My computer is taking longer to load when I simply open my web browser.
I have cleaned my cookies and history, but it still takes a long time to load.
I think I have too much junk accumulated over the years that needs to be cleaned out but I don’t know how…
I tried to download a short clip the other day but I don’t know where my computer saved the file. The program stated that I downloaded it six times, but I have no idea where all those downloads went and I have no idea what they are called.
Like I said, there must be a bunch of junk on my PC that needs to be cleaned up. I looked at some files and folders, but there are hundreds with crazy, illegible names that have no logical meaning to me at all. How is a regular person who doesn’t have a degree in computer programming supposed to be able to maintain their computer??
