Clean up your disk and eliminate registry errors with this free program, CCleaner 
First of all, download and install the program. It’s a simple step that takes little time. 
You will find the download link (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner) in the description of this video. Start the program. 

In the “Cleaner” tab you can check boxes next to the files you want to delete. I will leave default settings as they are. Click “Analyze” and wait for some time, then click “Run Cleaner.”
Ready.
In the “Registry” tab, click on “Scan for issues,” wait for some time and then click “Fix selected issues...”
Ready.
You have cleaned the disk from junk files and fixed registry errors.  The operating system will work quicker and smoother now. 

Note. Don’t worry: all important files of the operating system and your personal data will be intact. 

Find the files that take up most of disk space with a free program WinDirStat.
First of all, download and install the program. It’s a simple step that takes little time. 
You will find the download link (https://windirstat.net/download.html) in the description of this video.

Start the program. 
Disk selection window appears, and I select the system drive C.
Ok. Wait. The scanning will take some time.
Ready.  The application has scanned disk C and showed which folders, file types and files take up most disk space.  Make sure that you are not going to delete any important system files – it’s safer to delete personal files only. If a folder of some program in Program Filestakes up much space, you can delete it – WinDirStat will show you how much space it takes, even if you can’t see it in Programs and Features.

Find and delete duplicate files with a free program VisiPics
First of all, download and install the program. It’s a simple step that takes little time. 
You will find the download link in the description of this video.
Start the program. 
You should select the disk to search for duplicate files and add it to the list for analysis. In my case, it is disk C. Add it.
Click on the “Start” button. Now wait - it can take some time.

Ready.

As we can see, the program found several duplicates taking up quite a lot of space. Select the unnecessary copies of this file and delete them. Ready.
Now you can see that I’ve managed to free up enough space in disk C.
Make sure that you are not going to delete any important system files – it’s safer to delete personal files only.
