    what is the use of folders (ESD, Recovery and SWSetup)

    I am posting some screenshots of files on my system . I used TreeSize tool to find the space used by files.

    I want to know which of these files I can delete so that I can save space on my laptop.

    what is the use of folders (ESD, Recovery and SWSetup)

    Hi, C:\Recovery\WindowsRE
    - linked to the ability to perform tasks on the Recovery partition.

    C:\ESD
    e.g. searching tenforums ->
    ESD folder on disk C
    What'''s this ESD folder in C: and can I delete it? : techsupport

    C;\SWsetup
    includes a lof of msi files related to both programs and drivers, and more.

    For example, when you uninstall programs, you may have noted there's also sometimes a repair option.
    Deleting the related file here would cause that option to fail.

    See:
    Free Up Drive Space in Windows 10

    In particular do you need hibernation? For many with a SSD there's little benefit.

    If you use Wiztree's cushion map

    Whats C:\swsetup [​IMG]

    you may find that more revealing. I find dmp files sometimes accumulate and add locations to what Ccleaner cleans based on what I see here.

    Try using Google for more:
