Free up disk space

Archiving Files

Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever looked through your drives and

found a file that makes you wonder,"Do I still need this? Not really, but I don't

really want to delete it either"?

Many users later regret having impulsively deleted files, especially personal files

such as pictures, videos or music. TuneUp Disk Space Explorer can solve this

problem for you!

Thanks to the seamless integration with Windows Explorer, you can easily

copy files to a USB stick or an external hard drive before deleting them. To do

this, click on the selected file(s) with the right mouse button and select the menu

option Copy or simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C. Then open the desired

target drive in Windows Explorer and paste the copied files there using the menu

option Paste or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V.

Thanks to support for all major CD burning programs, you can also easily burn

rarely used files to a CD or DVD. If you are running a burning pogram such as

Nero Burning Rom at the same time as TuneUp Disk Space Explorer, you can

move the desired files by dragging them with your mouse directly to the Nero

burning list.

After the files have been successfully archived, you can then delete them with a

clear conscience in TuneUp Disk Space Explorer to clear up valuable disk space.

Settings

TuneUp Disk Space Explorer lets you customize the appearance and behavior of

the software to meet your personal needs. To change the available options, click

File and then Settings.

settings are based on the settings of Windows Explorer. If you would like to use

settings that differ from those in Windows Explorer, simply select the option Use

custom settings and adjust the options to your liking.

With default settings, TuneUp Disk Space Explorer protects all elements in

system folders to prevent you from accidentally deleting or moving important

system files. If you know your system perfectly, you can deactivate this
