Chromebooks, like any hard drive, have limited space. Therefore, it is essential to keep them clear of unnecessary files and data to ensure optimum performance. In this tutorial, we will show you how to free up some disk space on your Chromeblock.
The first thing you need to do is open up the launcher. If you see a little circle icon at the bottom left corner of the system shelf, click on it and select files. It should direct you to the download section. Here, you can double click on downloads and delete anything that you do not need. You can clear out installer files, as long as they are not documents or important files that you may need in the future.
You also have the option to back up data to Google Drive. Backing up files such as pictures and videos would be a smart option to consider if you have a lot of files on your computer. Once you are done with that, you can go ahead and open up the browser. Select the setting icon on the top right corner of the browser screen and then select more tools. From there, select clear browsing data.
At this point, you want to select the advanced tab and time range. We recommend setting it to all time. Then, clear browsing history, download history, cookies and other site data, cache, images, and files. Keep passwords and other sign-in data unchecked as well as autofill form data and site settings. You can choose to uncheck or check any of these options if you so wish. Once you are done, select clear data.
After completing these steps, restart your computer. This should help you free up some much-needed space on your Chromeblock. Remember, Google Drive offers tremendous storage capacity, and you can take advantage of it by backing up important files. However, by clearing out your downloads folder and any unnecessary videos, you can free up a lot of necessary space for your computer to operate efficiently.
In conclusion, it is a pretty straightforward process that will help you optimize the performance of your Chromeblock. We hope this tutorial helps you out, and we look forward to catching you all in the next one. Goodbye!
