Free Up Disk Space in Windows

Visit http://PCWizKidsTechTalk.com - Tips and Tweaks
There are many areas in Windows Vista and XP that you can delete temporary files and decrease disk usage.

Notes from video:
Delete temp files from:
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\

- Turn off or decrease size of disk usage for system restore
- Decrease the disk usage size of the recycle bin
- Empty or Decrease your Web Browsers disk usage for Cached files
- Disable Hibernation in Windows. For Vista - powercfg -H off
- Run cleanmgr

    That’s nice. But I doubt it guy. I tried it. Hated it. Very limited. I told you I did 3 videos actually 4.

    It limits Creativity. They should have given us a choice. The template is too contained. It all looks the same.

    I’m saddened I could lose my page. And I like the current template.

    But to each his own I guess. But now it’s all forced conformity. And I don’t conform.

    @simplydannygirl, well I dont mind it, I tried hard to make it look good. Its a little busy and change isnt always easy and I understand that, however give this some time to mature and get better you might end up liking the new layout after they fix it up some more.

    @simplydannygirl, Hi I know, youtube will be forcing us all to use the new layout on July 15th, so I thought I’d try the new layout now and get ready.

    Compress everything you can from your Desktop, My Documents, etc. Just don’t compress anything from the My Computer bit unless you’re asking for trouble (sorry if this is a n00b suggestion)
