How can I do a disk cleanup on Windows 11?
Uninstalling unused apps is an excellent way to free up additional space and improve your PC’s performance. It's often recommended to do this before or in addition to running Disk Cleanup on Windows 11 because it removes entire programs, which can free up more space than just deleting temporary files.
How to Uninstall Unused Apps on Windows 11:
1. Open Settings:
Click the Start button or press the Windows key.
Click on Settings (gear icon), or press Windows + I to open Settings directly.
2. Navigate to Apps:
In the Settings window, select Apps from the sidebar.
Click on Installed apps.
3. Review and Uninstall:
You'll see a list of all installed apps.
Scroll through or use the search box to find apps you no longer need.
Click on an app, then select Uninstall.
Confirm any prompts to remove the app.
Once again, I would like to emphasize: It's often recommended to do this before or in addition to running Disk Cleanup on Windows 11 because it removes entire programs,
