How to clean up and regain some hard disk space如何清理和恢復一些硬盤空間

Recently I realized that my three (3) year old machine is running slowly.最近，我意識到，我的三（3）年的舊機器運行緩慢。 Every time I launch an application, it would take at least a minute for it to load up.我每次啟動一個應用程序，也需要至少1分鐘為它加載了。

Checking through the available space on my hard disk, I see that only 2.5 GB out of 74.4 GB space is available.通過檢查可用空間我的硬盤，我看到只有2.5 GB的出74.4 GB的可用空間。 This must be the reason why my machine is running slowly.這一定是我的機器的原因是運行速度很慢。 Ever since I started using the machine, it has not been cleaned up in anyway.自從我開始使用機器，但至今沒有得到清理，無論如何。 Short to say, everything goes in, nothing comes out!短期說，在一切順利，沒有出來！

At the same time, I also needed some space to install a database to work on some programming assignment.同時，我還需要一些空間來安裝一個數據庫，以便對一些編程的工作任務。 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.由於該數據庫的大小至少是10 GB的，我要清理和恢復足夠的硬盤空間，可以開始工作。 Otherwise, I'm stuck as I can't go screaming to my boss..否則，我卡，我不能去我的老闆尖叫.. I need a new server with big hard disk capacity!我需要一個新的服務器硬盤容量大！ Times are bad and I'm sure my boss won't spend money on a new server just like that.時報是不好的，我敢肯定，我的老闆不會花錢上一個新的服務器就是這樣。

With this challenge, the only thing I could do is to delete unwanted files and backup the necessary ones to an external HDD.面對這一挑戰，我唯一可以做的是刪除不需要的文件和備份有需要的外部硬盤驅動器。 This task itself is a challenge because I do not know where the big files are.這個任務本身就是一個挑戰，因為我不知道哪裡有大的文件。 Imagine 3 years of data sitting deep inside folders.想像一下，3年的數據文件夾坐在內心深處。 How would I know which folder holds to the big files?我怎麼會知道哪個文件夾中保存的大文件？

Then I remember a tool by the name of然後我記得有一個工具的名稱 SC-DiskInfo第SC - DiskInfo introduced by a SQL Server instructor many years ago.介紹了一個 SQL Server的教練很多年以前。 The good thing about this tool, it displays your machine's disk space usage and shows which folders take up the most space.好在這個工具，它顯示您的計算機的磁盤空間使用情況，並顯示哪些文件夾佔用的空間最大。 So yes, you will be able to easily spot the folder which takes up the most space.所以，是的，你將能夠輕鬆點的文件夾中佔據了大部分空間。

Running the tool, I can easily drill down deeply into folders which were taking up most of the space.運行該工具，我可以很容易地深入深入到其中的文件夾佔用了大部分空間。 From the screenshot above, obviously most of the big files are residing in the Desktop folder.從上面的截圖中，最明顯的大文件是居住在桌面文件夾。 Drilling in, I found some sub folders storing some music and video files which I have forgotten that the files even exist.鑽井時，我發現了一些子文件夾存放一些音樂和視頻文件，我忘記了這些文件存在。 All these while, those big files were sitting in there clogging up and slowing the machine down without me realizing it.而所有這些，那些大文件被堵塞在那裡坐著，並減緩了機器沒有我意識到這一點。 Shucks, I should have ran this tool much earlier.胡說，我應該跑這個工具要早得多。

So from just 2.45 GB, I managed to regain some hdd space to about 21.5 GB.因此，從剛剛 2.45 GB的，我設法恢復一些硬盤空間約 21.5 GB的。

Next, I ran the Windows XP Disk Cleanup utility.接下來，我跑在 Windows XP的磁盤清理實用工具。 From there, I also managed to get another 17 GB!從那裡，我還成功地讓另外17 GB的！ See the screenshot below:見下面的截圖：

You will be surprise to see how hugh the temporary files are on your machine.你會驚喜地看到如何休臨時文件在您的機器。 Just a note that the clean up process can take quite a while.只要一提的是清理過程可能需要相當一段時間。 Mine took at least 3 hours to run.礦井發生在至少3個小時運行。

Anyway, I'm happy now that my machine performs better and faster.無論如何，我很高興現在我的機器性能更好，更快。 For those of you needing to clean up and regain some hard disk space, give對於那些你需要清理和恢復一些硬盤空間，讓 SC-DiskInfo第SC - DiskInfo and Windows XP Disk Cleanup a try now and do let me know how much space you've regained.和Windows XP的磁盤清理現在嘗試做讓我知道你多大的空間已經恢復。
