SSD Cleanup

[Charlie P]

This might be a really dumb question, but how do I know what files are safe to delete or how to tell what they are? Sometimes when I look at files, I have no idea what they are so I end up just leaving it.(same case with task manager) Id like to free up some space from some of these big files, So help would be appreciated.

The search function should tell you where it is.
But usually, you just have large files of what you install. So no need to search.

Ok Thanks. As far as task manager, how do I know what tasks I can end without messing anything up?

If you know what you do, you can set some services to manual or disabled. For example windows search (if you dont search files often you dont need indexing) or sysmain (former prefetch).
But just closing tasks in taskmanager without reason will not give you much benefit.

If you have Radeon graphic card, there is "AMD" folder in C: that you can delete (it contains all the previous drivers and version of software that isn't in use).
