Windows 98 Disk and File Management

Manually Invoke Disk Cleanup

SUMMARY: Force Windows 98's disk cleanup to run to save hard drive space.


 

When Windows 98 notices that one of your hard drives is running out of room, it will automatically bring up a dialog box, allowing you to invoke the Disk Cleanup wizard. If you'd like to manually invoke this wizard, first double-click "My Computer" on your desktop. Right-click on the drive which you wish to clean, and choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu that appears. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, make sure the "General" tab is selected. Now, click the "Disk Cleanup" button.
