Use the appropriate command to initiate drive optimization.
Windows 10 doesn’t automatically keep my drives organized weekly; I need to handle it each time I remember. I’d like to set up a custom scheduled task to make this easier, but I’m unsure about the exact steps or what should be triggered. Anyone have suggestions on how to approach this? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
I looked into ways to reach your goal. Your concern about maintaining your drive comes up—after using three SSDs for more than two years with no issues, it’s worth understanding why regular cleanups matter.
Most people agree you'll see a noticeable slowdown once you start filling up the drive. I try to keep about 15% free space on each one. When I bought my two drives for the desktop, I planned ahead—250GB is more than enough for the OS and files on C:\. Then I allocated 500GB for games and software, a 2TB HDD for other media and less intensive tasks, and I’m considering a manual monthly cleanup to keep things efficient. I’ll look into options for that later.
