I got to thinking the other day, when I shared a program I use very frequently to clean my PC with my Facebook peeps…
My background is technical. My blog is about saving money. Yet, I have NEVER wrote a post ( that I can remember ) about ways to keep your PC tuned for FREE.
Imagine my horror.
So, I present to you: Clean your PC for FREE.
I use CCleaner to clean out my old files. It’s clean, free, and easy to use. The link to download the program is here ( download will start upon clicking ). You can alternatively navigate through the site on your own to get to the download link.
CCleaner will clean your browsing history, temp files AND fix errors in your registry. Take a peek at the options/settings to tweak them to your liking. I have most of the options checked as far as cleaning. I use the WIPE FREE DISK option once a month because it takes forever to run.
Windows comes with it’s own cleanup tools. If you don’t use them, you are slowly strangling your PC to death.
The first tool is found under START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS and is called DISK CLEANUP. It’s pretty self explanatory. Open it, run it, embrace it. 
The second tool is found under START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS and is called DISK DEFRAGMENTER. What this program does is take your wasted space ( fragments ) and move them around to create new space, simply put. Open it, run it ( windows will lwt you know if your drive needs to be defragged ), embrace it. 
That’s really all you need.
