1. In Windows 10, press the "Win+R" key, enter "%temp%" and press the Enter key to open the temporary folder.

2. In this folder, delete all files and folders. Note: Some files may not be deleted because they are being used by other programs, you can choose to skip or delete later.

Method 2: Free up disk space

Windows comes with a tool that can free up disk space, which can be used to clean up useless files and programs. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. Press the "Win+R" keys, enter "cleanmgr" and press the Enter key to open the Disk Cleanup tool.

2. In the pop-up interface, select the disk to be cleaned, in this example it is the C drive.

3. Click the "Cleanup System Files" button, and in the opened system file cleanup interface, select the disk to be cleaned up.

4. After checking the items to be cleaned, click the "OK" button to clean up.

Method 3: Disable the System Restore feature

The system restore function can help you restore the system to a previous state, but it also consumes a lot of disk space. Consider disabling System Restore to free up disk space. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. From the Start menu, right-click This PC, and select Properties.

2. In the properties window, select the System Protection tab.

3. In the tab, select the disk to disable system restore (here take the C disk as an example), and then click the "Configure" button.

4. In the pop-up window, select the "Turn off system protection" option, and then click the "Apply" and "OK" buttons.

Method 4: Move User Files

User-generated files like photos, music, etc. also take up hard drive space. If you have multiple hard drives, you can consider transferring these files to another hard drive to free up space on the C drive. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. In the file explorer, select the file or folder you want to move, then right-click and select "Cut" (or press the shortcut key "Ctrl+X").

2. Open the folder of the target hard disk you want to move the file or folder to (such as the D drive), then right-click in this folder and select "Paste" (or press the "Ctrl+V" shortcut key).

3. After you have moved all files or folders to the destination hard drive, you can choose to delete all files in their original locations.

Method 5: Uninstall unnecessary programs

Uninstalling programs you don't need can also free up hard drive space. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. Open the "Control Panel", click "Programs and Features".

2. Find the program you want to uninstall and click it. Tip: If you're not sure which programs you can uninstall, you can sort by installation date and view recently installed programs.

3. Click the "Uninstall" button and follow the prompts to uninstall.

Method 6: Use Tencent Butler to help clean up

Method 7: Move some software on the C disk of Tencent Butlerware to other disks

 

If you go back on your word and don't want to move, you want to restore

Note: During the moving process, if the housekeeper prompts that the move failed, give up, otherwise the file will be damaged and the software cannot be used normally.
