You can make improvements to your PC speed just by removing old redundant files from your computer's hard drives. Regardless of computer type, a PC can work faster for you when their hard drives contain a relatively small number of files that are saved, retrieved and stored inside the hard disk.

Any and all hard disk space freed as a result of the cleanup procedure can be returned to the available pool of free space. The act of defragmenting the drive is vastly improved when sufficient room is available for efficient file placement. Also without old private data overwritten it is much less likely that they are taken and abused by just anybody.

Many cleanup tools exist that approach the issue of drive cleaning from alternative points of view. Many of these fall into the computer porn category, some are commercial products and others are free. There is usually much is more that these applications can perform; many can also clean up orphaned data, check the drive for porn and remove it, find programs that are not properly licensed, and analyzed used and free space.
