5. Gaining Disk Space
In the same way as your home can get cluttered, your computer can also get clogged up with unnecessary
ballast, which uses up valuable disk space. We recommend that you carry out some spring cleaning from
time to time and delete unnecessary files from your system.
The "Clean Hard Disk" Area
In the Clean hard disk section, you can select the drives that you want to clean. After you have selected
these, TuneUp Utilities runs a quick analysis in the background and informs you how many Unnecessary
files, Old backups and Windows functions there are on the drives and how much disk space they are taking
up. You can now decide which files you want to delete and/or which Windows functions you want to dis-
able.
The "Analyzing Storage Usage and Deleting Data" Area
Here you can go a step further and search drives systematically for unnecessary data and securely delete
any sensitive data.
Use the TuneUp DiskSpace Explorer module to find large files and folders on your system. You can then
archive this data or delete it fully if you are sure you will not need it again in the future. This is a way of free-
ing up valuable disk space in one go.
The TuneUp Shredder module allows you to securely remove sensitive data. You can use three intelligent
deletion methods to ensure that even a professional could not restore your data.
