All people who have a computer are faced with a problem, the essence of which is the PC “freezes” and “logs”. To prevent this from happening, you should regularly clean your computer of unnecessary file elements.
Why clean up?
Filling up computer memory is a problem that almost every person who has a PC faces, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s at home or at work. And the main question in this matter is how to clean unnecessary files on your computer without harming its software.
PC memory begins to fill up too quickly when the user very often installs and then removes programs from his personal computer. A full hard drive system causes the entire PC to slow down, various software to open slowly, and games to have a sluggish interface.
Also, a signal that the memory of the PC’s hard drive is full will be a constantly pop-up window with a message stating that the memory is full and you need to free up space on the system disk. If this window repeatedly pops up for you, then you should start quickly taking steps to clear up free space on your existing personal computer.
The positive aspects of getting rid of unnecessary file elements:
- increasing the free memory of a personal computer;
- all kinds of programs will open twice as fast;
- turning your PC on and off will take just a few seconds;
- PC operation will speed up significantly;
- The risk of errors in operation on the system disk is reduced.
PC cleaning without utilities
Clearing your computer of unnecessary files is possible even for a person who is not fluent in computers. People who are just starting to work with a computer do not want to resort to the help of various tools when cleaning their PC.
Since this is a very long and painstaking work that requires special attention. But often there is not enough time, and you want everything to clear itself.

Windows Cleanup Wizard
Windows Cleanup Wizard is software that is installed on every computer, regardless of the software version, whose task is to remove temporary and unused file elements from the system disk.
This program is chosen by thousands of users who are concerned about the condition of their PC.
The Windows Cleanup Wizard is able to remove all unnecessary and unused files by the system quickly and efficiently.
Working with this wizard is very easy and understandable.
A simple interface and easy handling are the main advantage of this software. The Windows Cleanup Wizard is a standard program, that is, it is already available on the computer after installing different versions of Windows. And this is also the positive side of this program.
To get started with removing unnecessary file items, you will need to take the following steps:
Removing unused programs
On every computer, there are software that are never used at all. And they are the ones who fill the space in memory. And along with the memory filling, problems begin to appear, problems with the operation of your PC.
If you delete a program manually, then after a while the PC memory will inevitably fill up. Since when you delete software, you delete only part of the electronic documents that it consists of. After its removal, most of these file elements remain.
To remove the software you will need to take the following steps:
Temporary files
Temporary files– these are electronic documents that are created during the installation of various programs, as well as during their operation.
In general, these file elements should be created temporarily and deleted automatically after the program is uninstalled. But it doesn't always happen this way. And often the opposite is true. Therefore, it is recommended to regularly clean your personal computer of unnecessary files.
You need to delete temporary file elements:
Many programs can clean a personal computer, for example, TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, nCleaner second, Glary Utilities, AusLogics BoostSpeed, Revo Uninstaller, Advanced SystemCare Pro. But the undoubted leader among all existing programs is Ccleaner, and the number of its downloads has long exceeded a thousand.
Personal files
But the memory on computers is filled not only with temporary or residual files, but also with personal files. Almost all programmers recommend storing personal files not on the system drive (C), but on the personal drive (D). Or even create compressed archives, and store your personal files in them.
Knowledgeable people also recommend storing various videos, films and music on external media (for example, on a flash drive or CD).
After all, by using this method of storing your personal files, you can protect your personal computer from completely filling up the memory, both on the system drive and on your personal drive, and this leads to slow operation of the PC.

How to clean your computer of unnecessary files with CCleaner
The program is designed to free up free space on your computer and delete unused electronic documents by the operating system. This program can be downloaded from the Internet absolutely free. It also removes all unused files from your computer correctly, and without harm to your PC.
Pros of the CCleaner program:
- works with both 32 and 64-bit operating systems;
- cleans your personal computer quickly and efficiently from temporary, unused and unnecessary files;
- deletes all files independently and without your intervention;
- it can be downloaded for free from the Internet;
- relatively light weight;
- Quite simple installation of programs.
