How to Manage your Hard Drive

Please identify yourself as an administrator or an administrator group member.

Press the Start -> Play button. Enter "compmgmt.msc" and press the "OK" button. Alternately, you can click the Workspace/Computer symbol with the right mouse button and select the Manage option.

In the console structure, select "Dataträgerverwaltung." The Dataträger­verwaltung window appears. Your drives and data storage devices will be shown as a graphic and a list. To adjust the display of your workbooks and data storage devices in the upper and below window areas, select either Oben or Unten from the menu view and click on the view you wish to use.

Go through one of the following procedures in the Dataträgerverwaltung window, and then continue with Step 2:

  • You can create a new partition by using the right mouse button to click on the available storage on the base platter where you want to create the partition. Following that, select "Partition erstellen."
  • To create a new logical runwork, use the right mouse button to click on the empty space on an expanded partition where you want to create the logical runwork, and then select "Logisches Laufwerk erstellen."

Click "Continue" to create new partitions in the assistant.

Click "Continue" after selecting the type of partition you want to create (primary, expanded, or logical) and pressing "Next."

Enter the partition’s size in MB in the Partitionsgröße field, then click "Continue."

You can manually arrange the workbooks, have the system automatically start the workbook, or assign no workbooks to the new partition or the logarithmic workbook. Click "Continue" after that.

Proceed to enter the desired formatting options (e.g., enter a work description) by using one of the following procedures:

  • Should the partition not need to be formatted, select "Diese Partition nicht formatieren" and then select "Continue."
  • To format the partition, click "Diese Partition mit folgenden Einstellungen formatieren" and fill out the fields in the Formatting Dialog box.

Verify the accuracy of the options you have chosen, then click "Fertig stellen."

The new workspace should now be presented on the computer or workstation with the new workspace designation and workspace bookstabs.


Let’s discuss my hard drive management strategy.

Start the dataträger administration by logging in as an administrator or member of the administrator group and selecting Start -> Ausführen. Enter "compmgmt.msc" and press the "OK" button.

Ihre Laufwerke und Datenträger werden in einer Liste und als Grafik angezeigt in der Konsolenstruktur der Datenträgerverwaltung.

Adjust the display of your workbooks and data storage devices in the upper and below window areas by selecting Oben or Unten in the menu view.

The right mouse button can be used to click on the available storage of the base platter and select "Partition erstellen" to create a new partition or logical runwork on the platter.

If you would like assistance creating new partitions, select the desired partition type (primary, expanded, or logical run-work) and enter the partition’s size.

The keyboard shortcuts can be manually entered or automatically accessed by the system. You can also indicate whether or not the partition should be formatted.

Verify the options you’ve chosen, and the new workspace will appear on your desk or computer along with the new workspace’s name and alphabet.


Let’s investigate how to make space on my hard drive.

  1. UNINSTALL APPS AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT NEEDED
    Even if you’re not using an old app on a regular basis, it could still be there. Take charge of your laptop’s storage by learning how to remove unnecessary apps that occupy space.

  2. CLEAN UP YOUR PC
    There’s a better method, albeit many of us keep everything on our desktop by default. Your computer may run slower if it has a lot of desktop clutter since these files need operational memory to display continuously.

  3. DISCOVER MONSTER FILES
    The majority of computers store data relatively effectively, but certain file types can take up storage space that you don’t have.

  4. APPLY THE TOOL FOR DISK CLEANUP
    Are you wondering how to free up disk space without needing to install additional software? This useful tool is pre-installed on Windows 10 computers and offers a one-click method for removing superfluous operating system files and a productive way to free up disk space.

  5. THROW TEMPORARY FILES AWAY
    Cleaning your cache and cookies is one of the simplest ways to free up storage space. A trail of files, including text, image, and cookie files, is left behind by websites you visit, speeding up your subsequent visits.

  6. MANAGE DOWNLOADS
    One of the easiest ways to increase the amount of space on a laptop hard drive is to go through the extensive list of downloads you probably have on your computer.

  7. AVOID THE CLOUD
    Eventually, you could run out of space on your desktop or laptop for all the stuff you want to keep. Experts advise routinely backing up crucial files to your preferred cloud storage provider for this reason, among others.
