How to make my computer run like new on Windows 10

When your storage drive becomes nearly full, Windows has less room to manage temporary files, run virtual memory, and perform essential background operations. Digital clutter accumulates from downloaded installers, temporary internet files, old Windows updates, and Recycle Bin contents, all of which contribute to slower performance.

Here are simple ways to let you make Windows 10 computer run like new. 

Option A: Disk Cleanup (thorough, one-time)

1. Type "Disk Cleanup" in the Start menu and run the tool.

2. Select your Windows drive (usually C:).

3. Click Clean up system files (this may take a moment).

4. Check all boxes that appear and click OK > Delete Files.

Option B: Storage Sense (automated, ongoing)

1. Go to Settings > System > Storage

2. Turn on Storage Sense

3. Click "Configure Storage Sense or run it now" to set a schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly.)

4. Storage Sense will automatically delete temporary files and manage Recycle Bin cleanup.

Additional step: Open Settings > Apps > Apps & features and uninstall programs you no longer use or need. Once it is done, the Windows 10 computer will run like new!
