Invasion of Privacy! Big Brother and the Company Hackers

I find the most convenient way to empty the Recycle Bin and delete other unnecessary cache files that leave a digital trail is to use the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.

To use Disk Cleanup

  1. Double-click My Computer.

  2. Right-click on a hard disk drive.

  3. Select Properties.

  4. Click the Disk Cleanup button on the General tab.

Caution  

Do not check Compress Drive or Allow Indexing Services. They elongate disk cleaning and bog down the OS.
