Storage manager has been an indispensable tool in Windows and in Windows 10 it is extremely useful and works like a charm. If you are one of the die hard Windows fans and have also used Windows Phone, you know how easy it is to use the Manage Storage feature.

It works significantly the same way on a Windows 10 machine, where it tends to collect more junk over a period of time. However, the good thing about Windows 10 is its ability to delete these temporary files from each hard drive.
Let’s see how we can do that effectively.
It’s all in Settings
One of the big changes Microsoft has made to Windows 10 is the way the GUI is presented to the user. I’ve never felt the need to use the Control Panel as much as on Windows 8.1 and below. Instead, I hit window key + I at the same time to open the main Setting Windows 10 menus.
Here, navigate to System and then let Warehouse, where you will see all the drives and partitions on the right panel. Since Windows 10 allows you to install software on any drive other than the one where Windows was installed, chances are some other drive may have temporary files, other than the C:\ drive.
However, start with the C: drive as this is where you will find most of the temporary files. You’ll need to scroll down a bit to find the option, but once you’re done, just click Delete temporary files to get rid of these.
Deleting temporary files is maintaining the health of your PC
Some or possibly all of your other drives may not have temporary files. This means that you have been very selective in installing new software, using only the C:\ drive as the download base. It’s okay, maybe we’re too used to installing anything on other drives that doesn’t make any sense to us.
Luckily, I’m not a gamer!
However, if you are a gamer that installs a lot of games on your machine, then this is a must-do activity for you. And depending on how many new games you install each week or month, you might be able to add this activity to your To-Do List Manager app.
Also, if you have a disk with less storage capacity, you should perform this operation on a regular basis. If not for anything, it will at least continue to free up some space on your PC.
