What are some methods for cleaning up the C drive in the Windows system?
Hello everyone, my computer's C drive is running out of space. I followed the instructions online to clean it up, but it didn't work. Are there any other reliable ways to clean it up?

You can directly delete temp folders, but it's best to do this after a reboot when files aren't in use.
Press Win + R, type %temp%, and press Enter. This opens the Temp folder.
Select all files (Ctrl + A) and delete them (Shift + Delete to skip the Recycle Bin). It's normal for some files to be "in use" and unable to be deleted; just skip them.
Also, press Win + R, type temp, and press Enter. Delete the contents of this folder as well.
