Wie kann ich beim Windows PC WIRKLICH Speicherplatz schaffen?

Um meine Frage besser zu verstehen, solltet ihr euch die beigefügten Bilder ansehen.

Es wird angezeigt dass Apps und Features 82 GB einnehmen. Bei der Systemsteuerung wird angezeigt, dass es eigentlich nur 17GB sind.

Ich habe wirklich kaum was installiert, außer Adobe, Steam, Discord und Canon Programme. Der Rest naja, Windows und Microsoft. Die ganzen Microsoft Features können doch nicht 65GB schwer sein? Vor allem da für Windows ja schon 20GB reserviert worden sind. Es ist ja klar, dass über die Zeit, der Computer mit Junk füllt, obwohl man keine neuen Programme installiert. Aber ich hab schon allen Junk, Temp, AppData usw. gelöscht und habe Reste von alten Programmen, Setups und Treibern gefunden, die ich auch deinstalliert habe. Also mir fällt echt nichts mehr ein.

Mein Problem: Ich bin mir nicht sicher genug, um meinen PC ganz zurück zu setzen. Ich habe keinen Windows Key und ich will echt nichts vermasseln.

Ich brauche Hilfe.

“The system control shows that it is only 17GB.”

The system upgrade time only applies to the larger applications that report their size, each second program does not do it or does not do it correctly; So forget the value. ♪

“Steam”

What did you install on games like that on Steam?

“It is clear that over the time the computer fills with junk, although no new programs are installed.”

No actually not really, definitely not in the GB range.

“But I’ve already deleted all junk, temp, appdata, etc. and found residues of old programs, setups and drivers that I’ve also uninstalled”

That’s hardly a significant amount.

“My problem: I’m not sure enough to put my PC back completely. I don’t have a Windows Key and I really don’t want to screw anything.”

The HWID of your motherboard is enabled at MS if you only reinstall Windows will remain enabled. Alternatively, you can also connect the activation to an MS account that you only need to log in.

If you want to find the files that eat the storage space, you’ll best take the Explorer on Windows and start first and see what size is displayed under right-click -> properties.
I would start with the folders:

  • C:\Program Files
  • C:\Program Files (x86)
  • C:\User\[Your username]

Then you know how this divides between any files and programs approximately.

In Programs & Programs (x86), you can also view the program folders and see how it is distributed.

How is the current division in GB between the mentioned folders:

C:\Program Files

C:\Program Files (x86)

C:\User\[Your username]

“My Steam games are all on my other hard drive.”

You can delete the more or less useless Windows 10 apps.

I like to keep the calculator, watch, cutting and sketching (snipping tool).

In addition, you can set the Windows recovery options slightly smaller. The standard is 5% or 10% of the data carrier.

You can move/copy/delete the update files in Windows directory

On the second picture, is there still a long story or not?

Forget it, stands 17 GB

Try CCcleaner. Is free and deletes all the data left by old apps etc.

CCleaner is snake oil… clean up also goes with Windows means: Disk Cleanup.

Supplement: If you are in Ccleaner:

Scan/Browse Registry After Errors – then a menu opens where you select No – then there is something to clean up from mistakes or similar – to run for a second time.

You don’t have to look for ways to save space – your hard drive is just too small.

The plate (or better SSD) has just 128 GB. I usually use this to computers that use only simple programs (Firefox, M$ Office etc) and store their data only in the network drive. And even for this, this is a bit very narrow, which is why I now use 256 GB drives.

If you want, you can run the ” Disk Cleanup” (as a admin staror) and hook everything there. This then takes a relatively long time because a compirmation of the Windows updates is done, but you get a few free GB again.

Do you use all the programs? Currently, less to unused programs uninstall a roof.

You can also compress files by folder. Don’t really get anything. 120GB can no longer be enchanted.

External drive would be possible to store less used files.
