  1. Disk C still full after deleting many things


    Hello, My disk C is super full even though I delete many things from the computer.I noticed that one app is taking the majority of the space so I tried deleting it, however, it keeps telling me it cannot be found - "Windows cannot find '2.1.2.0'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again'. I am attaching a picture of my app page. How can I get rid of this?Thank you,

    :)

  2. Disk Clean-up showing nothing to delete from Recovery Image (DDisk C still full after deleting many things :)

    Hi Bradley,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Disk Clean up. I will surely help you.

    I suggest you to manually delete the temporary files.

    Kindly follow the below mentioned steps to delete the temporary files:

    • Press Windows logo key + R
      key to run Run Command, type %temp%, and hit
      Enter
      .
    • Delete all the files in the folder.
    • Go to C:/Windows/Prefetch and delete all the files except the
      ReadyBoot folder.
    • Go to C:/Windows/Temp and delete all the files.
    • Restart the computer, and now check the disk space.

    We don't recommend you to delete any system default application.

    Please write us back, if you still face difficulty with Disk Clean up. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Disk C still full after deleting many things ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
