Remove Unnecessary Files in Windows
As mentioned previously, removing files by systematically deleting them in your computer is NOT a good idea. There are however, a few areas in your computer that you CAN delete files from without any problems at all. These folders are called "Temporary Folders" or a "Temporary Cache".
The best free Software for cleaning out temporary files in Windows
Windows has a couple of temporary folders built into it; however, many software programs also create their own temporary folders. Because of this, it is recommended that you use a program that is frequently updated to make sure you are removing all your temp files from you computer.
The software I recommend is CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/). This program is free and is updated frequently to know where certain programs write temporary files to.
CCleaner also allows you to customize if you would like it to clean any other folders that are not already supported. It’s as easy and clicking "add folder to clean", and selecting the folder you want cleaned.
Another free program you can use to delete temporary folders is a program called Empty Temp Folders (http://danish-shareware.dk/soft/emptemp/). This program does NOT update and does NOT know what folders to clean automatically, but rather, is designed to allow you to customize what folders it cleans.