And now about how to clean unnecessary files using CCleaner in stages:
You will see the result of clearing your PC memory of unused file elements immediately and immediately. The main and positive result of cleansing is the availability of free space on the PC. In second place is the normalization of your PC. And never forget the main rule: Clean your computer of unused file elements at least once every 2 weeks!
To ensure normal operation of your computer, it is not at all necessary to install third-party programs to clean your hard drive or system registry. All this can be done using standard operating system tools. You just need to know where to go and what to press so as not to do something irreparable and prevent the OS from completely crashing.
In this case, the “garbage” is temporary files that may remain after installing applications, registry entries that persist even after uninstalling programs using standard means, and various logs. All these arrays are capable of filling up the hard drive and RAM. This naturally leads to necessity.
The hard drive starts to fill up first. Remnants of deleted programs and various temporary files appear on it. System restore points take up a lot of free space.
You can delete junk files very easily; you just need to use the built-in utility that is available in the Windows operating system. It can be activated in two ways:
- Use the “Run” command, which is launched by the Win+R key combination. In the window that opens, you need to type “cleanmgr.exe” and complete the operand by pressing Enter. First of all, the cleaning manager will ask you to select a disk to analyze for the presence of garbage.
- The second method launches a similar built-in utility, but allows you to bypass the step of selecting the desired volume. You can call the program by right-clicking on the letter of the desired drive. Select Properties from the drop-down menu and proceed to Disk Cleanup.
The following user actions are the same for both methods of calling the utility. After launch, the analysis of the partition begins, the result of which is the appearance of a window with a list of what can be easily deleted. The user can only check the boxes and click “Ok”.
The system will once again remind you that this procedure is irreversible and will ask for consent to perform the action. After some time, the duration of which will depend on the amount of accumulated garbage, you will be able to verify that there is more free space on the disk.
Another reason for disk fullness is the accumulation of a large number of recovery points, which are located in the Prefetch folder. But cleaning the folder manually is not the most optimal way, especially since there are built-in system tools ready to help.
To run the tool to remove unnecessary restore points, you must take the following steps:
- Right-click on the letter of the desired volume and select the “Properties” menu item.
- Go to the “Disk Cleanup” tab.
- Select the “Clean up system files” option. This will require administrator rights.
- By clicking on the “Advanced” tab, the user will see two items: “Programs and Features” and “System Restore and Shadow Copies”.
- Having selected the second item, you must press the “Clear” key.
- The system will issue a warning prompt, notifying the user that he is about to delete all restore points except the last one.
- After clicking the “Delete” button, cleaning will occur.
TO INFORMATION!
In some cases, performing such manipulations allows you to free up gigabytes of free space, since the older the system, the more space its copy takes up, since the checkpoint is precisely a copy of the OS at a certain point in time.
Disk Defragmenter
After cleaning the hard drive from residual debris, it will not be superfluous. Thanks to it, the media will become more “responsive” and faster interaction with files will occur.
To better understand the meaning and necessity of defragmentation, a few words should be said about this process. A hard drive is made up of many cells called clusters. Information is recorded in them. Moreover, file fragments are not placed in cells in a row, but only in free ones.
It turns out that at a certain moment, when the user often wrote and erased information from the hard drive, the file could be fragmented during the next write. Its parts can be located in different places on the carrier. This leads to the fact that the next time you access information, the system will take more time for the desired program to start.
Defragmentation, the process of organizing clusters, helps to avoid this. All occupied cells are transferred to the beginning of the hard disk, all free cells are moved beyond. Thus, the system performance is improved by speeding up the process of accessing files.
It is quite possible to carry out the procedure using internal OS tools. To do this, the user will need to perform the following steps:
- Call the context menu by right-clicking on the desired drive letter.
- Go to properties.
- Open the “Service” tab.
- Select "Defragment...".
- To start the procedure, you will need to analyze the desired volume.
- Clicking on the "Disk Defragmentation" button will begin the process.
TO INFORMATION!
