Delete junk files: Here's how
Junk files take up unnecessary storage space and slow down your PC. You can delete the data garbage with small but clever tools. We explain here exactly how this works.
With the CCleaner against junk data garbage
One of the best programs in terms of "system optimization" is the free "CCleaner":
- Install the CCleaner and then open the tool.
- If you dare to do a major data erasure, you should create a backup with the CCleaner beforehand.
- Then click “Analyze” to search your system for junk files.
- Before you delete a file, you can still look at it or remove all the data found. A click on the “Start CCleaner” button is sufficient.
More tools against junk files
