Your hard drive stores many files that are created, changed, and saved automatically by Windows. Some of these files, called temporary files, are the result of web browsing; others are setup files that remain after the installation of some applications. You can gain a small performance increase by simply removing the temporary files you no longer need. You can use the Disk Cleanup tool to find and remove these temporary files. This will also free up extra disk space too.
1. In the Computer folder, Right-click the disk you want to clean and choose Properties from the menu that appears. The hard drive’s Properties dialog box opens with the General tab displayed.
2. Click Disk Cleanup button.
3. Disk Cleanup conducts a scan of your system to determine how much space can be freed. None of the files here are necessary, so you can remove all of them. Click OK to delete the selected files.
4. Press OK. You will be asked to confirm your choice; press Delete Files. Windows will show a progress meter as the files are deleted.
