Low disk space on a PC can cause problems. Temporary and cached files can be cleaned using Disk Cleanup, but it does not remove duplicate files which often take up significant space. Duplicate files are copies of documents, media files, and other items created by Windows and other software during normal use and file copying. Downloading a duplicate file finder and deleting unnecessary duplicates can free up tens of gigabytes of space. Modifying a registry setting can also disable low disk space checks and resulting notifications.

1. WHY LOWDISKSPACE
IS DANGEROUS FOR
YOURPC
A low disk space balloon notification may appear while your computer is running. This
article describes the condition in which you may go through this or similar situation.

2. Simply when clicked that balloon notification, Disk CleanUp tool will open. This tool isn’t sufficient to remove large
number of temporary files. It comes with Windows and has its own limitations. It can clean temporary files,
downloaded program files, web cache, and some other items. It doesn’t provide set of all features in single
tool- like cleaning browsing data, form-fill-up data and passwords. These options are only found separately
within your web browser; not in the Disk CleanUp tool.

3. One important thing, none of these Windows features provide a tool to clean-up duplicate files. If you’re not
aware about duplicate files, these files occupy a large size of your hard disk. Clone copies of documents,
music, videos, images and other files are created by Windows and other software while working. Not just
automatically, we too create these files especially while copying stuff from one location to other. Such stuff
remains on your hard disk undeleted, without any reason. It occupies tens of GBs of your hard disk and thus
the PC runs into low disk problem.
