You free up disk space after you install Windows 10 1809

Εάν εγκαταστήσατε τα Windows 10 έκδοση 1809 “ 2018 Update” ίσως να παρατηρήσατε ότι ο ελεύθερος χώρος στο δίσκο σας μειώθηκε σημαντικά. Μπορείτε να κερδίσετε μέχρι 20 Gigabytes διαγράφοντας απλά τα παλιά αρχεία εγκατάστασης.

With the installation of each new major version of windows 10, your operating system during the upgrade saves many files from the previous installed of and fills your hard drive with data you won't need again if your upgrade is successful.

The reason why these files are stored is if something goes wrong during the installation, so the operating system can safely return to the previous version of Windows. However, if your upgrading was successful and everything works perfectly, then you do not need to keep these files. You can win back all this space by following the simple instructions below.

Before proceeding: Note that deleting these files will remove the ability to uninstall them Update. You will not be able to restore the previous version of Windows.

Step 1: Open the settings.
Step 2: Go to System> Storage.
Step 3: Do in the “Change how you automatically free up space” link under the Storage Control option.


Step 4: On the next page, find and mark “delete previous versions of Windows”.


Step 5: Click the "Clear Now" button

This is! Your command will remove all the files you have selected in the list.

The second alternative is to go to Settings> System> Storage and press the "Free now" command.

A list of options for different types of temporary files will appear. Highlight "Previous Installation (s) of Windows" and click "Remove Files"

The third alternative is to use the classic Disk Cleanup Tool, Disk Cleanup. Cleanup Disk is an essential Windows system tool that allows you to delete various junk files created by the operating system to save space on your disk. Although Microsoft is withdrawing the classic "Disk Cleanup" application, it can be used in Windows 3 version 10. Here's how:

Step 1: Click the Win + R shortcut keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
Step 2: In the Run dialog box type cleanmgr and press OK. Windows 10 will run the cleanmgr.


Step 3: Select the system where Windows is installed. Usually it is C: and press OK key
Step 4: Click the "System File Cleaner" button to go to the Extended Disk Cleanup tool.


Step 5: Find and select “Previous installation (s)”.


Step 6: Click OK and you are done.

In our example, we have won 19,6 GB free disk space. It may not be important for those who have many and large capacity drives, but there are machines that have a single disk (laptop, tablet) that if filled with other kinds of files and jobs, 20 GB is valuable.
