Free Up Hard Drive Space with WinDirStat [Tutorial]

[@nickc127]

Thanks to this program and video, i found liie 50gb worth of things i didnt realize were still there. So useful.

[@juliekrolak1450]

I just want to say that you have made my day. I cleaned up 180 gb of memory from my hard drive. Adobe has been storing all these CRLog - Dump files on my hard drive. Amazing!

[@johntheoldmod]

This is THE best delivery of information I have ever experienced on here and it's a great pity that some idiots have nothing to contribute except critisism. Thank you JAG

[@timolaf2798]

I recently installed WinDirStat and wanted a brief explanation of its usage. Your video was perfect. I could easily fast forward through the sections with which I was already comfortable. But, the detailed information on the software usage itself were very well explained. Thank you!

[@steveswanproductionstt6355]

Your explanation was very easy to follow. Thanks for the time you put into this video. I regained 46 gigs after deleting just one file I couldn't find before I watched your video.

[@connorsc1]

i had gtaV with 100gb...

[@TheQvintus007]

Bro, I just got 68GB of files deleted... THANKS DUDE YOU ARE THE BEST

[@redkaotic6423]

nice

[@coltonwalker9616]

wow you had alot of shit

[@IslamHaziraj]

TheQvintus007 Do i have to click CleanUp button? Or what please help?

[@imtheonlygoodalex]

I just either went into my file explorer and discovered the folder for my self then deleted it via that or just right clicked the file holding the huge chunk of space (in WinDirStat) and clicked the 'Delete' button; I think the button had a text saying something like "Uninstall forever", it's pretty much that one! :D Sorry if I explained it weirdly...

[@bullytrisk6590]

Thanks for uploading this, it was very helpful and easy to follow. By following the instructions here I've just cleared a huge number of files from my hard drive that I didn't even know were there.

[@PrometheusOfVideos]

Thanks a ton for this very in depth and easy to follow tutorial!

[@justingoers]

This is such a great program. I definitely consider this an essential tool.

[@justDlight]

[@ryanperrymba]

Well put together. Wondering: Are you blue-green colorblind? I noticed you clicked a blue square and said green.

[@Eslamz1000]

Thanks a lot waiting for more tutorials because you're awesome! :)

[@sandraellis1942]

This was very detailed and very helpful. I really like this software! Yes, it was a tad on the slow side, but I am unable to tell you what I would remove from it AND if you had talked faster, I might not have absorbed all of it. Keep up the good work!

[@Ozzmageddon]

excellent video, thank you for taking the time explain everything. definite kudos awarded

[@Kinobambino]

THANK YOU. I freed up a bit of space but I am scared to delete important files that i dont know what they are so I stoped.

WHY DOES THE HD USAGE SHOWN ON THE BEGINNING WINDOW FOR C DRIVE DOES NOT MATCH THE SIZE OF C DRIVE FOLDER SHOWN IN THE DIRECTORY LIST WHEN i'M SCANNING THE C DRIVE.?

[@GNParty]

I have Window 8 laptop with an AMD6 dual core processor and I think your CPU usage and other statistics on the right of your [desktop] screen are very cool. Could you please tell me how to get them?

[@wuud4842]

its 2021 but very helpful vid. THX

[@nema1218]

When I want to delete some files, it gives me a warning that deleting them may damage my system. So which files are safe to delete and which ones are part important?

[@Mekkkor]

Most files are safe to delete, it will help if you tell me what they are.

[@nema1218]

Hey there Thanks for you help and sorry for the late response but I bought a new computer. My motherboard died. Thanks

[@Mekkkor]

nema1218 Ah shame, no worries :) your right to be curios as too what files you can delete so ask if you have any doubts, whilst you can generally delete most files there are some worth/best keeping. Definitely some that are needed.

[@itskaporli8519]

Mekkkor i have tons and TONS of little blue files/dlls safe to delete?

[@krich106]

ItsKaporli dude just google the name of whatever you want to delete and you'll find what it does.

[@alwaysFlOoReD]

Another thank-you. I subscribed.

[@boristheblade569]

hi got one question,can i delete everything windirstat is showing?

[@SkyGodKazuha]

Youre gonna delete you windows c?

[@matt8706]

Thanks to this program I discoved a program that had eaten up 40gbs of storage and it would have gotten larger with time. The program is called NetLimiter, it allows me to limit download speeds of individual programs so I can download large files while watching videos or playing games without it causing lag. But the program has a built in feature which is enabled by default that records all network traffic to a file so you can view it. I have since disabled this useless feature and deleted the files related to it

[@maxwild8697]

Under my computer, hard drive, System Volume Information, and then Files, I have like 50 'things' (It doesn't say if they are pictures, videos, or programs) that take up 10 GB each. They are usually named random letters and words, such as {8a243d4e... And they don't disappear when I delete them. Does anyone know what they are?

[@Marcin_Kulpa]

+Max Wild did you got answer somewhere? i have in win dir stat , yellow rectangle and it is on c drive-system. Im bit affraid to delete it.anyone have an idea?

[@ClarkieUK]

Google the file names, most likely a worm. If you havent fixed it already (considering this was 2 years ago) I hope this helped, there should be a removal process you can do online

[@iantonio3]

What do you use to edit?

[@TesserLink]

is it weird that your voice reminds me of the character Adam in the "Welcome To the Game" video game

[@uwnbaw]

aw damnit you made me lose

[@johnnuss2794]

My c drive is completely full. 440GB. With winderstat I found that about 75% of c drive is taken up by a file that is labeled 'unknown' and it won't let me open it or delete it or anything. What the hell is this thing? Malware? What?

[@LukeyWolf]

How do I make it use more ram so the proccess can be faster?

[@xXHyperDucksXx]

Can I delete all the files for WinDirStat? :3

[@NancyMancarious]

That's very handy! Thank you

[@Venomine95]

open up task manager while it is running and right click its process name and make it a high priority.

[@Rabbit086]

What did you explain that took 27 minutes?

[@grantp4022]

+Rabbit086 - for an average user like myself this very slow approach is great. If your a hi-tech guy and very competent on computers, like your criticism suggests, why would you even bother watching this ??? if you know it all ??? and I don't think you do,you wouldn't have watched it-the guy did a good job to help the average user.

[@grantp4022]

I agree with your comment here Nekra

[@aldeshsa]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@GNParty]

Indeed. How are you, StraightPooPoo? Also, may I ask why you chose that username?
