Probably, all PC users noticed that after prolonged use of the computer, the system begins to slow down and freeze. The thing is that during installation and uninstallation, all programs leave some files in the system, most often just garbage that accumulates over time. Accordingly, the more and more often install and uninstall programs, the faster the system will be littered.
The easiest way to solve such programs is to reinstall Windows, however, it is clear that this method is suitable only for those users on whose personal computers there are no important files or these files are duplicated to external media. For those who work at the computer constantly and use it not only as a gaming gadget, such a disk cleaning is not suitable.
Of course, for those who do not install and uninstall programs constantly, reinstalling the system may not be necessary for a long time, since computer pollution takes much longer. However, “garbage” and unnecessary files can still accumulate, while reinstalling the Windows operating system threatens to remove most programs that will later need to be restored and reinstalled.
That is why a personal computer needs to clean the disk from time to time, and this is not only about the timely removal of unnecessary files. Otherwise, the hard drive memory will end, and the system will issue a warning about this. And this, in turn, can lead to various problems, including malfunctions in the operation of a personal computer.

These programs can be divided into two types: the former are already built into the Windows system, and the latter should be installed separately. However, users should be aware that programs that are not built into the system can sometimes not help but harm, especially for novice users. If you are not sure that you know the system thoroughly, you should not blindly delete everything that the program offers, otherwise reinstalling Windows may still come in handy if such a program removes something vital for the operation of your personal computer.
While the program for cleaning the hard drive built into Windows, although it works by default, is slower and by no means all the “garbage” removes it, however, it cleans the disk carefully and certainly cannot do much harm. Therefore, with such a program, cleaning the disk will be the safest.
The main purpose of this program is to delete files from the Trash folder, as well as temporary files from the Internet, which significantly slow down the computer. In addition, it frees up space on your hard drive by removing unnecessary Windows components and those programs that have not been used for a long time.
