Hard disks are providing ever increasing storage capacities, and a number of applications take advantage of this by saving a large number of temporary and cached files. Over time these files can consume a lot of space, and a disk cleanup is required to remove them. There are a number of disk cleanup applications available including the aptly named Disk Cleanup (which is supplied with Windows), along with some popular freeware applications like CClean.
This guide shows you how to maximize the performance of your Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 PC using these disk cleanup applications.
