This is a good guide for clearing up storage. The massive thing I recommend is to invest in external hhd/ssd's as if you're a file horder or just paranoid about your files, it can help to just transfer files to another drive so you don't have have to constantly be deleting files.

[@mr.jtotheltothez9786]

Timestamps 1. Delete %temp% 2. Delete prefetch 3. Delete temp 4. Disk cleanup 5. Compress drives (Don't use on C drive) 6. Optimize drives (SSD's are only being trimmed so you can use a SSD) 7. Scan ALL drives for errors 8. Settings > Apps > Apps and features (Remove apps you would like) 9. Search gigantic files: File explorer > This PC (Then go to the search bar then type "SIZE:GIGANTIC") Then delete those files 10. Do the same thing but with SIZE:HUGE Both of them will take a long time to load 11. Empty recycle bin 12. Storage sense on and check the first option Keep windows running smoothly then play with the settings Last step: Compare!

same it has been corrupted literally since I bought my Acer from Best Buy. I think one of the only fixes involves reinstalling Windows which does not sound appealing.

[@daneo617]

Have you double ✔️ the drive permissions 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@WDnation9]

what should they ideally be set to in this case?

[@Frozen_Shedinja]

just press your windows button and search "disk cleanup", should be the first result

[@blacklives7886]

go to the search for your windows type in run then in the run option type cleanmgr it should show the disk clean up

[@GabrielDaniil]

I also recommend deleting zip files from your computer that you already extracted if you haven't already. They take up a lot of space for no reason after being extracted, so it is totally recommended to do so. Unless you haven't extracted it yet, find all zip files and delete them. Huge difference.

What files did you delete from the Gigantic and HUGE ? I wanna make I delete the ones I don't need but also keep the important

[@TheRandomCommenter773]

@@thatoneguy022 Depends on what files you have in there really. Obviously make sure to read what the files are and make sure there not any vital Windows OS stuff and or anything you need to keep but personally I had a few games on there that took up a good few gigabytes so I just deleted them or moved them to a hard drive.

same man, having such a small storage drive is a big bummer and i know bc i have to repeat this often, i have only 110gb of storage, just wish that windows was smaller, was considering using linux but realized it will just be harder

[@TheRandomCommenter773]

@@PigeonPillow exactly. It feels like with every windows update it feels like it gets bigger and bigger by ten gigs and Microsoft has no interest of compressing it or making it any smaller. Recently upgraded to a 500gb SSD and still feels like it’s been eating away at it. Considering doing a wipe and looking at trusted unbolted windows versions to help prevent further issues.

another tip, especially for whom their download folder is huge and you don't want to delete anything: if you have a big hard drive, change the location of your downloads folder in the properties to a new download folder there. it will *at least on win11* also relocate every file automatically to it. it saved up over 100gb on my c drive xD

If I remember right I had to manually go in all the different folders and parse which files were needed and which weren't. Hopefully that isn't your problem, I found it somewhat fun but my answer was tedious. Probably some better way to do it, but not one that I found in all the time I spent trying to fix this.

Did you ever get around to making the CPU overclocking guide? I remember you mentioned something about it in a video no too long ago. A guide on the voltage/frequency curve editor in Afterburner would be great too.

[@cesarisaac3315]

the best for the cpu is to overclock from the bios, from windows usually causes problems, although msi afterburner is dedicated to the gpu, I do not know if you mean the cpu or gpu.

[@AnabolicSaagAloo]

@@cesarisaac3315 obviously I'd be doing it from the bios. It's actually knowing what to do is the mystery. At the minute I'm doing +200 MHz in PBO on a 5600x but Id prefer an all core manual OC.

[@cesarisaac3315]

@@AnabolicSaagAloo It is best that all cores have the same frequency, so you avoid problems. The thing is to gradually increase the speed until you reach a limit, either temperature or voltage, I think for the ryzen 5600x is 95 degrees, although it is better to stay at 85 being at full load, and with a voltage limit of 1.25 to 1.30 V I think you are safe, although it already makes me a little high, if you can overclock before reaching 1.3v, much better.

[@cesarisaac3315]

@@AnabolicSaagAloo I recommend you to install occt, it is a program specialized in making very strong tests to your cpu, gpu, ram or power supply, it is like all in one and is a wonder to make sure that your system is really stable and does not suffer from any bottleneck, either thermal or voltage.
