During the operation of a personal computer in the Windows operating system, a huge number of service files are generated. Each installed program has such a file, and sometimes more than one. It contains settings or intermediate results, as well as other data required for operation. Unfortunately, it often happens that this data is not deleted even when the program is uninstalled. As a result, the volume of the hard disk is constantly decreasing, and the user cannot understand why this is happening. There are special programs for deleting such files.
Instructions
Step 1
The standard Disk Cleanup utility is a program built into the Windows operating system that will allow you to remove a significant number of hidden files. However, not all files will be noticed by this utility. However, of all the options available, using the standard program is the safest and often quite effective. Finding a program is very easy. Open the start menu and search for "Disk Cleanup". The program interface will open in front of you, with which you can easily delete all unnecessary files.
Step 2
CCleaner is a well-known and reliable free program that can do deep disk cleaning. A powerful application with a huge arsenal of functions. Unfortunately, cleaning a disk with it is not always safe. That is why the program has a built-in function for backing up deleted files. If you accidentally delete an important item, it can be easily restored using standard procedures. However, experience with the program shows that even automatic cleaning rarely leads to serious consequences.
Step 3
Ashampoo WinOptimizer is another equally well-known free application that can clean your computer of unnecessary junk in a fairly high quality manner. Has all the features of CCleaner. Also, the program has built-in functions for defragmentation and checking the system for errors. It is able to effectively clean the computer and significantly increase the speed of Windows. Similarly to the previous program, it can be dangerous for the computer, but it also has a built-in backup of deleted files.
