Tips to free up some space on your PC And Android device.

Even the computers nowadays come up with 1 TB of space it seems that it is still not enough for some people.

So here are some few tips to clear out the unnecessary files and get more space for the important things.

1. Use Disk cleanup feature.

if you are using windows 7 or ahead type in disk cleanup in the search bar. and click on disk cleanup. then a small window will appear select a drive from it. start with the C drive because it has a lot of system files and other data which the normal user doesn't know about and with time these system files start taking more and more space.

The disk clean up provides the options to clear out this system files like temporary files, internet cache and other files also, recycle bin and some other small files like error reports etc. 
























You must be thinking I have a clean recycle bin because I use shift delete every time, but that is not the case. whenever you use the delete option through an app or software it basically puts that data to recycle bin or sometimes you accidentally press just delete and not shift delete so your recycle bin is not as empty as you think. I just freed up 16 GB just from recycle bin.

so check out disk clean up option it clears a lot of storage. 


2.Use Disk compression.

Windows provide an option to compress the saved files in the disk. this will automatically compress the files in your disk and will give you more free space.
Don't worry you don't have to decompress them at all. everything will behave normally, but you will save some space.

just right click on the disk you want to compress and click on Compress this drive Checkbox and then hit apply okay.



3.Use google photos to store videos and photos.

Google has recently announced unlimited storage for photos and videos up to 1080p. so upload your photos and videos which you don't need on a daily basis. 
if you have a good internet connection then there's no harm in storing all the photo online on google photos. And there's nothing more reliable then google to store your photos. this way they will be really safe and in good hands. And it will also give you some free space.

To know more about google photos check out the detailed post on google photos on this blog.

4. Streaming over Storing.

if you have a good unlimited connection on your mobile phone then start streaming data like music and videos online rather storing them on the device or on the PC. 

There are plenty of free apps available to stream music online. you can create playlists and do everything that you can do with the in-built music app. So stream the music instead of storing it on the device or PC you can save plenty of space.  

You can also watch movies and TV serials online. Movies and Serials take more than half of the total space. 

I found this amazing software called Popcorn Time for streaming movies and serials for free this app alone will save you more than half of the storage. but you must have a good internet connection at all times for a good experience. Now they have a beta version for android and ios too.

So start streaming more and storing less.

5.Use online storage whenever possible.

you can get up to 40 GB or more easily just by signing up on the free cloud storage websites.
google drive alone provides 15 GB of free storage. and other sites like one drive also give you a lot of free space to store data on the cloud. And the safest place to store data nowadays is cloud storage. it is free and real safe.

some of the good online cloud storage sites are Dropbox, google drive, one driveBox. and there are lot of other sites which provide this services for personal or business use. 

using cloud storage will really help you clear out some space.


6.Clear the cache memory of your phone and delete the Temporary files.

go to settings then to Storage and wait for the screen to update the information and somewhere in that list there will be cache button click on it all cache files will be deleted.

There is also an option below cache named Misc this are the files created by apps and you can delete them but be careful with those sometimes it can erase some other data. do this only if you know what you are doing or you have a backup somewhere just in case. There are a lot of apps too in the play store to do these things, but you can do it manually too. 

























7.Zip it

As most of you know there are a lot of file compression program available for such as Win rar you can use them to zip the files you don't use much compressing can save a lot of space sometimes, but it is irritating to having to unzip the files everytime we need them so just zip the files you don't need much.


8.Delete unwanted files and Softwares

Although it is way to obvious tip but nobody actually takes it seriously. there are almost always a lot of unwanted files you will find most them into your downloads folder if you do a lot of downloading.
Mostly there are copies of the same file downloaded twice check out for such files in your computer. 

Manually search through the folders see what you need and what you don't. Or you can download some software to find and delete duplicate files on your PC.

Here is one.

Most of the time we download something for family or friends and then forget to delete it and it ends up taking a lot of important space in your computer.

The same thing goes for not used apps and software. just go over the installed apps list I'm sure you will find a few useless apps.

This goes for smartphones too. And you can connect your phone to pc and also find duplicate files in your phone using the software you downloaded. 

