Audio Drives and Disk
Cleanup
(Windows Only)
The process of recording and editing can quickly
decrease overall drive performance. It is sug-
gested that you regularly use Disk Cleanup (or
an equivalent utility) to assess the condition of
drives and, if necessary, delete temporary files
and other unused data.
To use Disk Cleanup:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
1
Double-click Administrative Tools.
2
Double-click Computer Management.
3
Double-click Storage.
4
Double-click Disk Management.
5
Select the desired volume in the list, then
6
choose File > Options.
Disk Cleanup determines how performance is
being affected by drive conditions, and lets you
review and delete unnecessary files from the se-
lected volume. For more information, see your
Windows XP documentation.
