Hey everyone! I've had my first computer for about 10-11 years now and I've consistently transferred files from one computer to the next. I currently have two 1TB SSDs that are nearly full, filled with a mix of important files, outdated ones, and a ton I can't even identify. I'm looking for effective ways to clean up this digital mess without spending forever on it. Is manual sorting the only way, or are there any tools that can help me sort things more efficiently? Also, would it make sense to back everything up and consider a factory reset? I'm using an MSI GF65 Thin laptop with Windows 10 and want to make sure my SSDs last longer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You really just need to go through your files and determine which ones you want to keep. There's no software that truly understands what’s important to you—only you can decide that. But you can definitely use Windows Disk Cleanup for system files.
Have you tried using DropIt? It's a Windows-based tool that lets you create rules for sorting files based on type, which could save you a ton of time. Definitely worth checking out!
That's great to hear! I'll give it a go and see if it meets my needs. Thanks for the suggestion!
