Can anyone suggest a good pc cleaning software for windows 10?
You can clean up Windows 10 without PC cleaning software as you are using the operating system's built-in tools designed specifically for its own architecture.
1. The "Ultimate" Cleanup: Storage Sense
This is the modern replacement for Disk Cleanup. It identifies junk files, old updates, and system logs that are safe to delete.
How to do it: Go to Settings > System > Storage.
Action: Click on Temporary files. Windows will scan your drive. Check everything except your "Downloads" folder (unless you want that cleared too), then click Remove files.
Pro Tip: Toggle the Storage Sense switch to "On" at the top of that menu to let Windows do this automatically in the future.
2. Deep System Cleanup (Legacy Tool)
The classic Disk Cleanup tool still has one "superpower": it can remove gigabytes of old Windows Update files that newer menus sometimes miss.
How to do it: Type "Disk Cleanup" in your Start menu search.
Action: When it opens, click the button that says "Clean up system files".
The Big Win: Look for "Windows Update Cleanup" or "Previous Windows installations." These can often be 5GB to 20GB in size. Check them and click OK.
3. Remove "Bloatware" and Unused Apps
Windows 10 often comes with pre-installed games or apps you never use.
How to do it: Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
Action: Sort the list by Size. Scroll through and uninstall anything you haven't used in the last 6 months.
By following the tips above, you can speed up the computer without Windows 10 PC cleaner software. Let me know if you need more assistance!