Solid state drives or SSD drives do not require defragmentation, since they have a slightly different structure and file recording features.
Cleaning the registry
The next step to improve the performance of your computer is to clean the system registry, which accumulates a large number of old or non-existent keys. This also affects the performance of the PC.
The best way to achieve optimization is to use specialized programs, since performing the procedure manually requires certain knowledge.
To access the system registry, you need to open the command line and run the command: “regedit”. Using a key allows you to gain access as an administrator.
Before you start cleaning the registry, it is recommended to make a backup copy of it. To keep it in the same condition as it was before the adjustment. To do this, in the editor you need to select the “File” menu item, then click the “Export” button, noting first that you will need to copy the entire registry. The system will ask the user to indicate the save location and come up with a name for the file.
Direct cleaning consists of removing unnecessary keys manually, selected from the general tree.
TO INFORMATION!
To clean your computer of garbage, you need to audit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section. It is here, in the SOFTWARE section, that application entries are located.
It is quite difficult to search for the required key on your own, so you can use the built-in search system, which is activated by pressing the Ctrl+F key combination. This is how you can search for sections corresponding to a specific program.
Removing unused programs
Very often, the user does not even think about the need to remove old or unused programs. This leads to less and less space on your hard drive.
In the operating system, deleting an application is quite simple. Windows has a standard uninstall tool. The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- go to “Control Panel”;
- select “Programs”;
- In the list of all installed applications that appears, select the one you need and click the “Delete” button.
TO INFORMATION!
Clearing browser cache
Every browser reserves some space on your hard drive called a cache. It is used to save the pages most frequently visited by the user to ensure they load quickly in the future. Over time, the cache grows and can reach hundreds of megabytes.
You can manually clear saved pages directly from the browser. To do this, you need to go to your browser settings, then go to the “Advanced” item and select deleting your browsing history. Depending on the type of browser, the names of the items may differ slightly, but the algorithm of actions remains the same.
The user will also need to select the period for which the saved data will be deleted. This could be a day or the entire time you use the browser. Additionally, when cleaning, you can choose what exactly needs to be deleted: browsing history, download history, cookies, images.
Cleaning your desktop
Many users do not think at all about the appearance of the desktop, which over time begins to fill with folders, shortcuts and just documents. Some people think that by putting the files they need on their desktop, they make them easier to access. But when there are a lot of them, it becomes difficult to navigate through this chaos.
To clean your desktop, you can run the built-in utility called Cleanup Wizard. To activate it, you need to right-click on the free space and select the menu item “Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard”.
A window will open showing your unused shortcuts and the date they last accessed the app they link to. After checking the required boxes, click “Next”.
Upon completion of the wizard, a new folder called “Unused Shortcuts” will appear on the desktop, where all outdated links will be placed.
The second way to put things in order on your desktop is to create a special folder, which is best placed on another logical drive. When placing it on a system partition, there is a high probability of data loss during a failure.
After the folder has been created, you just need to move all the items on your desktop there. Thanks to this, the user will receive a single place where the necessary files, folders and shortcuts will be located.
Cleaning torrents
Those who like to download movies or TV series via torrents may encounter the problem that over time a large number of old files will accumulate on their hard drive.
There are two ways to get rid of outdated torrents:
- The first is to use uTorrent's own menu. By going into it, you can select already downloaded files and, by right-clicking, activate the “Delete” command. This way you can get rid of torrent files and downloaded movies.
- The second method involves manual removal. All saved downloads are located at C:\username\ApplicationData\uTorrent. By going there, you can simply select all the files in the folder and delete them through the trash bin, or bypassing it (key combination Shift+Del).
Autorun cleaning
Most programs are added to autorun during installation. This, on the one hand, allows them to launch faster, but on the other hand, it takes up PC resources, causing it to slow down.
To get to the list of programs that are allowed to start when you turn on the computer, you will need to go to the task manager. It can be called by the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del.
In the window that opens, you need to go to the “Startup” tab, where a list of applications will be displayed, their status (on or off) and the degree of impact on the processor.
