After loading, the arrows select the discharge of its system - 32 or 64 bits and press ENTER.
Initialize the connection to the network in the background, clicking "Yes." This action will allow us to use network drives (if any) for moving files.
Next, you can allow the program to reassign the letters of disks, but it is not necessary to do this, as we know with what drive should work. Click "yes" or "no".
Select the keyboard layout.
After ERD detects the installed system, click "Next".
Click on the lowest point in the menu that opens - "Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset".
Next, go to the "conductor".
In the left block, we are looking for a disk with the Windows folder.
Now we need to find and delete unnecessary files. First of all, these are the contents of the "Basket" (folder "$ recycle.bin"). I don't need to touch the folder itself, but everything that is in it is subject to removal.
The following "under the knife" go large files and folders with video, pictures and other content. Usually they are located in the user folder.
