For a PC cleaning software for Windows 10 that uses Command Prompt or similar tools:
Basic Command Prompt Techniques
Delete Temporary Files Manually:
Open Command Prompt as administrator.
Run:
del /q /f /s %TEMP%\*
This deletes temporary files in your user temp folder.
Similarly, clean system temp files:
del /q /f /s C:\Windows\Temp\*
Clear Prefetch Files:
del /q /f /s C:\Windows\Prefetch\*
(Note: Clearing prefetch files can slightly impact startup performance.)
Flush DNS Cache:
ipconfig /flushdns
(Optional for network-related cleanup.)
Using PowerShell for More Options
Another PC cleaning software for Windows 10. PowerShell can offer more advanced cleaning scripts, but it still won't replace dedicated cleaning tools.
