Windows 10 offers a number of ways to check free disk space on your computer. The most common way is to use the Disk Space tool in the System Tools window. This tool allows you to view and manage your computer’s disk space, as well as see how much free disk space is available on your computer. To use the Disk Space tool in Windows 10, open the System Tools window and click on the Disk Space icon. The Disk Space tool will open in a new window. In this window, you will see a list of all your computers on your network. You can see which computers have more than 50GB of disk space by clicking on the name of one of these computers and then clicking on the green arrow next to its disk space information. If you want to view how much free disk space is available on your computer, you can click on the blue arrow next to your computer’s name and then click on the Details button. This button will show you information about your computer’s hardware, including its processor, memory, hard drive size, and other details. You can also see how much free disk space is available by clicking on the Capacity button. If you want to remove any disks from your computer’s hard drive or if you want to change some of its settings, you must first close all programs that are running on your computer and then reopen them all so that they can take effect. Then open System Tools again and click on the Disk Space icon again to continue using the Disk Space tool in Windows 10.
Sometimes it feels like you never have enough free disk space. Every app you install takes up valuable room on your main drive, and you might eventually run out. Here’s how to check how much you have left.
Open File Explorer. To do so quickly, press Windows+E. Or click the folder icon in your taskbar if File Explorer is pinned there. You’ll also find File Explorer in your Start menu.
Click “This PC” in the left column.
Under “Devices and Drives,” you’ll see your main system volume (C:) and any other drives in the computer. Windows shows the amount of free disk space on the drive directly below the drive’s name.
In general, Windows needs at least a few gigabytes of free storage space to perform optimally. For example, it uses this to cache important programs and virtual memory to disk, which speeds up the operation of Windows.
If you’re running low on space, consider freeing up storage by uninstalling programs you no longer use. Also, Windows 10 includes a handy “Free Up Space” tool that helps you clean up your hard drive.
