Many years ago, 100 GB hard drives were considered endless, but today most PC users can only smile wearily at the thought. Because even larger hard drives are full of programs, games, pictures and videos faster than expected. It is even worse for the owners of SSD disks. Flash hard drives are fast and quiet, but still very expensive. That is why many people choose models that are too small and run out of space even more quickly. You can quickly create space with a trick – by swapping out selected data to a second hard drive. But there is not always a second hard drive and not everyone wants to distribute their data over the entire memory.

With these tools – almost all of them are freeware – you can quickly shovel superfluous data into the virtual trash can.
