Junk off the Junk Files

Data is somewhat like a positive graph that keeps escalating upwards as your systems keep running. At some stage, you will require an extra storage for your enormous amount of data that you kept saying since the beginning. It is true because I myself have two separate Hard Drives to store my crucial system and media files. Better to start now or you’ll end like I did. Start with removing your duplicate files and then those which are no more in use. Junk files need to be removed regularly that usually reside in your Recycle Bin and Temporary files folder. You can further run a Disk Cleanup check up on your drives by clicking the Properties option in the context menu.

It is always to keep an eye on the sort of software that is no longer in use. Just like unused files deserve to be in the trash, unsupported applications or outdated versions need to be off of your system drives. You can do it in a few easy steps by jumping to the Control Panel and switch to the Programs icon. In the list of installed applications, look for the ones that are no longer need your attention and neither your device memory. Hit the uninstall button and do it right away. But be careful while doing so, because there are many system utilities and drivers that you would definitely need to keep your hands off. While uninstalling some programs, it may be possible for some files to remain on your computer. Just go to the folder named “Program Files” directory in the C-Drive and remove the files manually, named after the uninstalled applications.

Remove Programs From Launch

There are many processes that come into action whenever you turn your computer on. You can monitor the processes in the Windows Task Manager when you switch to the “Processes” tab. Kill the process that you think is not associated with your computer. Furthermore, do not download or access any suspicious malware online that is causing you more pains.  Avoid such websites and false friendly applications. This is how you can manage the startup applications from your end while stopping them to auto-load. In the start menu search bar, type “msconfig”. Press the Startup tab in the System Config window and uncheck the programs that you suspect are not relevant for your system while launching the operating System.

Finally, Mind your Desktop Files

In the rush of work and all, we always forget to check what’s resting on our Desktop screens. This is what I sometimes fail to notice. There are sometimes so many files that I get confused figuring which one to keep and which one to trash. Do mind this factor, try to keep your desktop clean and sorted as far as possible. This is the easiest task to do, after all, all it takes is your attention. Because, believe it or not, whenever I had loads of files and folders lying on my desktop, I used to copy them in a folder and pasted the folder in my personal drive. I still don’t know what types of files are there in it.
