Forget about buying one of those PC cleaning apps, here's how you do it all for free and it does just as good a job:

How to Actually Clean Your PC

Let’s say you want to clean your PC just like a PC cleaner would. Here’s what you can do:

  • Run the Disk Cleanup tool included with Windows. It’s focused on freeing up space on your hard drive, but it will also delete old temporary files and other useless things. Just tap the Windows key, type Disk Cleanup, and press Enter to launch it. You can even schedule a Disk Cleanup to clean your computer automatically.
  • Clear your browser history or — even better — set your browser to automatically clear its history when you close it if you don’t want to store a history.
  • Run the Disk Defragmenter included with Windows. This isn’t necessary if you use a solid-state drive.
  • Don’t bother with a registry cleaner. If you must, use the free CCleaner, which has the best-tested registry cleaner out there. It will also delete temporary files for other programs — CCleaner alone does much more than these PC cleaning apps do.

A test performed in 2011 by Windows Secrets found that the Disk Cleanup tool included with Windows was just as good as paid PC cleaning apps. Note that this is true even though PC cleaning apps fix “registry errors” while the Disk Cleanup app doesn’t, which shows just how unnecessary registry cleaners are.

So yes, it’s been tested — PC cleaning apps are worthless.


Speeding Up Your Computer

The best tools for speeding up your computer are things that a PC cleanup app won’t do for you:

  • Uninstall software you no longer use, especially programs that run at startup and browser plug-ins.
  • Disable unnecessary startup apps to improve Windows’ boot time.

If you regularly see errors on your computer:

  • Run an antivirus program and an antimalware program to scan your computer for malware-producing error messages.
  • Google error messages you see regularly to find fixes for them

Are really trying to discuss Windows 7?
Your quote is just a tad out of date considering there have been at least 4 OSes released since then

I think most of this info still applies to Windows 10

So, Iris. You admit that you are so full of it that you need a *CCleaner to clean you out! The only saving grace is that you are not using the Deluxe professional *CCleaner.

*The original name of CCleaner is Crap Cleaner.

Look I'm not a big tech expert and this one is working for me. Crap Cleaner or not who cares ? It's working well! That's all.

Don't get mad Iris. A half liter of yogurt each day for 4 or 5 days will clean you out as well.

I'm not mad Cat. Your post just bolster up my opinion. CCleaner is work for me but not for you. I got it. Yogurt is work for you ( otherwise you never recommended) but not work for me, since I don't eat or drink any dairy products. You can use the yogurt of course, but I don't think there is enough on the market to clean you out. Cheers!

Phil C,

They would need one of these to clean the crap out of you.

................you are still unemployed, right?

PC cleaning apps have been a scam since day one. People been buying those have made the likes of Kevin O'Leary rich.

What difference do SP's make in the life of a Eunuch? Copy and pasting Live Leak shit and bargains on toilet paper on an escort review board does not grow your balls back. Nor does saying snarky shit to a paid advertiser whose money gives your life a purpose (TERB).

Its better than Ubuntu?
"Install Gentoo" is a meme.
Gentoo is considered to be for advanced users.
You pretty much need to build everything manually, you have to set flags and compile packages from source so a lot of planning is needed to set it up or change the system.
Personally I don't see the appeal, but it does provide a good way of learning a lot about a linux system.

I personally use arch btw!
The arch wiki is probably the best resource out there: https://wiki.archlinux.org/
Even people using other distros rely on it, they just may be a few minor changes as package managers vary.
