Eventually emptying the recycle bin, uninstalling programs, and deleting temporary files will not be enough. When you have Windows low disk space notification, the question is what does one do? The short answer is to leverage a free disk space utilization tool like WindirStat or JDisk to quickly identify folders that are using disproportionately more space. That 120 GB drive that used to be enough for web surfing and the occasional Word doc or Xcel spreadset is no longer getting the job done and needs to go. Year after year as software gets more complex and personal files, music, and pictures accumulate, disk drive space continues to shrink. Just for reference our laptop came with Windows 7 preinstalled. Like most families being on a budget, we originally purchased our laptop with minimal specs to save money. Naturally being the official tech person in our family I would get an earful from the end users (my kids 😃 ) about not having our home infrastructure optimized for future growth.
Family members would be using the computer and then get the Windows Low disk space message and simply closing the notification wasn’t enough. Recently I had a family laptop that was low on hard drive space and was periodically causing “operational” issues.
