    For each program that you do not need, select it and click "delete." Repeat as many times as needed. Back to the window cleaning disc and in the "System Restore", click "Clear." Answer "yes" to the dialog box that appears. Then right-click the Start button and click on "explore". See you all in the C: \ WINDOWS \ Help \ Tours. Remove all remaining files and folders. One remaining: Clean Windows, who refuses to remove. Then go to the parent folder, one named Help. Here are the files using Windows in. Hlp and. Chm. You can delete files with that extension if you do not use the help of your software or the Windows.

    See you later in the temporary directory by typing in the address bar% temp%. Press Enter. This folder contains files normally used by applications and removed as soon as there is more need. In fact there are still files in this case if the application has crashed or if it is poorly conceived. Click on entry and then delete all folders and files. normally you should have won dozens of megabytes on your drive.

    You can then follow the advice of this article: Clean the registry to complete the cleaning of Windows.
