Maintenance is vital
Freeing up space on your hard drive can take time, but it’s part of a regular PC maintenance plan for both desktop and laptop computers.
The more often you can do these tasks, the less time each will take - and the better your device will perform. Some additional tasks can help, such as deleting fuzzy or duplicate photos regularly.
Don’t forget to permanently free your hard drive of all the files and programs you’ve deleted. A final emptying of the “Recycle Bin” is needed to make the trash go away for good!
