    How do I make more room on my hard drive


    My CPU shows that my hard drive has 203 GB of storage space, but I keep getting a message that I am out of space. Right now its telling me I have 0 space available. I look at the programs and I just see the usual on a computer, such as Microsoft office, Silverlight and the usual programs that are preloaded when you buy a computer. I don't know what to do and I'm not an expert computer user. My husband had used this at work and I'm wondering if there are programs I can't find and they aren't showing up under programs that I can get rid of. Can anyone help me so that I can use this computer? I'm using Windows 7 professional

    Hi Kamrn,
    Welcome to SevenForums!
    Try running the below batch file with all boxes checked. After you download it, double-click to run. Then check all the boxes on the popup.

    Disk Cleanup Extended.bat
    I use that at least once a week when I do maintenance!

    I saved mine to C:/Windows/System32 and then setup a desktop shortcut for it.

    Hi Snick,

    Here's the code I used for my batch file...

    Code:
    @echo off
    Title Extended Disk Cleanup
    echo.
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo          Hello %username%: YOU ARE ABOUT TO RUN EXTENDED DISK CLEANUP
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo.
    echo  IMPORTANT:
    echo.
    echo  Keep this window open until cleaning has finished, it will close automatically!
    echo.
    echo     [1] To abort this process close the consol window.
    echo     [2] To continue to run Extended Disk Cleanup then press any key to continue. & pause > nul
    echo.
    echo  Running Extended Disk Cleanup...
    %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535
    I included an abort option in case the .bat file was pressed in error!

    I just realised that the code I wrote above will still run if the user presses 1 [To abort this process close the consol window.] thinking it will abort the Extended Disk Cleanup process.

    So what I have done is amended the code and included the choice parameter so the program will only run if either 1 or 2 are entered!

    I thought I would post this in case people come across this thread and want to run the Extended Disk Cleanup process.

    Here is the new code...

    Code:
    @echo off
    Title Extended Disk Cleanup
    echo.
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo          Hello %username%: YOU ARE ABOUT TO RUN EXTENDED DISK CLEANUP
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo.
    echo  Select an option:
    echo.
    echo  [1] To abort this process and close the consol window.
    echo  [2] To coninue and run Extended Disk Cleanup.
    echo.
    echo  IMPORTANT:
    echo.
    echo  Keep this window open until cleaning has finished, it will close automatically!
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo.
    CHOICE /N /C 12 /M ">Enter an option:"
    IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO Option_2
    IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Option_1
    :Option_1
    GOTO End
    :Option_2
    echo.
    echo  Running Extended Disk Cleanup...
    %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535
    GOTO End
    :End

    I'm having a hard time downloading the program, as my computer says I don't have any room

    Here is a revised script with the Extended Disk Cleanup .bat file attached.

    This script allows the user to:

    [1] Abort the program in case they double-clicked the .bat file accidentally.
    [2] Select [check] the items that they want cleaned.

    Code:
    @echo off
    Title Extended Disk Cleanup
    echo.
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo          Hello %username%: YOU ARE ABOUT TO RUN EXTENDED DISK CLEANUP.
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo.
    echo  Select an option:
    echo.
    echo  [1] To abort this process and close the consol window.
    echo  [2] To coninue and run Extended Disk Cleanup.
    echo.
    echo  IMPORTANT:
    echo.
    echo  Keep this window open until cleaning has finished, it will close automatically!
    echo  ==============================================================================
    echo.
    CHOICE /N /C 12 /M ">Enter an option:"
    IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO Option_2
    IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Option_1
    :Option_1
    GOTO End
    :Option_2
    echo.
    echo  Check the appropriate boxes for the items you want cleaned and press [OK].
    echo.
    echo  Running Extended Disk Cleanup . . .
    %ComSpec% /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535
    GOTO End
    :End
    Extended Disk Cleanup batch file [direct download] => Extended Disk Cleanup.bat
