Steps

Method One

1. 1
   Look at every file you have. You should probably make a single folder to hold all the items. Go through the default folders (e.g. if you have Windows check "My Documents") and move all the items there.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Create a folder for important items, so you won't accidentally delete them.And keep them on other partition, other than the partition in which OS resides(In Windows). Examples of important items include: credit card information, tax information, etc.
   
   
   
3. 3
   Separate the remaining files into folders based on when you last looked at them. Example folder names: 1 month ago, 2 months ago, etc.
4. 4
   Delete files you haven't used in a long time. Just delete them all. You won't need them. Your computer will thank you.
   
   
   
5. 5
   Alternate Methods AKA ways to not delete items you don't want to part with:
6. 6
   Package files you don't use often into RAR archives. This will compress your old files to a smaller size.
   
   
   
7. 7
   Take backup of data on regular basis on external storage devices.
8. 8
   Spend some money and buy a new hard drive.
9. 9
   In future, clearly name files and don't give them abbreviated names which you may forget the meaning of. You could make a folder of things that you will need for a little while, and delete things from here when you "spring clean".

Method Two

1. 1
   Go on favorites.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Right click on a file.
   
   
   
3. 3
   Click delete.
   
   
   
4. 4
   Repeat until you deleted all the useless files.

Tips

• In the future, try to keep your files more organised by using folders.

Warnings

• Don't delete anything containing important information you may need in the future, like tax information. Put these files in a folder named something like "IMPORTANT" so you don't delete them by accident.