Clicking the right mouse button on the selected program allows you to select an action. You can disable the application, view the location of the file in the folder, and find information about this product on the Internet.
To turn off autorun, you must select the appropriate context menu item.

The optimal program for cleaning your hard drive from accumulated garbage is the Advanced System Care application. It is also distributed absolutely free of charge. This utility is optimized for working with the Windows operating system, which allows you to use it not only to remove accumulated garbage, but also to eliminate system errors. The developers claim that using their application increases PC performance by 400%.
To remove old programs
The most important requirement for third-party applications that remove installed programs is to uninstall completely, removing not only files, but also system registry keys. This is exactly what is possible when using the Revo Uninstaller product. The program offers several removal modes, in which you can completely get rid of outdated applications. There is a ported version that works without installation. The developers, with their characteristic sense of humor, endowed the utility with a hunting mode (when removal is done using a sight on the desktop) and a drag and drop function (uninstallation is carried out by transferring the desired program to the fireplace).
To defragment a hard drive
To organize files on your hard drive, it is best to use programs that are specifically designed for this. One of the best applications is Auslogic Disk Defrag. The utility is distributed free of charge. With its help, the process of consolidating free space can be fully automated. The program has a built-in scheduler that makes it possible to configure the computer to shut down after the defragmentation process is complete.

Cleaning your computer of debris is a procedure that should become mandatory for every PC user. Removing unnecessary files, tidying up the system registry, and clearing the browser cache not only helps free up space, but also speeds up the machine. Once again, you can learn the intricacies of cleaning your computer from the presented video.
All personal computer users sooner or later encounter a situation when the computer starts to slow down or runs out of free space on the “C” drive. This is a clear sign that it’s time to clean your computer of junk and unnecessary files, otherwise very soon the computer will begin to become unstable or simply stop booting. In this article we will look in detail at how to correctly use some program clean your computer.
There are many programs that can be used to clean your computer. Programs such as “Norton Utilities”, “WinUtilities”, “TuneUp Utilities” clean and optimize the computer system well, but for the average user they will seem too complicated.
In our example, we will look at how to clean a computer using the program "Ace Utilities", it's easy to use and does its job well.
First you need to download it somewhere, for example, type the phrase R12 in the Yandex search bar; “download Ace Utilities rus” and get many results where you can download this program.
So we installed the cleaner program and now let's start cleaning the computer
First, a window will open to create a restore point in order to restore the system in case of any failures, but in my practice this has never happened. “It’s like the non-Russians say R12; Plan b"
Don’t touch anything here and click “Next”
So, the restore point has been created, click “Finish”
And here is the main window of the program for cleaning our computer
On the left, select “Cleaning” and on the right, click on “Clean up unnecessary files”
In the window that opens, click on the binoculars in the upper left corner. Scanning of unnecessary files begins. The scanning time may take several minutes depending on the performance of your computer. It will seem that the computer is frozen, but it is not, you need to wait until the computer is scanned
After scanning the computer is finished and the program finds all unnecessary files (garbage), click the “Delete All” button, i.e. "Delete everything". Don’t be afraid to click, nothing unnecessary will be deleted, these are temporary files left over from once installed games or programs that will never be needed again. After deleting unnecessary files, the window will automatically close.
The deletion process has started
Now we need to clean the system registry. The registry stores settings for the entire Windows operating system and all programs installed on it.
Select “Clean up the system registry”
In the upper left corner, click the “Scan” button. Scanning can also last quite a long time, from 2 to 15 minutes.
After scanning is completed, click the “Remove All” button. That's it, the registry is cleared of garbage. This will affect the speed and loading of the computer.
Now you need to select the “Remove invalid shortcuts” tab
Again, click “Binoculars” and scanning begins
After scanning, we see all the unnecessary shortcuts, there can be a lot of them. I recently cleaned out my computer, which is why I have so few of them. Click the “Delete” button as shown in the picture above
Click the “Yes” button, thereby agreeing to the removal of incorrect shortcuts
The next stage of cleaning and optimization is R12; Registry defragmentation.
