Webminds Tip of the Month: How to Manage Space on Small Drives. If you have an SSD drive and use devices with SD cards, then you know how hard it can be to manage your storage space. Here are a few tips that will help you free up disk space. Modern storage devices have a lot of advantages. Take SSD drives - they are blazing fast, they don’t slow down with time and they never cause any overheating. But SSDs have one significant disadvantage compared to conventional hard drives. They have limited storage space. While 1TB HDDs are very common, SSDs don’t offer that much space to home users. That’s why space on an SSD should be managed really effectively. Same goes for your SD and microSD storage cards – you need all the free space you can get, so that you can store more music, more pictures and install more mobile apps. Here is what you can do to effectively manage your drive and free up as much space without deleting any important files as you can.

Clean out the clutter. The most effective way to redeem disk space is to delete junk files. They are temporary files that are created by your browsers and your operating system, log files, and other useless files that you don’t need. They can take up gigabytes of space that you could use. Deleting junk files is easy if you have the right software like FileCleaner Pro - a free tool that will clean up all the junk files for you.

Delete duplicate files. Another thing you should do to free up disk space is delete duplicate files. Duplicate files are present on every computer and on most mobile devices. They get created when you accidentally download a song or a photo twice, when you have several edits of the same document, and so on. Duplicate files waste a lot of disk space. That’s why deleting them is a good idea, especially if you are short on space. Easy Duplicate Finder is the most accurate duplicate finder that works on PC, Mac and supports removable media. It will help you find and delete duplicate files in a quick and easy way.

Store Files Online. And last but not least, you can save disk space by moving some of your files to the cloud. Storing your files online not only frees up disk space, but is also very handy if you need to access your files on the go. DropSend offers reliable online storage with flexible file sending options.
