Reclaim Space after Windows 10 April 2018 Update

If you're running low on space after getting the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, use my video guide to delete the previous version to reclaim storage. During the installation of the April Update, Windows 10 makes a backup of the current setup that can be used to restore the previous configuration in case of problems during and after the upgrade. The only caveat is that even after the Windows 10 April Update was successfully installed, and it's working without a glitch, the copy of the previous version stored in the Windows.old folder is still around on your drive — wasting gigabytes of space that can be used by more important files. Although this might not be an issue for devices with large hard drives, if you have a laptop or tablet with limited storage, you can reclaim that storage space (and more). The quickest way to free up space on your device after installing the Windows 10 April 2018 Update is to use the Storage sense option. Here's how: 1. Open Settings. 2. Click on System. 3. Click on Storage. 4. Under "Local storage," click your device main drive labelled "This PC." 5. Click on Temporary Files. 6. Check the ''Previous version of Windows'' option. 7. Click the ''Remov'' files button. Once you've completed the steps, the previous installation files will be deleted from your device, reclaiming several gigabytes to store more important files. In addition to deleting the previous version backup, you can also choose to remove a number of other junk files to free up space, including temporary files from apps, Downloads folder, and those files in the recycle bin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope you liked my video.
