My workstation's hard drive is full. How can I free up space on it?
There are several methods to free up hard disk space:
- Empty the recycle bin.
- Right click on the recycling bin on the desktop and press Empty Recycle Bin.
- Perform a disk cleanup:
- Press the Windows key or click on the start menu.
- Start typing disk cleanup and press enter.
- Select the files you wish to delete.
- Change how much mail to keep offline (Outlook, Windows 10).
Click File > Account Settings > Account Settings.
- Select your Exchange or Office 365 account, and then click Change.
-
Under Offline Settings, move the slider to 3 months. Note - this will not delete the exisiting emails, only prevent copies from being held past 3 months.
-
Close and restart Outlook.
