文件夹。
- 选择要保存到计算机的文件夹。
- 取消选中(Uncheck)您只想保留在云存储中而不是下载的任何文件或文件夹。
- 完成后，单击确定。(OK.)
- 您未检查的所有文件和文件夹都将从您的硬盘驱动器中删除，并为您提供更多空间。
- 只要您可以访问Internet(Internet)，您就可以随时从您的 OneDrive 帐户在线访问这些文件夹。
磁盘清理(Disk Cleanup)
Windows 磁盘清理(Windows Disk Cleanup)是一个内置实用程序，可帮助您删除不需要的数据，例如临时文件。以下步骤概述了如何使用磁盘清理：
- 在搜索栏中键入磁盘清理。(Disk Cleanup)
- 在要清理的驱动器旁边打勾，然后单击确定。(OK.)
Windows在您的计算机上运行扫描，并让您知道如果您运行(Windows)磁盘清理(Disk Cleanup)可以节省多少空间。
请参阅上面的屏幕截图，其中显示：您获得的磁盘空间总量：336 MB(Total amount of disk space you gain: 336 MB)。向下滚动到要删除的文件(Files to delete)行，然后选中您要删除的文件类型前面的框。然后单击确定(OK)。
禁用休眠(Disable Hibernation)
Windows 10 具有一项称为休眠(Hibernation)的功能，可以在离开计算机时使用。它将在您关闭时保存您正在处理的会话，以便您在准备好时可以从中断的地方继续。
但是，此过程会将当前内存中的数据写入硬盘并占用空间。这是一个方便的工具，但如果您的空间不足，您可以通过以下方式禁用休眠：
- 在搜索栏中键入命令提示符。(Command Prompt)
- 单击以管理员身份运行。(Run as administrator.)
- 键入以下命令以禁用休眠(Hibernation)，然后按Enter。
powercfg /hibernate off
禁用休眠后，您将无法再将计算机置于休眠模式，但会增加存储空间。
您可以随时通过在命令提示符(Command Prompt)处以管理员身份键入以下内容来恢复：
powercfg /hibernate on command
删除临时文件(Delete Temporary Files)
Windows使用TEMP文件夹来存储由某些第三方软件程序和Windows服务创建的文件夹和文件。临时文件会占用您计算机上的大量空间。如果您运行磁盘清理(Disk Cleanup)，它将删除临时文件(removed the temporary files)。
- 要手动删除它们，请在搜索栏中键入%temp%并单击File folder。
- 突出显示(Highlight)所有临时文件，右键单击鼠标，然后单击Delete。
使用(Use)上述一些建议的方法来清理硬盘驱动器并创建更多磁盘空间。从删除临时文件到利用云存储，您可以保持系统平稳运行并为程序和进程节省更多空间。
7 Ways to Create More Disk Space in Windows 10
When your computer runs low on physical stоrage, its speed, performance and ability to maintain system integritу will be affected. A poorly managed hard drive can leave you with little space to install significant updates аnd will gеnerally degrade the user experience over time.
In this article, we will discuss several ways to create more disk space in Windows 10.
- Empty the Recycle Bin
- Delete Unwanted Apps and Programs
- Enable Storage Sense
- Use Cloud Storage
- Disk Cleanup
- Disable Hibernation
- Delete Temporary Files
Empty The Recycle Bin
Deleting items from your computer such as photos, videos, and documents don’t remove them from your hard drive. They are moved to the Recycle Bin instead and continue to take up space on your hard drive. Emptying the Recycle Bin will create more disk space.
- Type Recycle Bin in the search bar to locate the app and open it.
- Click Open to go to the Manage section of the app. Scroll through the items before deleting them to make sure you didn’t delete something you need.
- If you find a file that was mistakenly deleted, click on it and choose Restore. The selected item will be removed from the Recycle Bin.
- When you click Empty Recycle Bin, a pop-up will ask: Are you sure you want to permanently delete all of these items?
