Free up space on your PC
- Open Settings > System > Storage. Wait for the breakdown of apps, temporary files, and documents.
- Open Temporary files, leave Downloads unchecked unless you mean to empty it, and remove the rest.
- Open Installed apps from the storage page and uninstall apps you do not use.
- If OneDrive Files On-Demand is on, online-only files take little local space. Right-click a folder and choose Free up space to make a large folder online-only.
Emptying the Recycle Bin is included in temporary files. Check it first if you might need something you just deleted.
