Windows.edb File wird zu groß

How to fix a VERY large Windows.edb file.

I noticed my disk space is getting pretty low on my laptop.  I used Treesize to determine that one of the biggest files was my Windows.edb file at 15.5GB in size.

This is linked to the Windows Search services, and it contains information designed to make my searching faster.

To reduce the size of this file, we can rebuild the index.

Go to Control Panel

Select Indexing Options

Select the Advanced button, then select the Rebuild button.

This will take a while now, but it will delete the windows.edb and associated files and commence reindexing your machine.
