From time to time, every PC user using Windows may encounter a situation where the system starts to crash, hang and create other problems. Of course, in this case, it seems that the best option is to reinstall it.
However, there is another way to solve this issue - you can clean the OS registry. I’ll make a reservation right away, cleaning the registry can be done in two ways, using programs such as Ccleaner or Advanced System Care, or manually.
The latter method requires certain skills and knowledge. In addition, it is used quite rarely, but sometimes, this option can help with their solution. This article will discuss exactly how to clean the registry on Windows 7 manually, on your own.
Before you start cleaning the registry, it is worth making a copy of the files that you cannot lose. After all, there is always the possibility that something could go wrong. Only after carrying out this manipulation, you can start cleaning the registry.
The next step is to find the registry itself. To get into it, you need to call the system window to search by holding down the "Win + R" keys at the same time.
In the window that appears, you need to type the word "regedit" in Latin letters, only without quotes and click on the "OK" button.
The Registry Editor will appear in front of you. It is in this system window that all the operations necessary for cleaning the registry will take place.
I’ll warn you right away that everything will be written in English in the “Registry Editor”, but this is not scary. A copy of the data in this system window is performed as follows:
- First you need to click on the file. It is located in the upper left corner.
- Choose "Export".
- Next, select "Entire registry" and save the data. This will come in handy in case something goes wrong and you need to restore the registry.
Then you can place the created copy on your PC desktop and download them to a USB flash drive or disk. I want to warn you that the folders will have names written in Latin. I think it's worth clarifying right away that individual folder elements will be displayed on the right, and folders on the left.
We clean the registry
After entering the registry and saving all the required data, it is worth starting with the removal of programs that have the status of "remote programs". This is a rather complicated procedure, since you will need to remember everything that was installed on the PC.
To start cleaning "remote programs", you need to click on the folder called "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". From the list that opens, select the line "Software".
You should see a large list of all the programs that have ever been installed on your PC. From the list, you need to select all the folders to be deleted, press the "Delete" key for this action.
This is how it is removed from the list of "remote programs".
You can also search for programs that need to be removed from the registry by their name. Hold down the keys on the keyboard "Ctrl + F" at the same time. In the window that appears, enter the name of the application and delete it.
The final stage
At the final stage, it is worth doing the OS startup list. To do this, you need to open a folder called "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE". Select the "SOFTWARE" folder from the list.
After that, find and open the lines "Microsoft", "Windows", "CurrentVersion" one after another. Next, go to the "Run" folder and delete all files.
After that, go to the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder and select "Software".
In it, one by one, open the “Microsoft”, “Windows”, “CurrentVersion” folders and, having reached “Run”, again delete all files from it.
After all the manipulations, you need to reboot the PC. Thus, there will be more space on the hard disk, which is also an important point for the normal operation of the computer.
How to clean the registry on Windows 7 manually, summary
As you can see, if you are interested in the question of how to clean the registry on Windows 7 manually, then this is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, it only takes a lot of time.
When working with the registry, you need to be careful and delete only those files that you really think are unnecessary. Also for these purposes, you can use special programs that can help save a lot of time or, if necessary, seek help from specialists.
In the computer, or rather in the directories of the Windows OS, in the process of use, "digital trash" is accumulated and stored - unpacked archives, logs, processed files, empty folders. All these elements without proper measures (cleaning) tend to give the C drive a solid volume as it accumulates, clog the PC's memory and slow down its work.
Perhaps you have already asked yourself a question, dear reader: “What does it have to do with clearing the cache in Yandex browser?”. Very even moreover! After all, all the elements (files) that it stores are also temporary and are also a source of "system garbage". That is, it needs to be cleaned periodically.
This article will tell you how to clear the cache in Yandex Browser using the standard option and using cleaner programs.
What is a cache and where is it located?
So, first, let's take a closer look at what we are dealing with. Cache is a special storage in the form of a separate folder located in the Yandex browser. It contains selective data of the web pages you have viewed (pictures, audio tracks, etc.). And they are stored in it so that, without downloading from the server, the browser can promptly provide them to you upon repeated request.
For example, you listened to an audio recording on a social network. You like it, and you press the PLAY button again, and the web browser provides you with a cached audio stream directly from the PC's memory and does not waste time re-downloading it from the site.
Thus, the cache allows you to reduce the load on the network (reduces the number of requests to the server) and increases the speed of loading web pages.
If you want to see (visually) where the Yandex.Browser cache is located, do the following:
1. Open drive C.
2. Go to the directory (to find it, open the specified folders in sequence):
Users → → AppData → Local → Yandex → YandexBrowser → User Data → Default → Cache
It is in the Cache folder that temporary saved data is stored that needs to be removed.
