Microsoft has reported that from now on it will make two major updates to its Windows 10 system a year. This means that we will need large amounts of space on our hard drive. Something that is a problem for many because they lack it.
To solve this either we expand the physical space of the hard disk or ok we free up hard disk space. The latter can be done in a faster and easier way thanks to Windows 10 Creators Update.
The arrival of Windows 10 Creators Update has made it possible for us to have a new tool called storage sensor. This storage sensor allows us to free up space in Windows 10. For this to work, we must first activate the storage sensor and then configure it so that it does not delete files that are of vital importance to us.
The Storage Sensor is a program that runs in the background and frees up unnecessary filesystem or that we do not use daily.
This new Creators Update feature We can activate it by going to System and from there to storage. In the window that appears, we activate the option «Storage sensor«. And now we have to configure the sensor so that it does not erase something that is important to us. So on the same screen, under the tab, we go to «Change the way you free up space«. This will open a new screen where we will mark the files that we want the system to delete automatically. We will also have a button that gives us direct access to the traditional Free space program.
This storage sensor is a tool that will free us especially from temporary files brought by applications and updates but it will also help us to see which applications are consuming more space than necessary. Something that some users know through the use of external programs and that now are no longer needed Or maybe yes?
