[@GenXTech]

You're welcome!

[@MsDrawlinson]

Really helped with the speed of my laptop. Thank you for clear directions and print screenshots. You are a very good teacher!!!

[@GenXTech]

Thank you for the kind words on top of the support to my channel! I'm glad I was able to help. Hope you have a great day!

[@MsDrawlinson]

My praise of you is well deserved. Happy Dad's day to you! Thanks again, Deborah

[@SouthernUtahGuy]

Your video is my go-to! It's so well worded and paced to follow with ease so thank you! Helps a lot after a few windows updates and I start to notice my pc slowing up. Afterwards it's like running a new pc. And completely safe! No additional unnecessary jargon like other videos.

[@GenXTech]

I appreciate the kind words. Glad I'm able to help! :)

[@furkatergeshev8699]

That men's explanation is amazing. Simple. And it works. Thanx.

[@GenXTech]

Youre welcome :)

[@Juutify]

NOTICE! You should never optimize ssd because its always fast and optimized. if you you use windows own defrag tool it can make your ssd really slow. just wanted to point that out. thank you :)

[@gxthblxde]

Damnnn I’ve been doing this for years on my ssd😭

[@dhruvsingh992]

I just did that before seeing this comment

[@OM3N.Reyes1]

Well what if you already did lol

[@Guest1-q8v]

@@OM3N.Reyes1 it won't do it any harm doing it the odd time

[@_PhamTuanCuong]

So basically do everything else in this video minus the optimize and defrag part?

[@markp.8329]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! My pc has been dragging @ss for more than a minute now. Tried everything -- running virus software, antispyware, cleaning my hard drive, defrag, etc., etc. Your 3 minute video -- particularly deleting the prefetch stuff -- has got my pc back to running laps again!

[@GenXTech]

Awesome!

[@AlbrechtAshtor]

damn, really thank you! I delete a few files, apps and clean from settings, it went from 149 to 189 GB. After your video, the file went from 199GB to 138GB. Thanks!

[@anarchyripper2251]

If you have an SSD doesn't De fragmenting the drive decrease the Life of the SSD since it rewrites to the drive? I have always avoided it because I heard that was a thing so but I am not sure if thats true or not... Even without Defragging your tips freed up about 16gigs of space so thank you!!

[@GenXTech]

You dont have to defrag ssd (its not mentioned) and the longevity theory hasnt been proven. Im glad I was able to help :)

You can always buy an external harddrive to store games, music, movies, etc. to save space

windows 10?

@@GenXTech yep, but I restarted the computer and it worked, but I only cleared a couple of gb. I only have 4.99 free of 118 on my C drive. My programs aren't taking up the space. I am confused. I want to download a program but won't install on C not enough space, (it is 4 gb) but it won't let me install on my D or E drive.

[@GenXTech]

@@dlsdelessemusic 118 GB is REALLY small now a days. I recommend getting an external hard drive.. at least 1TB.

[@dlsdelessemusic]

@@GenXTech thanks I have 2T once is D drive almost full a hundred and some gigs free E drive I have about 900 free and several external. It's just everything wants to install on C drive. That is a problem.
