Storage Cleanup Assistant
Find safe ways to free up drive space without losing files.
Deleting unknown system files can cause problems. Start with built-in Windows cleanup options.
- Check storage categories: Settings → System → Storage shows which categories use space.
- Clean temporary files: Use Storage Sense or Temporary files, reviewing the selections before deleting.
- Empty Downloads carefully: Sort your Downloads folder, but retain installers or files you still need.
- Back up first: Move personal photos and documents to a verified backup before removal.
How to use this tool
Follow the steps above. Browser tests run locally when possible; other tasks provide practical troubleshooting guidance rather than claiming to scan your computer or network.
Important limitations
Results depend on your device, permissions, Windows version and network configuration. Back up important files before system changes and consult your device manufacturer for hardware repairs.
