A simple and quick way to save a few extra gigabytes on your hard drive.

Often, the truly useful features of Windows 10 are hidden somewhere in the wilds of the operating system. With the "Memory Sense" function, which automates the cleaning of the hard drive from garbage, things are different. It is in everyone's mind, but many do not even think to include it. But in vain.

Use Windows Search and type "Memory." Open the first result and immediately find the setting you want. Most likely, it will be disabled. Feel free to include.

After that, Windows will begin to delete all unnecessary temporary files, the contents of the recycle bin and junk from the Downloads folder at regular intervals. Click "Change the way to free up space", and you can make sure that some of these categories are not touched by the system.

If there are traces of the old OS version on your computer, then Memory Control will help you get rid of them as well. In this case, the giant folder windows.old on the system drive is subject to deletion.

When you're done customizing the feature, click "Clear Now". You won't need this button anymore. The cleaning will now take place automatically.
