Windows Cleanup Reminder

Maintenance is critical part of making just about everything we care about function better and last longer, so doing it regularly makes good sense.

We know this for the most part, but some how, the thought of actually maintaining a computer seems to be a foreign concept.

Just like with your vehicle, running it until it breaks down is both inefficient and costly in both time and money.

With this in mind, I’m hoping to use today’s tip to get those that haven’t thought about it to do something pro-actively.

For those running the Windows operating system, there’s a simple to use to valuable tool called Disk Cleanup that you should become intimate with.

This tool will scan your hard drive to find all the junk that accumulates with regular usage that takes up unnecessary space and can impact your overall speeds.

You’ll need to be patient if you’ve never used this utility or it has been a while because it’s going to have more work to do.

We recommend that you create a routine around this tool, so that it’s done at least once a month if not more.

Once you’ve added this process to your schedule, it will go a long way to helping your computer run at its best.
