These numerous processes run all the time, working in the background mode without the user’s knowledge. Downloading pictures, music and videos or installing new software and games by the user only make things worse. That is why it is vital to clean the system drive regularly.

Standard uninstallation
We often install programs which we use rarely or almost never.  Sometimes, software can be installed without our knowing it - it is known as background mode - when we add another codec package or a torrent client etc.
In order to get rid of unnecessary software, right-click on the Start menu and select “Control Panel,” then go to “Programs and Features.”

Sort them by installation date: you will certainly find a couple of programs you haven’t used for a long time. 
Right-click on the name of the unnecessary program and click “Delete.”

Deleting files from browser and torrent downloads folders
All of us download so many things from the Internet: software, music and pictures. We also use torrents and other downloading programs. As a result,  a downloads folder can grow to dozens of gigabytes. 
Let us clean it.
Go to “This PC,” and click on “Downloads” in the “Quick access” section.  Select everything or only the files you don’t need and press the key sequence “Shift + del”. Ready.

How to clean disk C from unnecessary files with Disk Cleanup tool
Disk Cleanup will help you to delete all unnecessary system files: Windows Old folder, restore points, temporary files after system and driver updates or installation of programs.  At the same time, all documents, installed programs and the operating system will be intact. 
I will show how to do it in Windows 10, but this advice is also good for Windows 8 or Windows 7 users. Follow these steps:


Press Windows + r key sequence.
Enter “cleanmgr” in the Run field and click OK.
In this window you have to select the disk you want to clean. 
In my case, it will be disk C - it is a system drive that needs special care to make sure the operating system runs smoothly and quickly.
Click OK.
Wait for the analysis to be over. It can take some time.
Disk Cleanup window appears.
You can check the boxes for what you want to clean. For example, “Temporary Internet files,” “Recycle Bin,” “Temporary files.”
I will keep all items checked.
Below, you can see how much space you can free up.
Click OK, then “Delete files” and wait for the operation to be completed. It can take some time.
Note. Don’t worry: the disk will only be cleaned from temporary and unecessary files created by the system when you work with the computer. All your personal data will be intact.

As you can see, I managed to free some space in the system drive in just a few minutes.
