"If your computer desktop looks a little chaotic and you're noticing some performance slowdown, it might be time to do a cleanup. The best way to keep things running smoothly is to ensure you're running the most updated version of Windows (you'd be surprised how many folks' devices are several updates behind). But if you're up-to-date, there are other things you can do to optimize."
"Windows has a few helpful utilities that can free up some space (and they're already on your PC). These utilities aren't intended for large-scale repairs, but can help make things run faster by cutting excess weight. Regular computer usage results in stored cache files that can become corrupted and outdated, leading to operational quirks and slower boot times. Clearing this cache and other temporary files can improve performance and keep things running optimally. Here's how."
Run Windows Update to ensure the system uses the latest patches and performance improvements. Use Settings > System > Storage > Cleanup recommendations to locate temporary files, the Downloads folder, the Recycle Bin, large and unused files, and rarely used apps. Remove unneeded files and review large media before deletion to avoid losing important data. Clear cached and temporary files to fix corrupted or outdated entries that cause slow boots and operational quirks. Built-in utilities are intended for light optimization rather than major repairs but can free multiple gigabytes and improve responsiveness.
