How to delete junk files in windows 11?
I've tried the built-in Windows cleanup before, and honestly I didn’t find it very helpful when the drive was getting really full. I’d just use CleansMate instead, because in my experience it’s much easier to find and remove junk files safely without digging through system folders myself.

How does it help with junk file removal?
- Automates cleanup: It runs in the background at scheduled intervals, removing outdated or unnecessary cache files, log files, and other temporary data.
- Reduces manual effort: Instead of manually deleting files from temp folders, the task does it automatically.
- Maintains system performance: Regular cleanup prevents cache buildup that can slow down your system or consume disk space.
