It's a good idea to periodically clean your pc of unnecessary files. Some reasons are keeping your system running smoothly, privacy, disk space . There are several free programs available that can help you in this regard. One program we recomend is CCleaner. This program does a great job cleaning out your your pc and best of all,, it's free!

"CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history." - CCleaner Website

This program can clean several types of files at once making it very convenient and easy to use. Some example of files it can clean are:
