How to Free Up C Drive Space: 27 Specific Optimization Techniques

Recently, TechWeb published an article titled "How to Free Up C Drive Space in Windows." I feel that the details could be expanded further, so I wrote the following article focusing on specific methods we can use to increase C drive space when it is insufficient in the Windows operating system.

1. Open "My Computer" - "Tools" - "Folder Options" - "View" - check the option for "Show all files and folders" - "OK"

2. Delete the contents of the following folders:

- All files under `x:\Documents and Settings\Username\Cookies` (keep the index file)

- All files under `x:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp` (user temporary files)

- All files under `x:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files` (page files)
