Accumulation of residues remote applications, unnecessary entries in the registry, temporary files, logs that remain after Windows updates and programs and other garbage reduces the performance of the computer. If all this is not removed, over time the PC becomes so slow and annoying that the user cannot stand it and reinstalls the system. However, after a couple of months everything returns to normal - the brakes, low FPS, and all sorts of glitches. Meanwhile, the problem can be solved simply - it is enough to do preventive maintenance 1-2 times a month using a computer cleaning program. We will talk about them today.
We have prepared a brief overview of the capabilities of the best Windows utilities that can speed up your system by up to 50-70% relative to the original level. All of them are free and designed for new users.
CCleaner is one of the most popular Windows cleaning utilities in user ratings. And one of the safest. Cleaning the registry and applications in CCleaner is configured in such a way that, even if you try, you will not be able to delete something important, thereby disrupting the performance of the system. In this part, the program can be used by novice users without fear. However, it also contains functions that it is better not to touch without proper knowledge. One of them is erasing disks. If you accidentally confuse it with Disk Cleanup (built-in tool Windows optimization), you can permanently lose any important data, since the program destroys them irrevocably.
Proper use of CCleaner can speed up your computer by 5-50%. The result depends on the initial clutter of the system and the amount of information on the disks.
CCleaner functionality
All application functions are divided into 4 groups, and groups into subgroups. The first group is “Cleaning”, includes sections:
- Windows (Edge and Internet Explorer, conductor, system components, etc.).
- Applications (third-party browsers, multimedia, Internet applications, system applications etc.).
Clearing both removes only temporary and unnecessary data, without affecting the main one.
The second group - “Register”, has no subgroups. Here is a tool for fixing registry errors and cleaning it from garbage.
The third group - “Service”, contains the following sections:
- Managing startup programs.
- Browser add-on management.
- Analysis of disk space distribution.
- Search for duplicate files.
- System Restore.
- Erasing disks.
The fourth group is “Settings”. It includes:
- Basic settings of CCleaner.
- Browser cookies (setting exceptions).
- Inclusions (objects that are always subject to removal).
- Exception (objects that the program should not process).
- Monitoring applications (setting up auto-cleaning).
- Trusted users.
- Additional parameters (for experienced ones).
CCleaner supports many languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh. You can download it in both installation and portable versions. The latter can be launched, for example, from a flash drive.
Wise Care 365
Wise Care 365 is an impressive package of utilities for optimizing your computer, most of which are available for free (the application is available in two versions - free and premium, in free versions some items are blocked). Like CCleaner, Wise Care 365 scans the system for garbage, errors, incorrect (from the developers’ point of view) settings and makes it possible to fix them - both individually and “in bulk”.
With this program, the user can clean and optimize Windows without thinking about the purpose of a particular function. Just run the scan and click the “Fix” button after it.
Wise Care 365 functionality
Wise Care 365 features are also divided into groups. The first tab, “Check,” is intended for a comprehensive search and elimination of problems throughout the entire system. The following parameters are checked:
- Safety.
- Unnecessary files (temporary, cache, logs, etc.).
- Invalid registry entries.
- System optimization (presence of factors affecting performance).
- Computer history (opening documents and visiting web resources through Internet Explorer).
After scanning, the program determines the PC’s “health” index and offers to correct errors with the click of one button.
On the same first tab there is a panel of additional utilities. Available in the free version:
- Deleting files that cannot be deleted using Windows.
- PC shutdown timer.
- Recovery deleted files.
- Memory optimization.
- Uninstalling programs.
The second tab, “Cleaning”, contains several subsections:
- Cleaning the registry.
- Quick disk cleanup.
- Deep cleaning.
- System cleaning ( unnecessary components Windows).
The third tab – “Optimization” – contains:
- Subsection "Optimization" (here you can change the registry settings to stabilize and speed up Windows operation, increasing network speed, shortening the time it takes to turn the computer on and off).
- Disk defragmentation.
- Registry compression and defragmentation.
- Startup management.
The “Privacy” tab contains the following subsections:
- Wiping the disc.
- Overwriting files.
- Password generator.
On last tab— “System”, the application shows running processes and a list of PC equipment.
