Tutorial How to Delete Junk Files on Laptops and Computers

The tutorial on how to delete junk files on a laptop this time I deliberately discussed so that those of you who are currently having trouble removing the garbage piled up on your laptop can benefit from it. Although it sounds simple, the fact is that piles of junk files will affect laptop performance.

Maybe you often feel the laptop’s performance is slow so that the work you should have done on the laptop is neglected. When the laptop is slow, you don’t have to think too much about the cause, because it could be caused by piles of junk files.

Types of Garbage On Laptops & Computers

Please note that there are several types of garbage found on laptops and computers, namely:

Temporary Files
The existence of temporary file garbage due to uninstalled applications, but some files are still left in storage space.
Files in Recycle Bin
When you delete certain files on your laptop or computer, the files have not actually been deleted 100%, because they are still left in the recycle bin.
Cache Files
When opening a program or application on a laptop or computer, the cache file will be stored in the computer’s memory. Well, this file then becomes garbage.

The three types of files above become trash files and burden the laptop’s performance, so that the laptop becomes slow. To overcome this, the three types of garbage must be permanently cleaned from the laptop or computer.
