Hello Friends,
Please list some unnecessary folders in C: Drive, particularly in Windows Folder.
There is very less space remaining in C: Drive.

Thanks in advance!

Deleting folders will not give you the space you want.

1) How large is the drive and how much free space is on c: drive?

2) Is c: the only partition? If not, how many partitions are there and how much free space is on them?

3) You will gain a huge amount of space by disabling System Restore. If you decide to do this, you should start using disc imaging software on a regular basis.

4) You can also limit the space used by the Temporary Internet Files Folder in Internet Options

5) Empty your Temp folder and the recycle bin

6) If you have more than one drive or partition you can use the My Documents folder to another location

7) And of course you can get a larger drive
