Why each option

To resolve low storage space on a Windows computer, the best solution is to run Disk Cleanup.

AReviewing System information

Reviewing System information provides details about the system configuration but does not free up any disk space.

BRunning Disk CleanupCorrect

Running Disk Cleanup is the most effective built-in Windows utility to free up disk space by deleting temporary files, system log files, previous Windows installations, and other unnecessary data.

CEditing the Registry

Editing the Registry is a risky operation for advanced users and is not related to solving low storage space issues.

DChecking the Performance Monitor

Checking the Performance Monitor is used to analyze system performance metrics like CPU, memory, and disk I/O, not to manage disk space.

EIncreasing the memory

Increasing the memory (RAM) addresses performance issues related to running applications, not issues with low disk storage space.
