The PC version of WeChat has been updated recently, adding several new features. This update brings the storage space management function. So is the large amount of storage space occupied by WeChat on our hard disk saved? In addition, the editor also recommends a third-party small and efficient WeChat storage space cleaning tool, let’s take a look.
Storage space management tool official version
The biggest change in the new version of WeChat for PC is the “storage space management” function.This feature allows users to view their WeChat used storage space, and to clean up three categories of files: “chat data, chat record backup files, and cache”, while the other categories that occupy the most cannot be cleaned.
The “Storage space management” function is located in the PC version of WeChat → More button in the lower left corner → Settings → General settings → Storage space management.

It can be seen that on the editing computer, the PC version of WeChat has taken up nearly 40G of storage space, of which more than 13G can be cleaned, while 25.6G cannot be cleaned, and the proportion of files that cannot be cleaned is a bit large.
When you clean up, pay attention to the option of “chat data”. You need to save the files you still need in the chat conversation first and then clean up to avoid loss.
Storage space management tool third-party version
As can be seen from the above, although the WeChat storage space management function is good, it is still a bit too much to clear the remaining storage space. Here, the editor will introduce a small third-party WeChat storage space management software – Clean My PC Wechat, which can easily clean up the PC version of WeChat storage space.

Clean My PC Wechat does not need to be installed and can be used after decompression. For the first time use, you must click Settings to create a configuration file. For WeChat is not installed in the default location, the user needs to manually specify the location of the WeChat storage space (the WeChat ID can be displayed after the correct specification).

After correctly specifying the WeChat storage space, the WeChat ID will be displayed, and then you can select the content that needs to be cleaned up, and you can also specify how many days old files to delete. Then press save and then click the start button on the main interface. Editing is still the same sentence, save the files that need to be preserved before proceeding. Use Clean My PC Wechat to free up more storage space.

No need to use your mobile phone, scan the QR code on your PC to use it
Let’s take a look at the new features brought to us by the new PC version of WeChat. When you encounter a place where you need to scan the QR code on the computer, do you take out your mobile phone to scan the code? Now there is a new method, that is, you can scan the code through the built-in scan code function of the PC version of WeChat.
There are two ways to scan the QR code in the PC version of WeChat. One is to use its screenshot function. When you take a screenshot, you can see the button to identify the QR code. After clicking, you can scan the code.

Another method is that when the user receives a picture with a QR code, he only needs to click to open the picture, and there is a QR code recognition function in the WeChat picture viewer. Click to recognize the QR code in the picture.

You can add pictures, videos, and new changes in the file group announcement
As an important means for group administrators to notify group members, group announcements have been greatly enhanced in the new PC version of WeChat. Now group management can not only add files, pictures and messages to group announcements, but also attach videos. The most important thing is to attach files, so that group announcements become more practical.

Tucao, the new version is very troublesome to find files
Finally, it is a function of the new PC version of WeChat that I want to complain about. I don’t know if it is a design bug or a special purpose. The pictures and files received by WeChat in the old version are neat, time-stored, and easy to find. In the new PC version In WeChat, a folder named with random characters is added in front of the folder where the files are stored.
Yes, that’s right, the user needs to click through a bunch of folders named with random characters to find the one that actually stores the file.

This change was met with a lot of complaints. Fortunately, in the beta version of PC WeChat 3.7.1.7, the file receiving location has been changed again, which is the same as before. I hope the official version can remain unchanged.
Summarize
Just like the mobile version of WeChat, the PC version of WeChat will slowly “grow fat” without users knowing it. The official gave a weight loss pill in the new version, but it’s still not enough!
