Windows does not come with a native utility to zero-fill unused space but you can find the excellent SDelete tool at Microsoft’s TechNet: 4. The most effective way to clean free disk space on a Windows drive is to overwrite the unused space with a bitstream of zeros or to zero-fill any free space. These garbage bits and bytes are from the contents of files that used to occupy that space but that are no longer there. If you want to also shrink the disk, then Using the Windows defrag tool will help with the shrink process.Īfter the disk has been defragmented, the virtual Windows drive will still have unused space containing garbage bits and bytes. ![]()
