PC
clean
up
is
something
that
every
computer
user
should
be
doing.
Temporary
or
junk
files
can
build
up
very
quickly
on a
computer’s
hard
drive
to
fill
up
resulting
in
your
computer
being
slower.
Regularly
cleaning
up
these
files
and
folders
will
help
provide
you
with
great
long-term
computer
performance.
So
let’s
talk
temporary
and
junk
files
for
a
minute.
In
order
to
have
a
computer
that
runs
good,
you
need
to
be
doing
a
regular
PC
clean
up
which
will
help
keep
these
files
cleaned
off
of
your
computers
hard
drive.
Programs
such
as
your
internet
browser
or
your
favorite
word
processor
such
as
Microsoft
Office
all
utilize
temporary
files
in
some
form
or
another.
If
you
create
a
new
file
in
Microsoft
Word,
the
program
will
create
a
temporary
file
until
you
have
actually
saved
it
to
the
specific
location
you
want
it.
When
you
are
surfing
the
internet,
your
browser
is
basically
downloading
images
and
pages
to a
temporary
location
so
that
if
you
go
back
to
that
website
it
will
load
quicker.
It’s
a
great
idea
from
the
programs
perspective
,
but
the
files
it
downloads
and
saves
can
really
build
up
and
cause
your
machine
to
slow
down.

Clean
Up
Is A
Really
Important
Step
To
Having
A
Fast
Computer<<
There
are
some
standard
things
I
typically
do
when
performing
a
PC
Clean
Up
on
the
file
system.
The
quickest
and
probably
most
effective
way
to
get
rid
of
all
of
these
junk/temporary
files
is
to
run
a
Disk
Cleanup.
This
is a
utility
that
Microsoft
has
built
into
their
operating
systems
that
will
scan
all
of
the
junk/temporary
folders
and
then
let
you
pick
and
choose
which
ones
to
empty
out.
To
run
a
Disk
Cleanup,
simply
do
these
simple
steps:
- Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools and select Disk Cleanup.
The
utility
will
start
out
by
scanning
these
folders
and
finding
out
how
much
space
each
one
is
consuming.
It
will
scan
such
folders
as
your
Recycle
Bin
your
temporary
internet
files
folders.
These
are
two
that
a
lot
of
users
tend
to
forget
about
and
can
end
up
using
a
ton
of
space.
After
the
initial
scan
is
complete,
you
will
be
able
to
check
which
locations
you
would
like
to
clean
and
the
utility
will
do
the
rest
of
the
work.
