I can just feel it. Like many of you, I\u2019ve also made a resolution. No, it\u2019s not based around self-improvement or education. It is not even weight related or money related. Wait, let me take that back because it is weight related, so to speak. In fact, it\u2019s bursting from the seams. However, it may not be me that needs to slim down (even though I do), I\u2019m speaking about my computer.<\/p>\n<p>Our computers suffer from gluttony. Every bit of data is ravishing to it. As a good parent, we are constantly feeding it. From work to pleasure, we are saving more on our computers than ever before. It will get to a point when you\u2019ll start seeing: \u201cLow Disk Space&#8221; or \u201cYour startup disk is almost full\u201d messages. That\u2019s almost like hearing your LDL cholesterol is high and something must be done.<\/p>\n<p>Well, fortunately there is something you can do: put your computer on a diet! It\u2019s time you whipped that hard drive into shape. I\u2019ve put together 4 to-do-now items to keep your computer&#8217;s hard drive lean and mean.<\/p>\n<p>1) <strong>Put it in the Cloud<\/strong><br \/>\nThe cloud is full of free storage, if you know where to look. To name a few:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.box.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Box<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DropBox<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/drive\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Drive<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icloud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">iCloud<\/a>. Why is it free? They all want to lure you in so when you fill it up, they can upsell you on additional storage and services.<br \/>\nThis is a great place to start in order to\u00a0free up some hard drive space.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_880\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-880\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/14796090251_48173348c6_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-880\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/14796090251_48173348c6_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Credit: Chris Potter\" width=\"770\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/14796090251_48173348c6_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/14796090251_48173348c6_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/14796090251_48173348c6_o-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/14796090251_48173348c6_o-1170x780.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Chris Potter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>2) <strong>Compress Thy Images<\/strong><br \/>\nDay after day, week after week, month after month, we keep adding more and more photos to our hard drives. Ask yourself, when was the last time you opened that photo folder from 2013? Exactly! Do you realize how much space your photos are taking up on your hard drive and in the cloud?<br \/>\nYou can free up a ton of space by optimizing your images!\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jpegmini.com\" target=\"_blank\">JPEGmini <\/a>can help you optimize your photos without harming the quality. It\u2019s very easy to use &#8211; just drag and drop your photo folders and JPEGmini will do the rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jpegmini.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-878\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/JPEGmini_logo_black-1024x181.png\" alt=\"JPEGmini_logo_black\" width=\"770\" height=\"136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/JPEGmini_logo_black-1024x181.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/JPEGmini_logo_black-300x53.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/JPEGmini_logo_black-570x101.png 570w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/JPEGmini_logo_black-1170x206.png 1170w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/JPEGmini_logo_black.png 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3) <strong>Uninstall Unnecessary Software<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s time you audit your computer. Why is it so easy to download and install software, but harder to delete it? After all, it\u2019s on our computer, I must have used it, but when was the last time I REALLY used it? If you have to ask that question, hit\u00a0delete. You won\u2019t even notice it\u2019s gone. What you will notice is all that free space on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>The great part for Mac owners is that it\u2019s really easy to delete software. Here\u2019s what you have to do: drag the program\u2019s icon from Applications to the Trash. Boom, done! If you&#8217;re wondering about the registry, well don&#8217;t worry. The programs don&#8217;t have a registry on Mac!<\/p>\n<p>For Windows, it\u2019s a bit more time consuming. We recommend you download <a href=\"http:\/\/www.advanceduninstaller.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Advanced Uninstaller PRO<\/a>. With this software you\u2019ll be able to uninstall programs quickly, find and remove unneeded\/ sensitive files and clean your registry using its simple interface.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/advanceduninstaller.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-879 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/advanceduninstaller.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/advanceduninstaller.png 256w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/advanceduninstaller-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4) <strong>Analyze Your Disk Space<\/strong><br \/>\nNow that you have deleted all that software, it&#8217;s time to free up more space. It\u2019s time we ask ourselves one question \u2013 what\u2019s taking up our disk space? In order to answer that properly, we\u2019re going to need a little help from either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jam-software.com\/treesize_free\/\" target=\"_blank\">TreeSize<\/a> (for PC) or <a href=\"https:\/\/daisydiskapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DaisyDisk<\/a> (for Mac).<br \/>\nThese are great tools to install\u00a0on your computer and remove unneeded files.
