After my Windows 10 desktop system has been up and running for a few weeks, I decided to remove the old Windows 8.1 install that the Windows 10 upgrade created. Found out it will save (
gain) me about
20gb in storage space... big deal if you you want to port over to a smaller sized SSD drive. I have 112gb's in use and wanted to use a 120gb SSD. Makes sense to remove the old install. I used the built-in
Windows Disk Cleanup tool (
right click on drive and click
properties)
I usually use
CCleander for nice clean up but decided on using the built in to see how well it works.
Another utility from the
Piriform folks is
Defraggler. It will move files that normal Windows Defrag will not. Just had an issue yesterday where Windows Defrag was complaining about unmoveable files that Defraggler moved for me :) This product works well and is fast. IOBit's Smart Defrag is also a good choice but I think Defraggler out performs. (
personal opinion)
