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 drive, Box. 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.

http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/duplicate-file-finder/

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.

Work late at night on Computer and your eyes are hurting? The solution is here

Most of the people work late on computers or laptops or some people just chat all night on smartphones and they all end up having an irritation in eyes and sometimes a headache in morning and other problems.

The computer screen emit a lot of blue light which is irritating at night. and it is said that this blue light is not at all good for human eyes this blue light can cause headache and it also disturbs the sleep if you look at it just before you sleep. And that is the reason you get a headache when you work late at night on a computer or any screen for that matter.

The solution to this is a small software called Flux.you can download it here.

This software will automatically adjust the screen throughout the day so that the screen won't hurt your eyes. the software reduces the blueness at night.

It will recognize you location and then act accordingly.

Got Windows 8? Then use Picture password ! Here is how..

Windows 8 includes a new exciting feature called #picturePassword. yest it is what it sounds like you can use your favorite image as a password. 

It allows you to authenticate with the computer using a series of gestures that include circles, straight lines, and taps.

1. Open the Windows Charms.
2. Click Settings and then More PC settings
3. In the PC settings window click Users and then select Create a picture password

Don't Worry if you forget the picture password you can use your pin as a alternate method to log in.

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.

Minimize All The Windows

Hey friends here is one easy but use full tip for you.

Sometimes you have a bunch of stuff running, and you want it all to go away so you can get to the desktop. Simply pressing Windows + D will minimize everything you have up, which will save you some time pressing the minimize button for each window. It should be noted that Windows + M offers similar functionality, but there is no undoing, so Windows + D is the more favorable approach.

Keyboard Shortcuts.

Take screen shot of only active window to clipboard.

Normally, the Print Screen key copies the entire display (or two displays if you got them), ALT + Print Screen only copies the currently active window to the clipboard. Whether taking a screenshot to diagnose a problem, or just because you want to show something to a friend, this will come in handy.

Fix those little mistakes

 Did you know you can undo almost any action? CTRL + Z is the ultimate hot key, and for sure you knew about it already, however note that undo doesn’t just apply to typing. If you accidentally delete or move a file, you can hit CTRL + Z to bring it right back to where it was. In Chrome and Firefox you can also undo closing a tab using CTRL + SHIFT +T.
