How can we save space on our computer?

Despite the fact that computers have more and more space and more gigs available, it is also true that the data we generate has increased. Saving space is still important to keep information organized on your computer and easily accessible to employees. In addition, it is not only important to save space, but also to store the data where it belongs for greater security.

The hard drive is the storage space where long term files are kept. That is, if the RAM memory allows you to operate with programs and perform short term tasks, the files you save on your hard drive are not deleted when you turn off the computer. That is why it is so important that we learn to save space, to use our resources correctly. There are different ways to take care of and manage our hard disk space.

Ways to save or organize our space

▸Store your BackUp copies externally

When we make backup copies of our files, the logical thing is that they have to be on an external computer. If we store the copies on our own computer, we find that we are occupying space in something that is not necessary. The copies make sense when they are on other devices, because if our computer breaks down and we lose everything, we will also lose the backup copies.

▸Do not save unnecessary files

There are many files that are not really necessary in the long term. We use them once and never worry about them again. It is those types of files that we should not have on our computers because they are taking up space. Maybe separately, they hardly take up anything, but if we talk about thousands and thousands of files, then they can already take up a considerable space.

▸Compress unnecessary files

There are files that you may not be using and why not take advantage of it simply to compress them in zip? They would take up less space and it would also be easier to package them and have them in a single folder. If you have to send them somewhere, then it would also be much easier for you to do it by email. You don’t lose anything by compressing files that are not commonly used.

▸Create a network of computers and server

This is the way many companies work. Not only does it help you save space on your computer, it is also very practical. It is about having an internal central server in which we can store the important files with which we usually work. This also allows us to subject them to a higher level of security and to be able to access them in a much more agile way through any computer that is networked with that server.
