How to perform a Disk Cleanup

What is Disk Cleanup?

Disk Cleanup is a Windows maintenance utility. This utility is designed to free up disk space on a computer hard drive. The way Disk Cleanup works is by scanning and analyzing the hard drive to see if there are files that are no longer needed. Disk Cleanup then removes the unnecessary files and frees up more available space.
