ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Freedup

Imagine you have a bunch of toys in your toy box, but the toy box is too full and you can't fit any new toys. You want to keep some toys, but also make room for new ones. Well, your computer is like your toy box and sometimes it gets too full of files and folders. That's when you need a tool like freedup.

Freedup helps you find the things that take up a lot of space on your computer so you can decide if you really need them or they can be deleted. It's like a detective that looks for the things that are hiding in the corners and taking up too much space.

When freedup finds something that's taking up too much space, it will let you know and ask if you want to delete it. Just like when your mom helps you clean your room and asks if you still play with that toy or if you want to give it away.

Once you've decided what to keep and what to delete, you can tell freedup to get rid of the things you don't want. Just be careful not to delete anything important, like your favorite toy! Freedup can help you keep your computer organized and make room for new things, just like cleaning your toy box helps you make room for new toys.
