I encounter the “Low Disk Space” warning daily in my Office PC with Windows operating system. Since I have a custom-built PC, I have partitioned the drive myself giving 25 GB for the OS. However, due to the amount of development suites installed in my PC, the OS partition soon ran out of disk space and clearing this clutter consumes most of my valuable work hours. More over the performance of the PC became poor. Finally, I found some tools, which can clear out the disk clutter most efficiently.

PROBLEM

“Low Disk Space” in Windows as a result of the temporary files accumulated over time. Windows  will alert you with a pop-out balloon warning in the System Tray as the thresholds are approached. If the affected drive is the OS partition, then PC performance will gradually decrease. Mentioned here are some of the effective disk clutter removal tools.
