HOW TO CLEAN YOUR COMPUTER

How to use Cleanmgr.exe ?

To launch Cleanmgr, you can pass via the Windows Start Menu or the Run Command. Both ways works however, I find the Start Menu option faster if you're running Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 with a Start Menu that have the search bar in it.

To launch Cleanmgr from the Start Menu
  • Click on the Windows Start Menu (or your alternate Start Menu if you have Windows 8/8.1);
  • Type "cleanmgr" ("cleanmgr.exe" works too) in the search bar;
  • Click on the cleanmgr icon that shows up in the results;

To launch Cleanmgr from the Run command
  • Press on the Win Key + R at the same time;
  • Wait for the Run box to open;
  • Type "cleanmgr" ("cleanmgr.exe" works too) in the Run box;
  • Press Enter;

After that, Cleanmgr will ask start and ask you to select the drive on which to run the scan. By default, the C: drive (where Windows is installed) is selected, and that's the one you usually want to clean. However, you're free to run pick any other drives for that scan. Be sure to pick the same drive later when you select "Cleanup system files" (if you're running Windows Vista or higher). Once you selected your drive, just click on Ok to launch the scan (research).

Once Cleanmgr is done scanning for the files to delete, a window will appear with different checkboxes, each corresponding to one specific type of files to delete. From there, just check the checkboxes of the files you want to delete (I suggest you to check all of them) and click on "Ok" when you're ready to delete them. If you click on a line, for some files, the "View files" button will appear. When clicking on it, it will open the folder location where these files are stored so you can see their path and what they are. However, I recommend you to click on "Cleanup system files" (requires Admin. Rights, hence the UAC icon) in order to have even more files to cleanup and gain back more space. Once you click on "Cleanup system files", the same pop up as when you launched Cleanmgr will appear and asks you to choose the drive you want to scan. Select your Windows drive (C:, selected by default) and then click on "Ok".

Wait for scan to finish once again and you'll get another window that looks exactly like the precedent one you had, but with new, added checkboxes and files. I suggest you to check every checkboxes and to click on "Ok". A warning box will appear, asking you if you're sure to delete all these files. Click on "Delete files" and wait until the scan is done. Once it's done, it will close automatically (the icon will dissapear from the task bar). That new window also offers you the "More options" tabs, which allows you to open your list of installed programs to uninstall them and also an option that will delete all your previous System Restore points except the most recent one.
