Since with the latest service packs the ability to delete old files for system patches was added to this program, in some cases it can be quite efficient to clean your computer from garbage.
It should be noted that this item still does not always appear. And the need to delete old update files is very great, since in especially "running" cases they can take up to a dozen gigabytes.To prevent such a volume of garbage from accumulating on your hard drive, you will have to use manual deletion. To do this, you need to find the folder located in the following path: C: \ Windows \ SoftwareDistribution \ Download. In it, you can select all the files there, and then click on the Delete button.

Unfortunately, this method is not very suitable for the complete removal of all junk files. The CCleaner program, which is very popular among experienced computer users, can do much better with this task.

At the bottom of the window, for beginners, it is necessary to check the item “Perform quick scan”. After that, click the Scan button, after which the application will detect all junk files. Next you can click on "Delete", and the program itself will be able to clean the computer from debris. It can do not so much for free (trial period limitation), but the cost of 150 rubles is not such a big obstacle for most users.Extremely useful is the “Duplicate Search” option. It is designed to find duplicate files, which often remain after the removal of some programs.
This happens especially often if you are fond of “repacks”, the authors of which rarely bother to create normal uninstall modules. The principle of operation of this utility is absolutely identical to that which we have already described above.

Firstly, in the settings of the same CCleaner, it is not worth indiscriminately checking all the items in the "Settings" section. The Windows item should be approached with particular care, since thoughtless deletion of all files with a high degree of probability may lead to the need to completely reinstall the system.Secondly, it is very important to make a copy of the registry before each cleaning procedure. Some programs are extremely "painful" to delete some registry entries. From this registration or settings can “fly off”.So you found out how to clean your computer from debris. You can choose any program. Fortunately, the choice in this area is huge today. But we would like to once again recall the need to observe reasonable caution, not to delete all objects indiscriminately.
If you do not understand the meaning of the settings of the application you are using, it is better to leave them in the “Default” position, otherwise you may well lose some important information, or even the entire operating system, in addition.