On the left, select the item “Optimization” and on the right, “Registry Defragmentation”, i.e. Let's put the register in order.
Defragmentation can take a very long time from several minutes to half an hour depending on the performance of the computer, so it may seem. that the computer is frozen, but it is not. You must wait until the program finishes and the window opens as in the picture below
Defragmentation is now complete. Click the “Finish” button, and the computer should reboot itself.
There is one final step left in cleaning the R12 computer; This is hard drive defragmentation, also a very important stage in optimizing computer performance. It greatly affects the speed of opening programs.
To defragment the hard drive, click the “Start” button
select “All programs”
Next, select the “Standard” folder
In the “Standard” folder, select the “Service” folder
In the “System” folder we find the “Registry Defragmenter” program and run it.
In the program that opens, select the drive that we want to defragment, the main drive is drive “C”, it contains the entire Windows operating system, so it needs to be defragmented first. I have three disks, and you may have 2 or 1, depending on how you were configured in the store where you purchased your computer.
After selecting the disk, click the “Analyze disk” button or you can immediately click on the “Disk Defragmentation” button R12; in this case, the analysis will occur automatically.
Defragmentation can generally take half a day depending on the size of the hard drive, so if you do it, don’t be surprised if it takes a very long time.
So we actually cleaned our computer.

Even a new computer after some time begins to freeze during operation. This happens due to the fact that a large number of unnecessary files, programs and cache accumulate in the system. You can fix the problem by clearing your computer of junk.
Free computer cleaning of junk and unnecessary files
Let's look at the most popular cleaning methods.
Cleaning the registry
Start» - « Execute».
Enter " regedit" and press " Enter" or OK.
First of all, you need to create a backup: " File» - «»…
The editor window is divided into 2 parts. The left section displays the sections, and the right displays individual registries.
Now you need to find and delete records of deleted programs.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER - « Software»…
You need to look through all the entries and find those that contain the name of the program or developer company. In the picture below this is the program.
Find the entry and press the button Delete.
If an error occurs after changing the registry, you can restore it from a backup copy.
Cleaning the system disk
Before you clean your computer of junk, you need to save all your data. Usually files user are stored on drive D, A programs are installed on drive C. If the hard drive is not partitioned, then all information is stored on drive C. You need to transfer files, music, photos, videos from one partition to another drive, cloud storage, etc.
The "" function is built into OS Windows 7. Right-click (RMB) on the shortcut “ My computer", select the item " Properties" and further "".
In the next window you need to select the partitions that should be deleted. Usually this is the “” folder, a cache from the Internet and files in the Recycle Bin.
The disk cleaning process begins.
Cleaning startup
Not all programs that are installed on a computer are garbage. Antivirus and firewall are designed specifically to protect the system. They should not be removed from startup, unlike other programs. Torrent, the application for the sound card can be launched separately later. You can clean your computer using the built-in program MSConfig.
« Start» - « Execute" or " Win+R» - « msconfig.exe» - OK.
The "" window will open. Go to the tab "" and " Service».
This displays a list of all programs that load when Windows starts. There is a check mark next to each of them. To remove a program from startup, you need to remove the check mark and click.
To avoid accidentally disabling a system program, activate the “” checkbox at the bottom.
All changes will take effect after the system is rebooted.
Removing unnecessary programs and files
The next step in cleaning your computer from junk is deleting unused programs. This can be done using system tools, through the control panel.
Start – Control Panel – .
You need to find the program in the list and click on the “ Delete».
This method has one serious drawback - “tails” of programs may remain on the computer.
You can also clean your computer from viruses through the registry. Viruses create registry entries to load their files when Windows starts. They are located HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. They need to be found and removed.
- Open the registry: Win + R - Regedit - Enter.
- Go to the section /Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run.
- We find the file - right-click - Delete.
