  1. How to clear storage


    My device only has 57.1GB and system and reserved takes up 31.5GB. It shows that other people takes up 7.87GB but when I click into it and press manage other people, there is no other user. and apps and features takes up 12.4GB but the largest app only takes up 715MB and there is only 40 apps. I look through my file explorer and cannot find anything that takes up space.

    :)

  2. Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


    I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:
    1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
    2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
    3. Restart Windows.
    I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?
