Windows 11 offers Disk Cleanup, which you can start from the Start menu
Run Windows 11 disk cleanup
Disk cleanup can be useful if there is a lot of old or incorrect data on the computer. The cleanup then ensures that this data and/or incorrectly formatted, duplicate and unimportant information is updated or deleted. This is how you proceed with Windows version 11:
- Click on the start menu of your computer. This is usually displayed in the lower taskbar as an icon with four squares:
- Then enter the term “Disk Cleanup” in the “Search” field. The highest match will then be “Disk Cleanup System” in the first place.
- Open this “App” by clicking on “Run as administrator”. Then select the drive (C:) and you will be taken directly to the system data cleanup.
- You can also delete updates, old Defender and the previous Windows version (windows.old) if you wish.
