When you delete something on your PC, it remains in the Recycle Bin and still takes up space on your hard disk.

If you are unsure about deleting certain files, move them to an external drive or cloud storage.

Google Drive , Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive offer convenient, flexible options for storing large files without consuming your laptop’s limited space.

The following steps will help you protect your files and personal data from cyber threats and accidental loss.

Use strong passwords for all your accounts and devices.

Encrypt your external hard drives and cloud storage accounts to add an extra layer of protection to your data.

Use a strong antivirus program and keep it updated to protect against malware and other threats.
