Some words about computer dust
Many of you have probably heard about PC dust. They are all the files occupying disk space and having advantage neither for you nor for the PC. They can be compared to mosquitoes which importunately try to exhaust blood offering nothing in exchange. How is it possible, you ask? Why are nonfunctional and even disfunctional elements there in the computer which should contain only the functional elements? There are some reasons and they depend on PC dust type.
For example, temp Internet files arise during Internet work. A web-server which you address as a client to keep on a hard disk different files which fix your options, personal profile on the site, results of other activity during web-navigation. Overwhelming majority of the files is useless for you and Internet navigation but they occupy disk space and complicate PC work.
Temp system files arise like temp Internet files. The difference is that it is not Internet server that creates dust files but system files and programs which also involuntarily create garbage files during their work. Naturally system files don’t “consider” these files as the dust after all they help to carry out system functions. However after performance of such functions they become useless saving their disk place.
Incorrect shortcuts are formed other wisely. If you press on such shortcut instead of program start there is a message «Sorry the file X isn’t found». The reason of their formation is a mismatch between the program and the shortcut. If you’ve removed such program it’s not the fact that the shortcut has been removed. It will occur only if the setup-program has itself created the shortcut during the program installation and considers it to be its system element. Otherwise (if shortcut has been created by you) the program-uninstaller won’t “notice” it and will keep in PC. Other reason is the file moving. In this case the shortcut refers to an empty place.
Duplicate files. The reason of occurrence of this files type is our carelessness and big disk space filled in thousand of various files. It is unreal to remember all these files, their mission and the name. As result we install programs, download music and video which have already been on the computer. Naturally, the clone (or the original - it is unimportant) is useless.
Struggle with computer dust, get rid of unnecessary files, make disk clean up – make your computer more purely.
