One way is to run the 'Disk Clean up' utility on you computer. (which is if you are running a Windows OS is under Programs/Accessories/System tools) That program will scan your harddrive and bring up a list of areas of where you have files that are no longer needed.(example: Temporary Internet files) You just check the boxes of the areas you want the program to clean out and hit ok.
It would also be a good idea to go through your files and delete any you no longer use(like Word files, pic files, etc). Recently I went through all my pic files and deleted all the duplicates I had...got 18 more MB out of that.... Uninstalling programs you no longer use will help to. (be sure to uninstall them correctlyl...otherwise you can seriously f*ck up your computer) For 'better' or 'faster' memory...friad the only way is to add more RAM to it and/or get a faster processor. That costs moola and the knowhow to install them. Edit: forgot something. After you wipe out all the files you no longer need...running the 'Defragmentor' utility will help. It's located in the same area as the 'Disk Clean up'. |
My computer got way, oh so slow just a cupple of many weeks ago. I tried unisnstalling stuff. Just gave me space but not spead. I even tried a Diskfrag. Dident work. (got to 13%, but hung up sence i "acsedently" removed a quite important dll file.) I just reinstalled my compute. Now its running like a angel. Just remember to do backups of EVERYTHING you want to ceep. You might think, naa, I hardly use this anymore. THen after the reinstall. "Doh! I really need that now!!"