9.Check out the pictures folder.

we all keep a backup of the pictures taken from our smartphones or Camera's. and most of us have the habit of clicking multiple pictures at a time and forgetting to delete the duplicate one's. And if you have a phone with a good camera each image will at least of 3 MB in size so the storage can be pretty easily wasted. 

so while taking the backup first delete the unnecessary pictures first and then take a backup.

Enable dark theme On Windows 10. Here is how !

Most of the people didn't like the bright theme of windows 10 and it also hurts the eyes a bit if you are working at night. So now you can enable the dark theme which is a hidden feature by doing the following things. 

Warning ! 
This is a registry editor trick so it can be risky if you changed some things accidentally it may affect your system so please be very careful and try this at your own risk.

So let's get started.

open up the registry editor.
first press windows+R then type in regedit press enter.
say yes to the security pop up.

The registry editor is open now.

Now browse to the following path.using the hierarchy on the left side.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]

you won't find a personalize folder there so you will need to create that by right clicking on the theme folder on then clicking on creating a folder. and name it Personalize. Make sure there are no typos in the folder name keep the p capital I don't know if it matters or not but anyway keep it capital. 

Then right click on the personalize folder new>DWORD 32 bit. 
Now name this DWORD exactly as AppsUseLightTheme

press enter and it will open by default the value will be 0. keep it that way press okay don't change anything else.

0 is for on and 1 is for Off. 

Now do this again for the following path as well in the registry editor.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]

if personalize folder is not there then follow the same process as above.

again create a 32 bit DWORD value will be 0 zero again. 

click ok and close the registry editor. 

you might need to restart the computer. 

It should work it did on my computer for my build version.
.

And again do this at your own risk I am not responsible for any kind of damage of any form. 

if it doesn't work after doing everything right. go to the settings app > personalizaion > Colors and then toggle the show color on start, taskbar and Action center option and it will work.

Here is a snapshot of my PC with the dark theme.
















Change the value to one to return to the original state.

#Windows10 Review

I just installed #Windows10 so far it is cool. Here's a short review. 














Upgrading to Windows 10


The best thing while upgrading is it didn't change anything which was previously installed. The data is also intact and just the way it was. so you don't have to worry about data while upgrading it.
Although having a backup is a good idea.

The update process took about one hour and few more minutes but after all it was an os installation. The update process was really Effortless I did almost nothing. The old Programs and Network settings weren't changed. Just the Lockscreen was changed and no major change anywhere. So go ahead and update.


The UI

the User interface is really nice, playful, Transparent and most importantly stable at least on my device. 

The Icons for folders and drives seem a little cartoonish and boxy. There's a new task view button on the taskbar and also a good wide search box which is working great and the windows search is better than before. 

We can add A virtual desktop. 

Managing the open apps is quite easy. 
Working in multiple windows at once is also easy just press the windows key and the suitable arrow key for ex if you press windows+up it will shift the current window to up. 

The charms bar has been completely removed. and a notification center is added.
Which will display all the notifications like mail and other things along with quick shortcuts to toggle WiFi and Bluetooth settings etc .
















Cortana

It really is a brilliant feature. Named after the character from the Xbox video game halo if you ask her she will answer. rather than the older speech recognition this one is far better. a significant improvement can be seen. It is smart as well. It is really good but still not as good as apple's Siri.It will tell you about what she can do. She because of the female voice although if you ask Cortana her gender she will say she is a cloud-based program.  

You can change what it calls you by typing in the name while setting up Cortana. To change it later on click on the search and then on the notebook icon Then in About me you can change what it calls you.

A bad news is that it is not available in India yet. but don't need to be sad you can still use it by tricking the system by changing the system language to US English and region to the United States. or to any  other suitable language and region. Although a few problems might arise in some other apps like in the store while making an app purchase. 














Edge

The New Browser is really significantly faster than IE. The improvement in the speed is quite noticeable. And it might give a tough competition to google chrome. The browser is also well designed. It is fast fluid and responsive. 













The start

The start looks good but if you were used to the start in the windows 8 you might feel it a little uneasy. but after using it for a while it won't be a problem. it is well organized though you can change the size of it easily. it is like the combination of the windows 7 start menu and the windows 8 start menu.You can also make it full screen like it was in the windows 8.

















Overall experience is really great please upgrade and give it a try. if you don't like it you can always go back.

