A folder in a personal computer is a kind of cell for storing various types of files. User-created folders are non-system folders. And such folders can be easily cleaned, formatted or deleted if the files stored in them are no longer needed by the user.

Step 1
User folders do not need to be formatted, unlike disk drives. Non-system folders are easy to create and are not an important part of the operating system. To clean the computer of unnecessary files, you can simply delete the folders in which they are located. To do this, simply highlight the folder and right-click on it once. In the menu that appears, select the "Delete" line, and then confirm the deletion of the folder with all its contents. To permanently delete a folder, simply empty the Trash by right-clicking on it and selecting the "Empty Trash" line.
Step 2
You can also clear a folder of all its contents without deleting it. To do this, open the folder intended for cleaning and select all the files stored in it (press and hold the left mouse button and drag the selection frame down to the last file). After all the files are selected, press the "Delete" button on the keyboard (you can also delete files by right-clicking on any of them and selecting the "Delete" line), and then confirm the deletion of all files. After deleting, empty the Trash (see Step 1).