Wise Care 365, like Ccleaner, has been translated into Russian and is available in installation and portable versions.
Windows Cleaner
The Windows Cleaner utility includes tools for freeing the system from unnecessary files, registry entries and unused programs that can be launched manually and on a schedule. Among the optimization tools, only startup management is present here. There are no options here aimed at increasing computer performance (not counting cleaning tools).
Windows Cleaner saves a history of previously performed cleanings. If you accidentally delete an important registry entry or file, the program allows you to undo the last operations - perform a system restore to a checkpoint.
Windows Cleaner functionality
The Cleaning section of Windows Cleaner contains two tabs: Files and Registry. The first one contains a list of unnecessary file system objects, the second one contains registry entries. The program supports 4 cleaning modes:
- Fast.
- Optimal.
- Deep.
- Custom.
After scanning, Windows Cleaner displays a list of objects to be removed. Strange, but the user does not have the ability to remove any file or entry from it. You can only exclude an entire group of objects from scanning (temporary files, memory dumps, report logs, etc.).
The “Service” section contains the “Startup” and “Uninstall programs” tabs.
“History” stores records of previously performed operations.
In “Settings” you set the cleaning parameters according to the schedule: interval, time, mode.
Windows Cleaner was developed in Russia. The official website has reference information on working with the program in Russian, as well as a form feedback with the developer.

The applications included in today's review support all editions of Windows, from XP to Windows 10. We decided not to talk about programs whose authors limited themselves to supporting systems up to Windows 7, since they are not relevant today.
The main task of CCleaner is to clean the user’s computer from waste products and Windows itself, or, more simply put, from computer “garbage”. It inevitably accumulates and, over time, begins to consume useful disk space. Regular cleaning also helps to erase confidential data, the main part of which is traces of Internet use.
The start window will open the interface of the main module of the program - “Cleaning”, before starting work with which we recommend that you carefully read the numerous parameters. The “Analysis” button will help show exactly what data will be deleted and evaluate whether something should be changed in the settings so as not to delete unnecessary information.
By default, the cleaning settings in CCleaner can already be called correct, because... they are the most loyal and will not erase important or useful user data. However, at this stage it is worth deciding whether you want to delete confidential data (traces of using programs, Internet surfing) or simply from accumulated temporary and cache files.
If you want CCleaner to be just a cleaner:
- in the “Applications” tab, leave only the “Internet cache” items checked for browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.) and email clients (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.)
- in the “Applications” tab in the “Internet”, “Multimedia”, “Utilities”, etc. blocks, check the boxes at your discretion (if, for example, you do not want the “latest videos” to be deleted in KMPlayer, then uncheck the box)
- in the “Windows” tab leave only:
- line “Temporary browser files” in the “Internet Explorer” block
- all lines in the “System” block
- In the CCleaner menu item “Settings” → “Advanced”, we recommend checking the line “Delete only files older than 24 hours from the Recycle Bin”
If you want maximum cleaning, including private data:
- We recommend creating your own files for browsers
- in the “Windows” tab in the “Windows Explorer” block, look carefully at the marked lines, for example, “Thumbnail cache” there is no particular point in deleting
If you want to return to initial settings, then this can easily be done using the “Restore default settings” button at the bottom of the same “Settings” → “Advanced” window.
Cleaning process and results
After selecting the desired options, just click the “Analysis” button. CCleaner will prepare an interim report on the data that can be deleted, based on the available settings. Then you can immediately begin processing all found records using the “Cleanup” button or selectively remove results from the report using context menu right click mice. This is roughly what the entire cleaning process looks like in CCleaner:
The main advice is that when making the tincture, do not check off those items whose names you do not understand. It’s easier to figure it out once (the search engine is always helpful) than to accidentally delete something you need. It is worth noting that cleaning your computer using CCleaner in hidden mode is also worth paying attention to the functionality of the module, which can also be useful.
Read what cleaning Windows 7 means. When it should be done. All ways to clean the registry and junk files. Useful programs and simple instructions.
Even the most professional users have to clean their operating systems from debris from time to time. If you have installed it on your computer, you need to constantly monitor its status. Microsoft no longer releases regular updates for this version (only available basic packages security), so you will have to fix the work of the seven yourself.
