Often, most of the materials collected there are not at all required to work for you or your PC. Go to the tab "Registry". Mark the type of files that you need to find the program, and then, as in the previous step, start the scan. As a result, a list of problems will appear on the screen, as well as a section of the registry in which they were found. Click "Fix" and you can quickly and efficiently clean your computer.
Step 4: Find duplicates
The garbage also includes duplicate files. They can be scattered here and there across the memory of your computer, and also to coexist with each other in one folder, differing only in name. Go to the "Accelerator" in the menu "Instruments" and click on the function. Label which folders should be scanned for the presence of clone files and other criteria. After that, a list of duplicates and information about their location will appear on the screen. Just do not forget about not relevant programsoh.

2. Clean disk from temporary and unused files using
Standard tool "Disk Cleanup"
- 1. Go to the "Start" -\u003e "All Programs" -\u003e "Standard" -\u003e "Service" and run the program "Clean Disk".
- 2. Select the disk to be cleaned:
The process of scanning the disk starts ...
- 3. A window with information about the amount of space occupied by temporary files will open:
Check the boxes opposite the partitions you want to clear and click OK.
- 4. But that's not all. If you installed Windows 7 not on a blank disc, but on top of a previously installed operating system, you probably have such large folders as Windows.old or $ WINDOWS. ~ Q. In addition, it may make sense to delete the system restore control points (except the last). To perform this operation, repeat steps 1-3, but this time click "Clear system files»:
- 5. After the procedure described in step 2, the same window will open, but the "Advanced" tab will appear at the top. Go to it.
In the System Restore and Shadow Copies section, click Clear.
3. Files pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys
Files are located in the root the system disk and take up quite a bit of space.
- 1. The file pagefile.sys is a system swap file (virtual memory). It can not be deleted (it is also not recommended to reduce it), but it can and even needs to be moved to another disk. This is very simple, open the "Control PanelSystem and SecuritySystem", select " Extra options in the "Performance" section, click "Options", switch to the "Advanced" tab (or press the win + R key to open the command and then type SystemPropertiesAdvanced) and in the "Virtual memory" section click "Change". There you can select the location of the swap file and its size (I recommend leaving the "Size at the choice of the system").
- 2. The file hiberfil.sys is the image random access memory for sleep mode (hypernation mode).
4. Remove unnecessary programs from the disk
A good way to free up disk space (and as an added bonus to increase system performance) is to remove unused programs.
Go to the control panel and select "Remove Programs." A list appears in which you can select the program that you want to delete and click "Delete".
5. Defragmentation
Defragmentation hard drive, carried out by the program-defragmenter, allows you to organize the contents of clusters, that is, move them on the disk so that the clusters with the same file are placed sequentially, and the empty clusters were merged. This leads to an increase in the speed of access to files, and therefore to a certain increase in the speed of the computer, which at a high level of fragmentation of the disk can be quite noticeable.
The standard disk defragmentation program is along the path:
start\u003e all programs\u003e standard\u003e service\u003e disk defragmentation
Do a disk analysis before defragmenting. After the analysis, a dialog box with a diagram of the percentage of fragmented files and folders in the disk and a recommendation for action is displayed. The analysis is recommended to be carried out regularly, and defragmentation only after the corresponding recommendation of the disk defragmentation program. Disk analysis is recommended to be performed at least once a week.
If the need for defragmentation is rare, the interval for performing disk analysis can be increased to one month.
After adding a large number of files or folders, the disks can become excessively fragmented, so in such cases it is recommended that they be analyzed.
For a complete and correct defragmentation using the Disk Defragmenter program, the disk must have at least 15% of free space. The program "Disk Defragmenter" uses this volume as an area for sorting fragments of files. If the volume is less than 15% of the free space, the program "Disk Defragmenter" will perform only a partial defragmentation. To free up additional disk space, delete unnecessary files or move them to another disk.
Defragment the disks after installing the software or after performing the update or clean installation Windows. After the software is installed, the disks are often fragmented, so executing the Disk Defragmenter helps to ensure the highest performance of the file system.
You can save some time required for defragmentation if you delete garbage files from the computer before starting the operation, and also exclude the system files pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys that are used by the system as temporary, buffer files and are recreated at the beginning of each Windows session .
The computer in the course of operation has the property to be littered with unnecessary folders and files, records in the registry. And, of course, all this "digital junk" must necessarily be disposed of - periodically clean up the computer, so to speak, at the program level.
From this article, you will learn how to clean your computer of garbage windows tools and through special programs.
