how should I clean windows then? My goal is to make the performance of windows great always.Windows has a tool that takes care of most of this:
If you want it to clean up Windows update files or other system files that are no longer needed, click on the "Clean up system files" button.
- Open up Explorer
- Go to "This PC" if it isn't there already
- Right click on C:\
- Click on "Properties"
- In the "General" tab, click on "Disk Cleanup"
- Select the categories of files you want to remove (Windows selects a bunch for you by default)
- Press OK
There's also no reason to delete or remove certain files like prefetch. In fact, deleting prefetch regularly can be harmful to system performance. But if you don't want it to prefetch, disable the Superfetch service.
Cleaning up certain other things like the registry also aren't very useful. You can do it if you really want, but it doesn't do much to clean up space or improve performance.
