How to clean up and regain some hard disk space如何清理和恢复一些硬盘空间

Recently I realized that my three (3) year old machine is running slowly.最近，我意识到我的三（3）岁的电脑运行缓慢。 Every time I launch an application, it would take at least a minute for it to load up.每次我启动一个应用程序，也需要至少一分钟，它装载了。

Checking through the available space on my hard disk, I see that only 2.5 GB out of 74.4 GB space is available.通过检查可用空间在我的硬盘上，我看到只有2.5 GB的出74.4 GB的可用空间。 This must be the reason why my machine is running slowly.这必须是为什么我的机器运行速度慢。 Ever since I started using the machine, it has not been cleaned up in anyway.自从我开始使用计算机，但并没有被清理的动摇。 Short to say, everything goes in, nothing comes out!短地说，一切顺利的，没有出来！

At the same time, I also needed some space to install a database to work on some programming assignment.同时，我也需要一些空间来安装一个数据库，对一些编程工作任务。 Since the size of the database is at least 10 GB, I need to clean up and regain enough hard disk space to be able to start work.由于数据库的大小至少是10 GB的，我需要清理，恢复足够的硬盘空间才能开始工作。 Otherwise, I'm stuck as I can't go screaming to my boss..否则，我坚持我不能尖叫我的老板去.. I need a new server with big hard disk capacity!我需要一个大的硬盘容量新的服务器！ Times are bad and I'm sure my boss won't spend money on a new server just like that.时代是坏的，我相信我的老板不会花1就这样，新的服务器的钱。

With this challenge, the only thing I could do is to delete unwanted files and backup the necessary ones to an external HDD.这一挑战，我唯一可以做的是删除不需要的文件和必要的备份到外部硬盘。 This task itself is a challenge because I do not know where the big files are.这项任务本身就是一个挑战，因为我不知道大文件。 Imagine 3 years of data sitting deep inside folders.想象一下坐在深3年的数据文件夹内。 How would I know which folder holds to the big files?怎么会，我知道这个文件夹包含的大文件？

Then I remember a tool by the name of然后我记得这个名字的工具 SC-DiskInfo资深大律师，DiskInfo introduced by a SQL Server instructor many years ago.通过SQL Server讲师引入多年前。 The good thing about this tool, it displays your machine's disk space usage and shows which folders take up the most space.关于此工具是一件好事，它会显示您的计算机的磁盘空间使用情况，并显示哪些文件夹占用的大部分空间。 So yes, you will be able to easily spot the folder which takes up the most space.所以，是的，你可以很容易地发现的文件夹中占据了大部分空间。

Running the tool, I can easily drill down deeply into folders which were taking up most of the space.运行该工具，我可以很容易地深入到文件夹中深深其中占用了大部分空间。 From the screenshot above, obviously most of the big files are residing in the Desktop folder.从上面的截图，明显是大文件大多居住在桌面文件夹中。 Drilling in, I found some sub folders storing some music and video files which I have forgotten that the files even exist.钻井，我发现了一些子文件夹存储了一些音乐和视频，我忘记了这些文件，甚至存在的文件。 All these while, those big files were sitting in there clogging up and slowing the machine down without me realizing it.而所有这些，那些大文件是坐在那儿堵塞和减缓机，又不我意识到这一点。 Shucks, I should have ran this tool much earlier.胡说，我应该执行这个工具要早得多。

So from just 2.45 GB, I managed to regain some hdd space to about 21.5 GB.因此，从只有2.45 GB的，我设法收复一些硬盘空间约21.5 GB的。

Next, I ran the Windows XP Disk Cleanup utility.接下来，我运行 Windows XP的磁盘清理工具。 From there, I also managed to get another 17 GB!从那里，我还成功地让另外17 GB的！ See the screenshot below:看下面的截图：

You will be surprise to see how hugh the temporary files are on your machine.你会惊奇地看到如何庞大的临时文件是在你的机器。 Just a note that the clean up process can take quite a while.只是注意清理过程可能需要相当长的一段。 Mine took at least 3 hours to run.矿用了至少3小时运行。

Anyway, I'm happy now that my machine performs better and faster.无论如何，我现在很快乐，我的机器性能更好，更快。 For those of you needing to clean up and regain some hard disk space, give对于那些需要清理，恢复一些硬盘空间，让 SC-DiskInfo资深大律师，DiskInfo and Windows XP Disk Cleanup a try now and do let me know how much space you've regained.和Windows XP的磁盘清理现在尝试做让我知道你多大的空间已经恢复。
