Space in C: Drive

[shyamno]

Suddenly....my free space from the C drive have been reduced to 350MB from 1.07 GB ...without any installation of any kind of s/w....

Can I remove/delete these files..in the pic below....

[NucleusKore]

No, and before you do anything else check the size of your documents folder

 

[ico]

disable System Restore and enable again and perform Disk Clean Up. This will increase your free space.

 

[shyamno]

ok....i will check it....but all those folder contains some updates....will it be needed ???

 

[ico]

yes, and do not mess up with your Windows folder unnecessarily

 

[shyamno]

I have checked My Documents....and there is no unwanted file......

also....in the temp folder......there are many files......

(RUN -->temp (not %temp%) )

Are they needed...

 

[ico]

^ No, you can delete them.
Also clear your %temp%

 

[NucleusKore]

:-S I asked you to see the size of your my documents folder. See the size of the folder and if you are able to account for it with all the items inside it

 

[shyamno]

disable System Restore and enable again and perform Disk Clean Up. This will increase your free space.

I have done that ..but of no importance...

 

[ico]

If you want more space, you can also decrease the size of your Virtual Memory

 

[shyamno]

Should I delete the contents from WINDOWS/Temp/

 

[QwertyManiac]

You can clear up the hotfix backups, no issues arise out of doing so.

Use Doug's utility to do so:

Should I delete the contents from WINDOWS/Temp/

Yes...you can.

whenever trying to delete the files in TEMP folder...my system is not responding and it is getting hanged ...and also....in task manager the EXPLORER.EXE (Username) and SVCHOST.EXE (SYSTEM) are taking a lot of resource...and CPU usage is 100%.....

 

[sauyadav]

These are uninstallers for Windows Hotfix Updates. It appears that you have used Autopatcher to update your Windows.

To clean it use CCleaner & check Hotfix Uninstallers. It will delete all unnecessary files.
