All The Information You'll Need To Effectively Prune Your Hard Drive

Our Tips Editor Robert Schifreen says: "I've recently been working on a
couple of Windows machines that were running short of hard disk space. I
could, of course, have simply added a new drive to the machine, or replaced
the existing one with a larger model. But if you find yourself in a similar
position, it's always a good idea to start by looking for stuff that you can
delete rather than just adding more storage." To help work out what you can
delete Robert recommends this free utility. "It's small, free, open source,
relatively quick to scan your drives, and presents the information in a neat
way. Then it's just a case of scanning down the list of folders in order of
percentage, and look for likely candidates that you know are safe to delete,
archive, or move elsewhere."
