What files can you delete from your computer to make it faster? And where are they?

You can delete unused BIG files that you have created. Also, you can clear your Internet Explorer/Netscape/Mozilla/Opera's cache to free up space in your hard disk. Also, you can delete de files in the Windows TEMPORARY folder...\n\nThere's an utility named DISK CLEANUP (right click your C: drive, then click on DISK CLEANUP button) which do many of the above suggestions for you.\n\nYou can also use a disk defragmenter (I don't recommend the disk defragmenter that comes with Windows). Try out Disk Keeper (www.diskeeper.com/downloads/menu.aspx), it is the best one.\n\nGood luck pal!

Go to the Control Panel option on your start menu and choose performance and maintenance.  There should be an option for freeing up space on your hard drive.  It is call defragmenting, and does not remove programs or file.  It only rearranges them to make them more organized and take up less space.

For programs, make sure you go to your Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) and uninstall the program rather than clicking delete in a folder.\n\nFor things that aren't in your Add/Remove Programs section, find them in your Start menu or in your hard drive folder and delete them. After deleting them, make sure you Empty your trash bin.\n\nAfter that, go to System Tools and run Disk Clean Up. Delete every item on the list that contains files. After that, run your Yahoo! Toolbar and delete any Spyware/Adware. Then restart your computer. Go to System Tools again and run Defragmentation. After that restart once more and your comp should be good to go.\n\nAnd remember, continue to Defrag once a week to keep your computer working good for years.

delete from the folder you saved, also from recycle bin.\n\nClear out all temporary files, cookies, history etc.

Let's say that you want to delete ALL of the files in your MY DOCUMENTS folder.    Right click on MY DOCUMENTS and pick EXPLORE.   Click on any file on the RIGHT SIDE and use CONTROL and A (to select all).   Then RIGHT CLICK on the highlighted files and pick DELETE.    All of those files would delete.   Then empty your recycle bin. \n\nBut for programs, open the Control Panel and use the ADD/REMOVE section to uninstall each one.   So at this point, those programs would be safely removed. \n\nIf you are GIVING this computer to someone else, but want it functional, use the DISK CLEANUP program that is in the System Tools of the Accessories section.  Also, take the time to test the disk.   Open My Computer, then Right Click on the C drive and pick PROPERTIES.  Then pick the Tools section.  Click on the CHECK NOW button, check both tests then let the test run after you REBOOT.   \n\nAfter testing the disk, run DEFRAG.  Find this also in the System Tools section.    When you DEFRAG, this will move many files around and connect them together.  During this process, remnants of your old files, even though deleted previously, will be scrambled pretty well.   This will also optimize the system and really make it "as good as it can".\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Sorry I don't have the link right now, but do a Google search for ccleaner (yes, two "c's"). That should do it for you, and it's a free program. Also, after running it, it's good to run defrag just to tie up loose ends.

I've had real good luck with a free program called CCleaner.\n\nwww.ccleaner.com\n\nFirst time I used it I thought I'd mess everything up.  But it worked just fine, has a built in backup "just in case", and I use it every couple of days.  My computer seems to function as fast as when I first got it.

Here is a great clean-up utility that deletes temp files and items that may not be needed.  Be careful with the setting as it is very good at what it does. \n\nWindows Clean-up

I use http://www.ccleaner.com\n\nCCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

Run Disk Cleanup. You'll find this under Programs->Accessories->System Tools\n\nSelect Temporary Internet files and Temporary Files\nClick OK to delete them\n\nThis might help.

There's a brilliant program called Ccleaner. I use it so it must be idiot proof.\nwww.ccleaner.com\nDefragment the hard drive, go to Start - Accessories - System Tools - Defragment.\nAlso, try storing big files like images on a separate partition, or preferably a separate drive such as an external hard drive. Pc's do slow down as you start to use them and I think to an extent its unavoidable.

Go Start Menu>Progams>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Clean up.  It will show you all the stuff you DON'T need any longer.  Just check all the boxes and it will clear that stuff off your disk.  I've seen some people have 4.5 GB of stuff they don't need on their computer (most of it old setup files and compressed files).  Another thing is to go to the "Add or Remove Software" and uninstall any unwanted software.
