What do you do to "clean" up your computer?

[supastar1568]

what are some good things i can do to sort of clean up the files on my computer.

For Example, i usually do a defragment every once and a while, i will also deleted my Windows/Prefetch files. Also, i often delete my internet cookies.

what else can i do? what do you guys do?

Try CCleaner, it'll help clear up some space that you might have not thought about.

diskcleanup, also found in the foler with defrag

CCleaner is excellent.

The best cleaner (in addition to other functions) I've found is Ace Utilities (30-day full-featured demo, $25 to purchase).

Both have been perfectly 'safe' in my experience.

Hope this helps!

The same old spyware/virus scans, defrags, etc. But I really like to reformat at least once every 3-4 months.

I use compressed air.

With CC Cleaner what is safe to delete ? ? It has a lot of choices and I don't want it to say inadvertently
remove say a reference to a prorgam uninstaller or possibly saved web site info

Does it have an Undo Featue ? ? probably not

Delete all!

The Delete key does wonders.
