How to Free Up Storage on Your PC or Mac

Deleted files still take up storage until emptied.

Check Downloads, Videos, and Documents for items you no longer need.

Some apps take gigabytes of space without you noticing.

• Windows: Storage Sense
   
• Mac: Manage Storage under System Settings
   

These apps show what categories take the most space.

Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or iCloud can store large media folders.

Browsers, system logs, and apps create data over time.

These are often the largest files on both computers and phones.

External SSDs or HDDs are inexpensive expansion options.

If you want a custom cleanup or storage upgrade plan, we can help during an IT support session.
