Piece of cake. In Win 10 type “Disk Cleanup into the search box on the task bar. The heavy duty stuff only shows after you hit “Clean Up System Files”. On my computer it took a while but it freed up a gig of disk.
For the next gig of disk I started Firefox and on the toolbar select “Options” Then select “Privacy and Security”. Look at “Cookies and site data” Firefox allows any website to store as much as it pleases on your hard drive. I hit “Remove All” and freed up another gig of disk.
Took it a while. One downside, this erases all the pass words to sites and you will have to type your password in to use the site. I have all my passwords filed for me so this is not a problem.
I don’t know why I bother. My medium speed Dell Optiplex 990 has 1.75 TERA bytes of disk so a couple of Gig is nothing. I suppose it has something to do with starting out programming many years ago on a DEC PDP-11 with a mighty 5 megabyte RK05 disk pack.
