Do not Let Junk Files Bother You

Have you noticed that the longer you have your computer, the slower it runs and the more it crashes? Have you realized that in the process of using your computer, you are accumulating more and more files? Are you in a situation where you know there are a lot of junk files in your computer but you have no idea what to do with them? Don't worry, this article will help you.

First, we should know how the junk files produce in your computer. One source of file clutter is from the Internet. When you surf the Internet, regardless of which Web browser you use, the browser establishes a cache. These are your "Temporary Internet Files “. Your browser creates a cache so that the Web pages you visit frequently will load faster. It does this by putting pages, graphics and other files in the cache. The more websites you search, the more these temporary files in your computer. They take space and become junk files if you do not log on certain website for a long time.

Another source of junk files is from the programs you install. Many programs don't really uninstall files and folders when you uninstall the program. Instead, often the files and folders are left on your machine.

All in all, there are junk files of all kinds, such as temporary files that applications should delete when they're no longer needed, various log files, index files, backup files etc. these junk files take up space and slow things down.

You can find there are many temporary files at the folders, C:/documents and settings/Administrator/Local settings/Temp and C:/documents and settings/Administrator/Local settings/Temporary Internet files (The folders might be different due to different Windows systems). They are generated by Windows and Internet Explorer. You can remove the files in the folder directly. Or you can do a disk cleanup or the defragmentation to delete and clean some junk files.

But there are still many files that generated by other programs like Micro Office, Media Player and so on. It's hard for you to find all the junks by yourself. I suggest you use a removal tool to remove the junk files.

There are many tools in the market for you to choose from. Most of these tools are easy to use and have powerful function. You can download one to remove and clean your junk files. You can have the program do the cleanup automatically, or you can do it manually. You'll be amazed at how much hard disk space this program can gain for you, so automatically got back plenty of hard disk space.
