Disk Cleanup helps free up space on your hard disk, creating improved
system performance.
Disk Cleanup searches your disk and then shows you temporary files,
Internet cache files, and unnecessary program files that you can safely
delete. You can direct Disk Cleanup to delete some or all of those files. This
tool guides you through a series of tasks and systematic procedures to help
you get back to work quickly.

Properties.

space to free up. Wait.

Click "Delete Files" to start the clean-up. Wait for the Disk Cleanup to finish.

any you do not want removed. Click OK.
DISK DEFRAGMENT

Defragmentation is the process of consolidating fragmented files on


the user's hard drive. Files become fragmented when data is written to
disk, and there is not enough contiguous space to hold the complete
file. Storage algorithms break the data apart so that it will fit into the
available space.

The process of defragmentation moves the data blocks on the hard


drive around to bring all the parts of a file together. Defragmentation
reduces file system fragmentation, increasing the efficiency of data
retrieval and thereby improving the overall performance of the
computer. At the same time, it cleans the storage and provides
additional storage capacity.

Defragmentation is the opposite of fragmentation, which is an


inefficient use of computer storage
