Tips for De-Cluttering Your Computer

If you’re like most people, the computers in your life tend to accumulate clutter over time.  Hard drives fill up with pictures, videos, and all sorts of other files.  If left unchecked the whole machine might even begin to bog down.  It’s an easily corrected situation, if you know where to look.

First things first, assess where your storage capacity is being stressed.  You could do this manually, searching the many folders and subfolders through Windows Explorer for big unused files, but that can be a tedious task.  Fortunately, there are better tools!  For this process I like to use WinDirStat: http://windirstat.info/

This little tool makes it much easier to see what you’re actually storing.  It displays the content of your hard drive(s) in a directory list, for easy sorting, but it also has a graphical representation of those files.  Individual file types are color coded and folders, including their subfolders, are grouped.  I recommend turning on the “Show Free Space” setting, located under the “Options” menu, in order to get a better perspective on free vs. used space.
