Free up disk space
43
Explore your own hard drive and use the available views to look for ways that
you can gain more disk space. Sorting the list at the bottom by file size or date of
last access can also help you discover interesting files. To do this, simply use the
mouse to click on the headlines with a gray background at the top of the
columns.
Sorting files by the date of last access in combination with limiting a view to
certain file types allows you to find objects such as older MP3 files or videos that
you may not want to listen to or watch anymore. The same is true for images and
larger documents that you haven't used for years and are currently just taking up
space.
"Top 100 Files" View
For most users, this is the most interesting view. This shows you the 100 largest
files in the selected branch of the folder tree, clearly organized by file size. As
the contents of all subfolders are included, this view allows you to clean up
hundreds of megabytes or even several gigabytes with a few clicks, depending
on the size of your system.
Sometimes it useful to sort the Top 100 list by the date of last access. This
method allows you to quickly find large files that have not been used for several
weeks or even months and that may not be needed anymore.
