Remove temporary files and folders that make my computer run slow
Every time you browse or download files, your computer stores temporary files. Even though
you don’t need to keep them, they collect over time and can slow you down. The File Cleanup
tool removes the clutter to make your computer run faster.

Optimize your boot volume
Optimization of your boot volume maximizes the usable free space by rearranging file fragments
into adjacent and contiguous clusters. When the drive head of your hard disk accesses all of
the file data in one location, the file is read into the memory faster.
