Classification of Junk Files

No.1 The Scratch Files Made in the Software Installing Period
We all need to explode a lot of software to a temporary file first by using some pc tools such as the WinZip when we install it. If the design of the software is not so perfect, or the operating system has some problems, we will find that these scratch files are not temporary at all after installing the software. In this case, the so-called temporary files will become the wastes in the hardware, and usually we can recognize them by the suffix “*.tmp”.

We can also meet with some temporary swap files when the software is working. For example, we can meet with the duplicate files which have the suffix “*.old” and “*.bak” produced by some working processes.

Some utility software will have provided help or course files, or some spare text files and so many other files. A lot of text files is not only large and occupying a lot of space, but also slowing down the operating system and some graphics. What is more, the “system restore” files will occupy a lot of the disk space.

No.2 The Remained Files Produced by Software Unloading
Because most of the Windows software uses the DLL, and some software is not perfect, a lot of software will have some files after it is unloaded. The “dll” and the “hlp” files and other nameless stuff will become the true wastes in the computers.

No.3 The Scratch Files Made by the Internet Surfing
When we surf the Internet, the browser will download some page files to the computers. These files will not only occupy the precious disk space, but also let out your secrets to the public. In addition, the files will produce history marks, temporary cache files, cookie and other stuff which are totally useless wastes.

By knowing the kinds of junk files, we should take measures to get them out. In this case, we need the help of pc tools.

With the help of pc tools, we can do system optimization and many other things. Usually, we will scan the whole operating system first, and then find out all the wastes. Next, we can order the pc tools to clean up the wastes. At the same time, the pc tools can help us speed up the computers.

If you meet with big system problems, you can use the pc tools to do system optimizing. Within several minutes, you can own a faster and more effective computer.
