Laptop Disk Clean Up
Even the best laptops and computers can slow down after a while. It’s not anything you might have done, it’s just something that happens from the different programs or other things that you may have downloaded from the internet. Not to worry though, with a few easy step, you can clean up your system to run much better than it is now.
1. Free up disk space
You may not realize it it, but many little files and other things are saved in different areas of your hard drive that you can easily remove by running Disk Clean up. This tools will help you free up space on your hard drive. The program identifies all the files that you can safely delete, along with you having the choice to delete any or all of the identified files.
Use Disk Cleanup to:
Remove temporary Internet files.
Remove Windows temporary files.
Remove downloaded program files that you no longer use
Remove optional Windows components that you don’t use.
2. Defragment the hard Drive
When files are stored in you hard drive, it causes your system to take longer to gather the information since your computer will typically fragment them. When you use the utility, it consolidates fragmented files and folders on your computer’s hard disk so that each occupies a single space on the disk. The computer will have an easier time located and reading the files. I typically run this program once a month.
3. Detect and repair disk errors
After running the two utilities, to optimize your computer or laptop’s performance, check the integrity of you files by running the Error Checking utility. Over time the computer can and will develop bad sectors, causing the slow down of the hard drive as well as making data writing (file saving) difficult, if not impossible. The utility will scan the drive for any bad sectors and searches for any files or folders are misplaced.
Taking these few steps can save you a world of grief. If you’re like me and you use your computer or laptop on a daily basis, you should run these utilities once a month, especially if you own one of the very cheap laptops that are being sold online.
