How to Make Space on a Hard Drive: Part 2

Hi, my name is Pete D'Alessandro. This is Expert Village. So I've got the couple things checked I want to delete, and I have the things unchecked that I don't want to. I can now hit 'OK'. I will be deleting some files so just make sure. It's going to pop this up. It's going to start cleaning. It's going to empty more space on my C drive. You can see here, the used space, about 55 out of about 228. Now you don't have to know a lot about memory to know that that's only about a quarter, so we're really doing alright for memory, in what we've used to what we're free. We can hit 'OK'. We can get out of this, and just keep in mind this is the quickest way to do half of what we just did right now. Keep this empty. When you delete files they wind up in the recycling bin. They are still on your computer, they're still taking up memory. The computer's still actually doing something with them, so make sure to get rid of them.
