How to free up space on your PC after upgrading to Windows 11
How to free up space on your PC after upgrading to Windows 11
Windows 11 has been available for a few months now, and it’s a free upgrade that we definitely recommend in our Windows 11 review. But if you recently upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10, or if you install a big update for Windows 11 in the future, you might notice that there’s quite a bit of disk space being taken up on your PC all of a sudden, and you may want to free it up. The reason for this is that Windows keeps a copy of the system files from your old Windows installation. That way, if you run into any problems after the upgrade, you can roll back to the previous version and get things back to normal. But if you haven’t had any issues and you need the free space, you can delete the old files after upgrading to Windows 11. Deleting these old files will make it impossible to roll back to the previous version of Windows, so only do this if you’re confident things are working well. There are two ways you can do this, and the final result is the same, so it’s ultimately up to you how you want to do it. One method involves using the Settings app, and the other is using the Disk Cleanup feature that’s part of the classic Control Panel. Free up space using the Windows 11 Settings app If you want to use the more modern Windows 11 Settings app, here’s what you need to do:
If you’re more of a fan of the old-school Windows tools, you can also use the Disk Cleanup feature to free up space after upgrading to Windows 11. Here’s the easiest way to do it:

Threads shows signs of integrating Instagram DMs (APK teardown)
Credit: Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority
Threads has come a long way to become the most viable X (formerly Twitter) alternative. One missing feature, though, is the ability to message people you know on Threads privately. Now, an APK teardown of the latest version of the Threads Android app shows hints that private messaging could be on the way ? and it could just be Instagram?s private messaging system. Before we get into the code, let?s give a little background. In November last year, Threads lead Adam Mosseri posted a thread saying that he was reluctant to build a dedicated direct messaging system into Threads, mostly because the Instagram platform already has one. The problem he foresaw, though, was ?notification routing weirdness,? meaning the problem of someone DMing you on Threads and you getting a notification there and on Instagram. The alternative ? building a dedicated Threads DM system ? didn?t appeal to Mosseri either due to ?redundant message threads.? Of the two ideas, Mosseri admitted that ?neither seems great.? With that said, in order to truly compete with X, Threads needs DMs. Thanks to an APK teardown, we now have an idea of which direction Threads might go. In the newest version of the Threads Android app (v315.0.0.29.109), we see references that Threads is at least looking at incorporating Instagram?s messaging system. Below are some strings that hint at this: When you message people on Instagram, your most recent chats will show up here. "You don't have any chats yet" Messages ?%1$s Messages To see your chats here, open Instagram and log in first. From the strings, it looks like Threads might include Instagram chats directly, acting as a ?clone? app, as it were. We could be wrong, but the ?When you message people on Instagram, your most recent chats will show up here? line seems to suggest that Threads will only incorporate parts of the Instagram messaging system. It?s possible you could start a chat or respond to chats in Threads, but seeing older chats and using more advanced features might require you to quickly jump to Instagram. An interesting side note here is what this might mean for Threads? ambitions to support ActivityPub, which would allow the service to be easily incorporated into other services, such as Mastodon. Instagram?s private messaging system is not a part of ActivityPub, and a version of Threads that has some federated parts (posts, replies, etc.) and then some centralized parts (DMs) would be quite strange. However, it is possible that the idea that these are ?clones? of Instagram DMs would be OK for the ActivityPub crowd? There?s not enough information to go on yet. As always, APK teardowns are not ironclad proof. It?s possible Threads is just testing this idea to see if it?s viable. We have reached out to Meta asking for clarification on this info but didn?t immediately hear back. We?ll update this article should we receive more information. More... |