Let's look at how you can quickly and without harm to the system clean Windows 7 and significantly speed up tasks.
Why does my computer freeze?
System freezes are always the result of user actions. The exception is those cases when the computer does not support the installed OS: the available hardware components cannot ensure the normal execution of the program code.
If immediately after Windows installations 7, everything worked fine and very quickly, but over time, frequent freezes began, programs began to turn off, and the system itself started very slowly, all this suggests that it was time to clean up unnecessary data and processes.
Freezes appear in the following cases:
- There are a large number of programs installed on your computer, half of which you do not use;
- Startup Full - in parallel with turning on the operating system, other programs that you did not launch yourself begin their work. Because of this the process Windows launch may take many minutes instead of just a few seconds;
- The system is infected with viruses. Malware can run processes in RAM that cannot be closed. As a result, the computer starts to get very hot and other programs run very slowly. Also, there is a danger of your personal data being stolen;
- Content hard drive“cluttered” with files that are no longer needed. This includes both temporary files created by the OS itself, as well as user documents, films, and a large number of photographs. There can really be a lot of them, because most users may not clear their PC memory for years.
How to get the system working
A comprehensive cleaning of your Windows 7 computer will help return the OS to normal operation. There are two ways to get rid of unnecessary data and processes:
- Manually using standard Windows services;
- Using special software to optimize the OS.
First, we recommend performing the simplest steps. Typically this is sufficient to return the system to normal state. If you continue to experience slow performance, try installing third-party utilities. They will help not only free up disk space, but also clean the registry, analyze the operation of all system modules and fix errors.
Using the built-in Disk Cleanup utility
The first and easiest way to clean your computer from junk on Windows 7 is to work with the standard removal service hard files disk. It automatically detects and deletes temporary files, various error reports, thumbnails, Trash contents, and other system junk.
To get started with the Disk Cleanup service, follow the instructions:
- Open the My Computer window. It will show all available hard disks. By right-clicking on one of the elements, go to its properties window. Detailed information about free and occupied space is displayed here. If you see that there is less than 20% of free space left (or less than 1 GB), you need to perform a cleanup. First of all, we recommend checking the condition system disk WITH;
- In the properties window, click on “Clear”. The memory size analysis window will open;
- Next you will see a list of groups of files that can be deleted, as well as the amount of memory consumed. We advise you to check all the boxes and perform a disk cleanup.
Often this service works very slowly. All due to severe clutter of disk space. Do not cancel the action and wait until the removal is completed. As a result, you can free up several gigabytes at once.
Clearing temporary files
Temporary files are entries that are created by all applications that are launched. The computer will no longer need this data, so it needs to be deleted from time to time. To perform the procedure manually, you need to go to the root folder of drive C. Open “My Computer” and click on the drive icon.
Go to the path C:\\Windows\Temp. A directory can contain several hundred files. You can select all elements using the keyboard shortcut CTRLA. Then delete the contents and empty the Trash. Next, restart your computer and check if it runs faster.
Sometimes the Temp folder may not appear on the system. To do this, you need to enable its visibility:
- Go to start menu"Start";
- Open the Control Panel window;
- Set list items to appear as Small Icons and find the Folder Options option. Open this window;
- Go to the “View” tab and in the list of additional options, mark the “Show hidden folders” field with a marker, and also check the box next to “show compressed and encrypted files”;
- Save changes and try to find Temp folder again.
Uninstalling programs
Often the cause of insufficient space on drive C may not be temporary files, but many installed applications or games. If you leave unused programs on your computer, this will result in a pop-up window like this:
Follow the instructions to remove programs on your Windows 7 computer:
- Open the Start menu and click on “Control Panel”;
- In the window that opens, find the “Add or Remove Programs” field and click on it;
- Wait for the list of all software installed on your computer to load. This may take a long time, especially if the system is running slowly;
- To remove a program or game, click on the desired name and in the window that opens, wait for the process to complete.
Please note that using the list of installed applications you can analyze your work with the software. The “Usage” column displays the startup frequency (Frequently, Rarely, Never). With the help of this information, it will be easier for you to figure out what software should not be stored on the system.
