How to deal with excessively large Windows files

When we use the win10 operating system, we will find that the windows folder on the C drive takes up a particularly large amount of memory. So what is this file used for, and how to clean up the memory space it occupies. Regarding this problem, the editor thinks that you can try to use the disk cleanup function that comes with the win10 system, or manually select and delete some deletable files in the folder in batches. So let’s take a look at the specific solution steps~

What to do if the windows file on the win10c drive is too large

Method 1:

Open "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution", then click to find the "DataStore" and "Download" folders to delete.

They are all temporary update data files, and the space occupied is related to the above files, because the system will retain the files here every time it is updated.

Method 2:

Click to open "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository" and enter "*.inf" in the search box.

Then find ati, nv, mdm, prn, prn. All the ones starting with prn are printer drivers. Users who do not use printers can delete them.

Ps: The three files prnms001.inf, prnoc001.inf, and prnms002.inf are not printer drivers and must not be deleted.

Open the "C:\Windows\Downloaded Installations" folder, we can safely delete it, usually within 10MB-1GB.

Delete "C:\Windows\Help", "C:\Windows\IME\IMESC5", "C:\Windows\IME\IMEJP10",

"C:\Windows\ IME\imekr8", "C:\Windows\IME\IMETC10", "C:\windows\Installer", and

"C:\Windows\winsxs\Backup", uninstallation and modification of installed programs There may be problems with the programs you need, just delete the programs you don't need.
