How To Do Disk Cleanup in Windows XP

Sluggishness or slowing down of your computer could be related to your hard disk drive.To have it running smoothly again, we can free up space since it can identify and safely delete files you no longer need. If you're still a Windows XP user, you may want to try these steps:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tool >  Disk Cleanup. If you have several drives or partitions, you may be prompted to specify which drive you want to clean.

2.  In the Disk Cleanup for dialog box, scroll through the list of the Files to delete.

  

                                         

3. Clear the check boxes for files that you don't want to delete, and then click OK.

4. When prompted to confirm if you want to delete the specified files, click Yes.

Go through the process and after a few minutes, it completes the cycle and the Disk Cleanup dialog box closes.  Now your computer is cleaner and should be performing better.