If you are deleting a game, we recommend that you also check the Program Files folder on drive C. If, after uninstallation, a folder with the name of the game remains in it, delete it. Thus, developers often leave cached files and mission progress records in case the user decides to reinstall the software.
Fixing slow PC loading
The reason may also be the load on the RAM. After deleting data from the hard drive, we recommend moving on to working with the OP.
All processes that occur in RAM are regulated by the Task Manager. With this system utility users can view a list of running processes and the programs that created them. Also, you can manage system startup and user accounts.
To launch Task Manager in Windows 7, open Start and enter the name of the utility in the search bar. The system will immediately display the result. Open the field as shown in the image below:
Another way to launch the Manager is to use the Run window. You can open it using the WinR button combination. Enter the TASKMGR command in the text field and click OK.
Startup Management
To edit the list of programs and services that are loaded with the OS, go to the “ ” tab. Uncheck the boxes next to the processes for which you want to disable autorun. This will not harm the system, because in Windows 7 the Task Manager does not display services that are important for the operation of the system. This means you won't be able to kill a system process by mistake.
Removing it from Startup will not harm the program or game in any way. They will remain installed on the computer, they will only stop turning on when the desktop starts. In the future, you can enable the program yourself using its shortcut.
Closing unnecessary processes
If the computer turns on quickly enough, but after some time you start to experience severe OS freezes, check the running processes. In the Task Manager, open the appropriate tab and analyze which tasks are consuming a large amount of RAM. Close the most time-consuming objects by clicking the "End Process" button.
Advanced SystemCare utility
Advanced SystemCare is a program for Windows cleaning 7, which allows you to perform all system optimization options in one window, from deleting files from the hard drive to adjusting RAM.
A special feature of the application is its ability to monitor system performance in real time. The utility identifies errors and allows you to eliminate them in a few mouse clicks.
The application interface is divided into several tabs:
- Speed Up – This built-in service allows you to speed up your computer. In simple words, the utility deletes from RAM unnecessary processes, thereby speeding up the operation of the system at the moment;
- Protect is a protection module. With it, you can scan the OS for virus software and remove all found ones. malware. Also, Advanced SystemCare will be able to check the reliability of the EXE files that are launched. A notification about the threat will appear in the tray;
- Clean&Optimize is the main and most functional tab. By clicking the Scan button you will start the service hard checks disk, system registry, Startup. As a result of correcting errors, all garbage will be removed from the system, shortcuts will be corrected, the registry and RAM will start working normally (without erroneous records and processes);
- In the Toolbox tab you can buy additional tools to monitor system performance;
- Action Center allows you to set the next time your computer is scanned for errors.
Tweaker is special utility to view and edit all hidden functions systems. As a rule, developers hide these functions so that the average user does not delete important settings by mistake.
The Red Button interface is completely Russified and very easy to use. All tabs are conveniently divided into the main modules of the computer - CPU and RAM, HDD, detected junk files and data to be cleaned Windows registry 7.
Go to each tab one by one and check the box next to the actions you want to take. Using each of these actions will speed up your overall performance. To apply the changes, click on “OK” in the lower right corner.
AusLogics Boost Speed – increasing PC performance
AusLogics Boost Speed is another one good program for cleaning a Windows 7 computer. Its features:
- Quickly scan the system and fix fatal errors;
- Shows hardware failures of the processor and connected buses;
- Built-in Assistant. With its help, you can quickly decide which files need to be deleted and which ones should be left alone;
- Browser protection and acceleration. Often the cause of slow Internet is not connection problems, but a cluttered browser. The AusLogics Boost Speed utility will clear the cache, cookies and improve the speed of loading pages in the browser;
- Acceleration in real time. With the press of one key you can close everything unnecessary processes and unused applications.
Disk Cleaner to clean up disk space
The task of Disk Cleaner is to optimize Windows 7 by cleaning junk files and records on the hard drive. Unlike the standard cleaning utility, this cleaner will help detect all hidden folders that are inaccessible to the average user.
Among the features of the program, it is worth highlighting the effective detection of registry errors, useless files and incorrect shortcuts. Also, the system analyzes how each problem affects the speed of Windows.
By pressing the “Fix” button, the built-in assistant is launched, which independently corrects the system without user intervention. After using the utility, it is recommended to restart your computer.
