Using Disk Cleanup

Trash CanDisk Cleanup is a tool included with Microsoft Windows that removes temporary files that are no longer needed and can safely be eliminated. This can help free space on your hard drive and speed up common tasks like web browsing. You will not hurt your computer by running this tool.

To run Disk Cleanup

  • Click on your start menu and go to "All Programs."
  • Navigate to the "Accessories" folder.
  • Then to the "System Tools" folder.
  • Single left click on "Disk Cleanup" icon.
  • Once the scanning is complete click "Ok" to start the purging of unneeded files.
  • The program will close itself upon completion.

I recommend running the disk clean up tool at least monthly.
