Free up space in windows

How to free up space in Windows ?

Most common method is already known to most of the people .
Running Disk cleanup which is under programs , Accessories , System tools.


Second step is to clean
 C:\Windows\ccmcache

The ccmcache folder is used by System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) client. This is where files downloaded by SCCM are stored. SCCM is an enterprise software management system used in many Windows environment, and provides operating system and software deployment services, remote management, reporting services, etc. You will typically only find this folder on systems in a managed enterprise environment.
SCCM caches files used for software deployment in the ccmcache folder. This may include software packages which are automatically installed on your machine, some types of software updates, etc. Files are not automatically removed from the ccmcache folder after they are used, but they are marked as being eligible for deletion. You should not manually delete files in this folder as you may accidentally delete something which has not been used yet. You should definitely not remove the folder altogether, as this would break SCCM and you would cease to automatically receive software packages from your network administrator.
You should be able to reduce the size of this folder using the ConfigMgr Control Panel. This will require local administrator privileges. To do this:

• Open "Configuration Manager Properties" in the control panel. You may need to change the control panel to "icon view" instead of "category view".
• Go to the "cache" tab
• Click "Configure Settings" and acknowledge the UAC Prompt if prompted
• The "Delete Files" button should become available. Click this button to clear files. It will automatically keep any files which should not be deleted.

Third Step is to
Compress C:\Windows\Installer
Right click the folder "Installer"  properties  advanced  check "Compress contents to save disk space." "OK"  "OK" again.



Fourth Step is to disable the hibernation

The file hiberfil.sys is a hidden file and will not be visible until you have enabled Show hidden folders and files under Tools,  folder options , view.

You can turn on hibernation anytime by using the