Results
It is recommended to start cleaning garbage in Windows 7 with a standard utility for deleting temporary files from your hard drive. If this does not help speed up the work, we recommend using third-party software. Before starting the installation of any utility, do not forget to scan its installer with an antivirus.
Which of the programs mentioned above helped you clean Windows 7? Write your options useful applications that may help solve the problem.
After several weeks of running Windows, a significant number of temporary files accumulate (application caches, remnants from installers and remote programs, history of Internet browsers). If you do not periodically get rid of such objects, and the size of the system disk is limited to 20-50 GB, then operating system starts to work slower due to the fact that the files are fragmented - parts of one are located in several places, or even several dozen places. The situation becomes especially dire when there are several hundred megabytes of free space left - the computer in such cases works very slowly.
In this article we will figure out how to clean your computer from junk files using the example of specific programs that run on all Windows.
We use built-in OS tools
First of all, you need to use the tool offered by Windows developers - this is a cleaner integrated into the OS. It doesn't work very well, to put it mildly. You shouldn't constantly use a built-in program to get rid of junk, but it's still better than nothing.
- Open the Run window by pressing Win + R.
- Enter “cleanmgr.exe” in the text line and click “OK”.
The command is also entered in Start. In the same Start you can write “cleanup” and launch the “Disk Cleanup” application.
- We select the disk that we are going to free from garbage (as a rule, this is the system partition C).
- After ten seconds of scanning, a report with search results will appear.
- We mark the required options with the checkboxes (it is recommended to check all the boxes) and click “OK”.
- Confirm the operation by clicking “Delete files”.
As a result, the computer will be freed from several hundred gigabytes of garbage, but not from everything. For comprehensive cleaning of temporary files, you should use specialized applications.
CCleaner
The most popular free cleaner for Windows that works on a computer with any version of the Windows operating system.
- We launch the program and check the boxes in front of the items responsible for deleting certain data.
- If you want to remove traces of the functioning of third-party utilities (office, players, archivers), go to the “Applications” tab and mark the history, cache and other traces of which programs need to be eliminated. Although CCleaner is initially configured in such a way as to remove as much garbage as possible without affecting Windows files.
- Click “Analysis” and wait.
- Once the scan is complete, the result of future cleaning will be displayed, without the ability to exclude anything from the removal list.
- Click “Cleanup” so that the utility erases all the garbage that the computer contains .
Along with file system gets clogged and system registry. CCleaner allows you to safely remove junk keys. Thanks to this, the registry will decrease in size, and the speed of access to it will increase, albeit slightly.
- Go to the “Registry” tab and click “Search for problems”.
- Upon completion of the analysis, if necessary, exclude suspicious entries from the list of deleted ones and click “Fix” in order to optimize the computer . Although you don’t have to do this, the developers made sure that their product does not cause damage to Windows.
- We save a backup copy of the deleted keys to the computer and perform cleaning by clicking on “Fix marked”.
Wise Disk Cleaner
A similar application with the function of performing disk defragmentation. Wise Disk Cleaner is as easy to use as CCleaner.
- We check the categories for scanning (they all expand and contain many items for more fine tuning scanner).
- Click "Search".
- Having received the cleaning results, click on “Cleaning” to remove debris.
- The computer got rid of several hundred unnecessary documents.
Unlike CCleaner, here you can exclude items from removal, such as browser passwords. You are required to check the boxes that need to be deleted and click the clean button.
Wise Registry Cleaner
Cleaning the registry is also an important criterion fast work Windows on any computer, so we’ll focus on the most popular tool for cleaning it. Although working with Registry Cleaner no more difficult than with previous products.
- Launch the program, click “Scan”, get acquainted with the results and remove the garbage.
Clean Master
The most popular scavenger for Android has been ported to a computer with an operating system from Microsoft. Although the program interface has not been translated into Russian, its operation does not raise any questions.
- We launch the application, after which it automatically scans the system.
- We look through the results, adding some applications to exceptions forever or for upcoming cleaning, and click “Clean now”.
Be careful and keep a close eye on the files you delete, despite high level security of the utility - it is still completely new and may inadvertently delete an important system or one needed for proper operation program file.
