Trick 2: Browser and thumbnail caches:

The browser cache stores links of the site that you browse which makes it easier for the browser to fetch contents next time you load that site. But these cache is stored in form of folder in our computer consuming more storage space with its huge collection of files. The information stored in these pages are sometimes corrupt or incomplete that may also create trouble. So it is better to get rid of all these thumbnail caches. Go to the browser (here we are dealing with google chrome), and click ctrl + shift + del. “Clear browsing data” page will open check the items you want to delete from the browsing history and click on “Clear browsing data”.

This does not consumes battery but definitely consumes space since it stores this huge file in RAM temporarily. So better is to disable Hibernation Cache if you are not using it. Go to the Start menu and click on the Command Prompt. When Command Prompt opens type “powercfg –h off” (without quotes). Press Enter and type exit. Now restart your computer. If you want to check whether it’s is disabled or not open the C Drive, you will not find hyberfile.sys there.

Trick 4: clean the “Recycle Bin”:

Whatever file you clean it all gets stored in the Recycle Bin, because the Windows does not clean it altogether. Keep emptying the bin so as to free up the memory space.
