Are you concerned about running out of space on your C drive frequently and the time it takes to manually clean up your hard disk.
In following steps we will configure an Automation Process to find free disk space in our C drive and then delete the folder which are safe to delete
-
Add a Power shell activity. Use following cmd let to get free size
Get-Volume -DriveLetter C | Format-List -Property SizeRemaining
This will return a string value SizeRemaining : 123456789. Say we take this value in outRes argument -
Add a assign activity and assign this to a String argument ( DiskRem)
Split(outRes,“:”)(1).Trim() -
Add another Assign activity and assign this to a Double argument
Double.Parse(DiskRem) / (1024 X 1024 X 1024)
This will give you the Free Disk size in GB -
Now using a conditional statement (if else block) check if Free Disk Size is less than threshold say (10 GB)
-
Using File operations Delete interaction delete the files present in following folder. Usually files under these are safe to delete to clean up space. ( Kindly do a double check on your side to be sure)
C:\Users<>\Downloads
C:\Users<>\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Windows\Temp
You can safely delete log file of any installed programs also which are not of any use to you