- Click Yes to reclaim valuable disk space.
Delete Unwanted Apps & Programs
Windows 10 comes with pre-installed apps and games that take up space on your hard drive. Some of them take up a substantial amount of space. So if you aren’t using them you can delete them by:
- Navigating to Settings, Apps, then Apps & features
- Choose the games and apps you don’t use or want and then click UNINSTALL.
Enable Storage Sense
Windows 10 comes with a feature called Storage Sense that monitors your computer and automatically removes different types of files that are usually temporary.
You can configure the settings by following the steps below:
- Open Windows 10 Settings by searching for Settings or holding down the Windows key and hitting “i”
- Click on System and then Storage
- Turn Storage Sense to On
Once you activate Storage Sense, you can set it to delete temporary files and dehydrate OneDrive files automatically. Dehydrated Microsoft OneDrive files are the ones that haven’t been used for a specific period. The default is 30 days.
Windows removes local copies and replaces them with placeholder icons. When you click on an icon, it will take you to the file in the cloud, thereby letting you create more disk space on your hard drive.
By default, Storage Sense uses this process only when the disk space on your system is low.
To enable Storage Sense:
- Click on Change how we free up space automatically
- Set Run Storage Sense to During Low Free Disk Space
- Scroll down to Locally Available Cloud Content.
Look for the drop-down menu under OneDrive and choose how often you want to dehydrate files. Choose from:
- Never
- 1 day
- 14 days
- 30 days
- 60 days
Click Clean now to enable Windows 10 to create more disk space on your hard drive by getting rid of clutter.
Use Cloud Storage
If you are using cloud storage to save your photos and files and keeping a copy of them on your hard drive, you are double-storing. You may not wish to keep copies of everything you have on your computer and on the cloud.
Instead, you can choose which folders you want to download and save to your computer any time you need access.
To save space using OneDrive:
- Right-click on the cloud icon and choose Settings.
- Choose folders to sync from the Account tab.
- Select the folders you want to save to your computer.
- Uncheck any files or folders you want to leave on the cloud storage only and not download.
- When done, click OK.
- All files and folders that you did not check will be removed from your hard drive and give you more space.
- You will have access at any time to these folders online from your OneDrive account as long as you have Internet access.
Disk Cleanup
Windows Disk Cleanup is a built-in utility that helps you delete data you don’t need such as temporary files. The steps below outline how you use Disk Cleanup:
- Type Disk Cleanup in the search bar.
- Put a checkmark next to the drive you want to clean up and click OK.
Windows runs a scan on your computer and lets you know how much space you can save if you run Disk Cleanup.
See the screenshot above where it says: Total amount of disk space you gain: 336 MB. Scroll down to the Files to delete row and put a check in the box in front of the types of files you would like to delete. Then click OK.
Disable Hibernation
Windows 10 has a feature called Hibernation as an option to use when leaving your computer. It will save a session you are working on when you shut down so that you can pick up right where you left off when you are ready.
However, this process writes the data currently in memory onto your hard drive and takes up space. It’s a convenient tool, but if you are running low on space, you can disable Hibernation by:
- Typing Command Prompt into the search bar.
- Click on Run as administrator.
- Type the command below to disable Hibernation and then press Enter.
powercfg /hibernate off
With hibernation disabled, you will no longer be able to put your computer to hibernate mode, but you will increase your storage space.
You can revert at any time by typing the following as an administrator at the Command Prompt:
powercfg /hibernate on command
Delete Temporary Files
Windows uses the TEMP folder to store folders and files created by some third-party software programs and Windows services. Temporary files take up a lot of space on your computer. If you ran Disk Cleanup, it will have removed the temporary files.
- To remove them manually, type %temp% in the search bar and click on File folder.
- Highlight all the temporary files, right-click on your mouse and then click Delete.
Use some of the suggested methods described above to clean up your hard drive and create more disk space. From removing temporary files to utilizing cloud storage, you can keep your system running smoothly and save more space for programs and processes.