Next, you need to clear all malicious entries in the registry. To do this, click “ Computer" - tab " Edit» - « Find" Enter the names of all malicious processes and click “ Find next" You need to delete all registry branches that contain these files.
Clearing the cache
A cache is a storage for temporary files, but most often unnecessary files accumulate here. It has to be cleaned manually. The cache may contain temporary files and DNS. Consider how to clear your computer of junk cache.
DNS- this is the sequence of determining the correspondence between the IP and the text name of a computer on the network. Each time, the domain's DNS information is cached for later use. This provides quick access to the file and reduces server load. But if the IP changes, the user will not be able to open the site using a link to the domain name. To avoid this error, you need to clear the cache by running the command " Start» – « Execute» - ipconfig /flushdns. The system will clear the memory and close the window.
How to delete temporary files from your hard drive was described earlier.
Over a long period of time, duplicate files accumulate on the computer. For example, a user downloaded a movie, forgot about it, and then copied it again. Manually clearing your computer of debris in the form of duplicates is very time-consuming and inconvenient. Therefore, it is better to use third-party programs, for example, AllDup. The search is carried out immediately on all disks, inside archives, filters, etc.
By default, the search is performed by file name. In the settings, you need to change the search options by specifying the file contents as the method.
Based on the search results, files will be sorted by size. You can only view photos. Check the duplicates and click the button in the upper left corner.
Selected files can be deleted or moved to any disk partition, for example, the Recycle Bin.
Here's how to clean your computer of junk for free.
How to clean your computer using special utilities
Built-in programs have a limited set of functions. Sometimes, with the help of one third-party application, you can solve several problems at the same time.

Greetings to all readers on the blog!
Sooner or later, no matter how you keep “order” on your computer, a lot of unnecessary files (sometimes called garbage). They appear, for example, when installing programs, games, and even when viewing Internet pages! By the way, over time, if too many of these junk files accumulate, the computer may begin to slow down (as if think for a few seconds before your command is executed).
Therefore, from time to time, it is necessary to clean your computer of unnecessary files, promptly remove unnecessary programs, and, in general, maintain order in Windows. This article will tell you how to do this...
1. Cleaning your computer of unnecessary temporary files
First, let's clean up your computer from junk files. Not so long ago, by the way, I had an article about the best programs for carrying out this operation:
Personally, I opted for the package.
Advantages:
Works in all popular Windows: XP, 7, 8, 8.1;
Works very quickly;
The kit includes a large number of utilities that will help you quickly optimize your PC;
The free features of the program are enough;
Full support for the Russian language.
To clean your disk from unnecessary files, you need to run the program and go to the modules section. Next, select “disk cleanup” (see screenshot below).
2. Removing programs that have not been used for a long time
Most users, over time, simply accumulate a huge number of programs, most of which they no longer need for a long time. Those. We once solved a problem, solved it, but the program remained. In most cases, it is better to remove such programs so that they do not take up space on the hard drive and do not take up PC resources (many such programs register themselves in startup, which is why the PC takes longer to turn on).
Finding rarely used programs is also convenient in
To do this, in the modules section, select Uninstall programs. See screenshot below.
Next, select the subsection “ rarely used programs". By the way, be careful, among rarely used programs there are updates that should not be removed ( programs like Microsoft Visual C++, etc.).
By the way, there was previously a small article about uninstalling programs: (may be useful if you decide to use other uninstallation utilities).
3. Find and remove duplicate files
I think that every user on his computer has about a dozen ( maybe a hundred...) various collections of music in mp3 format, several collections of pictures, etc. The thing is that many files in such collections are repeated, i.e. A large number of duplicates accumulate on your computer’s hard drive. As a result, disk space is not used rationally; instead of repetitions, it would be possible to store unique files!
Finding such files “manually” is unrealistic, even for the most persistent users. Moreover, when it comes to disks of several terabytes completely filled with information...
As a result, with such simple actions you can not only clean your computer of unnecessary files, but also increase its performance and reduce the number of errors. I recommend doing this cleaning regularly.
All the best!
