After regular updates or transition to Windows 10, or simply over time, the computer inevitably begins to slow down or move. It’s time to clean Windows 10. It would be nice if there was such a button “Clean Windows in one click” somewhere in the system. Press it and the instantly system works again like watch, and gigabytes of trash user files and system files magically disappeared. But unfortunately, there is no such button. And in order to clear Windows 10, you need to perform a series of manipulations, which we will talk about in detail.
Windows 10 Disk Cleaning
Let’s start with the main, perhaps, cleaning function Windows 10. Many users know how to open the properties of a local disk, see its volume, busy and free space. But not many go further and delete the garbage files and optimize the system through this section. But now more details:

Important: after cleaning the disk from unnecessary system files, especially previous installations Windovs, roll back updates no longer will work out.
Desk and basket
A desktop is a folder stored on a system disk. And when storing large volumes of multimedia, audio and video files in this folder, the useful space on the hard drive is reduced, leading to different types of brakes and hangs. A local disk for normal operation requires at least 15 % free space from the total volume. Otherwise, there will be no room for unzipping and installing new updates. And there is no room left for swap file, which is also stored on CD C: Try not to clutter the folders “Corn”, “Worktable”, “Documents”, “Images”, “Music” and “Downloading”.
Temp folder
Windows System Folder has such an inconspicuous folder Temp. It also needs to be cleaned sometimes. With long-term computer operation, when various applications, games, updates are often installed and deleted, the volume of temporary garbage is growing rapidly. Sometimes grown to an impressive size of 10 GB or more. We go into this folder, select all the contents with a key combination Ctrl + A and press Delete. You can’t touch the folder itself, it’s an important system folder, but its contents can and even need to be deleted.
Auto Download
Many applications and programs after installation are loaded together with the system, often their background work only interferes, loading the system with unnecessary processes, eating back space in the computer’s RAM. These programs are automatically prescribed for computer downloads without special user permission. To reduce the load on the system, many programs from the startup can be removed, their autorun with Windows can be excluded. We do not delete these programs, we simply turn them off so that they do not work in the background all the time.
- Launch Task manager combination Ctrl + Shift + Esc (carloading to Windows 10 is now here), and go to the tab “Auto Download.
- We turn off all unnecessary utilities and programs.
CCleaner

Applications
Initially, there are a lot of programs in the Windows 10 system that are not used. In addition, we ourselves download different programs for once, they remain in the system only in vain, occupying a useful space.
- In the menu “All parameters“-“Applications“-“Applications and opportunities»You can remove most of the unused programs. We start all computer parameters with a key combination Win +I, or click on the icon “Notification Center», where in the quick access menu we open the system parameters.
