   Disk Clean Up simply cleans up all the temp files on your computer (ie Internet cache). It is a very safe application to run.

   It deletes temp files, and old installation files as well as compressing old/rarely used files to save disk space. Totally safe

   It gets rid of useless files like Cookies and Temporary internet files.

   It’s kinda useless, just ignore it.

   Disk clean up is for cleaning up unnecessary space on your drive.
   It cleans up (i think) the following:
   -Temporary Internet Files
   -Windows Error Reporting archive thingy
   -Recycle Bin
   -Clipboard
   -Hibernation File (Used for hibernation. If you don’t usually use hibernation, you may clean this up)
   It also lets u clean up all but the latest restore point, Restore Points are used for restoring your computer back to the last state. It is created when you install software or updates. This component usually takes up a lot of space, usually about 400MB per restore point.
   Disk clean up IS NOT harmful. That’s all;
