 Often while using the computer we need to copy or transfer a file from one place to another on the hard disk, whether transferring a file from Partition "D" to Partition "C" on the desktop, or from the flash drive to the hard drive. When you want to, you have to select the file and right click to get the option "Copy" for copying and "Cut" for transfer, select the appropriate option and then go to the folder you want to add it to. The problem with this method is that it is difficult when it comes to copying or moving multiple files from different folders, so you will find that it is impractical and wastes a lot of time. In this case, the "Send to" option is usually used to make the command smooth and fast, as you specify the location from the submenu and a shortcut to the specified files is created immediately in the specified location.

How to Use Windows 10 Disk Cleanup in Classic and Extended Mode to Free up Space

بواسطة Abd Al Rahman Al Tell -

We show you how to open and use Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 and use its advanced mode to free up even more space.

It’s smart to buy a small SSD to run your OS, but this can lead to its own problems. All too often, temporary files and deleted items can build up, getting your drive so clogged that it can affect performance. Because of this, Microsoft has created the Windows 10 disk cleanup tool, which you can utilize to free up space on your C: drive or any other drive.

Unfortunately, low disk space notifications don’t tend to direct you to this tool, instead taking you to Windows storage settings. This leads many to wonder where disk clean up is in Windows 10. Though it isn’t displayed prominently in the settings app, you can find it quite easily in Control Panel or via the Start Menu.

Running Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 can free up space by deleting files that you don’t need. The most savings are often found by deleting previous Windows installations and files left in the recycle bin, but it also looks for temporary internet files, thumbnails, error reports, and more. Cleaning up Windows 10 also gives you the option to enable system compression, which can make your windows binaries and program files smaller. Let’s get started on how to use it:

Ø How to Run and Use Windows 10 Disk Cleanup:

You can open the regular Windows 10 Disk Cleanup via the Run tool, or proceed to the second heading for advanced disk cleanup.

1.     Open Disk Cleanup
Press “Windows + R” to open the Run dialogue, type “cleanmgr”, and press “OK”.



2.     Select the items you’d like to delete.
Tick the types of files you want to remove and press “OK”.


3.     Confirm your decision.


4.     Clean up system files:
Back in the main Disk Cleanup window, click on “Clean up system files” near the bottom.


5.     Choose the system files you’d like to remove and press “OK”.


6.     Accept the permanent deletion:


7.     Open Disk Cleanup again as an admin:
In the Start Menu, type “Disk Cleanup”, click the first result, and then the “Run as administrator” option.


8.     Tick “Downloaded Program Files” and “Temporary Internet Files”
Then click on “Clean up system files”.


9.     Open “More Options”
Switch to the “More Options” tab and click on “Clean up…”.

10. Uninstall unused programs:
You can now uninstall the programs you use the least by clicking on them and pressing “Uninstall” in the top bar. When you’re done, cross out the window


11. Clean up system restore and shadow copies
Back in the “More Options” screen, look for the “System Restore and Shadow Copies” heading and click “Clean up…”.


12. Confirm the deletion
Deleting your system restore points will still keep the latest one should you need to revert anything. Press “Delete” to remove all of the ones before that and free up space.


13. Wait for the process to complete
It should only take a couple of minutes.


Ø How to Open Windows 10 Extended Disk Cleanup via Command Prompt

You can clean up Windows 10 even more via the extended Disk Cleanup tool, which can be accessed via the command line.

1.     Open Command Prompt:
Press the Windows key and type “command prompt”. Select the first entry under ‘Best match’ and choose “Run as administrator”.


2.     Run the Cleanmgr command
In the Command Prompt window, type the following and press “Enter”:
cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535
Disk Cleanup Settings will now launch. Tick the files you’d like to delete – you’ll notice that you have more options than in the regular version, including Chdsk files and Microsoft Defender and press “OK”.


3.     Wait for the process to complete:
Windows will take a little time to remove the files you selected. Make sure Command Prompt stays open while this happens.


Ø How to run Extended Disk Cleanup via Shortcut

In all likelihood, you’ll need to free up space in Windows 10 more than once. To speed up the Extended Disk Cleanup process, you can create a shortcut on your desktop.

1.     Create a new shortcut
Right-click on your desktop and select “New > Shortcut”.


2.     Enter the CMD command
In the location field, paste the command we used in the previous step, which is:
cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535
Press “Next”.


3.     Give it a name
Name your shortcut whatever makes the most sense to you. In our case, that’s “Extreme Disk Cleanup”. Press “Finish”.


4.     Open the shortcut
Double-click the shortcut to open it. It should automatically open command prompt and then the Advanced Disk Cleanup tool. Use it as normal, ticking the items you’d like to delete and also running the “Clean up system files” tool.

How to Fixing Error 0xc00000e9 on WIndows 10? From the error code mentioned in the above post, you may be facing this issue due to the hardware incompatibility or the faulty device drivers installed in the PC. When a device driver is faulty or not working properly, it can be identified by the yellow exclamation mark on the driver in Device Manager. Most of the time updating the faulty drivers will help in resolving the issue. Method 1: Removing the external device and updating the faulty device drivers. Step 1: I suggest you to remove all the external devices connected to your PC except for mouse and keyboard and check if you are able to boot and login into the PC. If your PC should start without any issues, connect the disconnected external device one after the other and check which device is causing the conflict. Update the driver software of that particular device which caused the issue and check if the issue is resolved. Step 2: To update the faulty device driver, follow the steps

We show you how to use Windows 10 to delete a user profile to reset an account without deletion or to aid a complete removal.           Adding a new account in Windows 10 creates a user profile, a collection of settings and folders that ensure each person on the PC has a unique, customized experience. This also contains all of their documents, saved games, videos, and more. This can take up some space, but fortunately, Windows lets you delete a user profile if you no longer need it or it gets corrupted. What’s the difference between a user profile and a user account? It’s worth noting that a Windows 10 user profile and a user account are two separates, but somewhat linked concepts. Though a user profile is created when an account is added to a PC, it’s not always deleted when it’s removed. Likewise, you can remove a user profile without deleting the account from Windows 10 and the login screen. For that. Deleting a user profile in Windows 10 can be a strong method to reset an account