All you need to know about The new Chromebook Pixel !

Google has launched the new Chromebook Pixel in UK with two models. Which is Sort of a stupid product. Read below and you will get why its stupid..

















The processor and the amount of ram they are giving with the Chromebook is really nice. The Design is also great. Full aluminum body.

It is Touch screen.

The battery is really excellent google is saying that it will give a battery backup of 12 hours and with the new USB type C connector just like the one in the mac.The Chromebook will give a battery backup of 2 hours by charging for just 15 minutes . Which is really cool.

This USB type C connector is also cool it is great for fast charging and it also gives a speed of 5 GB/Ps for data transfer.and it can also be used as an HDMI. The adapters are little costly though. The type c USB port is going to be the future thing. Unlike the old USB ports You can plug it in both ways so its easy now to plug stuff in.

One more nice thing is they have put the speakers below the keyboard. And the Keyboard is well lit.

But the biggest drawback would be the Chromebooks operating system it runs nothing but internet based apps most of the people around the world are calling it just as a browser pushover.

The operating system won't do much things so it is stupid of google to put I7 and I5 with the 8 GB and 16 GB of RAM. You don't need to necessarily have an i7 to just run the chrome.

but well google is covering this by saying that this is for developers and the future could be great. yah maybe it could be a thing in future but now it is just a waste of money.

But if you use a laptop just for browsing net and u don't mind paying much it is good but still you will be paying for such a great configuration and all you could do with that is just use bunch of internet apps.

If you are looking forward to buy this thing i would suggest that you shouldn't. unless you have lots of money and don't know what to spend it on.

Want more likes and followers on #instagram ? Here are some working tips!

Don't worry this nothing like pay 0.99$ or something like sign up and get 100 followers..














Here are some really working tips which will help you get more followers and likes..

1.Put as many hash tags as you can to you r posts it is seen that the posts with more hash tags have more likes than others. The main reason behind this is when you put a hash tag lets take the hashtag #sky for example then what happens is your post gets categorized under that hashtag so whenever any user search for #sky he/she can see your post in that. if you want to test the power of using hashtags just  try putting one hashtag in your post and refresh the notification feed you will immediately get a few likes. So don't forget to put hashtags!

2.Browse through multiple profiles like every post as far as u can. comment on Their pics but obliviously nice comments.
Compliment their photography so this way they will notice you In their notifications area.. and they might visit as well and they might return The favor if you are lucky they also may follow you..

But remember one thing while selecting which profiles to browse select those Who are not so famous cos if you liked and commented on their every pic the Chances are very less that they will notice you cos they are already famous and Thousands of other people daily like and comment on their pics so your name May get hidden under multiple notifications so chose which are not so famous.. And try to chose the persons who are following more persons Than their followers this type of people easily follow anyone..


3.The most important tip..
Click better pics if you clicked better pics obviously you will start getting more And more followers..but also apply the other two tips they will also help increase The followers..

Happy clicking..

Recover The Deleted Data

















Many times we lose data. sometimes we accidentally delete it or something bad happens and now a days we know how important the data is to us. 
But now no worries the lost or deleted data can be recovered. 

Thanks to Diskgetor Data Recovery Software.
It can recover data from almost every medium.

You can Buy it from the above link or as you know torrent is always there if you don't want to pay. But its a good software consider paying if you can.

In case if that link doesn't works just Google Diskgetor.

Well now some people might be wondering from where this deleted data comes back actually the thing is ,the data stored on a hard drive or for instance on any other medium is actually never deleted. The computer or the mobile device actually just erases the start point of the data. after you delete something permanently this start point is erased the user can no longer have access to this data. But Hopefully the data is still there until and unless some new data is overwritten on that same portion of disk.


So if in case you have lost some data use this software as early as possible because if some new data gets placed on that portion of disk the previous data will be lost. so don't add anything new until and unless you are done recovering your files.

And just one more small thing don't install the software on the disk drive which you wish to recover because again in installation the new data will be copied to that drive and by chance it might get overwritten on the same portion of the data where the old data was stored which you want to recover. 


The software sometimes may not recover the data fully but most of the times it works very great.

If you have any problems regarding this plz post them in the comments below.i will; help you solve them.
feedback is much appreciated.
keep reading.
