Easy free up of a couple of Gigs of disk space

In win 10, do "disk cleanup".  You can get there from Explorer.  Right click on your C: drive and then click on "properties".  The properties window offers "disk cleanup".  Click on that to run cleanmgr.  Select "Clean up System files"  and hit "OK" to kick things off.  It's quick, and it will usually squeeze a Gig or two out of C:Windows\System32\drivestore.  At least it did for me on new laptop (Redkey)  and old desktop (Smallbox).  Every Gig of storage counts for something, even if laptop has 256 Gigs of solid state drive, and desktop has 2000 gigs of good old rotating hard drive.
