Too much digital junk on your hard drive? If this is the case, then your hard drive is on overload and working overtime. As a result, your computer is more likely to crash and go into the "computer cemetery."
If you want to limit the amount of unwanted files on your hard drive to free up disk space and assist your computer to run more efficiently, then Disk Cleanup is your answer. It gets rid of temporary files, empties the Recycle Bin and removes various system files and other items that you no longer want. However, in order to clean out your hard drive, it should be connected with your user account, at least on Windows 7.
The following are four (4) steps on how to clean up the hard drive on your disk:
1. Open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Disk Cleanup. In the results list, click Disk Cleanup.
2. In the Drives list, choose the hard disk drive that you want to clean up. Click OK.
3. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, on the Disk Cleanup tab, select the check boxes for the file types that you desire to delete. Click OK.
4. In the message that is displayed, click the Delete Files.
If you follow these baby steps in terms of cleaning up your hard drive, then you are on your way to having a more efficient and faster running computer and hard drive.
