My local disk C is running low on space and I need to clear some room. However, I'm not sure how to safely and effectively clear out unnecessary files and data. Can someone guide me through the process of clearing my local disk C?

If your computer has multiple drives or partitions, you will need to specify which one you wish to clean. Use the "Drives" drop-down menu to select the drive you want to focus on, typically the C: drive.
