By freeing disk space, you can improve the performance of your computer. The Disk Cleanup tool helps you free up space on your hard disk. The utility identifies files that you can safely delete, and then enables you to choose whether you want to delete some or all of the identified files.
Use Disk Cleanup to:
•
Remove temporary Internet files.
•
Remove downloaded program files (such as Microsoft ActiveX controls and Java applets).
•
Empty the Recycle Bin.
•
Remove Windows temporary files.
•
Remove optional Windows components that you don't use.
•
Remove installed programs that you no longer use.
Tip: Typically, temporary Internet files take the most amount of space because the browser caches each page you visit for faster access later.
