A clean PC is a fast PC
There is more to owning a computer than just sending and receiving emails, surfing the internet, and saving documents. With PC ownership comes the responsibility of maintaining the machine by regularly cleaning it inside and out. Neglecting this responsibility can result in the PC becoming slow and inefficient, and in the degradation of data or hardware, or both.
Periodically cleaning the hardware of your PC is important as it removes all the dust, hair, food and other particles that will have built up over time. These particles can easily clog up the fans, block up the hard drive, and generally choke up the entire computer eventually. The task of pulling your PC apart to clean it should always be done with care to ensure you do not do more harm than good. If you are unsure of how to do this properly, seek advice from a professional before attempting it.
Cleaning the data on your PC is not quite so delicate a task, but just as important as cleaning the hardware components. This task simply involves removing, transferring or compressing existing data in order to free up some space on the disk. You can do this manually, or you with the help of one or more of a variety of PC cleaner software programs available on the internet.
Cleaning up the hard drive of your PC should include things like uninstalling unused programs, emptying the recycle bin, removing old emails, cleaning the cache and internet history, and deleting obsolete and unwanted documents.
And for a cleaner PC in the long term, one of the best things about cleaning
programs available today is that many are capable of allowing you to automate your cleanup routine.
