First stage: standard

Few people know that Windows has a standard cleaning utility hard drives... To do this, open “my computer”, and on each of local drives to push right click mouse and select “properties”.

Find and click "clear".

And we agree with our decision.

The process will go through, after which quite a lot of space will be added to your disk. I am writing this article from a work computer, he is 2 weeks old, and over these two weeks, trash has accumulated for almost 6 GB.

Method two: by the program

A standard cleaner is only good for the system itself, so you need to clean the rest of the hard drive as well. For these purposes, I recommend the CCleaner program, here is its official site... There is nothing complicated to download for free. We open and see the program window in Russian.

1. We select the item "cleaning".
2. First, we do the analysis.
3. The entire list will be displayed unnecessary files, click delete.

At the first start, they will ask about a backup copy of the registry, we make it. We choose deep cleaning to get rid of all the jambs, which is good, everything is completely in Russian.

Go to the optimization section.

1. The section itself.
2. We mark the checkboxes, I put everything.
3. Click Optimize.
4. After the program runs, the words “optimized” will appear.

The last section is compression of the registry, a cool thing. We must first conduct an analysis. The computer will not respond for some time, do not be afraid.

Now click on compress. The registry will start compressing, I advise you not to do anything at this time.

After compression, a reboot will take place, this is mandatory. The second step was taken, the registry was optimized, the free Wise utility Registry Cleaner. For an alternative, I offer more programs, you can download it for free and without registration.

A month ago, my computer started to boot very slowly for about 35 minutes. I thought it was over hard disk, but nothing happened. The point was that system folder volume information stores backups restore points, and I had 253 GB of these points, and began to clean it. First you need to turn on visibility hidden folders...

The article shows how to clean your computer from garbage, namely: hard drive, registry, restore points and defragmentation. Keep only what you need on your computer. At the end of the video.

All the best!

Why Windows always works with different speed? The question is probably rhetorical ...

When you just install the system, it seems to "fly": it loads quickly, folders open immediately without delay, nothing freezes: everything works as it should. But a week or two, a month passes, and Windows seems to have changed: there are lags, freezes, tabs in the browser also slow down. What to do with all this?

This happens due to the fact that "garbage" begins to accumulate in the system: incorrect and erroneous entries in the registry, remaining temporary files, cache in the browser, empty folders, shortcuts leading to "nowhere", etc. All this creates a load on the OS, and because of this, performance decreases.

In this article, I want to give a few sensible programs for cleaning the Augean stables of Windows from garbage, so that the PC / laptop works faster (all programs are compatible with Windows 10 and support Russian 100%!).

How many people - so many opinions ...

But I believe that Advanced SystemCare is one of best programs to optimize and clean Windows from different kinds garbage (which I listed above in the article). Moreover, what is especially pleasing, the program is not replete with some complex tinctures, the developers have made it so that any user can easily and easily understand it, and quickly clean their PC.

So, at the first start, the program will automatically prompt you to check the status of your PC (see the example in the screenshot below). You just need to press one button - START.

Note: looking ahead, I will say that then SystemCare will monitor the state of your Windows, warn about potentially dangerous software, warn about changes start page in the browser, changing startup, etc. And besides that, remind you of the need for timely cleaning and optimization of Windows. In general, it will take full control behind the state of your system.

By the way, about 35 thousand problems were found on my laptop. Moreover, junk files are already 6 GB, which is quite significant ...

By the way, the program scans the system quite thoroughly, checks:

1. loading elements;
2. junk files;
3. errors of shortcuts, registry, disk;
4. malware;
5. internet problems;
6. performance problems etc.

To fix all these problems, it is enough, again, to press just one button - "Fix" (see the screen below).

Well, in addition to this review, I also want to add about the tab "Acceleration"... If, after cleaning your system, you are still unhappy with its responsiveness, SystemCare has a special acceleration tab that will make your system even more efficient.

In general, I recommend using it on an ongoing basis. Perhaps the only drawback is that the program is paid and to unlock all the options it will require a license purchase. But the devil paid version it will also very, very well clean your OS.

CCleaner

One of the most popular junk cleaning utilities in Windows. The utility quite "corrosively" checks your Windows for: temporary Internet files, files in the recycle bin, old and unnecessary files from Firefox, Opera, Media Player, eMule, Kazaa and other applications. Moreover, all this garbage will be found quickly and removed just as quickly. By the way, I want to note that the utility only removes really garbage, for required files don't worry - when using it for over 10 years, I have never encountered it messing up Windows (or any program).

To start the analysis of the system - just open the section "Cleaning" and then press the button "Analysis"... Within a few minutes the program will estimate how much garbage it can remove, and you just have to confirm it ...

