DELETE FILES USING DISK CLEANUP AND SPEED UP YOUR COMPUTER

Delete files using Disk Cleanup and speed up your computer

          If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use Disk Cleanup. A handy way to remove lots of files you don’t need on a hard drive is to employ the aptly named Disk Cleanup tool. It removes temporary files, empties the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of system files and other items that you no longer need. 

Follow these steps to run Disk Cleanup :

1. From the Start button menu, choose All Programs  →  Accessories  →  System Tools  →  Disk Cleanup.

2. In the Drives list, click the hard disk drive that you want to clean up, and then click OK.

The prompt appears only when you have multiple storage media on your PC. You probably want to choose drive C, the main storage device.

3. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, place check marks by all the items you want to remove.

It’s okay to place check marks by all items. Those things wouldn’t be listed if they were crucial to the computer’s operation.

4. Click OK.

After click a dialog box will open.

5. Click the Delete Files button to begin the cleanup process.

Wait while the disk is being cleaned. When the process is complete, the window goes away.

Note : You can also access the Disk Cleanup utility from a disk drive’s Properties dialog box by clicking the Disk Cleanup button on the General tab.
