You need to remove unnecessary files / programs from your computer in different ways. The fact is that some files can be deleted simply by adding them to the trash can, but, for example, the software requires correct removal using the uninstaller.
Instructions
Step 1
Some files can be deleted by simply adding them to the trash can without any consequences. This category includes: documents, music files, pictures, etc. In general, almost any files that are not related to the operating system and that did not have to be installed using the installer program (setup).
Step 2
If there are unnecessary programs, then, as a rule, they require correct removal through the "Add or Remove Programs". You need to go there like this: Start - Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs. There you need to look for the program and delete it. Also, almost any program can be removed by finding it in the list: Start - All Programs. Or in her directory. There should be an uninstaller (usually called Uninstall).
Step 3
But sometimes it happens that the software does not have an uninstaller and there is even no way to correctly remove it through Add or Remove Programs. In particular, this applies to Kaspersky Anti-Virus and some other programs. You need to correctly remove such an application through a special utility. Usually it should be located on the official website of the program.
Step 4
Also, the category of unnecessary files should include many temporary files or leftover from old programs, etc. Finding them in the system is problematic, and sometimes they are located with the really necessary files. Such files (if ignored for a long time) can take up a lot of hard disk space, and sometimes even cause program conflicts. It is advisable to remove this with the help of special utilities. For example, IObit Security 360. After analysis, the program will display a list of files (registry, temp folder, temporary files from the Internet, etc.) and offer a choice of which ones to delete.
