There are several methods to free up hard disk space:

  1. Empty the recycle bin.
    • Right click on the recycling bin on the desktop and press Empty Recycle Bin.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  4. If the hard drive is still close to being full, please contact ithelp@glendon.yorku.ca
