Steps to free up storage space for QuickBooks

Follow these steps to free up storage space for QuickBooks.

Step 1: Check the hard drive

·         You need to select the Windows Start menu.

·         Then type "File Explorer" in search to open File Explorer as well.

·         Now you need to select My Computer in the navigation bar.

·         Later, right-click the hard drive icon.

·         This is called the C: drive.

·         Now you need to select the Properties tab.

·         A window will appear on the screen showing the available storage space.

 Step 2: Free up space on your hard drive.

·         Please note that for QuickBooks to run optimally, it is best to have at least 2.5 GB of free space.

·         Clean up the disk.

·         If you have a large number of files in your Downloads folder or Trash, you can run Disk Cleanup and follow the appropriate steps.

  Delete the temporary folder.

·         You can delete files in the temporary folder to free up disk space.

·         Before you begin, you need to make sure you are logged in to Windows as an administrator.

·         Delete unused programs.

·         Before you proceed with removing files, you should check to see if you can uninstall programs that you no longer need or use.

 Clean up photos and documents.

·         If you've already deleted temporary files and unused programs and still need storage space, you should consider moving your photos and documents to an external hard drive.

·         Keep in mind that photos and media files tend to take up a lot of space.

·         You will need to save these to your local hard drive.

·         Also note that QuickBooks cannot access files on external hard drives.

 Updating installation files.

·         If you try to install QuickBooks Desktop and still receive an error even after you free up space,  you should use QuickBooks Tool Hub.
