Is your hard disk drive or solid state drive filling up fast? Want to free up disk space on your Windows 10 PC? In this guide, we will discuss all the ways out there to free up drive space in Windows 10.

In no particular order, following are the 19 ways to free up drive space in Windows 10.
Uninstall unwanted apps and programs
You are aware of this, and probably have done this already. If not, uninstall unwanted programs and apps right away to free up disk space. Some of the programs out there consume GBs of valuable disk space.
By navigating to Settings app > Apps > Apps & features you can view disk space being used by apps and programs. You can also uninstall apps and programs right from this page.
You can also consider uninstalling not so useful native apps to free up drive space in Windows 10. Refer to our how to uninstall default apps in Windows 10 guide for instructions.
Turn off hibernation to free up drive space
Before you start complaining, let us make it clear that we suggest to turn off the hibernation feature only if you are not using it or don’t know what the hibernation feature is.
Hibernation feature, when turned on, creates hyberfil.sys file which takes about the size of the RAM installed on your PC. For instance, if your PC is equipped with 8 GB of RAM, the hibernation feature takes about 7 GB of disk space.
Remember that hibernation feature is turned on by default in Windows 10 but it’s not added to the Start menu by default. So, make sure that it’s turned off if you don’t use it. And if you don’t want to turn it off, consider reducing the size of the hibernation file.
Here is how to disable the hibernation feature
Step 1: Open Command Prompt as administrator by typing CMD in the Start/taskbar search field, right-click on Command Prompt entry and then click Run as administrator.
Step 2: In the elevated Command Prompt, type powercfg /hibernate off and then press Enter key to turn off the hibernation feature and free up space.
