Why I ditched PC cleaner apps and made my OS disposable?
Let's be honest: most free cleaning apps aren't really free. You pay with your data. I stopped trusting them over a decade ago. I found that the biggest hit to my computer's performance wasn't malware—it was Windows' own feature updates, which slowly turn the OS into spaghetti code.
My solution? A 30-minute refresh. I keep my operating system completely separate from my files. All my documents, downloads, and applications live on a second drive. When things get slow, I simply wipe the main drive and perform a clean Windows install. Using a tool like Rufus and a streamlined OS image, I'm back up and running in minutes. It’s the ultimate clean slate.
