Solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n

Solution 1: Clean the Crash Reports<\/b><\/h3>\n

Crash Reports<\/b> contain certain information pertaining to the occurred bug, assist in debugging the problem that the user has encountered without making developers get into the system where the program is installed. If the program has crashed several times, it\u2019s better to clean up the <\/span>Crash Reports<\/b> in order to gain the wasted space back and keep the file system clean and tidy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open up <\/span>Windows Explorer \/ <\/span>File Explorer.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n
  2. Type the following local address in the <\/span>Address Bar:
    \n<\/span>%userprofile%\\Local\\Google
    \n    \"image01\"<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Locate the <\/span>Search Box, (situated next to the <\/span>Address Bar). Type <\/span>_Log in it and press <\/span>Enter to start searching files.

     <\/p>\n

    Solution 2: Delete the Installer Logs<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Installer Logs<\/b> assist in reviewing the progress of the installation and are considered standard log files for installing any program. <\/span>Nik Collection<\/b> stores a couple of log files during installation, and this solution demonstrates how to get rid of them from the file system.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open <\/span>Windows Explorer \/ <\/span>File Explorer.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n
    2. Type the following address in the <\/span>Address Bar:
      \n<\/span>%userprofile%\\Local\\Google
      \n      \"image01\"<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Locate the <\/span>Nik Collection Installer Logs folder.
      \n      \"image05\"<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/li>\n
    4. Delete it permanently by pressing the <\/span>Shift + <\/span>Del keys simultaneously, and pressing <\/span>Enter to confirm the action.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Solution 3: Delete the Temporary Files Along with Cache<\/b><\/h3>\n

      As stated earlier, <\/span>Cache Files<\/b> are spawned and utilized to enhance the performance of the software when it is being used. However, when these files continue to pile up for a while without being swept, they can swiftly eat through the free space on the hard disk. This brings us yet again to the need to periodically clean up these temporary files once in a while.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Launch the <\/span>Windows Explorer <\/b>(<\/span>Windows 8<\/b> and previous versions)<\/span> \/ <\/span>File Explorer <\/b>(<\/span>Windows 10<\/b>).<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Type the following local address in the <\/span>Address Bar<\/b> and press <\/span>Enter<\/b> to open it:
        \n<\/span>%userprofile%\\AppData\\Local
        \n        \"image04\"<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Now Delete the Temp<\/b> folder from the system. Make sure all the programs are closed prior to deletion, as an active program might be accessing some files from this folder and those files won\u2019t be deleted until they become inactive.
