How to clean Windows 10 from junk, old and unnecessary files, cache, etc. (so as not to slow down the PC)

Good time everyone!

Most often, an ordinary user is faced with the need to clean Windows from junk and unnecessary files in 2 cases:

  1. or when there is little space left on the system drive "C: \";
  2. or, the system began to slow down, and somehow in general "sluggish" to work.

Of course, there are always a lot of questions on this issue, and in this article I decided to give several of the most relevant ways to solve this problem ... 👌

By the way, if you use some third-party specials to clean the system. utilities - I highly recommend 👉 create a restore point (it will take 1 minute, but if something goes wrong, it will save you hours!).

And so, now closer to the topic ...

How to optimize Windows 10 (to improve computer performance)

Ways to clean and optimize the OS

Option 1: Windows 10 memory monitoring tools

In the modern Windows 10, a very visual tool has appeared for assessing the occupied disk space and cleaning the system disk from all sorts of garbage.

How to start it: go to OS options (combination Win + i), and open the section "System / memory" ... Then click on the link "Configure memory monitoring ..." . 👇

👉 Note!

If you do not have such a tool, just start updating Windows 10 to the latest version.

Windows 10 Settings - System - Memory - Cleanup

Next, you can set a memory control schedule, set the number of days to store files in the basket and folder "Loading" , and remove previous versions of Windows (if, of course, you have them ... 👀).

Configure memory monitoring

I cannot but mention the improved tool for deleting temporary files: now it allows you to do it in 1 minute. clean Windows from previous updates, cache, old and unnecessary files, etc. For example, my Windows has about 8 (13) GB of "garbage"! 👇

Remove 8 GB!

Option 2: special utilities for optimizing, cleaning and accelerating the OS

SystemCare

Despite the fact that the cleaning functions have been improved in Windows 10, it is still impossible to call them ideal ... Especially if we compare them with third-party products - for example, 👉 with Advanced SystemCare (link to official website).

It allows you to scan the system for garbage with one click of the mouse, but also to optimize the registry, check startup, set the optimal settings for your hardware and OS (for maximum performance). 👇

SystemCare - main window

Pay attention to the screenshot below 👇 how many errors, problems, and temporary files were found by SystemCare after running the regular Windows "cleaner". Fortunately, all this is easily corrected by pressing the 1st button ...

Gigabytes of unnecessary files and mountains of errors

By the way, if your Windows slows down, I recommend paying attention to the tab "Acceleration" ... In just a few steps (disabling some services, updating and optimizing drivers, uninstalling unused applications, etc.) you can get the most out of your system!

Dism ++

Official website: //www.chuyu.me/

In general, the Dism ++ application is intended for editing the Windows distribution (and, of course, it has a standard cleaning function - to make it perfect before packaging the system and without everything unnecessary ("like a factory")).

Of course, I warn you in advance that Dism ++ is a program that, if mishandled, can "spoil" your life ... Do not click or delete what you do not know.

How to clean the system: download and run the application, go to the section "cleaning" , press the button "analysis" , check all the checkboxes (arrow-3 👇) and press the button "cleaning" (in the lower right corner, see screenshot below).

DISM ++ - how to work with the program

After 1-2 minutes. your system will be cleared of everything you have marked.Note that Dism ++ copes with system optimization much better than many other "cleaners" (but in general, the application would only recommend it to experienced users).

Option 3: Universal Windows Tool

All modern versions of Windows (XP / 7/8/10) have a built-in disk cleaner. It is, of course, "archaic" and does not shine with efficiency, but I cannot but mention it ... (after all, it is already built into the OS)

To start it: you need to open "My Computer", right-click on the system disk with Windows and open it properties. 👇

Disk properties

In the tab "General" there will be a cherished button - Disk Cleanup ... 👇 By clicking on it, a small window will appear in which the cleaning program will show how much space it can free up, and will prompt you to indicate with checkmarks what you allow to be deleted.

Disk Cleanup is a built-in tool

The tool works quickly, reliably, but extremely ineffective ...
