Delete junk files
and free up the disk space
COMPUTERS
are not like furniture, they are more similar to automobiles -
requiring systematic cleaning and servicing, just as a vehicle does.
Further akin to automobiles, computers will begin to run poorly and
even "break-down" if not well taken care of and
maintained. People maintain their cars because of the large
investment they have in them but fail to maintain their computer
systems. Poor maintenance can lead to loss of important data. We are
featuring a freeware that helps to maintain the computer's health.
Find Junk Files
This is a
user-friendly utility designed to free up the disk space by deleting
junk files. Each time you use a PC, unwanted files are created that
increasingly use more space on your hard drives. Find Junk Files can
find over 180 types of junk files with ease. Unlike many other
programs Find Junk Files will let you choose which drive or drives
to clean, which file types to search for and/or what folders to
include or exclude, whether to delete them or not. It works with Win
'95, Win98, WinNT 4.0, WinME, Win2000 and WinXP. Most of the Windows
applications temporarily create several files on the hard drive when
running. These files are supposed to be removed and the space
recovered after the programs are closed. Often, however, they don't
because of a program error or a sloppy architecture. Also when the
system is reset or not shutdown properly, or if another application
locks up or crashes, such files are generated. Any file that is left
behind will remain on the system unless you search and remove them
manually. Over a period of time, these junk and obsolete files can
accumulate to megabytes of wasted hard drive space, as well as turn
into potential error-producing cross-linked drive references. As
well as wasting space on your system, obsolete and junk files can
produce very hazardous results if not properly cleaned from your
drive on a periodical basis. The symptoms that these garbage files
can produce include: cross-linked drive references, lost network and
Internet connections, sudden application lock ups, lost data,
general protection faults (GPFs) or fatal errors
in your applications, virus like behaviour, mysterious reboots and
Out of Memory errors. Find Junk Files does the cleaning up
effectively offering several ways to eliminate accidental deletion
of files. For newbies, the default program settings would do while
the relatively advanced users can make their choices within the
program itself. Download available at www.iclaxton.com/downloads.html