CCleaner, by the way, leads a rather voluminous work with the registry: erroneous entries will be deleted, various "tails" from remote programs, various temporary events, etc. The screenshot below shows the "Registry" tab, which shows what the program will work with.

Additionally, CCleaner has some pretty useful features:

1. uninstall programs: firstly, with the help of this tab you can even uninstall those programs that are not uninstalled in the usual way; secondly, this uninstaller removes applications cleaner than the one built into Windows;
2. autoload: will help you to be aware of what is being loaded instead of from your Windows (some of the software can be disabled for more fast loading OS);
3. duplicate search: find and delete duplicate identical files on disk (collections of music, pictures, photos, etc.);
4. system recovery (no comments);
5. disk analysis: helps you find folders and files that take up a lot of space on the HDD.

In general, the program is rightfully considered one of the best for cleaning the system from unnecessary "junk". I recommend to use!

Wise Disk Cleaner

This program is the best in terms of cleaning your hard disk (and, I emphasize, in terms of cleaning!). It will remove as much garbage as no other similar utility!

The interface of the utility is insanely simple, at the top of the window there are several tabs: quick cleaning, deep cleaning, system cleaning, defragmentation. The user only needs to press one button - "Scan" (the program already contains all the necessary presets for optimal cleaning of the OS).

Wise Disk Cleaner - disk analysis, trash search

Compared to CCleaner and SystemCare (which found about 6-7 GB of junk) - Wise Disk Cleaner found almost 15 GB of junk files! There is something to compare!

The utility also has the ability to delete some files in Windows: downloaded OS files (for example, update files), installer cache, help files, etc. For this, the program has a special. tab "System Cleanup" (screenshot below).

And one more thing - Wise Disk Cleaner can defragment your hard drive, which will have an even better effect on system performance. By the way, it is recommended to do defragmentation after complete cleaning systems.

If you need good cleaner disk - then better program can not found. In functionality, of course, the program loses to such analogs as SystemCare or CCleaner.

Unlike other programs presented in this review, Reg Organizer is a more multifunctional package of utilities in one bottle! Contains everything you need to optimize the OS, its fine tuning and cleaning.

After starting the program, Reg Organizer will carry out an express check of your system to identify problems: with the registry, with unnecessary files on the disk, with Windows autostart, will analyze your Internet connection (is it possible to speed it up), etc. In general, despite the initial positioning of the program on experienced user, now, modern version package - even a complete beginner can use.

Reg Organizer: main program window // express system check

The main functions of the Reg Organizer package:

1. the function of cleaning the disk from debris (including old Windows versions, updates, help, etc.);
2. cleaning and optimization of the registry;
3. defragmentation and compression of the registry;
4. registry editor;
5. a function for removing programs (which will check if there are any "traces" left of the program to be removed in the system - and will remove them if they are found);
6. autorun optimization function: checks if there is anything unnecessary in autorun, which makes your PC turn on much longer;
7. fine-tuning the system (such utilities are also called tweakers). Before using them, I recommend doing copy of Windows(so that if something happens - it can be).

By the way, I want to highlight separately in this review disk cleaning function (note: because the key message of this article): the program will check old driver files, temporary folders in Windows, program crash and error reports, explorer thumbnails, error reports, etc. In general, the amount of garbage removed is comparable to Wise program Disk Cleaner (which I dubbed the best cleaning quality!).

JetClean

Despite the too "simple" appearance and design of this utility, JetClean is enough powerful program to remove various "garbage" from Windows: erroneous entries in the system registry, "tails" from programs, history in browsers, etc.

Also, I would like to note that many other similar utilities of its kind are paid programs (or, according to at least, ask for payment for all functionality), JetClean is free!

Key features of JetClean:

1. cleaning windows from debris;
2. cleaning the registry;
3. cleaning applications and shortcuts;
4. cleaning RAM;
5. reducing the number of system crashes, errors, freezes, etc.;
6. optimization of OS startup;
7. internet accelerator;
8. as a consequence of the previous steps - increasing the performance of the PC as a whole.

By the way, JetClean has tools for "fine-tuning" the utility itself, for example, to perform auto-cleaning (and forget about manual verification and a separate instruction). Thus, once you configure the utility, you can completely forget about cleaning Windows and always work in a "fresh" fast OS!

In general, JetClean deserves a fairly high rating and recommendation for use. By the way, the program supports Russian in in full, 100% compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10.

The report is over, thank you for your attention.

What, by the way, do you clean the Augean stables of Windows?

Cleaning Windows 10 of temporary files or other junk is an activity that users get used to when using the operating system XP and other earlier versions of the OS. If you believe the words of the developers of this program, then everything is completely different here.

In their opinion, you should not trust your computer and registry to questionable programs.

If this folder you do not need it, then boldly put a tick in front of it, and you will free up space immediately in the amount of 3-15 GB, depending on how much your previous OS weighed.
