Today, I will talk to you about how to delete the garbage that takes up space in the Windows system. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

The following are difficult or impossible to solve with software and usually need to be cleaned manually:

1. X:\ WINDOWS\ Internet Logs

Even for general applications, the files in this directory can have hundreds of megabytes, if not 2G, after a year. Fortunately, there is nothing special, just delete it all, if you can't delete it, UNLOCKER can keep up with it. (individuals often do it, it's okay.)

2. X:\ WINDOWS\ Fonts

90% of these English fonts are not used by most people once in their lifetime. Keep a few fashions and OVER the rest. (form a good habit and don't have to patronize often)

3. X:\ WINDOWS\ Installer

This is a place that can make people angry.

The installer made using Windows Installer technology will add a backup installation file to the Installer directory for future configuration, patch installation, and so on. When the user runs a patch, Windows Installer releases the msp file to the Installer directory and starts to guide the user to install the patch. If the user clicks the cancel operation during boot or the patch installation fails due to insufficient prerequisites, Windows Installer will exit the installation process, but will retain the msp files released into the Installer directory. If the user runs the same patch again, Windows Installer will generate a new msp file (with a different file name from the previous one) in the Installer directory instead of taking advantage of the msp file generated by the previous release. In this way, the msp files generated for the first time will be permanently stored on disk and become completely useless files. Especially after installing the Office patch, it will not only leave a backup of the installer in the Installer folder, but also send it to Installer\ $PatchCache

This is part of the reason why the hard disk takes up several times the size of the program when we have installed some programs. "easy to install and maintain in the future"-this kind of saying is like a respected SB drooling on the rostrum, it is wrong because this "complete" practice of keeping installation files is actually only convenient for people who write programs, and does not take users into account at all. For those who have installed VS2003 or patch 2005, the rogue performance of Windows Installer is comparable to that of rising in China.

Let's talk about it first.

Files under simple Installer are much more complex, and simple deletion is not recommended (unless it is certain that it will not be uninstalled or upgraded). You can use WICleanup to clean up the absolutely redundant ones.

4. Temporary files of JAVA

Since SP2 has not integrated Microsoft's JVM, 99% of people have probably installed SUN's JRE. If you don't care about anything after the default installation, the default size of JAVA temporary files is 1G (JRE 6)!

This kind of file is not under WINDOWS, but it is recommended that everyone: control Panel-- JAVA-- General-- temporary INTERNET setting and then change the directory, resize or simply disable "Save on my computer".

5. X:\ WINDOWS\ Driver Cache

WINDOWS's own drivers can be deleted, and you can download the latest drivers related to yourself on the Internet and save them outside the system disk.

The above tips are available at any time, there is no system crash (you are welcome to kill my family if you are going to crash), it is easy to clean up 1G--5G 's LJ, and using rabbits has no such effect at all.

I was puzzled for a time: Microsoft, as the only one to master all the underlying technologies of WINDOWS, should be the most qualified to develop system cleaning software, although WINDOWS does have this function, but it is obviously just a pose, why is that? Too busy? Deal with a host of problems every day? Microsoft's attitude of never looking back moved me for hours, and then it dawned on me: this kind of system redundancy is exactly what Microsoft needs! Think back to WINDOWS 3.1 in ancient times, that is, ten floppy disks, but now the vista is 2G! From this we can see a simple logic: the equipment pressure of users will strengthen the sales and research and development of hardware manufacturers, so as to provide Microsoft with a higher level of hardware platform. Without this support, what will Gates have for breakfast tomorrow? As the leader of the global software industry, Microsoft only looks like a SB in many times, but it is always a drooling genius!
