Glad to have helped, really appreciate the feedback and kind words :)

[@fragalot]

what the heck is an i3 AMD 3770? AMD doesn't use the "i3, i5, i7" monikers; that's intel. Also there is no i3 3770, nor an AMD 3770 that's an intel i7 3770, an ivy bridge CPU that isn't really low end. Sure it's 8 years old but a 4c/8t cpu at nearly 4GHZ is still very good for gaming PCs. All you need is a good GPU to go with it. Which you didn't seem to mention what video card (GPU) you have, unless that's the AMD part (there are no amd GPUs with 3770 model name)

[@salmonstuff4146]

[@12fishcake]

Did not realise how much temp files had accumulated after uninstalling a bunch of games and still having about 40% of my SSD full. I have a large HDD for general use and less demanding games and a comparatively tiny SSD which is only 250 gig so the space is treated as prime real estate for games that really demand that extra boost and the OS itself. This freed up nearly 50 gig which is bout 20% of my SSD. Great stuff!

[@IronnGiantt]

You're that cool teacher who talks WAYY to fast. I swear I paused and rewinded so many times. Worth it thanks mate!

[@Avean]

You clear browsing data and at the same time you say it will make your browser faster. Thats kinda the opposite. Cache is there to speed up browsing so you can re-use files without downloading them over and over again. Same with for Windows searches and even Spotify. Clearing out the Data folder will results in songs not starting fast anymore if you are struggling with slow internet speeds.

[@Panjno]

This is also right and wrong, Yes you could experience a minor slowdown when loading a new web page for the first time, at the end of the video it recommends you to load your usual sites, games and files. Leaving you with new cache for the sites, file ect you actually use and removes all old excess which can be slowing down your PC and cluttering it, in many cases causing more slow-downs than having no cache in the first place. I appreciate the comment and see where you point is coming from, but as a guide to speed up your PC in the longrun, this is best.

[@ThatBritishGuy]

@@Panjno on a mechanical drive YES this could slow you down cause it's wasted space but an SSD it's flash storage and cache is stored on the OS drive so this would probably make no difference AT ALL, if it did im sure you'd show benchmark comparisons xD some of your guides are useful yes but a fair amount do nothing including this one which in return, would do nothing in terms of PC ACTUAL performance, these types of changes is like me going from visual to performance mode in advanced settings, i've done a test on both and it has 0 impact in this day and age BECAUSE the "areo" that win10 uses is hardwired into the OS, that was the ONLY thing that really impacted pc performance back then.

[@ExploiTARK]

@@ThatBritishGuy The thing is that 90% in your cache is outdated, or You probably never even use it... so its helpfull to refresh it once and a while.. and re download the files that you actually use.

[@harrydijkstra9936]

Most software/browsers have cache foldersize limits with the oldest cache items automatically cleared. Same as deleting the prefetch folder, those files are there for a reason. Clearing it only causes the superfetch/sysmain service to recreate everything and in the process making it slower on boot with HDD (On systems with SSD you can optionally disable the "Sysmain" service, superfetch allows files to be arranged in a specific order on HDD's so it can be loaded faster). A lot of those speed-up and optimize-my-pc programs are snake oil, Disk cleanup as administrator is enough and you can clear the windows.old folder with that as well.

[@laptopdr]

For more information watch out this link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGkXmWiobN-fdU

[@hiro-sl5og]

When u completed all the steps but the disk cleanup is still half way done so u can't restart and enjoy😩

[@jawz101_fpv7]

Deleting caches would have the opposite effect to performance and speed. By definition, a cache in computing is a temporary store to improve future loadtimes. Say, you have a photo album where pictures are stored and as you view the photos in a gallery-type view, a tiny thumbnail is generated for each picture so that when you scroll through a grid of pictures it can scroll through them quickly without having to recreate tiny versions of the files. Or, say, you browse the Internet. A web browser will store the pictures and code it downloaded from the web server onto a cache folder on your machine so that when you revisit a page with the same resources, it does not have to redownload them each time. These cache/temp folders are typically made to clean up after themselves once their size limit is reached so flushing them out manually simply makes the recaching operation reoccur. You don't constantly flush the toilet just to change out the water.

[@paulmartin6209]

well put. Is it still good to clear out the cashe eventually tho?

[@jawz101_fpv7]

@@paulmartin6209 realistically, only if it makes you feel good. The only other situation is if you're storage is used up but at that point it's time to get more storage. If you have to constantly empty out temp files just to have a little more space, it's probably time to get more storage.

You should have performed some before and after benchmarks to validate your claim that this will speed up Windows. Sure, deleting all of these files will free up a load of space on the C: drive, but I have to wonder if performance will actually be improved. If anything, the first time the computer is restarted, apps are launched, or websites are accessed will probably be slower than before, as the cache initially created to speed up this activity has to be rebuilt.
