How To Increase Your Available Hard Drive Space
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
In this video I will show you how to increase your hard drive space by compressing it, using disk cleanup, and CCleaner (formerly Crap Cleaner). EDIT: This will only free up space on your hard drive so you can store more data. It does not magically give you more space. This only works on your hard drive, not RAM. This will NOT gain you extra space if you already have most of your files compressed. CCleaner does not gain back much hard drive space. It is mainly to keep your computer running smoothly. It deletes small internet history files. CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download Edit: 20,000 Views! Thanks guys! Be sure to check out my other videos!

Remember.
DONT COMPRESS UR FUCKING DRIVE
IT EATS UR GB'S -
Hey dude, my brother did this and he shut his computer down, then he turned it on again it is now stuck on a screen where is says "BOOTMGR is now compressed, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" so you do so and it goes in a contentious boot loop, any ideas?
we tried going into the bios but no luck we also tried the boot menu but no luck.. i hope you can get back soon, Joe -
This process of compressing the drive actually slows down your computer. I would not recommend this at all. Get a bigger drive is the best option here.

I just bumped into this video by accident but I stopped by to confirm that this does not break your HDD and does indeed increase your space as I've done it before. However this does make your HDD slower, and unfit for certain tasks such as recording video games. This is because it slows down the speed it takes to write to the disk. So the choice is yours. I normally have several HDDs, one I use as idle storage and backup which is indeed compressed.
PS: It's not entirely a good idea to compress the drive which has your OS on it. -
Will this work or will it destroy my computer? ( I dont really have a valid windows so my windows is cracked and my brother used 74 gb from my pc and i have only 6 gb remanieng please help!)
-
if we delete the c drive files then the important files may be deleted????
-
Hey I wanna to say you something! Why you would mark on compress before disk clean up. that's not necessary in fact that's wrong. It's possible to compress your windows and you won't able to use that.
-
will it delete any file which i needed from c Drive??
-
I have Windows 10. It will work?
-
thank god for your HDD
i have only 18 GB for C:/
and the others just 11 GB per one -
I tried everything but my hard drive is still losing A LOT of space...it used to be 260 then i downloaded games which made it to 230...so i tried to delete some stuff I dont use anymore but instead of gaining anything it loses more gb -.- checked it earlier it was 174 and now its 163 wtf...
