Help me clean up my laptop

[DeeTurbo]

HWHAT?

I didnt unsterstand a word of any of that? lol, All i know about laptops/ computers is forum/ebay/photoshop so if some one could talk me through the easiest way would be great.

Even just to clean it up a bit rather than wiping as that sounds hard lol

I've done a little guide for you.

So once you've downloaded CCleaner from that link and installed it just do the following.

First uninstall the programs you don't use and the ones that you might of installed that were free trials.



So go to control panel and select "Programs and features"



Uninstall a program at a time. So right click on the program you want to get rid off and select uninstall and then follow the short wizard.

Once you've got rid of the programs you don't need start CCleaner.



Click Analyze



Once analysed it will give you a list of things it'll be deleting. Have a quick look at this list to make sure you're happy with the bits to be deleted. Then click run cleaner.



When that's done click on the Registry tab, click Scan for issues, once scanned click Fix Selected Issues. It will then prompt you to save a back up of registry, do this.



Click Fix Selected Issues and then click scan for issues again because there is always some that need a second try to fix.

Now that's the CCleaner bit done.

I usually now do a full defrag. To do this go to start button, select Computer, right click on the the local drive. Click on Properties from the menu, Tools from the tab and then fragmentation now. Select the main drive and defragment disk. This might take a few hours.

That's it, good luck.
