Lesson 65: Checking Your Computer's Storage

How to Check and Manage Your Computer's Storage Space

It's Day 65, and today we'll learn how to check your computer's storage and free up space if necessary. Keeping an eye on storage helps your computer run smoothly.

How to Check Your Storage:

1. On Windows: Open Settings → System → Storage. This shows how much space you have and what types of files are taking up the most room (e.g., documents, photos, apps).
   
   

2. On Mac: Go to Apple Menu → About This Mac → Storage. You'll see a breakdown of what's using your hard drive space.

Why It's Important:

Running out of storage space can slow down your computer. Checking your storage regularly ensures you have enough space for important files and prevents performance issues.

Try It Out:

Check your computer's storage using the steps above. If your storage is almost full, consider deleting files you no longer need or transferring them to an external drive.

Pro Tip:

If you're low on storage, use cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud to store files without taking up space on your hard drive.
